“It’s cold today—so much for global warming!”
Weather is like your mood, while climate is your personality. One cold day doesn’t disprove global trends. In fact, warming can even disrupt weather patterns and cause some of the wild swings we see today!

Imagine the hole in Alberta’s budget when the price & demand for oil is in long-term decline in 2030s as a result of the energy transition and increased demand for clean energy. Not nostalgia for the past, it’s about winning the future. Just economics, folks.

We’ve always had floods – but as the world warms, they’re becoming more intense and more severe.
We’re all in harms way – but those who don’t have a safe place to live, or can’t take food and water for granted, are always most vulnerable.

Earth just crossed its first climate tipping point: coral reefs. At ~1.2°C of warming, most warm-water reefs are in irreversible decline. This isn’t distant future - it’s now. Every tenth of a degree still matters. 🪸🌍

Carney is asked about this policy in his presser, and he calls it a "very dangerous step."
"We have a Charter of Rights and fundamental freedoms in this country, and it's the responsibility -- in my view -- of the prime minister and of the government of Canada to defend that charter."

Whoa, Poilievre's announcement today:
He would invoke the notwithstanding clause to overturn a Supreme Court ruling and make sure multiple murderers die in prison.
This would make him the first prime minister to override the Charter using the notwithstanding clause.
Aiieee

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.
