BC, Canada, Pacific Coast: Temperature way too warm for January. June lily bulbs sprouted! First time I'll keep my yard sump pumps installed thru summer. Usually drought. But Incoming El Nino = Torrential rain storms. Over asphalt & dry packed dirt = flash floods. #bcfloods #bcpoli #climatecrisis

'Ocean Heat Goes Ballistic… In 2025 alone, the ocean gained 23 Zetta Joules …equivalent to every power plant, every car, every light bulb, & every device on Earth continuously in use for 37 yrs. This is how much extra heat the oceans absorbed in 2025, in 1 yr!' countercurrents.org/2026/02/ocea...

I'll add one thing: The Epstein files show he was a fully accepted, integrated part of the billionaire class culture. That's important NOT bc pedophilia binds that class together but bc THEY THEMSELVES understand his crimes to be of a piece with the abuse, domination, and impunity they practice.

'…key tensions in the energy transition. Green finance is built on a promise: that capital can be redirected to support the transition to a low-carbon economy while avoiding the environmental mistakes of the past. That promise is getting harder to keep.' theconversation.com/greenlands-g...

"There’s enough pipeline space Now for all the oil Alberta produces. That space can increase without introducing a new pipeline. Enbridge plans to expand its mainline network into the U.S. Trans Mountain can increase capacity by making oil move faster using an additive and adding pumping stations."

WHAT THE F--K!!! The DOJ has JUST DELETED these Epstein Files again, after a NYT's article from 2016 was shown to corroborate much of it! Share Everywhere: We Screen-Grabbed what they just deleted: krassencast.com/p/urgent-doj...

The law should apply equally to everyone, regardless of their wealth, power and status. On January 21, 2026, the CCLA joined more than 40 organizations in denouncing certain provisions in Bill C-15. Read more here. ccla.org/press-releas...

She keeps getting chances to show some loyalty to Canada -- and keeps turning them away in order to defend Alberta separatists and their cause. It's who she is. It's time we all started saying it. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/02/o...

The ungrateful halfwits in Alberta will never thank the taxpayers of Canada for saving the TM pipeline expansion. If they want another pipeline they can pay for it. Of course, they'll also need to find coastal port somewhere, because BC ain't playing. 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇨🇦

Some companies tie AI to layoffs, but the reality is more complicated (Business)

Good news: A federal judge just ruled the Forest Service’s “logging loophole” unlawful, restoring required environmental review for large logging projects in Oregon. Reality: It can’t undo three decades of old-growth loss already written into the landscape.

At a time of real economic worry in the NWT, military projects are starting that could direct more than $10 billion toward work in Yellowknife and Inuvik.

Flu season (yellow) is winding down in Canada after a really difficult December/early January. RSV (red) is now rising later in the season, while COVID (blue) remains relatively flat, possibly picking up in the spring.

'Int'l law meant to limit effects of war at breaking point, study finds… Such is the scale of violations, and the lack of consistent international efforts to prevent them …study… concludes that international humanitarian law is at “a critical breaking point”.' www.theguardian.com/law/2026/feb...

Daniel Drucker, the Canadian researcher whose discovery almost 30 years ago led to blockbuster GLP-1 drug Ozempic, is still making breakthroughs, by @kellygrant1.bsky.social, Kasia Mychajlowycz www.theglobeandmail.com/life/article... via @theglobeandmail.com

The NDP’s talk of renewal rings hollow after barring Bianca Mugyenyi from the leadership race. As @nolore.bsky.social writes, ideological gatekeeping and internal bureaucracy stifle democracy and make the party hostile to the transformative politics it once embraced.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...

Canadian banks closed 561 branches & 900 ATMs in 4 years, while population grew 7%. Those same banks made $70 billion profit last year alone. We need postal banking & credit unions freed to provide all banking services. Public options for banking now! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

In the midst of the pandemic, Harbour Publishing kindly offered to bring out a new and expanded edition of my 1978 book on BC's Black Pioneers: harbourpublishing.com/products/978...

