Once archaeologist. Delver into the obscure. Paper-records miner. A voter. Interested in exploring how humanitarian, social, and ecosystem values can be linked to economic and market values. I liked the climate better when it was in the low 300s ppm.

This happened a while ago, but am I the only one who thinks Canadian government departments should not be on X?
Why are they supporting a far-right platform full of bots, disinformation and election interference? #cdnpoli

I say... Deal the deal!
Cost per hr:
Gripen - $5,800
F35 - $35,000.
Lets say 1000hrs per year per plane.
Gripen - $5,800,000
F35 - $35,000,000
72 planes
Gripen - $417,600,000
F35 - $2,520,000,000
Gripen savings - $2,102,400,000 per year.
That's $2.1 billion per year saved.

There is far more to this than jobs.
Saab is offering the intellectual property and full control of the Gripens we buy.
That alone should be enough to seal the deal.
The Canadian companies that make parts for the F35 could easily make parts for the Gripen.

Trevor Hancock: Carney offers 20th-century responses to 21st-century challenges
Both people and the planet are largely missing from the Carney budget. Instead, the government seems to be following the old Bill Clinton maxim: ‘It’s the economy, stupid’

This should be concerning to all Canadians: Ksi Lisims isn't just bad for the climate, energy bills and food security; it's also a threat to Canadian sovereignty, being entirely owned by US MAGA shitlords. You know, the folks who want to make Canada the 51st state. Well, it's kinda happening—via LNG

Scrap the focus-tested messaging. Communicate directly with passion and substance. And start advocating for solutions as big as the crises we face in ways people can understand.

Archaeological site in Alaska that casts light on early Yup'ik life ravaged by ex-Typhoon Halong - World News
A fragment of a mask that was preserved for hundreds of years in permafrost sat in the muck of a low tide in the western Alaska community of Quinhagak. Wooden spoons, toys, a fishing lure and other artifacts were strewn, in some cases for miles, along the beach.
