If he knew history he would know he's saying total BS, and is totally wrong. But I guess he doesn't care.

I work for an NGO so we are always asking for money!

When I worked with Matthew at the Mowat Centre (RIP), he was always able to explain things very clearly -- annoyingly even things I wrote! This is a fantastic explainer about the how Canadas can improve its productivity

I biked yesterday in Toronto. It wasn't too bad -- except for random massive snow piles blocking bike lanes. Somehow over two weeks out from the storm they can't clear even downtown bike lanes

I tried to ride the Sherbourne bike lane this morning. Same, and I had to bike in the car lane. Yet they are clearing snow for parking in the Beaches.... Downtown bike lanes should be a priority!

Canada’s 100 Most Liveable Cities Explore our third data-driven ranking of the most desirable places to live in the country

Apparently the best cities to live in Canada, according to the Globe and Mail, and not diverse suburbs where you have to drive everywhere www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Or roughly 80 solar panels, totalling 28 kW :-)

Welcome to Toronto! Great to see there will be more good people writing about energy and the environment here.

One of the most interesting threads every year!

The #PragmaticClimateReset is a two part-essay calling for a reset in our approach to climate action. Part I shows why narratives trumpeting the failure of efforts to date are wrong. Part II says that, nevertheless, the climate community now needs to change its approach. 1/n

"This is, in many ways, the dynamic that defines reactionary centrism: the right must be understood, but never blamed. The left can be blamed, but need not be understood."

Very, very good piece, highly recommended. This is the dominant ideological tendency in the US elite today and it is *toxic*.

Heat Pumps Are Good Politics Climate policy strategist Justin Guay has a populist pitch for our warming world.

The far right is laying yet another culture war climate trap

In a warming world they want climate hawks to deny the sweaty masses air conditioning

Knock-knock! Anyone here?

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Yes! Thank you very much. Just in time for holiday reading!

Alas no... :-(

Nothing better than a market design paper! Any chance for that author gift link for us poor NGO types?

Bloody hell. This is embarassing

China breaks more records with surge in solar and wind power Between January and May, China added 198 GW of solar and 46 GW of wind, enough to generate as much electricity as Indonesia or Turkey

China added 198 GW of solar and 46 GW of wind in the first six months on 2025! To put that into context, Canada only has 152 GW of TOTAL generating capacity www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Don't tell them! They might legislate against it if they realize

Or it could be people still settling into the market. I’ll give it time and see how it works

Happy new Ontario electricity market day for those who are celebrating!

This has always been the conundrum of the left. It is rooted in the economics of a (shrinking) white working class manual labour, but culturally grounded in metropolitan progressives. Bridging this divide in a way that builds solidarity rather than pitting them against each other is the holy grail

Canada -- it's election day. If you don't vote, you will still have the right to complain, but other people also will also have the right to complain about you.

Give me more charts!
