Alberta Healthcare Universality is Clearly in Smith's Sights

Pay more taxes, get fewer public services. Not satisfied? Then pay out of your own pocket.

That's the playbook, folks. You've been warned.

The ocean has been hoarding heat. Now it is building up a massive 'burp.'
Even if humans cut emissions enough to reduce global temperatures, new research shows the Southern Ocean could kick warming back into gear.

“Heat pumps are superior in efficiency to condensing boilers, even if the heat pumps are powered by electricity from a power station burning natural gas.”

Not me saying that but the late Prof Sir David MacKay.

This is a good article, worth reading.

Gigantic SUVs are a public health threat. Why don’t we treat them like one?

The anti-smoking playbook is worth studying and learning from, and is completely applicable to oversized cars.

For too long, industry has been labelled a “hard-to-abate” sector. It’s time to rethink that.

With rapid advances in electrification and energy efficiency, much of industry is not hard to abate — it’s ready to innovate.

The chokehold that the right wing and "establishment" Dems have on the US media is frightening.
...and less than 24 hours later Condé Nast has fired Lex and the rest of the Teen Vogue political desk, even as stories like this were bringing huge numbers of readers to the site
dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?

great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

😂 Funny, but more evidence: DO NOT TRUST AI summaries. Many of these things are *large language models*...they predict a reasonable combination of words. Reminder that they do not do logic, math, history, biology, engineering, or NEWS fact checks.

When the Canadian government announced in 1986 that a dollar coin would replace the dollar bill, the original design featured voyageurs.
But the decision to save $43 in courier costs changed Canadian history and led to Canada receiving The Loonie.
This is the story.

Forrest Smith, the only National Park Service engineer cleaning up abandoned oil and gas wells, lost his contract, leaving 93 orphaned wells on park lands unmanaged. These leaking wells release methane and toxins, threatening human health and the environment.

Hey, uh, Canada? Let's have a little chat about that media ownership stuff now and pandering interviews, shall we? Before it's too late... 😓🇨🇦
I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

The shingles vaccine availability should also be increased to anyone who wants it, regardless of age. I'm "too young", but have already had shingles as have many friends - and post-COVID there is a spike in cases due to immune suppression. Painful, sometimes disabling, and preventable!
