“I don't see any plan, any strategy, any end game,” says Pat Parenteau, a professor of environmental law at the University of Vermont. “I don't see anything from this administration, just fuck everything up as much as you can. You can print that.”

This is a national tragedy and I am absolutely heartbroken. I join all Canadians in standing with the people of Tumbler Ridge. I send my condolences to the families and friends of those killed in this horrific event, and I am praying for a quick recovery for those injured. (1/2)

Sarah Hoffman, you always draw such community engaged folks to the cause.
It was great to wrap up last week meeting with Caelen, a MacEwan University social work student on practicum in my colleague MLA Lorne Dach’s office. I first met her when I visited her Gr. 6 class. We had a thoughtful conversation about the issues impacting our community.

A fantastic evening of figure skating to Team Canada 🇨🇦
After memorable performances by Stephen Gogolev as well as Marjorie Lajoie and Zach Lagha, Canada is just two points behind Italy for bronze.
The conclusion tomorrow with women’s, men’s and pairs free skates.

I was in the House of Commons this week, speaking out against Danielle Smith’s latest attacks on public health care.
People are already tragically paying the price.
Protecting health care is the federal government’s job. They have to step in before other conservative premiers copy follow her lead.

I don’t make a habit of listening to speeches out of Davos, but this is genuinely one for the history books: a clear-eyed acknowledgment that the old international order was partly a fiction and is now a lie, and a call to act collectively to build resilience and sovereignty in the face of hegemony.
Seriously, WHEREVER you are in the world, I recommend watching all of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s powerful & already famous speech at Davos.
Can’t underestimate its leadership importance.
Key line: “Middle powers must work together, because if we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu.”
