Stop using the 🇺🇸 as a baseline that country is psychotic. Look to Europe and then ask our government why they are not skilled enough to achieve their goals while taking care of people. Broaden your horizons. People in Europe are much happier than here.

"Under the Trudeau government, oil production in Canada hit record levels. In fact, over the last ten years, Canada led the world in increased oil production... This heavy commitment to oil expansion has meant that Canada has missed every single greenhouse gas emissions target it has set. "

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

"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

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.

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.
