The multi-billionaire CEO of Shopify thinks a “good system” is one where the poor don’t get to vote in elections and the rich get to vote several times over. I wish I was kidding. Oh, and guess what? This guy and his pals are trying to influence our politics -- and they're arguably succeeding:

I am not a climate scientist but when I was a kid the number of times we couldn’t go outside because of Canadian wildfire smoke was zero times

People who keep pointing out that golf courses use as much water as data centres as some sort of defence of data centres drastically underestimate the amount we also hate golf.

I wonder, if you polled people, how much extra they would pay each year to have their city *not* be covered in thick, choking wildfire smoke for days at a time. I wonder if that might give you more insight into "willingness to pay" vis a vis climate change than asking in the abstract.

If you're wondering why the sky is orange, the air unbreathable & the forests on fire - and who might be responsible - look no further than the Canada Pension Plan There might not be a fossil fuel industry in Canada were it not for our public pension plan #cdnpoli www.desmog.com/2026/06/22/c...

Correct your priors: Private money is going after clean energy, governments are using public money to prop up fossil fuels "About 59% of all money spent on the fossil fuel system came from taxpayers in 2015. By 2025, that climbed to 68% and spiked at 78% in 2022." www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Guilbeault: Canadian taxpayers are going to be on the hook for tens of billions of dollars for yet another fossil fuel infrastructure, which we don't know whether or not it will be profitable in the long term.

Put differently, if you made a dollar EVERY SECOND, you would be a millionaire in just under 12 days. It’d take you 31.7 years to become a billionaire. You’d have to have been born 31,709 years ago — in the Upper Paleolithic era — to become a trillionaire. IF YOU MADE A DOLLAR EVERY SECOND!!!!

Rachel Gilmore@rachelgilmore.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Counting to a million, if you count one number per second nonstop, would take you just under 12 days. Counting to a billion would take you about 31 years. Counting to a trillion would take you 31,709 years. You would have had to have started counting DURING THE UPPER PALAEOLITHIC ERA.

CBS just fired longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley after he spoke out against the network's Trumpian turn under Bari Weiss and the Ellisons. Make no mistake: Trump is using the power of the state to help his billionaire pals control the media.

Our media is controlled by just a handful of billionaires and their corporations. And Trump is making things even worse.
