Targeting civilians is a war crime. Lets start there.

Good luck Waterloo Region and Guelph! When the premier is pretty much a lobbyist for Enbridge, you’re gonna need it!
In Ontario, Enbridge Gas gets to build pipelines on public land for free...unlike in Alberta. Waterloo Region and Guelph want to change that: thenarwhal.ca/ontario-enbr... #ONpoli #energytransition

Guelph, Waterloo Region and other Ontario municipalities argue the gas giant shouldn’t be able to build pipelines on public land for free

"Now, [the #ONgov has] officially legislated climate denial. It leaves Ontario with no plan, no targets and no accountability. We’re sailing into the storm of climate catastrophe with no compass, no map and no leadership. And it will cost us all."

I think Doug’s fibbing again about who’s calling all the shots, but if he’s not, then maybe he needs to start micromanaging his people.

That's right, folks, the Ontario government's Black Friday sale is back! And for this Black Friday, for a small donation to my reelection campaign, you'll receive a $10M Skills Development Fund grant! But hurry, because the OPP are having a look-see now, so this is a time-limited offer!

Great take on what this really means. Though I am sorry Guilbeault resigned from cabinet he’s still in caucus. Perhaps he and Carney have another ‘plan’.
Hope so, he’s a worthy MP.

So far, Mark Carney has gotten two standing ovations and lost one cabinet minister as a result of his "grand bargain" with Alberta. The best, or worst, is almost certainly yet to come, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes
The method to Mark Carney’s madness
The memorandum of understanding with Alberta might look like surrender. Look closer

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.
Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

"The trend is clear: while the cost of dispatchable renewable energy systems continues to decline through innovation, the cost of fossil-based generation is expected to increase — a divergence that is likely to become even more pronounced in the coming years."
The idea that India will import expensive LNG to replace coal power is not one based in reality.
And it's because of simple economics that we know this.
Renewables are cheaper than coal. And coal is much cheaper than LNG.
Do the math.

India's coal utilisation is set to decline as renewables increasingly meet power demand.
MORE THAN A THIRD of India’s coal assets will run below 40% utilisation by 2032. Expensive plants running above INR 3/kWh risks becoming underutilised or going idle.

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.
Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

Anyone really think Mark Carney doesn’t have an over-riding ‘strategy!?
The United States is in crisis and, therefore, Canada is in crisis. Both crises involve reimagining national strategy, and also questions of federalism. But the similarity, writes public policy professor Alasdair Roberts, ends there. thewalrus.ca/enough-of-tactic...
