Had an incredible time yesterday with the Defenders of the Eastern Slopes and other environmental allies down at the Highwood logging blockade in Kananaskis. Our headwaters need to be protected!!! #ABLeg #ABPoli

We should be able to vote online. We do our taxes online, banking, even getting lab blood test results. Almost everything is done online these days. There's gotta be a way to set up online voting safely and securely.

Most ecological truths can never be proven—not because they’re false, but because life is too tangled, too nonlinear, too ancient and contingent to reduce to clean answers. Often, we don’t even know the right questions to ask.

Water has always been a fundamental force shaping our planet – both in sustaining life across ecosystems and in guiding the organization and survival of human societies. What might change if we had a deeper understanding of global and regional hydrological cycles?

Restore Alberta's Coal Mining Ban Now
Against the overwhelming will of the people, the Alberta government has quietly lifted the coal moratorium, once again exposing these critical headwaters to exploration and destruction.

The UCP is fast-tracking plans against the will of the majority of Albertans to allow new coal mining projects in the Eastern Slopes.

We need to act now. Send a direct message to Brian Jean, Energy Minister; it only takes 5 minutes.

A fantastic conversation about centering the economy around biodiversity. Assigning more value to an ecosystem than the sum of its parts.

Thanks, @natehagens.bsky.social for hosting ecologist, Thomas Crowther 🙏🤝

🚨 The UCP is rolling out the red carpet for an Australian billionaire to build coal mines on the Eastern Slopes of the Rockies, despite opposition from the majority of Albertans.

Last week the AER approved Northback's application for new coal exploration on Grassy Mtn.
That approval killed any hope that Northback might have for compensation.
On the w/e premier Smith said Northback wd not be able to operate an open pit mine.
This revives Northback's compensation claims. 1/2

The premier has official contradicted her own energy minister Brian Jean.

Brian claimed that Grassy Mountain was exempt from the open pit ban.

Smith is now saying drilling is to confirm an "underground" mine is viable.

Right hand not knowing the left?

Another shameful decision from Alberta's Energy Regulator that will have negative consequences for our headwaters. The AER consistently fails to meet its own stated mandate to “provide safe, orderly, and environmentally responsible energy development.”

A new story from @thetyee.ca shows that David Yager, the man responsible for Alberta’s new "mature" oil well cleanup scam, has deep connections to Premier Danielle Smith and a legacy of conflicts of interest - red flags everywhere. thetyee.ca/News/2025/05... #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli #YYC #YEG

Either we run out of lithium and the economy falters, or we extract it and the biosphere unravels. Every “solution” accelerates the collapse.

Chile’s lithium boom promises jobs and money — but threatens a critical water source
The Atacama Desert is a major source of lithium for EV batteries. As global demand ramps up, the local Lickanantay people are racing to protect already scarce water supplies and their way of life.

Ok....did summer start early? Your calendar says no. Your sunburn disagrees. It's warm and dry this week too. Farmers: planting the seeds now - praying for rain later. This weeks prairie weather outlook at Rural Roots Canada: www.ruralrootscanada.com/prairie-weat... #abwx #skwx #mbwx #gojets

Terrific planting weather is expected across the prairies this week. And it will be warm. But will we get enough moisture for germination?

Good:

* Poilievre isn't Prime Minister.
* Poilevre lost his own seat.

Bad:

* Everything has shifted substantially rightward.
* 40% of popular vote and +20 seats for Cons.
* Basically a two-party parliament of centre right and far right.
* Left leaning parties wiped out.

Toronto artist, Dara Vandor, has been building and placing speculative plaques at points throughout the city, which she hopes will serve as a dark warning while inspiring people to contemplate on the fragility of nationhood.
