1/ The Carney government has fallen hard for AI hype, and it's endangering us all. This unprecedented invitation of data-hungry tech execs inside our house (where all our confidential data is stored) is a disturbing betrayal of public trust. dub.link/NDYvJU0

so we can choose between more oil and gas in Canada, and unprecendented societal and ecological collapse, or trying to mitigate the climate crisis with an emphasis on renewable energy and energy efficiency. Tough choice Carney. Your move.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans. Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills. Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

WATCH: Bill C-15 would allow cabinet ministers to exempt any individual or corporation from virtually any federal law for up to six years and includes no meaningful safeguards. When pressed in question period today, the government's response was "trust us."

Hey Liberal supporters. Think about the PP and the Cons would do with this law? They fully support it, and they will weaponize it if they are ever elected - and one day they will be. If you don't like the thought of them using it, push back on Carney and the Libs for wanting to use it.

It’s naked corruption and a decimation of the rule of law: “Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to grant cabinet ministers the power to exempt any individual or company from any federal law on the books — except for the Criminal Code — for up to six years. “ #cdnpoli apple.news/Ai261EfiGREW...

Carney: how can we screw the disabled more?

“If he’s willing to send the army against Portland why wouldn’t he send it against Calgary?”

A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

I'm tired of the focus on the "second strikes." The FIRST strikes were barzenly illegal. Even if they WERE drug smugglers, it was murder. 87 counts of murder.

Yes, the rising amount of wildfires across the country needs, let's see, *less* resources. Because taking away people who can predict and prevent wildfires saves so much money in the long-run. And to try and convince anti-environmentalists, the destroyed lumber can't be sold to other countries!

The death of children due to an unsafe vaccine is a serious allegation. What the FDA is saying about the Covid vax is not based on fact. Article by a pediatric cardiologist who's studied the link between Covid vaccines & heart-related side effects such as myocarditis in children. No pay wall.

WOW! AN HONOR! — GCN

PM Carney subsidizes Big Oil to pump carbon to increase production. He walks back greenwashing rules allowing Big Oil to lie. He cuts a deal on planet killing methane. Now his team is walking. The CEO isn't smartest guy in the room when it comes to a burning planet. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

This is a disturbing article on how the Canadian government uses a loophole to allow weapons to the United States that are used to kill people in Gaza. Parliament voted to end military shipments to Israel. We need to insist that our government follows through. www.readthemaple.com/liberals-fea...

I wonder what Andrew Scheer and Marjorie Taylor Rempel will do? #cdnpoli www.cleveland.com/news/2025/12...

😤 “Wright measured the cedar's diameter at 2.79 metres, a size that should have ensured protection for the tree, along with a one-hectare buffer under provincial law. But when he returned…the tree had been felled as part of a logging operation approved by the province.” #Canada #BC

Steven Guilbeault tells @woodsideful.bsky.social about his decision to leave cabinet over the pipeline deal: “When the agreement came out someone texted me saying, ‘The only thing missing from the agreement is Pierre Poilievre's signature,’ and I went yeah, I think that sums it up."

Reflections on this International Day of Persons with Disabilities. We can do a hell of a lot better, and we need to. #cdnpoli youtube.com/shorts/4He-1...

The PBO has confirmed what housing advocates & the NDP have warned: Carney & Robertson are presiding over a dramatic retreat in federal housing investment—56% in cuts by 2028-29. Families, seniors & unhoused people will feel the consequences. #cdnpoli youtu.be/qhZdHvz_zB8

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

What can the @ndp.ca do to *really* reinvent the party? They could have all 5 candidates form a SHARED PARTY LEADER coalition! It's so inspiring how the candidates are really stepping up for each other. What's more symbolic of the NDP than working together, everyone bringing their own strengths?

NDP leadership hopeful @tonymcquailndp.bsky.social paused his fundraising efforts with one goal in mind: Redirecting those donors so his competitor, @votetanille.bsky.social, could stay in the race. It worked -- but Tanille refused to leave Tony behind. 
The result? A wildly heartwarming story:

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think: In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels. In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

Also, not for nothing, but dismantling capitalism will be virtually impossible if this weird AI coup they are attempting works. Reality will be so destabilized and impossible to agree on we will fracture into dust. You've really got to fight this, everywhere and time you see it. It's vital.

I think BC needs to threaten separation from Canada, as the only way to get something from Carney is to get him to appease you. (See the US and Alberta) He's not beholden to his promises or any ethical standards, and wants democracy in Canada about as much as 47 does.

Danielle Smith's chief of staff *FreeAlbertaRob* brags on twitter that not only did they wring 7 concessions out of Carney in exchange for an agreement on raising the industrial carbon price by April 1 next year, they're not going to be raising the carbon price on April 1 next year. 👀

As a scientist I couldn't disagree more. As a person who watches politics i get it. Regular Canadians however have no fucking clue what to believe as a lot of shit is presented everywhere as fact.

Carney’s deal with Danielle Smith is the sellout of the century: scrapping climate legislation for a pipeline that will never be built. We need powerlines, not pipelines. Our path is through climate leadership & building good jobs in the clean economy.

The House of Commons UNANIMOUSLY passed the oil tanker moratorium in northwest B.C. in 1972 because they knew how sensitive the coast is and how dangerous the waters are. An oil spill there will be catastrophic. Economic development is one thing - being reckless and short-sighted quite another.

We live in a society awash in wealth. Big banks and big oil pull in tens of billions while public needs go unmet.  We need leaders willing to where the money is. A 1% tax on the wealthiest 1% could raise billions for strong, universal public services. #cdnpoli #ndp

Big news in British Columbia! The all party Democratic and Electoral Reform Committee has recommended a Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform after months of hearings. 1/10

There is no political, economic or environmental case for even pretending to consider Northern Gateway pipeline. Mark Carney has given a huge with to Danielle Smith while reviving the environmental conflicts of Stephen Harper. This is a huge mistake. My latest. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Prompter: I'm an amazing athlete! Bystander: Oh, how much do you work out? P: I don't. But I tell the AI simulated athlete what moves to make. So it's like I did it myself! B: ... If this sounds ridiculous to you, imagine how artists, musicians, and other creators are feeling right now.

Comparison to AI’s value

NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.

Thank you. Yikes!!! So a Minister can just declare that "entities" are emempt from ANY law b/c they believe it is in the "public interest". It's completely at their discretion. It last for 3 years, and can be extended for an additional 3 at their "discretion". Such a bad law. Will be abused.

Sign the petition against Bill 11 and a letter goes straight to the Premier — instantly putting your voice on record. But the real power comes when you share it. All Albertans need to be aware of the government’s plan to replace universal public healthcare with a two-tier system. notwotier.ca

there were a couple weeks where i tried Perplexity to see if AI search engines were any good. They aren't. If you disagree let me make something clear: I am better at searching than you.

Everyone knows data centers use a ton of water. What hardly anyone knows: they can poison the water that remains. And in eastern Oregon, Amazon is doing exactly that.

It’s time to enforce the Health Canada Act before it’s too late. #CdnPoli

This is a nice tidy graphic of what I've been saying for decades.
