Alberta's dismantling of its 20-year-old flaring limit after companies blew through the limit two years in a row, with no objections from the federal government, is an example of the challenges Canada faces in reconciling its environmental commitments with a renewed focus on economic growth.
Surely even Liberal supporters can see the pattern by now: The Alberta & Cdn govts tell anyone who will listen that Alberta/Canada has "the best environmental standards in the world." The reality is that they are not fit for purpose, not implemented, or not enforced.

6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that

Alarming, undemocratic, violating #humanrights, refusing to listen to those so dedicated to giving our children a good public education that they were willing to stay out on strike, at much cost/sacrifice to themselves, to get our govt to listen to what they, frontline workers, see in the classroom.
