There is no way to meaningfully address climate change & the climate crisis without impacting the oil & gas industry. The fact that we dance around this is why we are in this bizarre both sides political dance. The goal is to phase out & transition those industries.

Again, authoritarianism as a component of capitalism is about shifting from a society of relative privilege to one where it becomes normal that people will needlessly die, that to protest or speak out means risking death or imprisonment. This has been building for decades.

Memo to Alberta's federalists and anti-separatists: stop accepting Danielle Smith's premise that the province has been screwed over by Ottawa. It's time for more facts and fewer feelings. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/05/29/o...

Great – looks as if the White House used AI to draft a health report and wound up inserting citations for articles that don’t exist. They put cheating high schoolers to shame. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/w...

It is wild to me how often we can have the same conversation, unpack the same things & yet, the needle never moves. Three years ago, the Globe interviewed me & tons of other experts for a big exposé on misogyny in the world of hockey & yet, we're still trying to convince people it's a problem.

@minibubbly.bsky.social I fact-checked this document, and it’s accurate. It should be shared with those who assume Mark Carney should’ve already released a budget—context matters.

We're focused on dangers Trump poses, but the real danger is inside the room. Anti-democratic Smith, Ford & Cons pillage our resources for private profit, defund & destroy education & public healthcare, deny urgent climate & enviro issues, ignore Indigenous rights. Captain Canada faked us out!
