Rethinking Ontario’s Gas Use Pembina Institute comments and recommendations Submitted to Ontario’s Ministry of Energy and Electrification This report highlights the climate and financial risks associated with Ford and Lecce's push to increase reliance on natural gas. They are ideological fools.

I always find it off-putting for politicians to take photo-ops at food banks. It means they've failed and they should feel shame that food banks are increasingly in demand. #onpoli #cdnpoli

#AcademicSky Students PREFER using LLM/AI to notetaking... ... but experiment shows lower comprehension & retention It's like they say, you gotta put in the work to understand things better. No pain, no gain. Shortcuts are, well.... shortcuts. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Every single day there's another story of Doug Ford and his government's incompetence and Ontarians are paying the cost, figuratively and literally. #onpoli www.thestar.com/business/use...

“Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6km each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, annual carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes. This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.” @euronews.com

Ford government extends Ontario legislature’s Christmas break until late March Just unreal. Ford has stopped even pretending to run a government. It's all about hiding from the corruption. Last call for Ontario's opposition parties to get their acts together. #onpoli

From the article: The minister says he has not yet presented a plan to cabinet for approval, but he says definitively he will not close or amalgamate school boards, nor will he merge the public and Catholic systems, nor will he introduce charter schools. #onpoli #onted

I've been looking for an affordable, used EV. The Chevy Bolt is the best deal by a long shot but there aren't many of them. Lots of more expensive ones. Automakers made the choice to build expensive products and governments have allowed it.

“What’s disturbing about the scandal though, is how blatant it is. Political appointees are handing out hundreds of millions of dollars from a public slush fund to organizations that are either close to the government or that hire the right political insiders.” www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

They've had 5 months to "analyze" the results. I had my class results in June. EQAO results: Ontario education minister delays release share.google/kuYoidpBmc5Z...

Any further centralization of #onted to the province will result in a less effective system. The Trustee system should be modernized, but the government is doing this the wrong way. #onpoli

Waterloo Regional Council approves extending light rail transit to Cambridge

She's right. It's crazy what he's been able to get away with.

Between "strong" mayors and this provincial government, Ontario is needing a "No Tyrants, No Kings" moment of its own.

Ford has been on a conservation authority hunt for six years. It’s wonky enough that Ontario won’t care (because they seem to care about … not much when it comes to this govt) but profound negative impact. On and on.

Ultimately, the Lib's approach to tackling the climate crisis remains almost entirely rooted in two key policies – carbon pricing and tax credits. It won't work. We can't incentivize our way to victory on this fight of our lives. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/04/n...

Was just thinking about how awesome the internet was before ads.

"If d’Entremont crosses the aisle and two additional Conservative MPs join the Liberals, Carney’s majority would be secured. d’Entremont said the Liberals have been courting other Conservatives who view themselves as centrists but wouldn’t disclose who."

The world's 10 richest people (nearly all from the U.S.) are collectively $500 billion richer this year thanks to growth in stocks tied to AI. Meanwhile, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and electricity. AI is making the rich even richer while everyone else pays the price.

Those Ring of Fire ads during World Series broadcasts might have you thinking mines are up and running in the remote region in northern Ontario, but that's not the case and the Ford government should be upfront about it, writes @elaineanselmi.bsky.social thenarwhal.ca/opinion-blue...

For me the idea of "sacrifice" is only acceptable if corporations and the top 1% are leading the way. Also - no more subsidies to oil and gas.

The Toronto Blue Jays are currently facing the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. But this isn't the first time a Canadian team has met the Dodgers in the playoffs. Back in 1981, the Montreal Expos took on the Dodgers in the NLCS. This is the story. 🧵 1/10

Carney and Solomon both have just guzzled the hype from digital asbestos grifters, and it's going to cost us so much money in the end.

Using the notwithstanding clause to stop legal challenge to back-to-work legislation is a nuclear event for all unions. Will it lead to a general strike in Alberta? It certainly should lead to the Supreme Court establishing Constitutional limits to the clause, or else we have no rights and freedoms.

Bike mechanics want the government to recognize the job as a distinct profession and skilled trade. Right now, they're officially grouped with workers who repair accordions, jukeboxes and the safety valves on pipelines. pressprogress.ca/bike-mechani...

We made it onto CBC's The National tonight. $21 B for 4 US SMRs that will require US fuel - or... "We've got much wind and solar, battery storage, energy efficiency. All much much lower cost. And they're much quicker." #cdnpoli #onpoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB1U...

"Nearly two-thirds (63%) of the $345 million in funds that Ontario Labour Minister David Piccini’s office chose to give out through the fifth round of the Skills Development Fund (SDF) went to these PC donor-led organizations, according to a Trillium analysis." #OnPoli

omg 👀 This both humiliating and terrifying.

AI has already become so normalized that some students in my grade 10 introductory computer programming class try to use it without having any idea how the generated code works. I'm sure this is happening in industry, and it's what concerns me the most.

Poilievre is getting increasingly deranged. I haven't always likes comparisons between the CPC and MAGA, but their explicitly-stated desires in the past year to politicize judicial appointments and the national police force should deeply disturb us all.

I think AI is 10% good and 90% waste/bad but with Lake Huron and the St. Clair River, Sarnia and Lambton County has cool water to support data centres. Now, if locals would come around to accepting renewables (wind + battery storage) it might be an attractive location. www.cbc.ca/news/ai-data...

Convince me why the anthems need to be part of the pre-game ceremonies.

Energy prices in Ontario are going up by about 13% and rebates are going up by about 10%. Electricity is more expensive now than when Doug took office and his main promise was to lower electricity prices. Instead he's increasing the deficit to bribe us with our own taxes #ontario #onpoli #dougford

Alas, the baby Raptors can't pull out another miracle. Tillman's jumper with 1 second left gives Boston the win and the Raps fall to 3-2 in preseason with one more exhibition game to go (Friday at home vs Brooklyn) before the regular season tips off a week from today.

I just was thinking this before while walking. The average American makes $77k. The old rule was the car you could afford is 1/5th your yearly salary. So that would be: $15,500. And yet all these yokels are financing $65k pickups to drive to and from work. It’s going to collapse
