The Massive Climate Lie That Will Destroy Human Civilization

This is the 2nd nuclear reactor shutdown I've heard of in the several days. The other one was unable to cool itself enough in the extremely hot weather. Nuclear power is not sustainable in our currently heating climates. Someone needs to help Scott Moe understand this. #Sask #SkPoli
Reuters@reuters.com · 2d agoTourist and locals in Budapest spoke to Reuters as Hungary switched off decorative and non-essential lighting at all state institutions at night. Record-low water levels on the Danube forced the country to largely shut down its sole nuclear plant, stretching power supply capacity to its limits.
Albeit slow, progress is being made on the wall along the southern border. #Canada
This is not going to sit well with Albertans when they finally realize Ontario & Quebec pay far more into equalization than Alberta. Their whole identity has been defined by conservatives lying to them by claiming Alberta subsidizes every other province. #abpoli #cdnpoli #UCPCorruption
You can't generate leverage by telling everyone it's all for leverage. It's like signing a ransom note. 🤦♂️
Good thing Alberta isn’t already pouring money into these. 😐

Opinion: Alberta is allowing patients to self-refer for some diagnostic tests. What’s the end game?
Canadians who care about public health care should ask: What are the limits of medicare?

Another sign that Smith and UCP are just using the MAGA playbook. Stoke division, weaken public institutions and seek absolute power.

With Smith holding lighter near oily rag while threatening “national unity crisis”, I understand not cutting exports, but official excuse bullshit. Cutting exports to U.S. has nothing to do with *our* dependability; it has everything to do with *their* dependability. nationalpost.com/news/canada/...

I spoke to CBC Edmonton AM about the Alberta govt bringing in two-tier diagnostic testing The evidence is clear: it will increase wait times for those in medical need while allowing the wealthy to get their treatment first. Albertans stand to lose #abpoli www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Today’s announcement of private pay preventative services won't solve wait times. It will make them worse. Danielle Smith & her UCP government have given up on fixing public health care. They have thrown in the towel and are asking us to pay instead.
Alberta allowing patients to self-refer, pay out of pocket for preventative health testing
The changes were announced in the spring and allow patients to pay for some tests and be reimbursed if the results show cancer to be found.

Elections are decided by those who show up. Albertans who want our province to remain part of Canada need to show up to vote on October 19 or it won’t just be a weird fever dream we wake up from on October 20. It could be a weird new reality.
Weird fever dream? Sleepwalking? What is even happening in Alberta right now?
Albertans need to get out and vote on October 19, 2026

"[Smith] knows that to win a second term she has to keep her party together above all else. If that means tying her own government to a movement built on conspiracies and reckless lies, so be it." It is reckless and a keeps us from doing the important work in service of all Albertans.
Richard Warnica@rwarnica.bsky.social · 2w agoI took another strange trip back home to check in on the independence movement during Stampede. What I found was a city that - outside the die-hards on other side - seems to want to pretend like none of this is real.

This council becomes an even bigger disappointment every week. Housing crisis? Make it more difficult to build homes. Transit service gaps? Hire officers not drivers. Public safety? Threaten to close supports for vulnerable populations. Taxes too high? Steal from reserves. Yikes. #yyccc
Amanda Hu@amandalhu.bsky.social · 2w agoNothing says “We’re doing everything in our power to ensure our city’s economic success” like a city council having a public hearing to open up every mid-development building permit that was allowed to proceed after repealing a city wide rezoning scheme. The one word that comes to mind: CHAOS /s
July now has the most incidents so far this year of cyclists getting hit in the city. With the province “looking for feedback” (negative only) on bike lanes it isn’t going to approve. Make sure your voice is heard! #yycbike www.google.com/maps/d/viewe...
