Exclusive: Canada may drop oil emissions cap as part of new climate plan, sources say
Canada's government is in discussions with energy companies and Alberta about eliminating a federal cap on emissions from the country's oil and gas sector if the industry and province reduce their carbon footprint in other ways, three sources with knowledge of the talks said.

A well funded public broadcaster is fundamental for our democracy, our culture, and our national unity.
We should be investing in journalism that serves the public interest, not slashing its funding.
I believe in public broadcasting. I believe in protecting the CBC.

During the election campaign, Mark Carney pledged to increase the CBC’s budget by $150 million dollars a year.
Now that he’s in government, he’s telling the public broadcaster to find up to $198 million in annual cuts. He can’t claim to defend the country when he’s gutting its media and culture.

Suggest your own spending cuts, Carney government tells CBC, Via Rail and other Crown corporations
Nearly all government departments and federally-funded organizations are expected to propose "savings" of up to 15 per cent of their spending in the next three years.

And I resent the way companies are trying to force it. The other day Slack emailed saying they were adding AI to their product that already functions fine. I immediately cancelled that account. I don’t want it. It is not a benefit or feature. It is a yoke. I am happy on this hill even if I am alone

This has been his thing for a while; he thinks that Christianity is an important social force for keeping the masses in line but doesn't believe any of the silly Jesus stuff. It's honestly a surprisingly popular position among pundits.

Every sermon and prayer, every article and essay I’ve ever written speaks about Jesus in the present. Why write about him using the past tense? Why write about him as if he is in the tomb? Do not the angels proclaim and the women preach, “He is not here, but has been raised. I have seen the Lord”?
There's something profoundly sad about some Christians, esp. clergy, saying "IF Jesus were here…" or "Jesus WOULD..." My point isn't a semantic gotcha, but that we Christians have to talk about Jesus like He's actually alive (because He is!) and not just a Good Moral Example locked in the past.
