The Fraser Institute published a study on the fiscal cost of Canada’s low-carbon economy -- one that (shocker!) found lots of money spent on relatively few jobs. I fact checked it for them. It didn't go well. maxfawcett.substack.com/p/lies-damn-...

When deception’s more profitable than honesty, users lose. Internal documents suggest that Meta earns $3.5B(!) every 6 mo. from scam ads, revealing a deeper systemic problem: the economic incentive to tolerate “higher legal risk” content still outweighs any penalty. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Catastrophic nature loss is at least as serious a problem as climate breakdown, but only gets a fraction of the (woefully inadequate) attention. THE most critical tasks of our time are: • Protect what remains of wild ecosystems • Mass rewilding where damaged or lost www.earth.com/news/africas...

1. This is a thread on freedom, and how easy it is to lose. Over the past 2,000 years in Europe, there have been few periods and places of freedom. For much of the time we lived under highly oppressive tyrannies of various kinds, whether small or grand, local or imperial, secular or religious.🧵

“In his final budget before facing voters next October, Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim is presenting a property tax freeze and $50 million more for police, & major cuts to arts, culture, community services & sustainability.” Brutal austerity for everything else, but $50 million more for over-budget cops.

A con strategist on CBC NN assures us PP is going to change 🤣 Even if he could, the whole gang are still Harper’s reformers and we know they would sell us off to the highest bidder. Doug and Dani are leading with destruction of public education, privatization of healthcare, climate change denial

Corporate and union donations are back in Alberta politics. And as @markusoff.bsky.social found out, one party benefited from that change much more in the last quarter. #AbLeg

Danielle Smith & the UCP don’t love freedom - they love power. And they’re happy to trample the rights of anyone who gets in their way. Albertans deserve better than a government of cowardly bullies. And better is possible. #abpoli
