Had a chance to watch "Speechless" on CBC this weekend. I have questions, but it was an interesting enough analysis about how the left and right clash over the questions of free expression on American campuses. It is worth a discussion, for sure.

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...

Alberta rejects commission’s proposed changes to province’s electoral map Government to propose motion to create MLA-controlled committee to redraw map, fuelling accusations of gerrymandering

This is nuts. Smith is setting this process up to cement UCP hegemony for a decade.

Marking while watching the Jays is a spring tradition. This year I’m getting so much more marking done though because there is NO HITTING!!

$30m an hour: big oil reaping huge war windfall from consumers, analysis finds Exclusive: Climate action blockers including Saudi Arabia, Russia and major fossil fuel firms set to make extra $234bn by end of 2026

So rather than tax windfall profits, the Liberals, the Conservatives, and several leaders of the provincial NDP are calling for or lowering the gas tax rate, depriving public coffers of needed revenue to address climate change.

Honestly seeing Orban get swept into the dustbin of history is the best news in ages. Kudos to the Hungarian voters for their courage in this moment.

ANALYSIS | First Nations' court challenge may block Alberta separatism itself, not just petition drive | CBC News The argument lawyers are making: since treaties are between Indigenous people and Canada, a province trying to leave would be ripping up treaties.

The white nationalism at the centre of Alberta separatism continues to ignore the legitimacy of Indigenous sovereignty. This should be the end of Alberta sovereignty in its current form.

Avi Lewis is the political conscience we need right now It would be a mistake to assume the disapproval of provincial NDP in the West is a sign that Lewis will not be able to breathe new life into the moribund party.

"As our federal government lists to the right, we need an aspirational conscience to push hard for a course correct. Avi Lewis is just the leader for that."

They clearly despise the base of the party and think and contempt for those that believe the NDP should stand for something.

utting aside that the Alberta NDP were "irrelevant" for most of its history, the contempt that the professional consulting class demonstrates for the base of the party is something else.

These "NDPers" engage in an ahistorical, red-baiting analysis that boils down to the sophisticated observation that the federal party is "irrelevant."

When journalists ask questions like this, do they hear themselves? It is an ideological position they're promoting. They surely must see this.

I just watched the replay of the Jays game. I knew they won and I was still worried when Hoffman came on to pitch in the 9th.

Arrrh. The one game I don’t watch so far this season and the Jays snap their losing streak. Maybe that isn’t a coincidence.
