“This is one way to understand the steady increase in fossil fuel-enhanced weather disasters: these floods, fires, heat waves, and intensifying storms are the Bank of Nature’s repo men coming to collect on that debt — “repossessing” our homes, our cars, our towns, even our very lives.”

The Extreme Weather Report, June 5, 2025. Alarming. But not surprising. And definitely not natural.

UCP - “You should really consider limiting how much fish you eat from the Crowsnest Lake because the coal mines poisoned it. Check out recommended intake!” Also UCP - “We last updated the recommended intake in 2019 & Crowsnest Lake isn’t on it! Best of luck! #abpoli #cdnpoli

Jesus fuck this map alone is enough. Then consider the Great Barrier Reef bleaching on the east coast the Gnoorea Beach fish kill and the toxic algae bloom in At Vincents Bay off Adelaide. And so far I've only seen the extent of this marine disaster reported by one team of journalists.

Re-posting Bill 15 today to align with the consistent layout for the 5 bills reshaping Alberta’s health system: Bills 12, 15, 30, 31, and 55. All research by Chris (@skipischris.bsky.social). #ableg #abpoli

Bill 1 lets Alberta bypass federal laws. Bill 23 risks political interference in prosecutions. Together, they undermine the rule of law and tilt the scales of justice. When the rules don’t apply equally, democracy itself is at risk. #ableg #democracy #justice #ABpoli

Bills 20 and 46 combine to strip municipal accountability and hand sweeping powers to the province. Local democracy is undermined when codes of conduct vanish and Cabinet can dismiss officials at will. Democracy matters. #ableg #democracy #ABpoli

“Their economy produces more GDP/worker than any other. But the average Albertan’s standard of living is lower than a decade ago.” “It wasn’t Ottawa that laid them off, cut their pay, froze minimum wage, drove up electricity/insurance costs, and put health care at risk. It was the enemy within.”

My neighbour has been on his balcony every hour tonight to smoke. The air quality in the city is the worst in the world right now. He’s coughing terribly, and yet continues to remain outside. There’s still almost no communication from public health or the city about the risks.