This is a very important decision on a journey that started when I was Minister in 2019. As the Federal Court ruled: “To put the matter bluntly … the chemical content of [plastics] is irrelevant to the sea otter choking on a plastic straw. The problem is the plastic item itself, not its chemistry.”

Ain’t I been telling you the reactionary backlash was driven by the very rich and powerful watching regular people use social media to accuse Harvey Weinstein of sex crimes, then watching him dragged sobbing to jail, unprotected by his enormous wealth? What do you think the cancel culture panic was.

The Great Banker feels that Human Rights is just something we can't afford anymore. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Post Heated Rivalry press: today is the day that Queer media now does a follow up story on how Mark Carney made us fight for WAGE funding for the better part of a year, and how he has not said anything about Alberta’s war on trans children or the queer book bans, right? Right?

"the Alberta government has been under-counting the ambulances sent to drug poisonings by as much as 89 percent." #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #EMSCrisis drugdatadecoded.ca/how-do-you-r...

Smith has fueled separation since she took office. Ottawa treats Alberta badly, ignoring: Alberta bail outs during low oil prices. $100B BC & Canada tripled contents of TMX, built Site C mega dam, 5 LNG plants plus electrical & pipelines for AB/BC Montney gas/oil fields. Ungrateful rube.

OMG Smith after ten years of Trudeau demonized Alberta. Lady, he built you a $35B pipeline, your industry then cut 10,000 jobs. Trudeau never put in freedom restricting measures on Alberta, vaccine requirements were part of employers and most of that was PROVINCIALLY mandated! #cdnpoli

"When governments recognize jurisdiction and manage resources in partnership with Indigenous Nations, we see more joint ventures, Indigenous equity, and durable benefit agreements. We also see fewer conflicts when terms are negotiated before companies invest millions."

Solidarity with PSAC-AFPC members fighting back against Carney’s callous cuts. We're in a moment of economic emergency: austerity is the worst possible response. We shouldn't be attacking good jobs and public services, we should be expanding them to protect Canadians from the shocks still to come.

How about if 🇨🇦Canada annexes #BlueAmerica? Life is much better with Universal Health Care, Public Education, more peaceful, kinder and a more accepting society, are just a few amazing reasons why Canada is a great country to live in. ❤️🇨🇦❤️ #CDNpoli #USApoli

Did a reporter ask him why he then slashed the arts budget in Canada 🇨🇦? #cdnpoli #HeatedRivalry

YES!!!! OVERTURN THAT SHIT

Thinking the U.S. airlines that serve smaller towns and cities might have problems serving them, considering how many Dash series planes are in the air. Also, forest fire fighting might be more difficult. Dumbass. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

The geo political implications of Heated Rivalry are incredible. The amount of soft power and persuasion it has generated is unmatched in my lifetime. It is a counter insurgency to a global right wing hegemonic shift. It will continue to be underestimated, as it changes hearts & minds.

Some hard truths for provincial separatists: * A province doesn't "belong" to its provincial government. * A province doesn't "belong" to the people who live there. * A province belongs to all of Canada and Indigenous treaty members. * Referendums have no legal status in Canada. #cdnpoli #ableg

Trump: China's going to make Canada stop playing hockey if they sign a trade deal. Carney:

In full agreement with @davidebybc.bsky.social & thankful that he called it out "To go to a foreign country and to ask for assistance in breaking up Canada, there's an old-fashioned word for that, and that word is treason," said Eby, #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

This is who the separatists are. Huge thanks to my colleague @arnokopecky.bsky.social for getting that on the record. #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/29/n...

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year! Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him. He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary. His health is declining. Public outrage might save his life. Say his name:

Canada still claims to be a “world leader” on ghost gear, but the Liberals let funding lapse in 2024. As I told the National Observer, “It was one of the most effective ocean protection programs Canada’s ever created.” Ghost gear isn’t niche, it’s about safety, food security & real action.
