1/ Cuba is out of fuel, strangled by the US fuel chokehold. People are dying, systems are breaking down. This is collective punishment against a people who have done absolutely nothing except live their lives under hard conditions imposed by the US blockade for decades.

why did the Canadian crown corp originally mandated to build out clean energy recently hire an LNG lobbyist from Texas to advise them on Ksi Lisims LNG? and is the deal between Germany and Western LNG, the American company behind Ksi Lisims, ACTUALLY so monumental? WATCH youtube.com/shorts/Q2HB0...

Data centres are a solution for the US oil and gas industry's "we're out of oil and we have too much gas" problem, especially now that the Iran shock is destroying the growth prospects of their other solution, LNG exports

JFC new IEA report shows: orders for fossil methane plants for data centres are bigger in the US than they for *any other country for any other reason* (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) "if data centres were a country, they would be the second-largest destination for gas turbines ordered from Q1 2025 to Q1 2026"

Energy Minister Tim Hodgson announced the proposed #KsiLisimsLNG project had signed an agreement to export #LNG to Germany, the project's first sales agreement secured in 2 years and Canada's first to Europe. But it isn't actually a sales agreement, it's a non-binding Heads of Agreement 1/

The climate reporters at The New York Times called Pielke Jr a scientist today. I am so, so tired.

So the New York Times has, uh, a take on the whole RCP8.5 thing

What company is poised to benefit the most from Canada's AI buildout which Carney is allowing, encouraging and funding? Brookfield! They really have no shame.

What the US is doing to Cuba is more than a humanitarian crisis. It is a genocide as defined by the United Nations. www.un.org/en/genocide-...

one interesting thing so far about loudly hating AI is the way AI lovers are like "wow so you're just totally closed off to hearing another perspective??" as if their perspective hasn't been relentlessly pushed down our throats with no space to push back (particularly in professional settings)

The Pentagon is buying “unprecedented” ownership stakes in Canadian mining companies. Nessie Nankivell tracks how Canada’s critical minerals are being extracted to build weapons for the U.S. military—all while the Canadian government is helping fund these projects. breachmedia.ca/elbows-up-ca...

Satellite data shows oil spills from shipping happen far more often than reported, revealing high-density 'slick belts' that correspond with shipping lanes. Most spills are not investigated. The cost of cleaning up oil pollution is often paid by coastal communities. share.google/zjELnkfcKMpZ...

US is taking unprecedented measures to secure ownership over Canadian mines on Indigenous lands. Over just two years, Pentagon invested over $78 million USD in companies operating mining projects in Canada in order to suit U.S. military needs. breachmedia.ca/elbows-up-ca...

A NEW TWIST in Africa's soaring solar story: It's now manufacturing its own panels. The factories use imported Chinese cells, which are 40% of the value of panels, keeping much of the value domestically. 9 GW of cells+wafers in Mar/Apr alone🧵

Under two different presidents from two different parties, Israel has been intentionally assassinating and killing not just Palestinians, Arabs, and Iranians but also those with American citizenship. Abu Akleh, Asad, Ozturk, Musallet, and the names keep piling up. Does anyone in DC care?

I know the Atlantic has less than zero standards and in fact is happy to have a professional racist and liar on its columnist list but I dare to suggest that maybe there should be some consequences for so obviously making up shit and for sectarian and racist reasons?

Yet another reason to move the UN out of the United States. We should offer to host them in Canada after all, if we can spend a billion dollars on a soccer tournament we can host the UN.

This is Bear, Australia's most famous koala detection dog. After a decade of service, he's retiring. He's located hundreds of injured or displaced koalas after forest fires. We're told his retirement will be filled with rest, cuddles, and maybe a little mischief. 15/10

A reminder that over a year ago David Frum went on a months long tantrum about how Canadian colonization was actually good for the First Peoples and how it's reverse racism to say that that the forced Christian schooling was genocide. I made fun of him for this and he blocked me on 3 different apps.

