Hundreds of homes were just destroyed by climate change fueled wildfires in BC. Looks like something out of a war movie. No mention from any politicians in Alberta or the federal government. Maybe they should give the victims a I ❤️ AB Oil sticker. 🤬

Canada and UAE have concluded negotiations on Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) — fastest trade deal negotiated by the two countries. PM Carney and President Sheikh Mohamed also agreed to deepen cooperation on energy, critical minerals, infrastructure, AI, and regional security.

A company that would experiment on its own users like this, and obfuscated what it was doing, is not one that will abide by any "duty to act responsibly." @ntusikov.bsky.social and I lay out exactly why not in this Policy Options piece. policyoptions.irpp.org/2026/07/bill...

Canada can’t regulate Big Tech by trusting Big Tech

"Everything is for sale under Trump" sounds an awful lot like Canada under Prime Minister Carney. I'm sure it's just a coincidence. /s

Trump is rolling out yet another key plank of Project 2025: privatizing airport security. History has shown us time and again this makes both workers and passengers less safe. Everything is for sale under Trump.

Every single Liberal MP who hasn't left the party in disgust should be ashamed of themselves. But they won't be. You need to have pre-existing ethics and morals to actually be ashamed of yourself for breaking them. I cannot believe how shitty our leaders are right now. It's beyond belief.

This is O&G disinformation. To pretend carbon removal is viable is to ignore how little carbon it captures and how temporarily it stores it. Canada's emissions from wildfires in 2023 matched all the emissions of India. The scale of the two are worlds apart. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

I think MPs should have to be in office the same number of days as other public servants. They like their hybrid arrangements? Then everyone else gets them too. And I think voting on legislation from their phones should be illegal, and the fact that any MPs have done it should be a massive scandal.

Imagine if Vancouver did this. Transit creates enormous increases in property value. At least some of that should fund transit.

New York City could pay for the completion of the Interborough Express by itself if its leaders are willing to take a piece of the higher property values that the transit expansion will bring, and put that money back into the IBX. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/08/04/b...

While a cyclospora explosive diarrhea outbreak is repeatedly linked with a 20% cut to US CDC & food inspection staff, it's wild how many LPC apologists casually dismiss Carney cuts to wildfire monitoring & food inspection with a derisive "of course the unions complain about increasing efficiency."
