Close to 80% of Canadians ARE being duped. Because “Trump bad,” while true, is also apparently a powerful cloaking spell that makes people not see our country being sold off to investors seeking profit, while our environment protections and public service is being wrecked in real time.

You seem to suggest that close to 80% of Canadians are being duped and, presumably, that you are smarter. I suggest that's a rather ridiculous take on a whole lot of different levels. Do I agree with everything he does? No. Do I support him as PM? 200% yes.

#Flyfishing in Hokkaido is off the charts. Awesome culture, landscapes, laid back vibes.

I'll be teaching twenty Gr 3 students this fall. This partial back-to-school order would cost $290.38 through my school board and $668.98 at Staples. #DougFord loves talking tough about protecting us from Tr*mp, but he's taking $60M out of public education and handing it to an 🇺🇸 company. #OntEd

Thanks to Doug Ford and Paul Calandra, 80,000 elementary educators have to order classroom supplies from Staples this year instead of from their school boards. I decided to do a little comparison shopping for school supplies many of us will have to order over the course of a school year. 🧵 #OntEd

Prime Minister Carney went out of his way to negotiate a trade deal with gangsters. He held Team Canada together despite the constant insults from the MAGA gang. Canada will go more than the extra mile to find common ground but we will never bow and kiss the gangster's ring. We hold the line.

Further to this: "While the nine projects will include some affordable housing, many of the homes will be new market rental units, so Ontario’s rent control regulations will not apply." See Carney's 'bailout' for developers raises eyebrows: www.thestar.com/real-estate/... #Toronto #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Mark Carney is promising relief for Toronto renters. Here’s why critics are concerned

The PM announced $2.7B in funding for Toronto rental projects Wednesday. Much of it is going to private developers.

Sounds good. Except the government spending $310 million on non-market housing and $2.4 billion on market housing is the opposite of what those numbers should be. Why is the government using billions in public money to prop up a for-profit housing market that can't make a profit anymore?

Trump administration's latest buyback of offshore wind leases brings total to nearly $4 billion

An offshore wind company says it's reached a $1.2 billion settlement with the Trump administration to walk away from projects under development off New York, California and Louisiana.

What we should grasp is that this is what Trump is *for*. It's why fossil fuel companies and the ultra-rich backed him. The kleptocracy, the cruelty, the culture wars, all these, while real & grim enough, distract us from seeing the true purpose of his presidency. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Smoky skies in Toronto have led to new scrutiny of government efforts to fight fires and manage forests. But scientists say the realistic way to tackle the smoke is fighting climate change itself.

The American public witnessed Trump’s mental decline during a speech aimed at undermining the elections. His confused remarks, accusing China of creating fake ballots for Biden, exposed the depth of his collapse and the failure of his attempt. #ProudBlue #DV1

Bike advocacy is about FREEDOM. The most AMERICAN mode of transportation. No license or registration or insurance requirements. Legally allowed almost everywhere. Hop off and suddenly you are a pedestrian too. Anti-bike is anti-freedom, which is anti-America.

The War on Cars@thewaroncars.bsky.social · 3mo ago

There are zero "anti-car activists" (the term being thrown around today) who believe that vital services such as emergency response and sanitation shouldn't be done with vehicles. The issue is personal automobile ownership and the over-deployment of cars at the expense of nearly everything else.

Funny, I found this today...

Global CO2 emissions have slowed down, therefore we expect atmospheric CO2 to be lower than if emissions continued to grow. I did a figure quite similar to @hausfath.bsky.social a while back & it is the same story (& similar numbers): www.theclimatebrink.com/p/plateauing... But, is it correct? 1/

Economist DT Cochrane on removing the excise tax on gas: "[O&G] companies have a pretty strong degree of pricing power. That gives them the ability to claim the elimination of that excise tax. The fact we didn't see a drop in the price at the pump suggests that that's what they did."
