I believe in humanity. Skeptical about humans. liberal democracy is the best humanist system of government so far devised. I am centrist because I eschew ideology in favour evidence-based decision making. #factsmatter Lists, ad hominem => block

On the Saturday of a long weekend, Carney’s government quietly took a major step forward in its push to build a new oil pipeline to West Coast. Even as Canada burns, they plan to allow the project to ignore VERY IMPORTANT rules so they can Build Baby Build. But you can have a say about it!

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."

Hear, hear‼️ Health misinformation erodes autonomy‼️ Vaccine mis- and disinformation isn’t just a threat to public health, but also to our autonomy theconversation.com/vaccine-mis-... "If we value autonomy for what it really means ... we must take action to address mis- and disinformation."

Vaccine mis- and disinformation isn’t just a threat to public health, but also to our autonomy

When we are mis- or disinformed, it is difficult to act with autonomy. We may make decisions that do not align with our beliefs, even when we seem to be acting voluntarily.

@bigclimate.bsky.social @calgaryclimatehub.ca @climatemamaclaire.bsky.social @jennyyeremiy.bsky.social - in case you hadn’t seen this good news from Portugal!

UPDATE: Portugal has now approved a windfall tax on oil profits!!! Hi @mark-carney.bsky.social - how about 🇨🇦 copies 🇵🇹? It would be a great way to generate some $$ for Building Canada Strong - social programs, climate action, infrastructure, civil defence… (the fossil firms will be fine, promise)

I remember a few years back here in Aus when the extraction industries were using "more jobs" to justify opening more mines. A report showed we'd be better off opening more cafes.

Direct, full-time jobs opening Rosebank oilfield would create: 450 D, f-t jobs opening Jackdaw gasfield would create: 27 D, f-t jobs in UK's net-zero economy: 300,000 + 400,000 more on the way D, f-t jobs in the rest of the green economy: 600,000 Is that really the hill Burnham wants to die on?

Well, this isn’t going to be good. We all know how this will likely go. The Supreme Court has announced that one of the first cases it will hear when its new term begins in October is a major climate change lawsuit. Boulder County, Colorado, is seeking millions of dollars from fossil fuel

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:
