November 2025 was the third warmest November on record in ERA5 at 1.54C above preindustrial levels – below only the records set in the prior two years (2023 and 2024):

"According to data from Media Radar, The New York Times took in more than $20 million in advertising revenue from fossil fuel companies from Oct 2020 to Oct 2023, twice what any other outlet earned from the industry" - @amywestervelt.bsky.social, Matthew Green & @joeygrostern.bsky.social #NYT

I don’t think we as a society are really aware of the extent to which some people just outright hate kids. In this case, a city councilmember in King County, WA would prefer kids walk in a ditch than have a sidewalk installed.

Truly had no idea this was so controversial. 😂 I've used PNW for years, but usually default to just West Coast or the Island. Did also grow up watching a lot of Seattle tv broadcasts tho.

1/ And my third post. This one is on the differences between the 2024 and 2025 plans.

1/ And here's the second of my posts. This one is on how we got here. Centennial Square was presented to the public for the first time in 1962. Here's an architect's model from 1963. #yyj

As a Downtown/Harris Green resident, I approve of this message. #yyj

1/ As promised (threatened?), here's the first post in my series on the Centennial Square Revitalization project. This thread is about the revised plan that was presented to Council on Thursday, November 27 and, more specifically, about community safety, both real and perceived.

States piling on to allowing balcony solar. What about the provinces? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The most visible part of this effort is enforcement. However the other side is support. @pacificahousing.bsky.social is one organization doing this work. We’ve done an expanded outreach pilot that has gone out early mornings & evenings since the summer focused on the business corridors 🧵

Alto closes the meeting and reminds us that we will not have a Dec 9 budget meeting. Staff will go out for public engagement and be back on the 23rd of Jan with that info while we have lots to consider. [Sooooo the big takeaway here is PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT SHOULD ENGAGE.]

... we have some of the lowest property taxes in Canada and some of the highest per capita police spending in Canada. MAKE THAT MAKE SENSE TO ME. #yyj #yyjpoli

So short-sighted. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Special Committee of the Whole Council meeting kicks off, continuing budget 2026 deliberations. Mayor Alto convenes us and starts with a land acknowledgment.

Participated on a wonderful panel at #housingcentral about #housing policy as it relates to non market development. We had as many laughs as serious commentary. The session was packed. As I prepared, I forced myself to look at BC’s housing trajectory from 10K feet. What I saw🧵

Securus is owned by Platinum Equity which is owned by Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores. Facing blowback in 2021, Gores said PE was a 'change agent' and that private companies shouldn't be in the prison business. Less than 2 years later Securus started this AI program.

Downzoning was used by cities around the world to preserve neighborhood aesthetics & protect property values. New evidence from Chicago in @findingspress.org ⏬ shows downzoning's effects over several decades: —Massive drop in housing construction —Higher home prices —Increased racial segregation

Cole capturing a rare circumzenithal arc over Pitt Meadows BC today. The optical phenomenon often called an "upside-down rainbow.” It’s formed by sunlight refracting thru horizontally aligned ice crystals in high-altitude cirrus and is most visible when the sun is relatively low in the sky. #BCwx

"When its team first began releasing marmots to the wild in 2003, there were just 22 remaining, and its statement says there was a lot of doubt that the species could be saved." !!!

No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop

Please share this: my friend Marv's sister has been missing for 72 hours. She lives in Kamloops, but police think she may be in Surrey (based on device pings, but she left her usual phone at home). Details about her vehicle are in the linked story.

Tour de force of investigative journalism here. Globe obtained evidence and made connections that Judge Wyant did not. Also, Globe confirmed former Edmonton Police Chief Dale McFee was guest of Sam Mraiche at Oilers game. EPS failed to be forthright with me when I raised this in a previous story. 1

"Four dead grizzly bears was an intense collision." "... two wolverines, two grizzly bears and as many as 50 moose had been killed along 60 km of track." Important piece by @thenarwhal.ca on our incorrigible, impunible railroad companies. #bcpoli projects.thenarwhal.ca/collision-co...

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI

If I was in Vic today it would be @russellbooks.bsky.social ✨

“The communications could help prove what’s known as “willful” infringement, which triggers significantly higher damages of $150,000 per work.“

This is my sister, Sheri-Lynn Bissonnette. If you know anything at all, please contact me here or the RCMP. This is extremely out of character and everyone is worried sick. cfjctoday.com/2025/11/27/k... #kamloops #missing

This gets at the fundamentally flawed approach of the federal government: they are trying to find a policy solution to an identity problem. It is part of the polarized, populist identity to be opposed to an Ottawa and Liberal Canada are not them. No policy will change that, as TMX revealed.

"My illegal occupation has made the locals angry, and then I shot the locals, and now the locals are angrier, and now I will expand my illegal occupation, and for some reason they're even angrier!"

Surprise! The “peace plan” is really just a plan for Trump, Witkoff, Don Junior and their friends to get rich. Everything is a grift. (And the Hunter hunters are silent) www.wsj.com/world/russia...

new worst sentence in the history of the English language just dropped.

Isn't it refreshing when someone actually does nuance and detail? H/t @andyverity.bsky.social at the BBC!

Thread on what I've seen as a journalist for @thetyee.ca this week at DULF's constitutional challenge. They're arguing closing their compassion club put marginalized people at risk of overdose and death. Explainer article coming early next week.

“prominent separatist supporter Jeff Rath received a standing ovation from the packed crowd when he asked how many of them support independence. Smith, who countered by saying she supports a sovereign Alberta within a united Canada, was roundly booed by delegates still standing from the ovation”

So it wasn’t about the drugs, then? It was just about killing people? Pete Hegseth needs to be tried in The Hague. That’s more than these people got.

Giving Alberta an exemption to the Clean Electricity Standard means the policy is DOA. There’s no way SK isn’t asking for the same thing, as they restart coal plants. One Canadian economy? Nope. Likely scenario is no electricity regs at all, meaning we’re back to Harper-era policy.

Sorry did I say six months? I meant 33 minutes

I will believe in the end of identity politics when steel and lumber (28,000 jobs and 105,000 jobs respectively) stop getting bailouts, while higher education (310,000 jobs) collapses in front of our eyes because it's full of ivory tower elites

Meanwhile green energy projects collapsed. "Clean energy projects cancelled since the start of Alberta's renewables moratorium could have generated more than Alberta's average total power demand (109 per cent)," www.pembina.org/media-releas...

Helpful environmental policy context for the MOU.

Another night to sleep on this and I'm solidifying this take There is a reason industry/govt sees a bit win in trading the regulations that would have forced real emissions reductions (oil and gas cap and CER) for vauge future carbon pricing promises that some are claiming will achieve the same 1/

If an armed conflict existed, these acts would constitute war crimes. Given that no armed conflict exists, the killings fall outside LOAC and require evaluation under domestic criminal law. Based on the reporting, the conduct matches the elements of murder. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

god i cant wait for the fossil fuel era to end. even if it's because we're all sitting around in the ashes. monkey's paw whatever idc. im so over this.

Danielle Smith uses notwithstanding clause to declare herself premier of B.C.

Not the peak oil we expected but I'll take it

This is huge. On the same day Canada announces a new tarsands pipeline and a roll back of climate policy UK announces no new oil and gas licences and a fossil fuel phase out plan. Congratulations and thank you to the UK for your leadership. And Canada?! PM Mark Carney, embarrassing. #cdnpoli
