So brutal. Danielle Smith & the oilsands’ goal is increasing production, pollution, and the cost Canadians pay for climate change - while delaying the energy transition. The opposite of winning the future.
Just one week after signing an MOU with the federal govt agreeing to strengthen industrial carbon pricing, Alberta has changed its regulations, making the agreement harder to achieve.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

I'm skeptical about how much MPs can influence Carney in terms of climate action. And this quote resonates:
“When the agreement came out someone texted me saying, ‘The only thing missing from the agreement is Pierre Poilievre's signature,’ and I went yeah, I think that sums it up,” he said.

In @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social’s first English-media interview since resigning over the pipeline MOU with Alberta, the former cabinet minister said the government isn’t being honest with the public and is betraying its commitments.

Just a friendly reminder that the Polar Vortex is not an Arctic storm, polar hurricane, blizzard or things that comes to visit us. Lobes of its wave system can dip south into the U.S. bringing colder air. I have already seen a car commercial improperly refer to it and a major newspaper headline.
