This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Can you imagine where Canada’s economy would be under a PM Poilievre?
Hint: Look at all the countries with right wing govts.
Look at how Canada did under Harper (double hint: 2008/2009 recession)
Look at how Canada did under Mulroney (triple hint 1990 recession).

Former PBO on Canada's fiscal situation: "If you look at the numbers right now, a baseline deficit of a little over 2%, that's a third of what it is in the US and UK, and it's well below the OECD average. If you look at our debt-to-GDP ratio, it will be the lowest of the G7. ... We're sustainable."

A Tuna fishing boat. What a fucking joke.
US Coast Guard operating from a Navy ship boarded Venezuelan fishing boat with guns drawn and held the men hostage in waters within Venezuela's Exclusive Economic Zone for eight hours — releasing them after ransacking the boat and finding no drugs.
