Cool. So do it. And stop the Orwellian pushing of fossil fuels as the key to our future.

“Car bloat”—increasingly oversized automobiles—worsens road safety, affordability and the environment. Here are some of the stories I wrote in 2025 examining the trend and proposing solutions. 🧵 In @vox.com, I likened car bloat to secondhand smoke (which helped bring down the US tobacco industry).

Sub humans? Is America really NAZI Germany now? BREAKING: The US military has just released video of them launching strikes on ISIS terrorists who’re kiIIing Christians in Nigeria It’ll get much, MUCH worse for these subhuman pieces of crap if they don’t stop the kiIIing.

FIFA “peace prize” winner finds a country (that didn’t qualify for World Cup finals) to bomb on Christmas Day.

"If Canada could ever truly consider itself a climate leader that claim was burnt to the ground with Prime Minister #MarkCarney 's recent federal budget dismantling much of the country’s existing climate policy framework, the disastrous #MOU with Alberta & damned near invisibility at #COP30" #abpoli

When I teaching the Holocaust I note the Holocaust museum’s definition of a concentration camp is a prison whose inmates are denied due process. These are by definition concentration camps.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Behold, the “Weiss effect” in all its incompetent glory.

(1/2) From CBC today: "Trump's trade representative has already laid out what he expects to see from Canada... changes to... laws that protect Canadian culture, which U.S. tech giants have strenuously opposed." Deeply concerning: the influence the tech sector already has in Canada. #CDNpoli #USpoli

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Wow! A striking stat from @nrdc.org’s new Issue with Tissue report: If every American swapped one TP roll with ♻️ we’d save: 🌲 1.6M trees 💧 1B+ gallons of water 🌍 800M lbs of climate pollution ~ Calculated with EPN’s Paper Calculator (new version 4.1 available now!) www.nrdc.org/stories/best...

Oh one more thing about fossil fuel; the whole idea that natural gas is so much greener/cleaner than coal is sort of true when you burn it, but so much methane is emitted when it's extracted, & methane is a potent greenhouse gas, that, well, it's not. And we've know that for a while.

Undermining climate progress and democracy the Carney way by @joanbaxter.bsky.social

With a backroom deal, Carney has bulldozed Canada’s remaining #climate policies and ignited a firestorm among #Indigenous communities across the country. It is a betrayal, for which future generations will pay. @richardbrooks.bsky.social at @stand.earth: ricochet.media/climate/the-... #Alberta

When Trump is gone, we will remember who said and did nothing when they had the power to do/say something.

Brandi Morin in Ecuador: A Canadian mining giant vs. the guardians of the Amazon: ricochet.media/indigenous/b...

“Standing up to Trump means standing up to these atrocious behaviours, and speaking firmly and clearly against the spread of Trump’s diseased, demented worldview.” Carney said he would take on Trump with his elbows up. Canadians elected him. We’re waiting ..: and hoping.

It sure would be nice if the Premier of Alberta would call out this treasonous behaviour by one of her own party members for what it is.

Critics take aim at PM Carney’s choice of New Brunswick tungsten mine for ‘major projects’ list reported by @joanbaxter.bsky.social www.halifaxexaminer.ca/economy/natu...

A recent study concludes that the uninhibited pumping of groundwater by farmers, cities and corporations around the world now accounts for 68% of the total loss of fresh water at the latitudes where most people live. (Published July 2025)

Ecuador has been ordered to pay Chevron $220 million—despite the oil giant’s legacy of toxic pollution in the Amazon.

Wonder which “enemy” NS Premier Tim Houston wants to “Defend Nova Scotia” from now? Next stage, a NS Department of War?

Jesus Christ. This dude is such an irresponsible hack. You can’t just say shit like this about people!

this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

Premier Tim Houston to be a free man in Paris Commentary by @dartjenhen.bsky.social

“We should worry less about the potential dangers of electrified vehicles & more about the growing prevalence of SUVs … Whether electric or conventionally powered…larger, heavier vehicles not only pose greater safety risks, they also take up more road space & emit more carbon over their lifecycle.”

Breaking news: John Bragg’s Tidnish Holdings offers top bid for 427,000 acres of Northern Pulp woodlands By @joanbaxter.bsky.social

This piece really pisses me off, because I was one of the several thousand climate and environment people who actively protested to defend the exact Australian renewable subsidy policies that people like Fawcett are now somehow claiming we're viciously opposed to No: we had to fight to defend them

More than half of Toronto drivers in a Universtiy of Toronto study didn't look for people walking or on bikes before turning right. Study used eye-tracking tech. Increasingly deadly vehicles, dumb laws, and irresponsible driving equal people being injured and killed. www.utoronto.ca/news/more-ha...

As a service to Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston who claims he doesn’t know why he has incurred First Nations’ wrath, here is a quick and free reminder: www.halifaxexaminer.ca/dismantling-...

CDN LNG will not replace coal, because coal's being replaced by renewables not LNG (and no it is not needed to fill a gap): www.sierraclub.ca/lng-national... The vague reasoning of tonight's #Power&Politics guest is telling. @davidwcochrane.bsky.social I can recommend other researchers.

Companies are calling northern Nova Scotia a natural underground ‘hydrogen district,’ igniting a ‘major staking rush’ for exploration licences. They’re drilling 2,500 m deep boreholes. What regulations are they following? Who’s regulating? Waiting for answers. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/economy/natu...

PM Carney subsidizes Big Oil to pump carbon to increase production. He walks back greenwashing rules allowing Big Oil to lie. He cuts a deal on planet killing methane. Now his team is walking. The CEO isn't smartest guy in the room when it comes to a burning planet. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
