Our planetary boundaries are being breached by cars and cows It may be a simplistic view, but it seems that almost every critical process is affected by them.

Cars and cows converge in the cornfields, consuming 75% of the entire crop. They dominate almost every planetary boundary. lloydalter.substack.com/p/our-planet...

Wait until the fertilizer and aluminum shocks hit a few weeks later.

i saw that in the Guardian and choked.

its empty now.

C.P.R. North Toronto Station - The Grand & Iconic Landmark The former C.P.R. North Toronto Station is a stunning landmark. Built in 1916, today the restored gem is home to the Summerhill LCBO...

Why Union Station may not be a stop on Canada’s new high-speed rail line — Toronto Star Some of the biggest questions surrounding Canada's proposed high-speed passenger rail line remain unanswered.

Summerhill! Beautiful station, lots of tracks, better than a liquor store and Rosedale will go insane. It’s perfect.

If you think Doug Ford using taxpayer funds to buy his private jet is unrelated to his trying to have jets fly from Toronto's Island Airport, I've got a failed private waterfront spa at Ontario Place, a shuttered Science Centre, and a tunnel under the 401 to sell you.

Paging (and paraphrasing) Stanley Jevons: “It is wholly a confusion to suppose that more efficient chips lead to diminished consumption. The very contrary is the truth.”

why is it almost always an Audi?

At what point do people in Ontario rise up and say, we have no hospitals or schools, and you are buying jets so you can fly from the Toronto islands to Muskoka, and this is too fucking much? You can only buy so many ads and buy off so many drivers, before it is too fucking much

What will AI do to the baby boomers? I have been playing with Claude. I worry that it is seductive and powerful and will make phone addiction look quaint.

After a retired journalist wrote about how he and his wife had become addicted to their phones, I wondered what will happen when vast numbers of baby boomers get addicted to AI. I think it is going to be a very big problem.

Hey Canadians, this is a huge issue. This mine will pump out millions of gallons of sulphuric acid that will flow into Quetico Park, Rainy River, right up to Lake Winnipeg. It's 40km from the border. It could be Sudbury all over again for Canadian lakes. And our governments are doing nothing. read:

why did you do this it is going to be in my head all evening.

I love the juxtaposition: “renewables no longer the expensive option” on the left, Doug Enbridge promising new pipelines on the right. Thousands spent on ads every day.

How a copper mine in Minnesota threatens a major Ontario provincial park Why are we hearing nothing from provincial or federal governments?

We don’t have to schlep 20,000 tonnes of rock every day to extract the half a percent of copper in it while acidifying the Quetico-Superior watershed. This is just stupid.

How a copper mine in Minnesota threatens a major Ontario provincial park Why are we hearing nothing from provincial or federal governments?

A Chilean company wants to build a giant copper mine next to the Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness and 40km from Quetico Provincial Park. "There has never been a mine of this kind that did not leach toxic pollution." Protests from Canadian provincial and federal governments? Crickets.

Do @thestar.com headline writers really not know the difference between rein and reign?

Pedestrian hit by three cars, road workers hit, fire hydrant taken out, Toronto drivers are hopeless, but let’s ban speed cameras!

I also played the artful dodger at 12 or 13 and belted out “consider yourself at home!” In a Toronto church auditorium, I am impressed.

I don't know why Canada or Ontario isn't saying anything about this; it is essentially Quetico Provincial Park south of the border. What happens here affects us too.

absolutely that was a scandal.

Depends on how you look at the stats, and I am talking demogaphics here, with the coming explosion of 80+ drivers

This is why I now call him Doug Enbridge. From the rolling back of green standards to the expansion of pipelines, there is more going on here than meets the eye.

That's what I do too!

Many older drivers don't see the road ahead A survey shows that most have not thought about what will happen when they can't drive anymore.

A recent survey confirms that most older drivers are not prepared for the inevitable day when they have to hang up the car keys. And with the demographic time bomb that's coming, there are going to be millions of them. lloydalter.substack.com/p/many-older...

Doug Ford's tunnel under highway 401 would pay for the whole damn thing

Meanwhile, in Doug Enbridge's Ontario....

This is a very Canadian thing- if the Aussies are interested in you, then you must be important!

Earlier, I missed the juxtaposition of the front page interview of @hannahritchie.bsky.social and the third page, where Doug Enbridge stomps on cities and rolls back green building standards.
