"It appears the government is saying producers are unable to contain costs and drive efficiency and innovations without the government intervening."
You don't say.
Breaking: In a technical briefing document obtained by the Star, the province is proposing to end curbside collection of flexible plastics and overflow material in bales or bags.
They knew burning oil was making us sick and heating the planet โ but lied to keep doing it.
They knew plastic could get into our bodies โ but increased plastic production >200X since 1950.
There is no question Big Oil CEOs are mass murderers.
The question is: Are Big Oil CEOs serial killers?
๐จ"Internal memos among company scientists and executives obtained by The Times reveal that for at least half a century, the plastics industry has been aware of and concerned about the potential for microplastic contamination in the human body."
That's part of the grift. If he talks about gasoline, he's poking the big public wound. The farmers and truckers are more in the shadows. Plus, it was a way to cut back Russian sanctions and get American taxpayer dollars to Putin.
He's a shitty, shitty, shithead, and I hate him.

Code: y-Axis Alert!
Yesterday's Nino 3.4 preliminary sea-surface temperature anomaly set a new record high, at 3.48ยฐC above the 1991-2020 baseline. To clearly show this anomaly, the y-axis max was raised to 4.0ยฐC.
Attention historians: this is gobsmackingly bananas.
Mark Carney on Elon Musk throttling Starlink: "I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision or group of people took this decision against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of the citizens against naked aggression."
Awful. If only the US hadn't put in such draconian laws that made her fear she would be put in a US gulag for the crime of trying to access health care...
Allowing one unelected man to have control over crucial aspects of the US military, allied militaries, the US space program, and so many other aspects of human life is absolutely insane. We were stupid to allow this to happen and it must be fixed ASAP.
Netanyahu denies that this Washington Post reporter, Heidi Levine, was attacked by Israeli settlers.
She sustained:
Four broken vertebrae
Two broken ribs
Four puncture wounds
She was knocked to the ground and repeatedly beaten!
She said that Palestinian youth saved her during the settler attack.
Toronto advocates are putting their bodies on the line to protect a bike lane the province wants to rip out - and and to fight a wave of anti-bike lane sentiment that this writer warns is sweeping the whole continent.

Patriot interceptors that NATO allies paid for are awaiting Pete Hegsethโs signature while Russia strikes Ukraineโs power grid. Ukraine has almost none left and gets 12 a month from US stocks. Rubio says the batch may be held under review.
"With a seeming flick of a switch, Musk has the power to alter the course of a deadly conflict. "
Nobody should have that kind of power

I wish I didn't believe this to be true. If it is, I feel like the Stelco situation shouldn't be just divestiture but jail time for the corporate assholes.
"A fourth person has been arrested at a protest against the removal of bike lanes in Etobicoke.... The arrest comes as dozens of people continue to protest daily against the Ontario government's work to rip out bike lanes on a 1.2-kilometre section of Bloor Street W."
For fuck's sake.This idiot shouldn't be given a platform if all he can do is parrot US propaganda.
... Oh, of course. He's not even talking to Canadians. He's talking to Fox Opinions.
On eve of Alberta referendum vote, separatist leader alleges โcover upโ in deadly CFB Wainwright tragedy
Alberta separatist leader Jeffrey Rath makes unsubstantiated claims that โDEI programsโ and โgender fluidโ soldiers may be to blame in CFB Wainwright tragedy
Alberta goes to the polls today, to decide whether the province should separate from Canada. The fact that it's even happening is nothing less than psychological warfare, waged by damn liars.

The crowd absolutely erupts when Carney says the Pacific Link pipeline will reduce Canada's dependence on the U.S.
Mark Carney: "Careful. They might think that's election interference. They're a little touchy down there. We're not. We're getting on with it."
Has anybody taken the sticker off the signs and photographed the contractor's logo. It's all so telling. Keep that name alive (Verdi Alliance or their subcontractor)
The details donโt really matter, whether itโs Trump or Musk or some combination of the two behind the decision to hobble Ukraineโs use of Starshield. The result is the same: Trump has now fully taken the side of Russia in its war on Ukraine. Itโs as
This level of policing to make sure they can get rid of the bike lanes. But no policing power when it was the convoy.
Yes, Toronto vs Ottawa, but it seems to me this level of policing only happens because the province made it happen.
They then called in a โpublic orderโ unit and blocked off the whole street causing congestion.
Apparently you need an overkill amount to intimidate people with a cane and wheelchair.
THREAD: Bloor West bike lane protest day 2
This thing that pissing me off the most is that Toronto Police are supposed to keep Torontonians safe. At least let the OPP do the province's dirty work.
Why am I paying for the TPS to go against the cityโs wishes?
If anyone was skeptical, "Musk disables Ukraine's Starlink terminals during a major Russian attack" is a pretty strong argument to get US oligarch tech out of our governments (and out of everywhere else.)
Why isnโt there an alternative 4 years into the war? These lessons will be extremely painful for anyone relying on the mood of someone whose dream is to catch the mood of the aggressor. I understand diplomacy, but I donโt understand ignorance.
It's time to take immediate action to halt RFK Jr.โs malicious and harmful study, which will intentionally withhold life-saving Hepatitis B vaccine from thousands of newborns in Guinea-Bissau.
Congrats to Toronto cyclists! I'm pretty sure this is going to be a long and difficult protest/protection of the lanes, so I hope that you can hold out longer than Doug Ford, who wants to waste everyone's money.
