Convo at the grocery store: “Do you ride your bike every day?” “Most days.” “I see you with it. In my country, I wasn’t allowed to ride bikes. Because woman. I’m going to learn to ride. When I do, I’m going to tell you.” — Thanks for telling me your story, Bahar. (I live for these moments.)
Another community burned to the ground. But yes let’s build another pipeline.

You got played, Canada. Some of us called it every step of the way. You can blame the greasiest of politicians but also blame so much of our national media that failed us in every possible way on this file. #AxeTheTax #CarbonTax #cdnpoli #abpoli #ClimateChange #MarkCarney
The lies and disinformation about #ClimateChange are constant. Don’t be fooled, and help call them out.

Importing 49,000 Chinese EVs isn’t the biggest threat to Canada’s auto sector — over-reliance on the U.S. is. Diversifying our auto sector by growing the availability of low-cost EVs is key to strengthening the industry’s long-term resilience. #cdnpoli #EVs More in @thewalrus.ca 📰👉 buff.ly/xOEFnZX

"The ones being built now have 10 times the capacity of what's come before, which is driving up concerns about the land, water, and energy they consume." "Alberta is at the epicentre with available energy, streamlined regulations, and open arms by the government" If Smith ❤️s it, it's fucking bad.🤬

What Happens When Speed Cameras Get Shut Off
In 2025, Ontario banned automated traffic enforcement. Now the number of drivers exceeding the speed limit has surged, according to traffic data.

"I support cyclists and their right to ride safely on the road but only if they follow the rules all of the time" is an absolutely unhinged thing to say in a country where we have drivers killing tens of thousands of people each year and speeding while playing on your phone is normal and accepted

Mark Carney described the carbon budget in his book, published in 2021: “The carbon budget to limit temperature rises to below catastrophic levels is rapidly being exhausted. If we had started in 2000, we could have hit the 1.5 C objective by halving emissions every 30 years. Now, we ..
