Earth is now warming faster than at any point in recorded geological history - around 10 times faster than the extreme warming event 56 million years ago and 20 times faster than at the end of the last ice age. We are almost certainly in a new extinction event.

Received this bizarre email out of the blue yesterday from National Post columnist Adam Zivo gloating over my former colleague's layoff notice I'd like to thank Postmedia for looking into it and issuing this statement clarifying Zivo is expected to uphold professional standards for employee conduct

Congratulations Excellent work PressProgress has been put in a pretty dire financial situation because of a major lawsuit, so while this wasn't exactly a total surprise for me, I didn't think it would come to this so soon. 4:10 PM • Jul 27, 2026 Adam Zivo | B.A. M.P.P.

k Hello Luke Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Postmedia maintains professional standards for employee conduct and expects those standards to be upheld in interactions with colleagues and external parties. Those expectations extend to freelance contributors. As this is an internal matter, we will have no further comment. Regards COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALIST P. POSTMEDIA

5/ Wycliffe staying in the group after the revelations could have provided the group with some plausible deniability. His departure, either forced or “willing” based on internal and external pressures, puts to bed any such deniability of being a hate group in suits.

People who have money have a disproportionate ability to silence their critics — especially in Alberta. But several journalists (including me) are joining forces with digital media creators, writers, civil society, unions, academia and lawyers to try to change that. Here's how.

Nearly a thousand active wildfires continue to rage in Canada. Independent Canadian journalist Rachel Gilmore says Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney’s policies do little to mitigate the climate crisis as he approves new oil pipelines that would operate for decades.

The Carney government is sending reps to participate in Washington's international summit to target anti-fascists as a major terrorism threat. Meanwhile PM Carney refuses to say anything about a Canadian judge being targeted for sanctions for investigating war crimes. For fuck's sake.

Reminder that Carney has cut funding for Natural Resources Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Indigenous and Northern Affairs, and Indigenous Services. And he has rolled back climate protections, abandoned emissions targets, and is building more pipelines.

Carney:

"The wildfire situation has escalated significantly over the last three weeks across the country, and particularly in Northwestern Ontario. 

Thousands of people have been forced to evacuate their communities, not knowing if their homes will survive.  
 
On behalf of Canadians, I want to thank the brave firefighters, first responders, Indigenous and local leaders who are working tirelessly to keep people safe.
 
Our government is in close contact with provincial, municipal, and Indigenous partners and stands ready to provide any additional support as needed."
