A study done by Ontario’s electricity operator found that wind and solar energy combined with battery storage can meet about 99.5% of Ontario’s electricity demand. Renewables can power Ontario’s future. Let's put #RenewablesON! act.environmentaldefence.ca/page/188460/...

Together, we will fling open the doors to the 99% and rebuild the NDP into a political instrument of the people. // Ensemble, nous ouvrirons grand les portes aux 99 % et rebâtirons le NPD comme levier politique du peuple. youtu.be/LorxoMDyhKM?...

Avi Lewis: "When Israel commits a genocide in Gaza, we call them out. When the US and Israel start an illegal and reprehensible war against Iran that sets the world on fire, we say Canada should have absolutely no role in it whatsoever."

I just told the Prime Minister I oppose Alberta’s proposed bitumen pipeline to B.C.’s north coast. It puts ecosystems and coastal First Nations at risk and locks Canada into a fossil fuel future. Let’s invest in renewables, protect nature and uphold Indigenous rights. share.nwmd.social/s/ddq3JJkb

The CPP is investing the pensions of 22 million Canadians in companies propping up ICE — the agency that kidnaps people off the street, separates families, violates due process, and targets people of colour. Demand CPP divest from ICE now: leadnow.ca/campaigns/cp...

Love this project, and the councillor. We need to plant these, together. Start talking about where a hedgerow would be great…

Good article in The Tyee.

If you’re in Calgary, Canada, it was the shady tactics of those fighting smart, responsible infill housing policy that first inspired me to pull back the curtains on “The Populist Playbook.” That infill policy is being discussed by City Council again, I hear. Don’t fall for the Playbook, Calgary.

“Fastest, cheapest with lovely sections along the Dodder and Grand Canal that you can't enjoy on a bus or in a car. Bike is best!” Via @news.rte.ie A race between car, bus and e-bike? Now try it again with a dedicated bus-lane so full busses aren’t stuck in all that single-person car traffic.

A respectful message for Canadian Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social. I spoke out loudly for Canada to elect you, because of your intelligence, experience, and emphasis on nation-building. Any successful nation-building HAS TO GO ALL IN on renewable energy, and car/oil independence in cities.

They thought killing and brutalizing protesters would scare us off the streets. Republicans went quiet on No Kings for a reason: when people hear about it, they show up. March 28. Text NOKINGS to 59798. Bring 3 friends. #NoKings2026

The real threat to our national security is an electoral system that turns 40% of the vote into total power. Doug Ford has used that inflated "majority" while facing billion dollar scandals and even exempting himself from freedom of information laws. Canada needs proportional representation.

What would it take for NDP support in a Liberal minority? Rabble asked every leadership candidate. We’re highlighting all who said proportional representation should be a condition. Here’s Avi Lewis’ response:

What would it take for NDP support in a Liberal minority? Rabble.ca asked every leadership candidate. We’re highlighting all who said proportional representation should be a condition. Here’s Tanille Johnston's response:

This is what first-past-the-post does. 48% support becomes 81% of seats, opposition voices vanish, and whole regions are represented by just one party. Proportional representation means every vote counts everywhere.

As @acoyne.bsky.social writes in The Globe and Mail, minority governments often deliver more legitimate, negotiated outcomes. So why do we keep producing false majority governments with less than 40% of the vote? Proportional representation would make cooperation the norm.

Coalition governments are not a flaw, they are accountability in action. When leaders have to work with others, they cannot ignore millions of voters. Proportional representation makes that the norm instead of the exception.

The 2026 World Happiness Report is out, and the pattern is clear. Countries with proportional representation rank at the top. That's not a coincidence. These systems push governments to serve everyone, not just swing ridings. It's time to make every vote count here too.

Today's Word: empleomania Definition: A mania for being elected and holding the power of public office. A rare 19th-century term derived from Spanish. I propose it should be added to the DSM as a diagnosable condition disqualifying suffers from being on the ballot.

Think of every lazy “Happy St. Patrick’s Day” shared by politicians. Then watch this remarkable video, something I’ve never seen a city’s mayor do. #StPatricksDay

Hmm…

Today is the Day of Action for Public Health Care. I took action to defend our public health care system against Alberta's two-tier law. You can too: dayofaction.healthcoalition.ca share.nwmd.social/s/5qx55pgL

In my experience, most cities & towns fail to make progress because of lack of political will. But others fail to make progress because of a less physically violent version of the plot-line of the original Roadhouse movie… a local rich guy/family with far too much bullying power to block good ideas.
