Good time to have a PM who believes climate strategies are too expensive.

Avi Lewis just won the NDP leadership, and the worst people on the internet are having an absolute meltdown. I think that might be a good sign — because there are very specific, exciting reasons why he pisses them off. Let me tell you all about them:

Yikes.

Alberta electricity company Capital Power has successfully lobbied the Mark Carney government to drop clean-energy regulations, clearing the path forward for the development of their gas-powered AI data centre. Journalist Taylor C. Noakes explores: https://ow.ly/XM7b50Yzsyb

"According to research from Just Peace Advocates, in fiscal 2025 the CPP invested $27 billion CAD in companies complicit in Israel’s genocide in Gaza and apartheid in the West Bank."

Amidst ongoing staggering suffering, Israel bans 37 humanitarian organizations from Gaza, including some of the world's most respected aid groups. Needless to say = complete opposite of ending genocide. Canada & other states complain, but do nothing.

Exactly. And if anyone is looking for more comparisons, roads.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Dr. Tarek Loubani, who is in Gaza right now, was invited to give a talk to emergency workers about the attacks on health care facilities in Gaza. But he was instructed - get this - not to say who was doing the attacking. Take a look at how this hero of a human responded: vimeo.com/1112115018/c...

Only a few days left to take this questionnaire and write in your own answers to let this Liberal government know that you don't actually want them to be a conservative government.

Mary Gillis@marygillis.bsky.social

The government of Canada has a questionnaire about it's new budget. Most of the given options are conservative (because this is a conservative government) but there are some that aren't, and you can write in your own responses. www.canada.ca/en/departmen...

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Minister Jeremy Harrison has just directed SaskPower to rebuild its coal-fired power plants and continue running them past 2030. The letter directs SaskPower to begin by putting Boundary Dam unit 4 back in service. This decision is problematic for many, many reasons and I list some of them below:

This terrific program!

In an interesting development, the microsoft email with one of the universities I work for has just now started "quarantining" emails sent to me from Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East.

Thinking of people in East Vancouver and beyond after the terrible attack last night on the Lapu Lapu festival. This is a good time for all of us to work even harder for peace and safety for everyone.
