LNG Canada exceeds estimated 2024 global record for burned gas | The Narwhal LNG Canada in Kitimat, B.C., burned more gas in 2025 than any other liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility on record in 2024

This is a shocking story. Congrats to @thenarwhal.ca on exposing this.

LNG Canada in Kitimat – 🇨🇦's first major LNG facility – is now one of the highest sources of GLOBAL emissions for flaring, undermining claims that we produce the cleanest natural gas in the world: thenarwhal.ca/lng-canada-b...

Klein: I agree that it is a revolutionary technology, that it is going to transform our economy on the scale of the Industrial Revolution.

But unlike the Industrial Revolution, which created huge numbers of jobs, the goal of this revolution is to eliminate jobs.

New counterterrorism unit helped arrest suspect in shooting targeting Jewish-owned restaurant, Toronto police say A 35-year-old man was charged in the shooting that targeted the Old Avenue Restaurant in North York

Begging reporters to just ask one question about what this unit did that the regular force cannot and did not do. A massive underreported story is how the pro-Israel lobby is fueling a budget boom for police and expansion of police powers.

Amazing reporting by Brett Forrester at CBC. He spent years fighting for access to these valuable documents, got thousands of pages of surveillance released, providing fresh new understandings of how indigenous political organizing internationally scared the hell out of the state.

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

In Indiana, a vaunted Jewish studies program is upended by red-state politics over Israel and speech - Jewish Telegraphic Agency A leadership shakeup, a defunded graduate student and political pressure from above have turned a storied program into a flashpoint for Trump-era campus politics.

In the name of "fighting antisemitism," Indiana University appointed a Christian scholar to tell Jewish scholars what they can and cannot say - all while they invited Tucker Carlson to speak on campus. www.jta.org/2025/11/07/u...

Federal budget’s focus on extraction and fossil fuels does little to help average Canadians and First Nations All of this spending and investment is justified as an urgent measure to protect the country against the tariff and trade wars with the United States. But Canada’s industrial policy

New piece: Private and public capital are flooding into mining and LNG development in the service of a war economy. Over 44 per cent of the Liberal budget is allocated toward defence spending that will eventually slap a Canadian flag on missiles and submarines.

We are in the throws of a battle over who is going to survive the future.

A future marked by scarcity and disaster.

A future these people are accelerating.

That is what is driving the attacks on civil rights and basic equality.

Supremacist beliefs are the tool needed to justify human culling.

Some good news

6 months ago 8 2 0 0

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

I know this case is all over - & it should be - but Turning Point USA has waged a harassment campaign against faculty for more than a decade. I know of at least a half dozen other faculty, personally, who have received death threats and several of those who felt so unsafe they too left their homes
