I'm more likely to die in a heat dome than to see any personal tangible benefits from expanding Canada's fossil fuel production. Even if I thought I'd see personal benefits, I'd still argue we shouldn't do it, because I understand that the planet and the future of our species are not mine to trash.

A pipeline funded by…. you. This is a government pipeline with a mere 10% stake from private investment. And jobs? Last year 10k Albertan oil workers were laid off as production skyrocketed. Call it what it is — a handout for the dying fossil fuel industry.

#Gaza: On June 30, MSF teams at our emergency department in Khan Younis, treated six people wounded following an Israeli airstrike. Our teams stabilized the patients before referring those requiring further treatment to Nasser hospital.

Today's NYT jobs report coverage (left) compared to exactly 2 years ago under Biden (right). Notice the numbers.

Ok sure, but now do it for retirees that use healthcare in a province where they never pay taxes.

Couldn't sleep last night because it was too hot outside so instead I ruminated on the 63 billion dollars we've allocated for defence spending www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

In case you actually believe Trump's claim that he doesn't talk to the people who manage his investments...

If there was any doubt that Gov Jared Polis’ legacy is freeing Tina Peters, the NYT reports Polis just fired the clemency board members who revealed he overruled their unanimous wishes www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

Gov. Jared Polis passed over other deserving inmates to give clemency to Tina Peters, according to two members of his clemency board who revealed Polis overruled the unanimous recommendation of his experts. Polis has now fired both of them.

we must accept more extreme weather and more deadly natural disasters to achieve a few tenths of a percentage point of additional gdp growth in the short term 🥰

Canada Day extreme weather brought to you by climate change, which Carney announced yesterday we can’t afford to properly fight 🤗

Very thankful for this letter to Becky Pepper-Jackson (the 16 year-old trans girl SCOTUS ruled against yesterday) from James Dale, a gay man whose expulsion from the Boy Scouts was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2000.

This is a real Trumpian move. Gov. Jared Polis fired two members of his clemency board after they spoke out against his decision to commute the prison sentence of election denier Tina Peters. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

As a former professional athlete, this is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. Your kid has a less than 1% chance of getting an athletic college scholarship. You’re better off putting the money into a 529 plan.

Here is a screenshot of the last time ICE published data on deportations from detention. The data shows 234,236 ICE removals from October 1, 2025 through April 4, 2026. ICE has stopped publishing this data entirely, so we have nothing more recent. But there's NO WAY the average rose by 150%.

it’s long past time lawmakers addressed how companies have taken the switch to digital to redefine purchases as licensing rather than ownership. it’s most egregious when it comes to libraries, but it’s harmful to everyone.

NEW: Most Supreme Court Rulings Are Secretive Votes With Little Justification ProPublica conducted a new analysis that shows the court is deciding more consequential rulings than ever before in largely unsigned orders with little to no explanation.

Because of Trump’s OBBBA, starting today all borrowers with a SAVE plan will have 90 days to transition to a new plan. If you do not manually switch to a new plan, you will be auto-enrolled into one, which may result in higher payments. Learn more at studentaid.gov/repayment-calculator/

Must read. Lots of chat about the USA openly denying entry to a Somali referee, but Canada is probably just as bad with their low percentage visa approvals. World Cup has become an event for those with a privileged passport and stacks of cash.

False, polling repeatedly showed Canadians AND Albertans wanted stronger climate policies: 69% across Canada, 62% in Alberta, supported government regulations. Climate policy was weakened to make a few Musk worshiping broligarchs, & U.S. oil & gas interests, richer: www.dogwoodbc.ca/news/donald-...

Hunter Biden could never

Holy shit! This tour of the White House trail of destruction is painful to watch. Trump isn’t renovating anything. He’s taking a wrecking ball to history & sending us the bill. Based on what we’ve seen so far, this is going to be a shoddy build that will need to be redone sooner rather than later.

