Am I the only one who finds it slightly galling that premiers are pitching major projects to an open-eared prime minister right now -- including pipelines -- as a province burns around them and people are forced to evacuate????? As a result of wildfires which are exacerbated by climate change???

Whoever built the flattery into Chat GPT when you give it direction worked with clients before. On one hand, I feel a little dirty letting a computer be so nice to me. On the other hand, we could all use a compliment once in awhile. #ai

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

"A decades-long campaign of misinformation by the fossil fuel industry is a key reason the climate majority has been suppressed, researchers said." I want to scream this one from the rooftops.

Calgary Confederation & Calgary Centre are tied between Liberals and Cons. NDP voters: orange is closer to red than blue. Your vote may determine if Calgary gets real representation in a Carney majority government—or a former UCP MLA in opposition. #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦 #yyc #Calgary #Alberta #cdnpoli

Today's US EO orders the Attorney General to identify + take expeditious action to stop enforcement of "all State & local laws... purporting to address “climate change” or involving “environmental, social, and governance” initiatives, “environmental justice,” carbon or “greenhouse gas” emissions."

This seems important for Canadians to understand. "Even if Trans Mountain succeeds and the CER approves a toll increase, its lifetime revenues still wouldn’t even cover half of the pipeline’s now $34-billion price tag, Gunton said" www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/09/n...

I’m devastated, but I’m also angry. I’m angry because this is an attack on press freedom. If opportunities can be stripped from journalists simply because enough people repeat the same bad-faith narrative, how can anyone withstand the career impact of doing work that matters?

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

When people don't stand up to bad leadership, it's rarely because they don't care. It's often that they feel powerless. Learned helplessness is the pattern of giving up when we learn that events in our lives are beyond our control. The answer isn't to accept defeat. It's to find sources of power.

We were out at AER today protesting as the hearings on the Grassy Mountain coal project took place inside. Keep the pressure on #Alberta! Write, call, make it known that you stand for clean water. #abpoli #mountainsnotmines

I'm sorry, but there's no world in which fining a coal company just $9000 for poisoning our watersheds gets to qualify as "world class environmental regulations." Yet again, the Alberta Energy Regulator puts fossil fuel companies over our health and safety. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #ABLeg #CDNPoli

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

"Where is the honesty about intentions? Such as telling Albertans you are improving the rules, then mentioning that the mine at the centre of the most contentious issue in Alberta in decades is exempt from these regulations. Article content Article content Is that honesty? How about honour?"
