It contains poetry by George Elliott Clarke, a wonderful short story by Elaine McCluskey, and "Long Leash" by me, which is a story of infidelity, loyalty and sacrifice, as told by a dog.

Dalhousie's natural gas program gets interest from 7 companies | CBC News Officials at Dalhousie University have received submissions from seven companies interested in exploratory onshore natural gas projects in Nova Scotia.

This is bad news. Also i think every article that mentions our $1.2 B deficit should also note that it was created by the current government. And they just keep digging. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Interest in EVs surges in Europe as fuel prices jump after Iran war Demand at online marketplaces could settle at a new, higher normal, with the crisis leaving consumers ‘scarred’

End of America, end of everything.

"20 yrs ago the world took a year to add 1 gigawatt of solar.
Now it takes just half a day.

Solar costs have fallen by around 90% over past decade, & as costs fall, installations accelerate.

Nowhere is this clearer than in China 🇨🇳. It now accounts for well over half of global solar installations"

Same shit different century
Here we go again
It's no parade seeing tanks on your street
What's the mission, when’s it gonna end
How many stones do we have to line up before we understand
We’re caught up drawing lines on paper, at the price of the blood in the sand

Living life of course also makes it hard to find time to write. AI solves that problem by doing it in an instant. But, like a tv dinner, what's the value of that really?

How to grow the electricity system affordably We will not grow our electricity system affordably if our strategy is narrowly focused on physical infrastructure and risky megaprojects.

An Energy War is Raging. The Last Thing Canada Needs is More Fossil Fuel Production. The Middle East war is the excuse du jour for new oil and gas exports. But with the energy shock driving importing countries to ditch fossil fuels, Canada must prepare for the industry's decline.

🧵Canadian politicians pushing pipelines in 2026 are just flat out wrong

"There is every reason to believe that the war will accelerate the fossil fuel decline that was already under way before the missiles & drones began to fly across the Middle East" energymixweekender.substack.com/p/an-energy-...

You know how they say the right will destroy the world while the left argues over which sandwiches to order? Certain Western NDP leaders just manifested that shit and demonstrated fear of having a rash progressive leader.
