Thank you Steven Guilbeault for being a principled person and for all that you have done and tried to do for environmental and justice causes. Mark Carney has betrayed Canadians in many ways since taking office. He has lost / abandoned his #climate credibility. #cdnpoli

It is now totally clear that Prime Minister Mark Carney (@mark-carney.bsky.social) is just another climate con-man. He conned Canadians into thinking he understood climate change, especially the economics. Clearly he does not understand where the wind is blowing and sun is shining. #cdpoli #climate

Just started using #digiKam and I am thrilled. For the first time in a long time, I feel confident about my digital asset management. It is amazingly full-featured. Interface choices could use some work, but otherwise, it's great.

Yeah. Bernie is an Independent. The Dems are f-ing MIA alright.

Nice graphic! Requires knowledge of a key aspect of the #racist history of the USA. Sadly, most Americans don't have a clue.

Using animals as metaphors to criticize bad humans and their actions is not only lazy, it's also unfair to the animals and contributes to inaccurate stereotypes of them.

Should we even bother talking about climate change? It’s a question you hear muttered more and more in environmental circles and even more brashly from those focused on clean energy: given the shift in public priorities and the state of politics, shoul...

Should we even bother talking about #climatechange? YES! Research from Potential Energy confirms that the most effective messaging focuses on what people stand to lose because of #climate chaos. More confirmation of the need for compassionate #values in #EnvComm.

Trump standing over an overflowing toilet hoping no one has seen the shit-storm mess he has caused.

Yeah, you know things are bad when you realize that you'd rather read about #climate chaos than Trump/Musk chaos.

Pierre Poilievre's rage-baiting and empty slogans aren't what Canada needs.

I’m old enough to remember when our economy was the envy of the world. Manufacturing taking off. Unemployment low. Inflation troubling but lower than elsewhere. We were leaders in global health, foreign aid, scientific research. We had allies. 2 weeks is a long time.

Handy dandy guide with the right advice.

I can't stop watching this.

This is pretty damning for her campaign, at least among those of us who want climate crisis action not more petro-pandering from our leaders.

How cool is that! Our metal roof sheets were 42' long and the semi delivering them took the wrong street (Google Maps fail) where it could not turn around. It was a long reverse for that poor driver.

True enough, but it's not like actual journalists don't make mistakes or get fooled by bad actors sometimes, AND it's not like social media can't be a source for excellent information sometimes.
