The scariest part of climate collapse is how ordinary it’s starting to feel. This week, I wrote in Canada’s National Observer about smoke season, moral injury, and raising kids in a world that shrugs it off. #ClimateSky

'The McGill study says methane emissions from these wells is about 230 kilotonnes yearly, as opposed to the government's current estimate of 34 kilotonnes.' #FailingPetroState #BadGovernement

And this is the government that, going forward, will make it more difficult and expensive for citizens to obtain covid vaccines - even though the cost of providing free vaccines is far lower than the costs incurred in treating patients who contract covid (to say nthg of productivity losses).

So accurate it hurts

A heavy week. ICE is targeting people through their medical records, as Alberta sets new COVID policy that would make RFK Jr. blush. This one will stick with you.

23 amendments made to Bill C-5 at midnight last night. To me the most crucial one read, in part, as follows: "The Minister must ensure that a process is established that allows for the active and meaningful participation of the affected Indigenous peoples..." 1/ www.ourcommons.ca/documentview...

*all this* is so freaking cool

Read this now. As a former lifeguard, it terrifies me I have never seen this list before

people keep telling me they’re sending me love and hugs in response to the news of all trans people losing civil rights. do…you…all…not…see…how…this…is…woefully…insufficient?

Alberta Forestry and Parks Minister Todd Loewen's hunting outfitter company is in his wife's name. He opened up cougar hunting with no idea how many animals there are. ‘Not based on science’: documents show internal government scramble to expand Alberta cougar hunt: thenarwhal.ca/alberta-coug...

The Premier just got herself 288 new staff folks. #alberta

At this point AEW doesn’t just offer an alternative to WWE’s style of wrestling, it’s an alternative to everything it stands for, and that feels more and more important every day

As he should

Wherein Doug Ford demonstrates that he fundamentally does not understand the intrinsic values of nature and First Nations rights cannot be replaced by cash #ontario

You're literally living on and exploiting their land. They can ask you for whatever the fuck they want. Stfu, Doug.

People are rightly perplexed at how only 10 to 20 percent of Albertans support ditching the Canada Pension Plan, yet 20 to 30 percent answer "yes" to pollsters when asked if they want Alberta to leave Canada. Some thoughts.🧵

Very cool!

Hey. Really quick, let’s talk about Getting Out. By now, I hope you know that moving internationally is not only prohibitively expensive, it’s also just straight up prohibited in a lot of cases. Disabled people, for example, are barred from immigration in pretty much most countries. 🧵

Sigh. The price on my antidepressants (SSRI) and thyroid (synthroid) went up. A lot. Can’t afford to pick them up until next Friday. This is gonna be ugly. Very. Tell me again how companies aren’t gouging us despite interest rates dropping? #cdnpoli #inflation #WTF

Ugh. Hug your neighbours friends.

Endless for companies to clean up tailings they're legally required to clean up themselves even though they're making record profits, but I'm going to have to pay for my own Covid shot. These companies have been saying a breakthrough in reclamation is 10 years away for 60 years.

Erskine-Smith seems like the only sane voice in the Liberal caucus right now. His reminder that a Poilievre government empowered by this bill would be a disaster is a fundamentally important one.

Looks like the right wing is very upset over the success of the No Kings Protests There's a lot of fluctuation in followers on a number of the larger Alt accounts. You can help out by Following and retweeting Our message of peace, kindness and wildlife advocacy. Thank you x3

Note to Congress: YOu have the power of the purse. If you don't want US to enter a war against Iran don't fund it.

Looking for a movie that will restore my faith in humanity without making me bawl. Can be fantasy, sci-fi, drama, action, I don't care. Suggestions?

I needed this today

They must be crushed. And yet they found the time to issue this

A win! A federal judge has ordered the government to restore hundreds of NIH grants slashed by the Trump administration, ruling the cuts were discriminatory against minorities and LGBTQ individuals. The judge said he’d have to be “blind” not to see the discrimination and declared the cuts illegal.
