@chris I don’t like this story. The problem is the agricultural pollution not Bezos. It’s easy to blame Bezos (is he even still in charge?) because he’s a dick.

tweaked the back last night. Still sore this morning, so some heat is to be applied to the area. #pandemicbath to the rescue. The view is a little foggy both inside and out. #dasherlife #backpain #diy

@chris Saab will also allow their fighters to be built in Canada under licence.

@chris The best reason IMO to go with Saab: "Mélanie Joly, Canada’s foreign minister, wants Canada to own the IP for big-ticket purchases whenever possible.... Canada shouldn’t need to seek the permission of a foreign capital such as Washington to upgrade its fighter jets." So it makes sense […]

Hard not to see the wisdom, in the long term, of diversifying Canada’s manufacturing and defence processes. In the short term though, imagine the hissy fit #theamericanfascist will have if Carney signs up with Saab instead of more Lockheed. It would be an act of sovereignty. #canpoli #cdnpoli […]

@chris This is what I wrote someone by text earlier today: “The different layers of fuckups 1. Minor: No one talks about it. 2. Medium: You make the news 3. Major: The Beaverton posts about it 4. Critical: The Beaverton posts non-stop about it”

so close to that moment…. #tgif #fiif

Beaverton is hitting it out of the park today. "“This is a matter for the courts, probably,” Carney said. “It’s not my place to get involved in interprovincial issues. Unless the extraction industry asks me to. Wait, have they asked? No? Not yet? Okay, then let the courts handle it until then […]

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

@chris He ruined our already poor reputation in… 6 months (I exclude vacation time). I know only two active national politicians capable of doing a worse job than this!

If you want to see what is possibly the most dangerous “maritime cross roads” in Canada in terms of weather, geography, traffic, environmental impact, and all the rest: I have annotated a map near Gill Island. We don’t know the pipe route. If it’s Kitimat rather than Rupert because a route […]

"Oléoduc" is the best word I have ever seen for oil pipeline! Also... oily Canada reputation spreading far and wide. #canpoli #cdnpoli #bitumen #oil #climatechange #abpoli #france https://mastodon.social/@lemonde/115625149716863385

the more I hear Liberal MPs and others justifying the MOU, it is just.... infuriating. The oil and gas and nuclear focused messaging and greenwashing is at extreme levels. This Liberal Canadian government is the worst environmental government since […] [Original post on mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

Doing open web is hard. #autocade actually began as a wiki. Basically it was hit by spammers constantly, setting up fake accounts and adding their crap. I spent a lot of time deleting and monitoring. Of the 5,500-plus entries, one was sent to me by a nice person in India, 30 or so were written […]

Btw, if Carney is going to put it on BC and First Nations to stop a pipeline he doesn't actually want, he's *worse* at politics (and a worse person) than we thought.

between oil pipelines and laws controlling "religious acts”... Canada is really hitting it out of the park on progressivism on the BBC today. #canpoli #cdnpoli #bbc

Leader of the BC Greens @emilylowan has some choice words. "This pipeline will never happen, and we'll make f*ing sure of it” 👍👍 #canpoli #cdnpoli #bcpoli #greens #gpc #endfossilfuels #climatechange #climateemergency https://mastodon.social/@emilylowan/115623697970750137

Respect. Guilbeault isn't perfect and had to go along with a lot of things, like TMX under Trudeau. But it is clear there were tradeoffs... I am willing to bet a northern pipeline and tanker ban was one of those tradeoffs for agreeing to buy TMX. He […] [Original post on mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@chris "Also... YOU CAN'T DECARBONIZE OIL. " Yes you can ! and it is quite easy. You add a spark or a match to oil and it will be decarbonized quickly. (the carbon divorces the old oil and gets married to the cuter, younger O2 and lives happily ever after as CO2 😉 Note: the Sabatier process is […]

This is so damning. The top of the CBC story (JP Tasker reporting) “Smith said she got Carney to back down on most of the Trudeau-era "nine bad laws," as she calls them, that restricted oil and gas development in Alberta. Carney, meanwhile, says he got Alberta to buy into the Pathways carbon […]

@chris what a shit show

May this haunt Mark Carney for his entire tenure as Prime Minister as #TMX did for Trudeau. Our federal Liberal and Conservative revolving door governments are simply incapable of extricating themselves from oil… Canada will continue to literally burn […] [Original post on mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

Waiting for the announcment and press conference, the CBC live blog has this nugget: "Alberta's deficit was initially $1.3B in the February budget, then grew to $6.5B by summer and has likely swelled even further with weak oil and natural gas prices." Is there an Albertan leader of any party […]

I'll reserve full judgement for when the actual agreement is public... but here's the hot-take on the 75% reduction in methane emissions in 10 years. Which emissions? And show me a target Canada has ever hit. Details. I want details, plans, concrete actions to make it happen. #canpoli […]

@sleepy62 @chris The same Guilbeault who didn't resign when his emperor ordered him to build a pipeline which he did? He got re-elected despite that so why would he resign now?

@chris "Concerns raised internally that ex-environment minister Steven Guilbeault could resign" Everyone with a Liberal MP needs to be flinging poo at them right now. Im sure Guilbeault is taking a lot of flak from his constituents. Any MP with an ounce of integrity should threatening go sit […]

@chris I hope they can stand their ground against bill C5.
