What the hell?

Does Carney’s Gas Tax Cut Send the Wrong Signals? | The Tyee Experts warn that suspending Canada’s fuel tax offers limited, ill-targeted relief.

Canada's gas tax has sparked a debate about how to respond to the global oil supply shock.

Are gas prices themselves the problem, or is there a poison pill in Canada's economy (its major dependence on fossil fuels)?

My latest for @thetyee.ca

🚨ATTENTION CANADIANS🚨

A Canada-wide petition (e-7340) is now open for signatures.

It calls on the federal government to prevent a proposed Alberta sovereignty referendum, citing concerns about constitutional stability and national unity.

A lot of people don't know what Neoliberal means, so "Conservative" will have to do. 😉

Fish shit in it, and there are too many humans upstream...

Great read, disturbing read. Don't expect Danielle Smith to condemn this.

"Silver WHAT?"

A good lesson on why honesty is the best way to stay sane.

I'm just glad this story is getting traction. It's been out there for a while.

It still could be really interesting, and maybe the audience would learn about their own priors.

Like Murc's Law in reverse?

(I don't know why this got removed from Wikipedia, because it's a useful idea in reverse too.)

What form do those organizations take? Are they like a political party? Or like a public-facing information collective? I'm not too worried about the words.

Still boggles my mind how unserious Canada is about disinformation, considering the deleterious effect it is having on almost every aspect of our society. I’ve had serious conversations with serious people about it, and their eyes glaze over.

A powerful piece from Rachel Notley on the UCP’s plans to rig the map for our next election.

“It has to stop here. If we allow politicians to rig elections, then we will be giving them carte blanche to do anything they want.

No politician should ever hold that power.” 1/2 #abpoli

Canada's long-term problem: faced with an unstable/potentially expansionist United States, we don't have an empire backing us up this time. Joining the EU is a comforting but unworkable attempt to process & deal with this very unpleasant reality.
But pro-EU Canadians aren't the only ones doing this.

Meanwhile, virtually every Canadian governmental official (with the exception of our privacy commissioner) is not only not questioning the legality of X becoming the largest CSAM and non-consensual porn site on the internet, they continue to support the site by posting there.

Alberta committee on 'Forever Canada' petition marred with accusations of delaying process An Alberta committee tasked with reviewing a former politician's citizen-led petition was marred with accusations of delaying the process.

When your provincial government delays discussions about a petition signed by almost half a million people who want to remain in Canada, you can't help but question its allegiance to our country.

Danielle Smith's UCP is behaving exactly how 5th columnists in countries that neighbor authoritarian regimes behave, right before they invite an invasion.
And once upon a time I'd have thought myself paranoid for writing something like that.

3 UCP legislature committee members forced a vote through to deny me, the proponent of #ForeverAlberta petition, Alberta’s largest ever petition, to appear before the committee and speak on behalf of the nearly 500,000 Albertans.

This is another move to assist the separatists.

“This is not going to address the problems that we have with access. The govt is in charge of access and they could open up different facilities to reduce the backlog, but instead they’re going this approach and I think that’s unfortunate.”
@albertadoctors.bsky.social president Dr. Brian Wirzba.

“And anyone who wants it is unfit to govern in a province or country as great and as (still) democratic as ours.”

Fascinating story by @charlesrusnell.bsky.social on intersection of AI and foreign interference in Alberta’s separation campaign. It raises many troubling questions. Who is paying for AI slop disinformation? And who is consuming it? And how on earth can those on the No side compete? #ableg #abpoli

What kind of alternative democratic institutions? Parties?

Great op-ed from one of our campaign organizers 👏👏👏

Opinion: Public costs grow with latest cleanup fee for orphan wells AER is making decisions that put profit margins of oil and gas companies before the interests of Albertans and the land we depend on.

Yet again, the AER is making decisions that put the profit margins of oil and gas companies before the interests of ordinary Albertans and the land that we depend on. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli #YYC #YEG @cuym-alberta.bsky.social

FYI, folks.

Markham explains in plain language a new global energy system is emerging and no - he is not talking about more oil and gas pipelines- but electrons as electric everything is emerging.
