Look, tackling climate change would be nice sure, but in these tough economic times, we have to stay laser focused on the 3.8% of global GDP contributed by the oil and gas industry

“But with temperatures exceeding 38C for weeks on end, everything is breaking down. I’m expecting yield losses of at least 50 per cent, or even 70 per cent, for certain crops, such as soya. We’re no longer heading for a crash — we’re already there.” giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

You either support liberal policies or you're a never-happy-degrowth-anticapitalist says Max. Also lol: "In climate terms, getting a Conservative premier of Alberta to sign off on a triple-digit carbon price is like getting a Quebec premier to sign their province onto the Constitution."

No, Mark Carney isn't just like Stephen Harper on climate and the environment, as some have argued lately. But he's not like Justin Trudeau either. That's a good thing, as far as climate policy is concerned. Today's announcement proves it. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/15/o...

Reading and listening to conversations about social media's potential harm to young people and wondering at what point people will follow that line of thought to more seriously ask questions about its potential harm for adults.

It is far beyond bizarre that a person who is a very open and explicit racial supremacist—not just in his 'views' but in his highly engaged worldwide political activism—retains for so many the aura of a smart leader deserving of vast public subsidies and consumer devotion.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

Danielle Smith tried to sell her federal-Alberta energy deal to the UCP convention crowd: tepid applause. She told them that this proved Canada can work well for Alberta’s interests: loud boos. This ain’t a base that wants Smith to work with a Liberal PM on a better industrial carbon tax.