Rep. Tom Kean took leave to get help for depression. But as a member of Congress, due to voting for Medicaid work reqs, and as part of the New Jersey state leg, he hasn't made it easy for others to do the same. New w/ @hurwitz.bsky.social at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Renewables are perfectly capable of being a new energy solution for Canada, unfortunately we're stuck with you, who only seems capable of steering us back into the same dying solutions of the past, which, long-term, will ultimately prove to be another of the most horrible decisions in our history 🙄

Weird how this never applies to the Second Amendment.

This is what the entire video is intended to couch. It’s the only part that matters. “We can’t afford to restrain the growth of an important part of our energy mix, oil and gas, to meet a short term goal,” Carney said. “Our emissions will be higher in the next few years”

It's super fucked to call combatting climate change a "short-term goal" #CdnPoli

What a hot mess of America that I woke up to?

👀

See, people always want to make this just about "sports," but the real upshot here is that, 6-3, trans women can't make a claim under the Equal Protection Clause. And if they can't do that, it's hard to see how they have constitutional rights.

Once again, there is no gender equality without our trans community. There is no feminism without our trans community.

Reminder that thousands of female athletes across America are going to have their access to sports limited because of a witch hunt to solve a problem that doesn’t exist. xtramagazine.com/culture/olym...

I understand SCOTUS, know who they are, & by all rational accounts it feels so naive to say: "I can't believe 4 of 9 justices said the Constitution doesn't protect birthright citizenship." And yet, I can't believe 4 of 9 justices just said the Constitution doesn't protect birthright citizenship.

Im so exhausted by this pattern. Historians spend years in the archives to write detailed accounts of the past. Only for journalists, doctors, podcasters, and now cartoonists, to swoop in and get paid a lot of money to trot out the same work, "uncovering hidden histories" that are not at all hidden.

"Almost Homeless subreddit" jesus fucking christ everything sucks so much

Has Parks Canada considered building some condos nobody wants as a means of securing funding? Lots of land available in national parks!

People who can barely afford food or rent are stuck paying a trillionaires bills. Fuck that.

oh man www.nytimes.com/athletic/740...

Humankind might have had a chance to deal effectively with climate change but these numpties ruined it for us all.

eff has a solid write up of why you should not want this to pass. especially now. this thing would be a huge fucking gift to fascists.

last time something like this made it to senate (KOSA), it passed 91-3. no votes on that one were: wyden (D-OR): listened to at risk people about how it would harm them lee (R-UT): didn’t think it did enough to harm queers paul (R-KY): libertarian stuff you should call your senators: reps.fyi

Honestly, this NYC Pride Block Party has more people... (Btw, some clips of Robyn's Dancing on My Own live at her current tour had me head bobbing to this song last 24 hours. This is just another extension of playing that single on repeat.) www.instagram.com/reel/DaJbmr_...

If this were just Ketanji Brown Jackson walking the halls of the Capitol, meeting with “nobody” the day before final rulings, Trump and Republicans would be going ballistic.

Now that's a headline

““Some have asked if this means a transgender woman can join DAR or if this means that DAR chapters have previously welcomed transgender women,” Pamela Rouse Wright, President of the DAR, wrote in a newsletter on the bylaws. “The answer to both questions is, yes.””

Comparing this to any the pride celebration that took place in June.

But the threads are loosening. Beware voices that are actively trying to push us in this direction, including the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and the National Post.

An iPad inside Independence Hall tells visitors that a second floor room was used in the 1850s to hold individuals “accused of crimes of the period.” Originally, the screen read “accused fugitives of slavery.” @fallonroth.bsky.social and I discover more retelling of history by Trump’s admin. 🎁 🔗

I've been waiting for Tidal to figure out its position on AI-generated music. It finally has, and it's pretty good: -AI labeling -No using AI to impersonate real artists -AI music won't be monetized support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/art...

The corruption of the Supreme Court was the most consequential organ failure in American history
