'Every year, 34,000 people die prematurely in Canada from fossil fuel pollution.' 'Canada has the third highest childhood asthma rates linked to pollution in the world', just behind 'fellow oil giants' Kuwait & UAE. #ClimateCrisis #Canada #CDNPoli #NoPipelines bsky.app/profile/char...

"One of the strengths of Canada is recognizing that people can be who they want to be and love who they want to love. The federal government — we are the defenders of those rights. " PM Carney said #Cdnpoli #Uspoli #LGBTQ www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Nova Scotia! Premier Tim Houston says his province’s offshore wind power could supply nearly 1/3 of Canada’s energy needs - he confirms ongoing negotiations with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli

See this difference? Russia goes after innocent people. Ukraine goes after Russias weaponry. Clearly that will show you the difference between Good and Evil.

I can not adequately express my admiration for the Ukranian people. Displayed on the Ukranian embassy, Ottawa, Canada 🇨🇦

Overheard: Apparently Zelenskyy had some cards, and he didn’t need a suit.

There's no need to worry about becoming the 51st state. With Lecce, Ford, and the Cons, Ontario will be so morally bankrupt and environmentally desolate that people will think we're American anyway. #onpoli #cdnpoli

MB & SK are burning, but due to Trump tariffs & AB separatists, we need pipelines ➡️ more GHG ➡️ hotter planet ➡️ more #wildfires. Umm…destroy Cda to save it? We’re being played. Trump & Co. bad cop. Oil industry good cop, promises to bail us. But no #Canada on a dead planet. #CDNpoli #ClimateChange

Speak up against #Bill5 before it’s too late! Trump’s tariffs cannot justify eco-sacrifice zones & massive corruption opportunities. A strong Ontario cannot exist on a dying planet. Just days left to stop this bad law! Stop Bill 5 now | Ontario Greens gpo.ca/action_campa... #ONpoli

Servers use 5% of global energy, majority run on Linux, so saving 30% of the energy with a simple Linux software change would be great news! Thanks, #uWaterloo #Canada! #Linux #GoodNews

"We are sick of sharing royalties with the rest of the country; also, we insist you let us jam pipelines through the rest of the country."

So, @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social, what will Canada do about it? How about a full, two-way weapons boycott? #CDNpoli

Broke an ankle recently. Learned: - 1 sec inattention on stairs = trouble. - Thankful for Cda’s free universal healthcare: no $ for Drs, xrays. - But pay for crutches & plastic boot - what abt those who can’t afford? - Houses w/stairs become traps if lose mobility - need #accessible #housing

Happy World Migratory Bird Day! I found a great podcast episode in honour of the day, featuring the sonic beauty of #birds: songbirding.com/podcast/song... Also, tap on the 3-line menu at the top right for much more bird song goodness by the indefatigable Rob Porter. #WorldMigratoryBirdDay #WMBD

Disability is not a moral failing. Everyone who lives long enough will become disabled eventually. You can’t “try harder” your way out of it. People can’t accept disability is a part of life, so they blame us for being sick as a way to convince themselves it’ll never happen to them. It will.

The new new CPC slogan: “Plus ça change…” #CDNpoli

New study shows ongoing “plastic #recycling” #fail. “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle“ are in that order for a reason. Let’s keep the ban on #SingleUse #plastic, reject Conservative call to repeal it! Vote in #CdnElxn Apr. 28! #CDNpoli

Found much less garbage in #EarthDay clean-up today than in previous years. Few plastic bags stuck in bushes, straws in grass etc. Liberal govt’s ban on #SingleUse #plastic works! Conservatives want to repeal it for “convenience”. Plastic hurts animals. Microplastics bad for health. Vote! #CDNpoli

Singh/Poilievre “no GST on Cdn-made cars” www.cbc.ca/1.7501243 - tempting but bad: it amounts to a tariff on all foreign cars – incl. from vital partners EU, Japan & S. Korea. "...a tariff is just a sales tax on foreign goods." -Andrew Hencic, TD Economist stories.td.com/ca/en/articl... #CDNpoli 1/2

#CDNpoli Carney understands how economies actually work, and has experience managing crises. Canada came out strong from the US-caused 2008 Great Recession, thanks in part to Carney's Bank of Canada leadership. Now, another US-caused crisis. It's different, it will be tough, but he's got this.

Is there an alternate GUI sw update manager for the latest @linuxmint.bsky.social Cinnamon? My update app frequently vanishes after update, no confirmation of completion, sometimes updates don’t show up in View > History. If no alternate GUI updater, should I just use apt on command line? Thx #Linux
