VA pauses billions in cuts lauded by Musk
The cuts would affect everything from cancer care to the ability to assess toxic exposure.

Voting matters!!!
Ontario needs to vote!
Ontario needs to vote!
My introduction to strategic voting was in the 1993 federal election. I voted for the person most likely to win against the Reform Party, a Liberal, even though my heart was with the NDP. The candidate I voted for, Anne McLelland, won by 1 vote (later, on recount, 12).

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus:
This kind of dismissive, idiotic behavior? I mean, he’s a juvenile.
And I invite Donald Trump to come up anytime in the winter. Donald, try to drive our roads. Try to win an argument with any woman in Canada. We’re pretty tough and resilient people.

We have always relied on the oil and gas industry to self-report methane emissions. Now we have independent ways to of measuring those emissions and it turns out they were lying about the emissions. By a lot. The blue lines are actual measurements. The pink are industry numbers.

Have you heard the good news?
Biden is working to get the OECD to stop export credits for fossil fuels.
If countries agree, EXIM will have to stop approving loans to oil & gas infrastructure, stopping billions in oil investments & freeing up money to invest in renewables.

In his final weeks, Biden aims to cut off funding for oil and gas projects abroad
Trump would have a hard time undoing a potential international agreement to end most export credits for fossil fuel infrastructure.

If I understand this properly Musk's wealth is now approaching about a quarter of our GDP.He has decided after installing Trump in office in US he wants to pick his preferred leader of Canada. Foreign interference has morphed to Oligarch management of global affairs. What could possibly go wrong?