The BC NDP are renaming the Site C dam after John Horgan. You mean this John Horgan? #bcpoli

Thanks to FOI requests from @thetyee.ca reporter @amandafollett.bsky.social we know that RCMP-CRU is monitoring Treaty negotiations and climate advocates, and sharing that information with various Provincial Ministries. So today in Question Period we asked what info they're sharing, and why #bcpoli

Cuba Has a Rich History of International Solidarity. US Wants to Extinguish It. https://truthout.org/articles/cuba-has-a-rich-history-of-international-solidarity-us-wants-to-extinguish-it/

Breaking and revealed: Canada Infrastructure Bank has been repurposed to fund risky LNG project Ksi Lisims, risking the bank's positive reputation. The wholly-owned US project is seeking taxpayer funds to move towards a final investment decision and construction. Thread 🧵 #cdnpoli #greensky

I'm sorry, this is the @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social's billion dollar plan to reduce domestic energy consumption? It's 2026, give the people heat pumps for god's sake news.gov.bc.ca/releases/202...

Agree with all of this, but also, if we're launching a billion dollar campaign to reduce electricity consumption to free up power for new industrial users...the industrial users should pay for it. They should be buying everyone heat pumps, replacing windows, etc. This has potential to be win-win 1/

People who think Ben Gvir is the exception rather than the norm when he is literally a minister of government are just as delusional as a child

Look who is working to sell surveillance to Canadians. To hell with the Carney Conservatives and the media enabling their undermining of democracy. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Worth paying attention to the evolution of climate denial Carney is innovating here. First wave: deny climate change is real Second wave: admit it’s real, but downplay its significance or ability to address it Third wave: reframe fossil fuels as a climate solution

It is the official position of the current government of 🇮🇱 that some 🇺🇸 Jews are not really Jews & that non-Orthodox Jews don’t deserve equal access to the Kotel & that certain 🇺🇸 Jewish organizations are a “cancer” within the Jewish community. Again, it all boggles the mind: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

I know he called it a "sovereign wealth fund," and it's a little more dressed up—the money will go to his friends in finance who own fossil fuel companies and are investing in oil + gas infra, not to election deniers—but Mark Carney is basically doing the same thing.

At least six oil and gas companies kicked in $1m each to a fund operated by Australian Energy Producers (AEP) to fight a proposal for a new gas tax. The Prime Minister flew across the country to tell the resources sector in person it was dead. Here's me in @deepcutnews.bsky.social looking at why.

Enforcing fuel shortages that cripple hospitals and basic services systematically denies the Cuban population human rights.

This is how the blockade on Cuba works in practice. Not just punishing Cuba directly — but intimidating shipping companies, banks, and foreign businesses into cutting ties with the island out of fear of US sanctions or lawsuits.

The criminalization of activism is not always as simple as an arrest at a protest. I obtained video footage that shows what really happened when a cop accused Nick Tilsen of attempting to run him over. 1/ drilled.media/news/tilsen for @drilledmedia.bsky.social

Cuba has experienced doctors who have volunteered to fight ebola outbreaks before. They've sent doctors all over the world, for decades. Problem is, the criminal USA is threatening every country that accepts their medical missions, cutting off medical care and impt source of currency for Cuba.

Washington Post in 1979: U.S. State Dept. found Israeli "abuse during interrogation of arrested Palestinians," including "refrigeration, use of electricity, hanging by the hands or feet, extreme forms of sexual sadism, interrogation accompanied by starvation, enforced sleeplessness"

"In recent months, many people across Latin America and the Caribbean have suddenly found themselves without healthcare, as nearly a dozen countries acquiesce to pressure from the US to end medical agreements with the Cuban government." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

"Heat pumps just shift gas burning to the power station." Wrong. Even if 100% of electricity came from gas, a heat pump at SCOP 3.8 uses 51% less gas than a boiler. At a terrible SCOP 2.5, still 25% less. David MacKay made this point in 2008. The maths hasn't changed.

Almost 200 former senior Canadian diplomats are calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to impose “robust” sanctions on Israel over deteriorating conditions in the Palestinian territories (which Canada recognizes as sovereign Palestine) and Lebanon.
