Friendly reminder that these things aren't impacted by closing the Strait of Hormuz so maybe, just maybe, we should implement them to avoid being impacted by future conflicts: -Solar panels -Wind turbines -Battery storage -Electric vehicles -Bicycles -Natural fertilizers -Electric heat pumps

Our 2026 fire season was quiet, and just like the rapid transition from winter to summer (bypassing spring) in much Canada, our fire season went from quiet to crazy full on. Rapid increase in area burned (and smoke) from fires in the NWT and QC and more recently ON. See hot spot graph below
These images of First Nations community members evacuating Collins, Ontario on motorboats are absolutely surreal www.facebook.com/reel/1548244...

Every time Canada makes a concession to be reasonable with the United States, Washington sees it as weakness. And they want more. This is Trump's message to the world after the deal on the Gordie Howe Bridge. Their threat to Canada remains serious.
Saw lots of these in cities in Italy and they are adorable. Will be interesting to see how they sell in the US #evs driving.ca/auto-news/ne...

No joke. I re-got Facebook (bleh) to sell something on Marketplace. I opened it today, and the served short video was of Pierre Poilievre doing a kettlebell workout. The text talked about how much of a beast he is. What a world we live in. #cdnpoli
Breaking News! Code: UFB!!! It's official! The "Super El Nino" has begun, with Niño 3.4 sea-surface temperatures now 2.0°C (3.6°F) above the 1991-2020 baseline. The Climate 8-ball is getting racked.
TLDR and surprise surprise: experts disagree with Poilievre. Shipping distance is not the most important part of the equation. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
Pierre Poilievre says Mark Carney backed the wrong pipeline route. Is he right?
The Conservative leader says Mark Carney's chosen route for an Alberta-B.C. pipeline will hurt attempts to increase oil exports to Asia. Is that true?

This is what it looks like to take wildlife collisions seriously. There are >40 wildlife overpasses and underpasses with fencing along the Trans-Canada Highway near Banff, Alberta. They’ve reduced wildlife-vehicle collisions by 80%, saving human & animal lives while promoting connected ecosystems.

Brendan O’Neill@permafrostee.bsky.social · last mo.It really sucks that affordable, small EVs like the Hyundai Inster are considered “too small for the North American market”. I’d buy one.
Imagine if they’d spent all that AI data centre money on renewables.
