“The government is telling major emitters they must cut pollution while paying them not to.”
Noa Wynn on Australia’s $67 billion climate betrayal
Trump is the world’s most dangerous and corrupt gangster. The world is turning against the United States. Imagine, the UK is turning against us. Canada is working around us. We are pariahs. youtube.com/shorts/TEYXo...
I’m not saying, but I’m just saying…
If you pick a fight with Canada AND the Pope…
You might be an asshole.
To fill the void the NDP currently occupies, Lewis has to make a decisive choice between one of two paths. The first was taken by Zohran Mamdani, whose rise to the New York mayor’s office has been heralded as a rare win for the American left. In his first 100 days, Mamdani mostly eschewed the culture wars that circled him and, instead, focused relentlessly on achieving a concrete agenda for his constituents: tackle rent control, lower the cost of child care, food and transit, and prioritize effective service delivery (best reflected in his recent pothole-filling blitz). If Lewis takes a similarly practical approach—de-emphasizing social progressivism in favour of a straightforward economically populist message, centred on lowering costs for the working class and raising taxes on the wealthy—he could craft a strategy that plays as well in Toronto’s Spadina riding as it does in Skeena.
Oh FFS.
Stop invoking Mamdani. In Canada, these are all provincial and municipal responsibilities. The federal NDP can do pretty much none of it, even if they dramatically increased transfers.

The populists would have us believe that we inhabit a world careening toward collapse. Unsurprisingly, they have it exactly wrong. We are not at the beginning of the end of western democracy; with the election of Carney’s majority government we are end of the beginning of Canada’s greatest era.
Property destruction liberated us from the British. Property destruction contributed to ending slavery. Property destruction gave us the weekend, the 8-hour work day, the 40-hour work week. Property destruction drove France out of Haiti. Property destruction contributed to voting for all.

The way I'm reading this, I cut my chances of dying from a treatable condition nearly in half by coming to Australia.
“When it comes to our resources and our national interest, Australia cannot be meek.
“It cannot be timid.
“And Australia needs to step up and do the same.”

Nerds make things so fun. Also, the British not considering themselves European tickles me. "I no black" for white people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbkY...
"What a ridiculous position for Australia to be in," says Australia Institute co-CEO Dr Richard Denniss.
"Having exported enormous amounts of gas to these countries for decades, are we really being threatened now?"

The fertiliser from Brunei helps grow the food we buy, and drive our economy.
That's why I'm here, to help secure what our farmers need to keep Australia moving.

youtu.be/2mdC7B32-S0?... Prime Minister Carney hasn't stopped in the last 12 months. He is always travelling building Canadian trade. #Cdnpol #Canada
Péter Magyar is no savior. He is a former insider of Orbán’s own circle, a playboy from one of Hungary’s most powerful families, whose rapid rise reads like a trashy soap opera: sordid affairs, a bitter divorce from his wife, blackmail, extortion, and backroom deals.
A CBC News secret shopping investigation has uncovered — once again — several Loblaw-owned and Sobeys-affiliated stores overcharging for underweight meat, despite claims last year the grocery giants had taken steps to rectify the problem.

Australia's NEM smashed its daily battery discharge record on Monday.
16 GWh, up from 13 GWh on Feb 10.
For context, the original Hornsdale big battery was 129 MWh, so 16 GWh is equivalent to fully discharging Hornsdale 124 times!
Possibly another 10 GWh discharged from pumped hydro.

Australia's gas exports rose by $48 BILLION in a decade.
In that same decade, revenue from the petroleum resources rent tax FELL by $450 million.
The PRRT is broken. This is why Australia needs a 25% gas export tax.

Off chance someone might know… are there any witchy scent based companies in Canada? A friend and I are looking at heretic and black pheonix alchemy (which i love) but we’re both worried about customs/tarrifs right now 🫠Finding a local company to try would be awesome
If it can happen in Hungary, it can happen in America. The most corrupt, depraved, and morally bankrupt president in US history is going to get annihilated in the 2026 midterms. Watch it happen. 🙌🙏💪👏✊️👇
