To put this headline differently: "LNG Canada's plant in Kitimat is about to become the single largest point source of GHG emissions in BC, and its LNG exports, once burned overseas, will generate carbon emissions roughly equivalent to half the total GHGs of BC." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

23 amendments made to Bill C-5 at midnight last night. To me the most crucial one read, in part, as follows: "The Minister must ensure that a process is established that allows for the active and meaningful participation of the affected Indigenous peoples..." 1/ www.ourcommons.ca/documentview...

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Every 2 mins, the Sun hits Earth with more energy than humanity uses in a year. In 2024, China led with 10,072 TWh—more than next 5 nations combined. It’s not GDP that defines the future—it’s energy. Solar is fusion. Add storage, & fossil fuel dominance is done. Clean, abundant power is inevitable.

Right on Trump’s doorstep, NEVs are booming—and BYD’s leading by a mile. In Brazil, EV sales hit record highs in May, up 63% YoY. BYD holds 64% of the market, with local production about to begin. While the US drags its feet, China’s EV giants are racing ahead in America’s backyard.
