I'm not sure people understand what's happening. Israel stopped all aid trucks from entering Gaza until Hamas agrees to sign a rewrite of the original ceasefire agreement, which will allow Israel to continue the war indefinitely...and the whole world is quiet about it www.cnn.com/2025/03/03/m...

"In a real sense, US democracy has died this month. It doesn’t mean it’s dead for the long term but at this moment the idea of an accountable representative system, as the framers of the constitution wrote it, is no longer present.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Canadians broadly support using oil as a weapon if Trump starts a trade war. 82% of all Canadians support raising the price of oil exports as tactic. Shockingly, that support is at 72% in the oil-producing western prairie provinces. By @brianplatt.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A dozen rad responses to Trump's economic warfare. "Re-evaluating our relationship with China . . . would also force Trump to take notice. For example, we should revisit the imposition of tariffs that currently keep low-cost Chinese electric vehicles out of the Canadian market."

Trying to conceive of the level of hatred it takes to use Trump’s proposal to complete the ethnic cleansing of Gaza to scold Palestinians and their allies for not enthusiastically endorsing the administration that made it possible.

Things that will raise food prices: 1. Tariffs on goods from key trade partners 2. Allowing spread of livestock diseases 3. Deporting people who work in food and agriculture 4. Getting rid of programs to promote resilience of agriculture to climate change Am I missing other stuff?

This seems like a good time for Canada to drop the tariffs on Chinese (non-Tesla) EVs, solar panels, and critical minerals.

“…a 25 per cent export tax on oil and gas would net the federal government just over $40 billion a year based on current exports to the U.S. These funds should be used to build resilience for workers and their communities.”

"Fascism is imperialism turned inward" is still one of the most succinct definitions, and it hits just as hard as all of Eco's 14 traits put together. From a materialist standpoint, "imperialism turned inward" is really all one needs to know.

Add this to the list of recent climate policy backtracking - Saskatchewan is now looking at ways to run its coal fleet past 2030. The Minister for SaskPower argues that SK can ignore Canada's coal fired regulations because electricity is under provincial jurisdiction www.sasktoday.ca/southeast/es...

For the past three months, Israeli forces have blocked or allowed the interruption of every aid mission attempted by the UN into north Gaza, as officials warn that famine may be ongoing in the region and Palestinians languish without water and other basic needs.

"The growth of AI has been called the “savior” of the gas industry. In Virginia alone, the data center capital of the world, a new state report found that AI demand could add a new 1.5 gigawatt gas plant every two years for 15 consecutive years." Wow!

I'm not here—I'm on vacation!—but I must pop in to say: the DOE letter calling increased methane gas exports “neither sustainable nor advisable" is a VERY, VERY BIG DEAL. This is the first time a Dem administration has come out against expanding a fossil fuel! 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2024/12/16/c...
