wow 1 vote made the difference www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7532136

After decades of solar PV deployment, the world crossed the 1 TW (a million MW) line in 2022. Just two years later, after adding 0.6 GW in 2024, we already crossed the 2 TW mark too! @solarpowereu.bsky.social via @olofvandergaag.bsky.social

#Scheer is a U.S. citizenship. Scheer denied that he had been hiding this information. During the election campaign he indicated that he was in the process of renouncing, but in 2020, announced that he no longer plans to renounce his American citizenship en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_...

The election of this gentleman to leader of Germany is hopefully a positive change for Ukraine... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedri...

In the Oval Office, PM Mark Carney said “During the election campaign I met with the owners of Canada, and they said it's not for sale." We elected the right guy, my friends, we really did. #CDNpoli

These boxes are not moving. A mind-bending optical illusion by Japanese artist Jagarikin.

India and Pakistan are so similar in many ways yet fight tooth and nail. Sigh www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7528084

"Petrostates try to hide, and ultimately obscure the truth when it conflicts with the message they have decided they want people to hear. In the case of Alberta, the preferred message is that oil and gas, not clean, inexpensive renewable energy, will provide Alberta with continued prosperity."

Man who let snakes bit him 100s of times described as "special individual"... Ah yah! Fairly amazing though. globalnews.ca/news/1116416...

Great piece in the Rolling Stone by Guy Lawson. It brings up 2 questons: 1. Are people in the riding Jamil Jivani is running in are aware of his friendship with Vance? 2. What will it take for Americans of stature to challenge Trump on his war against Canada? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I do not want to see Canada changed into the USA. Not voting for conservative change. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Mark Carney is running to be the Prime Minister of Canada. Pierre Poilievre is running to be the Govenor of the 51st state. Vote accordingly.

It’s clear neither the media nor the average person even remotely understands the scope and magnitude of what is coming.

The world is on Zelensky’s side. Zelensky applauded by world leaders upon entering church.

Hey Canadian media. Pierre Poilievre is not a ‘firebrand’. He’s a fringe politician who embraces extreme politics, has associated with extremist groups/individuals, has a 20+ years record of offensive & bigoted remarks. Do not normalize this threat to Canada’s democracy. #NeverPoilievre #MapleMAGA

Dear Canada: That asshole in the WH hasn’t stopped calling you the 51st state because he has given up his expansionists ambitions. He stopped saying it because Poilievre begged him to chill during the election. If you want Canada to stay Canadian,vote Liberal. You can deal with policy differences

This is a great trail for people like myself coming across from #VancouverIsland on BcFerries with my bike. It is a wonderful bike ride all the way HorseshoeBay to NorthVan on this multi-use trail. Also stop at Isetta Cafe in West Van or Nomad Coffee in North Van for refueling 🚲😊☕

Poilievre: “People in BC are terrorised and afraid to go outside”. I know zero people who feel this way, or even close to this way. How does anybody take this guy seriously?

PP addressing the most urgent needs of all Canadians by you guessed it promising the return of plastic straws. PS he didnt get my vote. www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7514037

Who was the “winner” of tonight’s Canadian Federal Election French Langauge Debate? Doesn’t matter. Who will “win” tomorrow night’s English debate? Doesn’t matter. Which of the two party leaders who can actually win the election would do a better job governing Canada? Carney, & it isn’t close.

This is a step in the right direction www.timescolonist.com/bc-news/bc-t...

"I haven't followed Canadian politics closely, but when a politician talks of limiting free press, activities at universities & defying the courts, it's the canary in a coal mine for autocracy" - Harvard University Professor when asked his opinion on Pierre Poilievre. #Canada #cdnpoli #elxn45

Poilievre still does NOT have his security clearance Canada is being threatened with annexation We face unprecedented foreign interference in our elections & Poilievre still refuses to get his security clearance I hope Canadians make him pay for it at the polls #cdnpoli

Most Canadians are wary of Pierre Poilievre now. A vote for his party is a vote for Trumpism.

The CDC has literally been gutted today. There’s no need for “April Fools” when reality is a nightmare for every human on this planet. Thousand of scientists fired. Entire departments erased. 1/

"We've had a US proposal for an unconditional ceasefire for weeks. Russia's response? Drones, bombs, ballistic missiles," – Zelensky. "The scale and brutality of Russia’s strikes show daily how little Putin cares about diplomacy. Sanctions are needed."

Piss off Marlaina.

Carney, on Poilievre's (dubious) claim he is somehow beholden to China: "absolutely not." "Mr. Poilievre doesn't understand the world," he adds. "Mr. Poilievre is a lifelong politician, that's all he's ever done. He's slogans, soundbites, slander. [He] doesn't understand how the world works."

I appreciate that Jeffrey Goldberg did not sit on this news for a book that he writes two years from now
