The election is over but the MAGA onslaught against Prime Minister Carney and Canadian unity has only just started. In the gangster world of Putin, Trump and trolls, Canada is a threat because we are a democratic nation. My reflection on the coming storm. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-coming...

You want to know what #climate scientists got wrong about #climatechange? We were too cautious. It's happening faster than we anticipated and the impacts are going to be worse.

I don’t support the Liberal party. I don’t really support Carney; at best, he is a Red Tory. Good gawd, I hope he and the Liberals win the election. In an ideal world, there would be a viable party that’s actually socialist. In case you missed it, this isn’t an ideal world.

I don’t want to state the obvious, but the timing of the Premier suggesting a referendum on Alberta separation is BEYOND suspect & concerning. This comes after her several & frequent trips to the USA to media frolic with the far right, & at the same time Trump is threatening our sovereignty. #ableg

Great recap of the UCP/Alberta government procurement scandal, including some important pieces that haven't been discussed much. You should read it. There's NO WAY Smith and her corrupt cabal of grifters should be allowed to slither out of this: threadreaderapp.com/thread/19030... #ableg #cdnpoli

Some key takeaways 🧵(do read the full statement!) - govt has taken over direct operational control of HC - if premier/MoH tells any HC leader to do something they CANNOT say no - consequence of doing so is loss of their job and livelihood (& maybe even a permanent ban from AB!)

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

If the allegations surrounding the UCP and AHS are true, it means they had a vested interest in not hiring surgeons in the public health care system. Hiring surgeons and expanding capacity in the public system would be competition, taking money and cases from the private CSFs.

I’m so tired of them. I’m tired of their lies. I’m tired of their disgusting amorality. I’m tired of their faces, their voices, their smirks. I’m tired of their inability to say — let alone do — even one thing remotely kind or humble or appropriate, ever. So tired.

I appreciate all the people recommending the Shock Doctrine. I've been thinking about what makes Trump's use of these tactics a little different. In recent decades, shock tactics were used mainly to rapidly impose neoliberal economic policies. But what Trump is doing goes way beyond that. a 🧵
