Just gonna underscore @katharinehayhoe.com's point here. Nobody setting the pace and scale of the energy transition in 2025 is waiting on leadership from a multinational oil company, and it's not the least surprising that BP's shareholders would rather see the company focus on near-term profit

There are a million things to criticize and snark over in a project this size. There’s already a shelf in Ottawa filled with abandoned plans. I hear you all and I don’t care—ANY news of real money going into high-speed rail in this country is good news in my books www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Oh hey it’s Peter Baker of the Times, master of those “in this Ohio diner” reports that eagerly enabled the rise of fascism in the US, treating Canadian sovereignty with similar glibness

I moved from Alberta to Ontario in my 2nd year of high school and my acid wash jeans went from super trendy to totally out of style overnight. Had to keep wearing em for awhile because they were all I had but I knew they were destined for the trash. This is a metaphor, Rupa, learn from it

Always like to post charts like this about Germany's Energiewende whenever they pop up because I've been reporting on it for 20 years and have heard regularly throughout that it wasn't happening, couldn't happen, would fail, had failed, would ruin their economy, would collapse their grids...

Four days it took her to say anything. And then she says … she will do nothing. Not good enough. Her own office is implicated. The investigation can’t be delivered to the people being investigated. How dumb does she think Albertans are? /1

The premier’s official statements are Twitter-only now and she had nothing to do with the actions of the executive and board she appointed. Tidy business Premier Smith, sorry to bother you with this

The hell is up with this framing? Canada's UN ambassador defends the country against ludicrous tariffs, and the crux of the story is a couple of Trump loyalists spouting off on the social media network owned by the guy currently running amok through the private files of the US government?

This passage will be instantly familiar to many Canadians as the basis for the third verse of the Tragically Hip's "Courage." The full Maclennan quote seems to resonate in a lot of ways this weekend
