Electricity demand is surging. Canada has a generational opportunity to build a clean, connected electricity grid from coast to coast. Let's ditch the zombie pipeline ideas and invest in interprovincial connections and renewables! @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/more-renewab...

It just struck me that out of the identifiable characters on this poster, the ratio is 12 women to 6 men, and 11 of the 18 characters are portrayed by actors of colour. How rad is that, especially for fantasy?

One big flashing thought is that every showy corporate/institutional crisis donation that requires fussy need matching or onerous documentation needs to come bundled with seconded free labor to make up for the labor it's extracting from core volunteers. I'm serious and this is a reasonable request.

Leaders across Canada using tariffs as cover to expand O&G production/infrastructure is NONSENSE when Canada's largest O&G importer (the USA) is making it more expensive/difficult to import our products. It's like investing in Blockbuster during the digital media boom lol. #ABLeg #CDNPoli

Glad we got through the tariff emergency (at least the first wave of it....). Also glad that people are bringing creativity, energy, and determination to figuring out a medium and long-run response. But I want to throw cold water on three ideas I've seen floated. I'll explain...

If the defense of #Canada were based on the threats that are killing Canadians today, the military would be handling climate change, disaster response, and public health emergencies We need water bombers, not F-35s Latest @nationalobserver.com #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/01/31/o...

Gotta say. This is a pretty strong argument. Canadians should KNOW if they're voting for somebody who'll let Trump end Canada & annex our territory. Under FPTP, such extremists can take control of a seemingly "mainstream" party, hiding until they've won a majority & it's too late to stop them.

Who owns 80% of the daily newspapers and local newspapers in Canada? Postmedia. Who owns them? USA hedge fund Chatham Assets. Do you think they put Canada’s interests first? I don’t. Drop them all. Get your CANADIAN news here.

The UN Charter was drafted in 1945 by people who had learned the lessons that the aggression, isolationism and tariff barriers of the 20’s and 30’s had led the world into a conflagration. Article One makes it clear: threats of annexation are illegal. So are unilateral tariffs.

Sorry doesn't cut it, American neighbours. Buy Canadian goods, fly the Canada flag, vacation in Canada, complain to your reps, support for Canada on social media, protest Trumps tariffs making life more expensive for YOU. Sorry is our thing, not yours. #Canada #cdnpoli #BuyCanadian #TeamCanada 🇨🇦

Trump: “We’re not looking for a concession. … We’ll just see what happens.” This has never been about border security, or NATO, or trade deficits, or fentanyl. The old North America is gone. If Canada doesn’t soon articulate a plan for our new reality, Trump will define it for us.

Looks like this is happening. This great perfidy from our longstanding and close ally and friend is immensely saddening and maddening. But it also makes me resolute to defend our country. We should and must retaliate. A thread about what I'll be looking for in our retaliation measures....

I used to work for an elected official as the person who answered their emails. I can tell you from personal experience, if even twenty or thirty people all call an official in a day, they start panicking. This stuff does help.

As Trump attempts purges of the civil service and likely military, as it attacks enemies (including academia and media), as it encourages cult violence, as it attacks its allies and comforts dictators, this NYT short is very much worth watching. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_D-...
