The price of EU Carbon Allowances for December closed at €85. A tad stronger than I predicted.
And in 2025 the federal Liberal govt under Mark Carney dropped its consumer carbon price.

The kids outgrew it yonks ago, but this little trailer obviates the need for so many car trips for a city dweller like myself. Like picking up 102 litre totes. #vanbikes

Had to walk half a block from station at 41st to a piano recital today. Was Vancouver's version of running the gauntlet. Darting past splash zones, jumping waterlogged pavement... you'd never guess @cityofvancouver.bsky.social has a "pedestrians first" policy. #Vancouver
