👀According to this chart from Climate Change Tracker, it was only in 1966 that Canada's CO2 emissions from Fossil Fuels surpassed its CO2 emissions from Land Use.

Sure, right.

Fortress Am-Can promised the Republicans otherwise.

Ford says no one in Canada is scrutinized like he is after backtracking on $28.9M private jet purchase | CBC News Ontario Premier Doug Ford told reporters Monday that "no one in the country" is more scrutinized than he is, as he explained his government's rationale for buying a $28.9-million private jet before qu...

I just can't with Ford playing the victim here.
1) You're a fucking premier. Of course your moves are being scrutinized!
2) Premiers get away with murder (or negligent homicide at the very least). You get so much less scrutiny than is actually warranted. Just stop.

The concept that Canadians don’t understand successive governments have taken our natural resources and sold them to private foreign companies…

Creating a humanoid robot that can catch you no matter how fast you can run does not actually give the comfort the manufacturer intended.

It Was on Your Table Every Morning Growing Up. It’s Dying Before Our Eyes. No One Wants to Face It. The powerhouse of American citrus is suffering a brutal decline. Everyone has a theory about why.

This is a nightmare: the destruction of Florida's orange industry. Tariffs, drought, deep freezes and a bacteria that is destroying the trees. They have lost 95% of production since 2003.
3/4s of growers are out of business. This is the dangerous eco-future staring us.

Eby met with First Nation leaders today, but they can't discuss it because of an NDA (BC uses NDAs with First Nations A LOT).

​A digital article screenshot from CBC News titled Here is the 'experiment' NDP Leader Avi Lewis is trying to run in Canadian politics. The subtitle notes that Lewis is calling for fundamental structural changes during his first Ottawa visit. Below the headline is a photo of Avi Lewis smiling in a suit, standing between two Canadian flags. The bottom half of the image features a pull quote where Lewis argues that the first-past-the-post system causes people to vote defensively or strategically. He concludes by stating that proportional representation is needed to restore faith in democracy and allow people to vote for what they believe in.

Appreciate @avilewis.ca bringing the case for proportional representation back to Ottawa.

Breaking the cycle of defensive voting is the only way to modernize our democracy. It is time to make every vote count.

Stupid Doug Ford owned that private jet for two days before deciding to sell.

Millions will be wasted in brokerage, licensing, legal and other fees.

He should pay every last dollar out of his own pocket.

Happy 80th birthday to the fab Tim Curry, pictured with Rocky Horror creator, Richard O'Brien as Riff Raff & Patricia Quinn as Magenta. I once interviewed O'Brien who said that Frank n' Furter was a reflection of his own diverse sexuality. For moderns who like absolutes -sometimes there aren't any.
