Today, I’m meeting with Métis leadership to discuss the future of our economy.
We will build major infrastructure projects that will connect and transform our country — and we will do it together in partnership.

Poilievre's energy policy is basically let's run up on the credit card and to hell with the bills. Let's build pipelines & max out oil & gas production. Why is this crazy? Canada's high legacy carbon emissions. We'll eventually have to pay for these. As they say, when you're in a hole, quit digging.

I’d suggest people call #DougFord for help since he was responsible for the habitat destruction at #OntarioPlace but I’m pretty sure he’d suggest rounding up the displaced animals for his horrible rabbit, coyote, fox, and hare-hunting pens.

Mark Carney said he has a plan to prop up the Canadian economy as the U.S. careens toward a recession resulting from President Donald Trump's aggressive tariff actions, what Carney called a "financial crisis" that has potential to undo the international trading system.

One thing I'm fucken sick of hearing is that people on the poverty line "don't want handouts."
Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them.
This "shame in receiving free money" for the poor but not the rich makes me SO MAD

With the recent weather in Jakarta not allowing any astrophotography, I thought I'd reprocess some data I shot from back in September/October of last year.

Killer asteroid not coming after all:
Latest observations indicate that asteroid 2024 YR4 has just a 0.0039% risk of hitting Earth in 2032. But there's still a small chance it could hit the Moon. 🧪🔭

It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent.
