The new #EATLancet report on healthy and sustainable diets seems more honest than the last one; it generally recommends plant-forward diets, which is good, but it also recognizes that beef is way worse for the planet (and probably your health) than poultry or pork. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Important to remember that stories about children killed by vaccine-preventable diseases when they're too young to be vaccinated are, beneath that, stories about the loss of herd immunity. This baby caught whooping cough from somebody. That somebody was probably old enough to be vaccinated.

I don't want to shock anyone, but I don't think that removing the bike lanes is going to improve congestion. The provincial government is putting people at risk for a few parking spots in midtown Toronto.

Ah, okay. This was never about traffic congestion: this is all so some Friends of Doug can park on the street just in front of the buildings they own.

The new EAT-Lancet report is out and I wrote about it -- and also what I saw at Climate Week NYC: An environmental movement still cozying up to Big Meat, and still unafraid to confront scientific consensus on food, agriculture, and livestock.

Let me remind you what a weird populist conservative politician sounds like. They will not reject a debunked conspiracy theory if their constituents believe it. This is part of the problem with the far-right, they nurture "popular" disinformation instead of stamp it out. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"If we can't build with the collaboration of the federal government and between provinces, and everybody gets to have their products going to market except Alberta, than it's not a country." - Danielle Smith, after the feds built TMX to the tune of $34 billion to get oil to market.

The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%. E-bikes support fewer car trips. V @lloydalter.bsky.social

so no private entity, as has been been promised by DS for months. This is insane. public money shouldn't be building infrastructure for oil and gas companies. They're rich enough (and smart enough) to do their own investing in worthwhile projects.

I don’t recall this in PM @mark-carney.bsky.social ‬⁩ ‘s pitch when we were told only he could protect Canada against Trump. Retail access for American dairy is a mistake. It sends more of a message in Canada, than it does w/ Trump. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/eco...

Of course

I used to pretend the ‘big three’ were NORTH American carmakers, but they have clearly always been USA automakers, an enemy of Canada. Since the economic warfare waged on us by the USA I find their ridiculously oversized pickup trucks scream MAGA. Time to buy from our allies in Europe and Asia.

There should be no public acceptance of elected officials calling on violence against children in this fashion. This is not the USA. Canada is signatory to the UN Rights of Children. It is illegal to beat your kids here. Bruce McAllister should resign in shame. #abpoli #cdnpoli

Exactly. Your tofu is not driving deforestation in the Amazon. If anything, eating more soy products directly (and eating fewer animals that eat soy as feed) would *reduce* overall demand for soybeans and pressure on tropical forests.
