Why not vote for responsible government if your argument is always the Lesser Evil?

Doug Ford driving a gravy train off a cliff.

Remember the promise? A very early Doug Ford Gravy Train cartoon from at least five years ago. The new transport has the nickname Gravy Plane. #DougFord #gravy #onpoli

""I will be 41": Teens wonder why it's going to take Hamilton 25 years to build a basketball court" Underneath "Ontario government buys $28.9M private jet for Doug Ford's use"

Shot, chaser.

I found this trying to find info about Ontario's water bombers.

Apparently there's been a pilot shortage since last year. I can find no evidence it's been resolved.

Money might be better spent ensuring we can put out forest fires than whatever this new jet is supposed to be a solution to.

How can we forget that the Doug Ford Government started these Yellow Rain warnings….

The Hormuz War Will End — The Atlantic And when it does, a rare window for bold collective action will open.

An interesting read for whatever side of the argument you sit on. The problem can be solved without wars.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Why do I think this isn't totally delusional? Trump getting a cut from Strait tolls makes as much sense as him & his cronies benefiting from the ups & downs in the stock/gambling markets they've created through threats, bombings and tariffs - not to mention his growing gold trinket bribe collection.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Looking at the forecast perhaps umbrellas and dry socks would help.

No winter isn't over in #ldnont just yet. So still topical even if it is 'warm' today. But we have solved some cold weather housing problems just in time for Spring.

Donald Trump, without any doubt, has command responsibility for a number of crimes under the subject matter jurisdiction of the ICC. But I really wish people would give up on their “The Hague!” fantasies. The ICC does NOT have jurisdiction over crimes committed on the territory of Iran. 1/2

Jumping over the moon

From April 3 2023, local boy Jeremy Hansen jumps over the moon.

I’m not sure Trickle Down has ever worked. Doug Ford will just put this in his general secret slush fund. Day care money? Healthcare funding? Speed cams gone from school zones? The middle man here can’ be trusted.

The Feds fund as they are constitutionally obliged to. The Provinces manage those funds.

Crocuses

Nice day. Doing some light yard work. Can't say how wonderful it is just to sit on the porch in some decent weather.

This whole concept in LOTR is one of my favourite parts of the whole book. “Evil fucks up because evil people fundamentally cannot imagine that others are not motivated by the same things as them” is another theme that feels relevant right now

5m tonnes of CO2 emitted in just 14 days of US war on Iran, analysis finds Exclusive: War in the Middle East is draining the global carbon budget faster than 84 countries combined

The US-Israel war on Iran has emitted 5 million tonnes of CO₂ₑ in its first 14 days. The world currently has 0.6 million tonnes of novel and permanent CO₂ removal (CDR) capacity annually.

Before-and-after green street transformation in Paris

Transformation of urban Square into forest in front of Paris City Hall

Street transformation of “School Street“ in central Paris, including greening

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted, and 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.

Keep going with this, Paris.

Wondering if a mayor can say this kind of thing and still be re-elected? Miguel Anxo Fernández Lores is still the Mayor of Pontevedra Spain, has been the Mayor since 1999, and has been elected six times. #UrbanTruth #Leadership

No one ever went to war over solar energy.

Putin, Trump, Poilievre, Ford, Carney speak slogans.
