Building Canada Strong means building a Canada that does not rely on fossil fuels. A win for our pocket books and a win for a livable planet.

Oil industry leaders are putting economy, environment at risk, says former minister Catherine McKenna Oil and gas production only sector in Canada to increase greenhouse gas emissions in 2024, inventory shows

"(Here in Canada) oil and gas, which is largely foreign-owned, largely U.S.-owned, aren’t doing their part. (Instead)...increasing our emissions and ...demanding that Canadian taxpayers pay the bill for cleaning up the pollution they cause and building pipelines they won’t risk their own money on.”

If you follow Jesus because you’re afraid of hell more than you love Jesus, you’re not really following Jesus.

And you end up creating hell for others on earth.

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.

The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Police say former Virginia lieutenant governor, wife dead in murder-suicide Police in Virginia say Justin Fairfax, the state’s former lieutenant governor, shot and killed his wife and then fatally shot himself.

I bet we could do the same here in Canada. Reducing our reliance on fossil fuels while taking advantage of the massive spaces allocated to parking lots is a win-win.

Gas tax breaks are bandaids at best. Real solution is to help low & middle-income Cdns get off fossil fuels. Invest in solar, heat pumps, batteries, EVs. Tackle barriers, offer real incentives & fund w/ windfall tax on Big Oil (who are laughing all the way to the bank). Cleaner, cheaper, healthier.

COVID really messes up our senses of taste, smell, hearing and balance. This is not good at all.
COVID is bad for your brain, nose, tongue and ears.
Don’t get COVID.
Get vaccinated.
Wear an N95 in all indoor public spaces.
Clean the air we all breathe.

Same text as in post. Via @UBIWorks.bsky.social #UBI #UniversalBasicincome

“Basic income has been shown to reduce health care costs, including an 8.5% reduction in hospitalizations. As Dr. Danielle Martin [the newly elected Liberal MP in today’s by-election] has so pointedly said, “If we discovered a drug that reduced hospitalizations by 8.5%, we’d put it in the water.”

Canada has majority government. Hold them to account, & don’t forget Carney’s invitation.

Never Normalize Genocide

If politicians actually cared about protecting children or their constituents they'd nationalize (or at least regulate) social media companies.

Instead they allow big tech to operate without oversight in exchange for ID laws that harvest even more data from users.

It's why big tech is pushing it

If it turned my peppercorns into gold...otherwise my bargain basement model will suffice

Snort.
Is there a clip with the Dartmouth General ring cutter? Trump would likely pocket the ring.

They supported an adjudicated rapist but get bent over a picture...

Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán concedes defeat in a European electoral earthquake Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has conceded defeat after what he called a ″painful″ election result, ending 16 years in power for a dominant figure in the far-right movement allied with U.S.

In good news, the ruler of Hungary for the last 16 years, Victor Orbán, was defeated today. Orbán is one of the main writers of the authoritarian playbook, featuring great replacement theory. The campaigning of Trump and Vance failed. Hungarians gave humanity hope.

Investment in renewable energy, not fossil fuels, is how to build Canada strong. There is no planet B, we must be good stewards of the earth we share.

So sorry to read about this loss - pets are such important members of a family

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

The untold danger of unchecked capitalism Economic policy often assumes that individuals are rational, emotionless actors - but people don’t always behave the way markets expect them to

“a fixed menu of neoliberal prescriptions – low taxes, deregulation, minimal government – is not the solution to every economic problem.“
Yes. Unfortunately, as John Kenneth Galbraith would say, our leaders (ie, Mark Carney) remain in thrall to the conventional wisdom of neoclassical economics.🎁

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.

I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Canada is not a business. Defunding MMIWG is disgraceful.

@mark-carney.bsky.social
I agree with Brent Toderian 100%.
Canada is embarrassingly slow in adopting renewable energy. I just watched a video of battery charging for EVs that is as fast as pumping gas. I sighed. Why can't we have nice things?

Money well spent.

Canada needs to condemn the Israeli government's horrific war crimes and genocidal actions in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Iran.

Uggg ... he and his sycophants need to be removed from office & prosecuted in the Hague
