Lindsay Tedds, calling all the bullshit. deadfortaxreasons.wordpress.com/2026/05/14/b...

I get the impulse to interview the "other side" in a debate, but when that side are liars and bad faith actors, what becomes the point other than to give them a new platform to lie on? Cochrane was pushing back as much as he could, but there are some very diminished returns from it.

This Jeff Rath interview has gone entirely off the rails. Apparently the First Nations are being funded by "communist China." #PnPCBC

"This referendum is dead. For the premier to spend taxpayer time and money to resurrect it, would prove what we’ve always known: she’s a separatist." Official statement from the NDP. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Danielle Smith’s UCP Captured by Alberta Separatists Danielle Smith is pandering to "cultist" separatists like Parker, Rath, Sylvestre, etc. Can Alberta's democracy survive the assault? My interview w/Thomas @lukaszukab.bsky.social #ableg #abpoli youtu.be/WodpWFZYvv8

Alberta Oil CEOs Flip Flop on Carbon Pricing Max Fawcett and I discuss oil sands CEOs' hearty endorsement in 2014/15, only to backtrack now while pretending that they're victims of Ottawa. Yeah, hypocrites. Own it, oil bros. #ableg #apoli youtu.be/1eaHCxZhvLM

Danielle Smith is Not Fit to Hold Political Office Her record speaks for itself. She's a disgrace. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli youtu.be/Yl0OK3_lpDs

Thomas Lukaszuk on Danielle Smith calling Alberta judge's decision 'undemocratic': "Courts rule on what is right and what is wrong and what is lawful and what is illegal. They don't render popular decisions. They render righteous decisions. But the Premier doesn't seem to be concerned about that."

Jeff Rath - AB Prosperity Project is all bluster & bombast about the appeal of the judge’s ruling saying the judge doesn’t understand. The one who doesn’t understand is Mr. Rath no matter how many times Cochrane explains the ruling. Shouting Mr. Rath doesn’t make you right. #pnpcbc #cdnpoli #abpoli

Randy Boissonnault: "You cannot sit down with the feds and negotiate a new deal that will make Albertans more prosperous and Canada stronger on a Monday and then put a referendum question on the ballot on Friday. The Premier needs to pick a lane."

Thank you Shachi Kurl for pointing out who Danielle Smith has always been. Calling out her grievance “schtick” from her radio days. Yes she needs to decide/prove if in fact she IS for Canada. IMO that is her responsibility as Premier. She got herself into this corner. #pnpcbc #abpoli #cdnpoli

Seattle soared to prosperity with the help of cheap power from city-owned dams in the North Cascades. Now, after more than a century, it has agreed to pay three Indigenous tribes about $1.35 billion for some of the wealth it extracted from the Skagit River.

PM of Canada Carney just announced clean electric strategy Going to cost trillion dollars 30,000 jobs in two years 100,000 more to be added as the project goes to 2050 The electric grid will be massively expanded It will benefit 70% of Canadians BNN reported

"Based on available information, we recommend that passengers and crew of the MV Hondius, as well as contacts of passengers, be quarantined for 45 days, and that respirators (N95/FFP2/FFP3 or greater) be worn by all HCWs and others in contact with suspected or confirmed Andes virus cases."

Go honey bee!!!! This is why dandelions are so important, especially in the spring! They’re not weeds, they’re important flowers! I think it’s time society changes their attitude about life on Earth. What some consider ugly and a nuisance in their lawns is a critical food source for bees.

When adversity strikes, our minds naturally gravitate toward threat detection and problem amplification. Healthy positivity interrupts this pattern by redirecting our cognitive resources toward possibility rather than limitation.

Wow so we are going to be paying the successful bidders to frack. WTF Tim Houston is energy minister to cover the theft of tax dollars. The 1st place to frack should be in Tim Houston's back yard, literally. If it is so safe and good he should not have a problem with it www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Mr. Martin is right about everything here in today’s @TheGlobeandMail.com except one: having the U.S. as “our foremost culture shaper” was ALWAYS a bad thing. The 🇺🇸USA has been defined by its racism, addiction to violence, anti-intellectualism, and unrestrained materialism since its very beginning.🙄

Awaiting the May update on the coming El Nino from the Climate Prediction Center. It should come out later today (2nd Thursday of the month). Here's April's forecast for comparison: www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/ana...

It’s game day! Game 5 Habs vs Sabres

The dangerous separatist agenda just hit a wall in court because First Nations fought back. Thank you to Indigenous leaders & communities for defending Treaty rights and the Constitution. You cannot threaten to break up Canada while ignoring Treaty. The UCP need to adhere to the court decision.

Both sides are right to come degree. There are people who depend upon the cap remaining in place to stay in their homes. However, it’s obviously unfair that people who’ve purchased homes more recently bear a much greater tax burden. The answer may be to change the municipal funding model…/2

BREAKING NEWS: PM Mark Carney says Canada “is launching a new National Electricity Strategy. This plan will double the capacity of our grid by 2050 and supply clean, reliable, affordable power across the country for decades to come. Expert interviews/analysis/commentary coming soon!

I don't think we need to sell the furniture to save the house, as it were

It was a pleasure to spend time with Prime Minister Carney last week in Toronto.

Genuine, sincere question: Is there a climate policy that the oil and gas industry would support?

Thursday morning. Cool and cloudy. Garden progressing with help from daughter. Simplifying with mulch and order! I am very confused by mixed messages from our P.M. Until O&G pay for all stranded assets everywhere in Canada, they should receive NO support. WE, are paying the shareholders.

Fossil fuels are not "sustainable". Your backsliding on carbon pricing will drive up emissions. Carbon capture is unproven hogwash. You're not fooling anyone. By the time WE PAY FOR Dani's pipelines, the world will have moved on.

(5/5) And this thread, of other unsustainable things, would not have been written: bsky.app/profile/trya... Because again none of the above actually helps defend Canada. In fact it weakens our defences to the U.S. and to oligarchy and it misjudges U.S. strategy: open.substack.com/pub/energymi...

(3/5) again this is not sustainable nor prudent: bsky.app/profile/rach... If you want to build - for all Canadians - then don't privatize: www.theguardian.com/politics/202... If you want to break from the old order we'd tax windfall profits of oil corporations NOT offer gas to U.S. data centres...
