Freakin' cool. Bloomberg's clean tech newsletter today is spotlighting these container ship "sails": 123-foot tall high-tech "Windwing Sails"... that adjust to real time wind data (saving 6 tonnes of fuel, and 20 tonnes of CO2 per journey in good weather).

“If we have nothing to hide, we should take that path” That’s UCP MLA Peter Guthrie who just voted with us in calling for a full public inquiry into the CorruptCare scandal. MLA Scott Sinclair also stood up. This is huge. Now, which other UCP MLAs will have a backbone and do the right thing?

What a strong statement…what a serious position. It’ll be wonderful to have an adult in charge beyond April 28. We can’t be complacent..we all need to vote. Thank you, @mark-carney.bsky.social .

This isn't exactly a glowing review of the CPC candidate running in Courtenay Alberni. Seems they found some real scum to run on the island. #cdnpoli

🔥 Breaking: Former legal advisor to Stephen Harper and Law Professor Benjamin Perrin: Endorses Mark Carney for Prime Minister of Canada @mark-carney.bsky.social Federal Election 2025: Why I’m Endorsing Mark Carney & The Liberals by Benjamin Perrin www.scribd.com/document/849...

United in Port Moody–Coquitlam, we can stop Pierre Poilievre’s cruel clawbacks. Since 2021, we’ve pushed for real change—forcing action on the Canada Disability Benefit and introducing Bill C-422 to end clawbacks hurting people with disabilities. Let’s keep fighting for dignity and justice. #cdnpoli

If Jeff Bezos can send Katy Perry into space, he can pay a wealth tax so every American has debt-free healthcare.

Air passed through vocal chords often make meaningful, informative, and pleasant sounds to listen to. When Pierre Poilievre does it, however, lies result. The lies, moreover, are often uttered in a sneering, superior air of condescension. PP is the worst in a string of bad CPC candidates.

“As a former MLA and Cabinet Minister, I have been extremely impressed by the outstanding representation Bonita Zarrillo has provided. Her strong support of community organizations and individuals in our riding has been a benefit to all of us. She is truly a people's representative.”

Diana Carney came to Carleton today to lend us a hand in the fight to unseat Pierre Poilievre. Tomorrow we’re bringing the fight to Ashton with Michelle Foxton before Pints & Politics. Register here: event.liberal.ca/en/events/35...

Great news!! Many of the world’s largest shipping nations decided on Friday to impose a minimum fee of $100 for every ton of greenhouse gases emitted by ships above certain thresholds, in what is effectively the first global tax on greenhouse gas emissions. /1 thread apnews.com/article/ship...

I came to Canada as a temporary foreign worker (TFW) under Harper, when he made it legal to pay foreign workers less than Canadians. It was Trudeau who scrapped that. Trudeau changed that rule so that there was no incentive to hire a TFW over a Canadian. #Cdnpoli #TFW #CanadaImmigration

Can you imagine being a open traitor to your country? PP is an example of foreign influence and oligarch support.

South #Surrey #WhiteRock needs to show this aged goat the door! She dodged a recent debate, of course. Her husband is a HORRID controversial BC CONservative MLA. #cdnpoli #bcpoli Liberal is your strategic vote - NOT NDP! www.peacearchnews.com/election/con...

Current polling results for Port Moody - Coquitlam. A vote for the Liberal only helps the Conservative. A liberal has never won this riding. www.poliwave.com/Canada/Feder...

What is it with the CPCs? Will they never get policies that resonate with broad Canadian economic, and social values? Why do the unpopular, weird, and sometimes cringe-worthy seem to rise to the top? Looking forward to voting in this election, and won't be for my local CPC candidate!

I’ve been meeting with businesses in Carleton over the last few weeks about the impact of U.S. tariffs. Small businesses want a serious leader with experience — not a career politician like Pierre Poilievre. #FanjoyVsPoilievre #TogetherWeCan

Don’t stop at Scunthorpe steel — nationalise water, mail, all of rail and energy. Bring them all into public ownership.

Can we start calling it Alberta separatism instead of western separatism? Nobody here in BC is talking about separation.

Out knocking doors today with our amazing volunteers and @stevenmackinnon.bsky.social @cathmckenna.bsky.social ! We’re going to stop Pierre Poilievre from bringing American-style politics to Canada — by voting him out here in Carleton. #FanjoyVsPoilievre #TogetherWeCan #CarletonDeservesBetter

Friday Finnish!! Berndt Lindholm (Finnish painter) 1841 - 1914 Lapset polulla (Children on the path), 1872 oil on canvas 45 x 65 cm. private collection Landscape painter usually associated with Düsseldorf School, but work also displays early Impressionist elements. Specialized in coastal scenes.

Look! Rempel lives in Oklahoma. She has for at least 8 years. Just shows up in parliament minimum amount of time needed. She does not give af about Calgary or Alberta or Canada. Just send her packing for the last time.

“Pierre Poilievre likes to present himself as a regular guy focused on Canadians’ bread and butter concerns, but the reality is he’s a well-connected shill for the industry that’s undermined Canada for decades and is preventing our transition off fossil fuels.” An editorial by @taylornoakes.com.

😆

Pierre Poilievre is Big Oil’s useful idiot “Poilievre has voted against the environment 400 times in 20 years — no surprise, given that his inner circle is stacked with fossil fuel lobbyists.” An editorial by @taylornoakes.com.

A great victory for Coquitlam Express Hockey Club last night —- it was great to be in attendance and talking to everyone about my Re-Elect Bonita Zarrillo campaign. Thank you to my incredible team of volunteers and to Tali Campbell for making it possible. Port Moody - Coquitlam

I left the snows of Timmins early this morning and now flying into the Comox Valley on beautiful Vancouver Island. The resistance tour is in Cumberland tonight. Thanks to my dear friend @gordjohns.bsky.social for making the arrangements. The event is at No. 6 Mine Park from 7-8 pm. #elbowsup

The richest man in the world is looking for handouts from the government. That is not surprising. Billionaires are the biggest hypocrites.

Love this picture of Maja Tait, the NDP's amazing candidate for Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke! #ElbowsUpCanada! #Esquimalt #Colwood #Saanich #Sooke

ATTENTION CANADIANS: 👇⬇️

Jon Lee Anderson profiles Alexandre de Moraes, the crusading Brazilian jurist who took on the Bolsonarist insurrection—and Elon Musk.

It’s the highest form of hypocrisy and desperation when the candidate with ZERO resume tries to attack the candidate with the GREATEST resume. Carney: A+ Poilievre: F
