"It's too important to give away to private profit, especially a foreign coal company.

Alberta's UCP manufactures one crisis after another, wasting BILLIONS w/ nothing but rage to show for it. We forget that the sole purpose of government is to take care of people, now & into the future. A successful government is a boring one, delivering services seamlessly. They fail on every count.

Carbon Capture and Storage is NOT a credible climate solution. It's a really expensive way to make big oil look a lot cleaner than it is to dishonestly manufacture support for expanding instead of reducing fossil fuel dependency. @mark-carney.bsky.social is gaslighting the country about it. 🧵1/

The 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup was supposed to be the first-ever World Cup with a human rights framework. Instead, the US administration’s brutal immigration crackdown, discriminatory policies, and threats to press freedom mean the tournament risks being defined by exclusion and fear.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never felt so challenged to find joy & positivity in the world, thanks to those deliberately working to tear things apart, and those letting it happen. And yet my natural inclination is to find joy in so many things — in cities, challenging work, family and passions.
