There is such a strong economic case for renewables it serves to demonstrate how degenerate politics - and certain political ideologies - have become.

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”

🇨🇦 The challenge for pro-Canada voices in the referendum is to not just be defenders of the status-quo. We’re living in a time when many voters increasingly believe the status quo is making life more difficult. We should aim to not just improve Alberta within Canada but improve Canada as a whole.

Absolutely spot on analysis of shambolic and weak response from @davidebybc.bsky.social in regards to DRIPA from @thetyee.ca. David, step up and be a leader here. You failed BCans with your kneejerk responses, your duty of care is to resolve this thoughtfully and with care pca.st/episode/69e1...

I traveled to 🇺🇸 for work this week, the first time in many years now since I'd completely discounted personal travel. 1) Am ever so grateful that the border controls to there are on our side.l, when flying. They can refuse me entry but not send me to a concentration camp

Loving the wall that separates you from the world yet 🇺🇸?

I think the Canadian federation will be unable to survive if we decide that federal-provincial politics will be conducted by governments walking around sticking shotguns in their mouths.

Traitorous bitch trying her best to please her maple MAGA base. The best thing about this is how everyone can see this falling from 1000 kms off. Why fucking bother, losers

Well this is bullshit www.theregister.com/ai-ml/2026/0...

In just months, Zohran Mamdani has shown what politics looks like when leaders actually try governing for ordinary people instead of donors and cable news panels. Affordable housing, childcare, transit, workers’ dignity and immigrant protection are not “radical” ideas.

“Nearly 50,000 Lake Tahoe residents are being told to find a new power provider because the grid is being re-routed to A.I. data centers.”

It's unacceptable that the 🇨🇦 government is proposing a bill (C-22) that would see Signal and NordVPN exit the country. The concerns this raises are serious and deserve the attention of Canadians. @mark-carney.bsky.social you need to change course on this globalnews.ca/news/1185136...

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social

Oh god the discussion in Vancouver is going to be so stupid from all sides. “11 AI agents” is meaningless as a phrase. If I said “I have 11 spreadsheets” or “I have 11 browser tabs” to do my work, it means about the same thing.

The law is the law Donbas Smith, whether 1 or 300k people don't like it doesn't change that. Democracy is served by respecting the rule of law so don't think for a minute you are on the right side here.

This better be more than a fig leaf and for the tradeoffs you're forcing on our collective futures it had better be visionary and significant @mark-carney.bsky.social

He’s describing what US vehicles are doing right now. Congress refuses to ban it because the US government is actively buying that data. Americans don’t give a shit about the Chinese tracking their cars.

I wasn't aware you could just "reject" legal conclusions by a court. What is this America? Not so fast my dear quisling.

BREAKING: Athabasca Chipewyan FN & Blood Tribe say they've won their court challenge of the Alberta separation referendum. The Chief Electoral Officer’s decision to issue a citizen initiative petition on independence has been quashed.

Facts: Cdn taxpayers bought pipeline boosting price for AB crude! Oilsands are among world’s most expensive & carbon-intensive barrels. If sector can’t compete after massive public subsidies, problem isn’t climate policy. Global capital is moving to clean energy because that’s where growth is!

You have got to love Rod Stewart. “You put that little ratbag in his place” No one has to guess who he is talking about? #UK

Fact: @Carbontracker.bsky.social 2025 report found that over 30% of Canada’s oil and gas sector value at risk of becoming stranded due to a fast-paced energy transition, threatening to wipe out 80% of provincial government revenues from the sector by the 2030s. carbontracker.org/canadas-oil-...
