The concept that Canadians don’t understand successive governments have taken our natural resources and sold them to private foreign companies…

Had anyone in a position of power during the Cuban Missile Crisis acted this stupidly, we’d all be dead. www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/the-stupid...

How come they keep spelling “open” wrong? Does that street look closed to you? Only if you’re a car… and presumably that’s the real problem. #UrbanTruth

"When you pick up free secondhand items, you not only save them from landfill – you reduce packaging waste and the greenhouse gas emissions associated with manufacturing new goods," said Adam Mueller, Operations Manager of Public Works & Solid Waste. More: www.kingstonist.com/news/find-ne...

Fun day talking to middle schoolers about why native plants are so important for insects and birds! #frontenarchbiosphere #mastergardeners

Many govts hope capturing carbon from power plants burning wood will cause "negative emissions." New Nature Sust. paper today finds this likely increases emissions for decades, generates no negative emissions within 150 years, and increase electricity costs ~3.5-fold. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Proof that public pressure works.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

I will never understand why we continuously double down on oil and gas when we have the tech and knowledge to shift to renewables. We could lead the world through a transition instead of down the garden path.

Frontenac County Council has formally voted to oppose the proposed high-speed rail routes that would pass through Frontenac County, preferring instead routes along existing rail lines or the 401 corridor. Details here: www.kingstonist.com/news/fronten...

How many more reasons do we need to keep it in the ground?

IMPORTANT: “$30 million an hour: big oil reaping huge war windfall from consumers, analysis finds. Climate action blockers [excellent term] including Saudi Arabia, Russia and major fossil fuel firms set to make extra $234bn by end of 2026.” Remember that when we’re pressured to drop tiny gas taxes.

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Looking forward to connecting with youth about the essential role that native plants play in our ecosystem! #ygk

“Basic income has been shown to reduce health care costs, including an 8.5% reduction in hospitalizations. As Dr. Danielle Martin [the newly elected Liberal MP in today’s by-election] has so pointedly said, “If we discovered a drug that reduced hospitalizations by 8.5%, we’d put it in the water.”

One last point: When governments talk about "age verification," they also mean "identity verification" So even if you're 55 years old, you will be virtually carded and all your social media activity will be linked to your identity. That means no online anonymity and raises privacy issues for adults

"With geopolitics in disarray, energy price chaos will keep happening. Continued dependence on fossil fuels would leave countries forever lurching from crisis to crisis."

Carney is being asked whether *any* politician is welcome in the Liberal caucus and he’s basically saying yes. There’s no line in the sand — as long as they tell *him* they support Liberal values, they’re welcome to the Liberal Party to grow his majority power. Yikes.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif yesterday: “The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.” Israel:

“The term ‘third place’ was coined by sociologist Ray Oldenburg in his book The Great Good Place, which explored the role of places like cafes, parks, & libraries in societies. He argued such places were not only important for mental health, but were essential to democracy & a sense of community.”
