If you’ve ever wanted a T-shirt repping a racist Canadian group pushing for mass deportations, your purchase is just a few clicks away — all thanks to Shopify. When I reached out to them, they said "we don’t remove merchants over objections to their worldview.” Wow. My latest for @thetyee.ca:

I LOVED Owl Magazine as a kid. My nose was buried in each issue for days after it was delivered. I'm definitely gifting a subscription.

Thank you Canada! 🥰 2,300+ disadvantaged kids are getting a year of Owl Magazine, at no cost to their families. Owl is a beloved institution — a magazine that arrives in the mail, full of "get outside" activities that encourage curiosity about science, nature, and wildlife. 👉🏻 owl.todmaffin.com

It's been so smokey here in South Eastern B.C. that we've barely gone outside in a week. We're usually outside all the time in August. And @mark-carney.bsky.social thinks more pipelines are the way. + 20k evacuated in Summerland! Renewables not fossil fuels!

New from me. Mark Carney’s Oprah giveaway day, and a vexing question: if a new pipeline is a money-printing machine, why does no private company want to build it so that taxpayers have to? #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/opi...

You get a port! And you get a tunnel! And everybody gets a pipeline, whether or not they want one!

I’ve no confidence that @juliedabrusin.bsky.social or the GoC will act & protect anything but extractive resource industries. The caribou herds are facing imminent threats to their survival but Dabrusin ain’t no conservationist she’s Carney’s lawyer & will avoid doing anything, like all his cabinet

1/ Right now, a bill called C-22 is moving through Parliament. It would let police pull information on who you talk to, when, and where, all without a warrant. It's at committee this week. 🧵

Good day everyone! Can you believe it's almost June already? This is the last week of May which means summer is barreling towards us like an angry moose. And we have the same chance of avoiding either one... None at all Enjoy the spring weather while you can. It's only here for a bit longer.

We have an opportunity to pile our efforts into building out renewables at a rate similar to China's, with more bang for our buck. Plus we can be a part of that solution for the rest of the world by ramping up battery and component manufacturing. But no, Carney doubles down on O&G.
