It is the 4th of December. I don’t want my year in review of anything. The year has some not insignificant amount of time left in it. How do I make it stop?

#yycbike Dec 1 report.
Worst part of last weeks ride (Centre to EV) was the best this morning. Clear, no ice ruts! From Inglewood to Glenmore - thin hard pack snow describes most of the trip. Passable but could be better. Weekend crews that don’t give a fck maybe? 🤔 Almost hit a deer in Carburn! 😲

Mark Carney’s climate inaction is at odds with his awareness of climate change’s existential threat
Climate action no longer seems to be a priority for Prime Minister Mark Carney, despite his previous activism. This is bad news for Canadians and the climate.

It’s almost like relying on the “generosity” of capitalists to fund the things society needs is a bad idea. https://mstdn.ca/@JEmphatically/115346259667494297

You know, I was involved in the creation of the Suncor Energy Foundation, and what is happening now on Rich Kruger's watch is a real shame. Lawyers threatening charities on behalf of corporations making record profits, pulling out of multi-year commitments without warning, a total lack of respectful communication...this is not leadership. It's really irresponsible behaviour. Am I surprised? Not really. Fossil fuel companies are taking off their masks and exposing who they really are. #ableg #cdnpoli #FossilFuels #charities https://www.theenergymix.com/communities-can-crumble-charities-warn-in-open-letter-recalling-suncors-decision-to-slash-donations/
