At COP30 Canada just got awarded the fossil of the day — first time since 2014 (the harper years). Clear sign of how Carney’s pro fossil fuel agenda and backsliding on climate policy is being noticed internationally.

To honour Remembrance Day there were two songs I needed to listen to. Eric Bogel’s “The Gift of Years”, and the @billybragg.bsky.social version of Woody Guthrie’s “All You Fascists Bound to Lose”.

Do not operate drones in a wildfire area. It is illegal. It can interfere with our firefighting efforts. The fine is $25,000 under the Forests Act.

The N.S. gov’t is pushing “strong mayor” laws that weaken democracy & put communities at risk. We need local decision making – not a system vulnerable to political interference.
