When would countries reach 20/50/80% battery electric market share if they held their current trajectories? Top 3 are already done, Number 4 is essentially also done: Norway 🇳🇴 Hong Kong 🇭🇰 Nepal 🇳🇵 Denmark 🇩🇰

#bcpoli Since BC Conservative interim leader Lorne Doerkson is promising to jack up ICBC premiums, votes must ask what other fees and charges would Conservatives use as a cash cow. Hydro? Tuition? Ambulance fees. Water licenses? Court fines? There are dozens and dozens.

Keep in mind BCers Katy Merrifield CM for #BCCons also CM team with #Polievere so this is what we'd end up with. Also BCCon ldr calling up OneBC nut bag Dallas Brodies who supports Second Sons White Nationalist & Res Schoo denier all we need to know. #neverconservative #bcpoli #vanpoli

The Conservative Party of BC says it won’t be co-operating with “splinter parties” like right-wing OneBC, headed by former Conservative MLA Dallas Brodie. @jenstden.bsky.social reports. #bcpoli

MAGA: “We support Trump because he says what he means and tells it like it is.” Also MAGA: “That’s not what he meant.” Then the usual cleanup crew, spends weeks explaining what Trump “really” meant. So much for telling it like it is.

MoveUP has learned that Interim Conservative Leader Lorne Doerkson has pledged privately to the trial lawyers and the private insurance industry to overhaul BC’s insurance industry with a plan that would double rates for drivers. #bclab #bcpoli #bcelxn moveuptogether.ca/the-latest/d...

This contagious claim that under the NDP BC has become 'the highest taxed province' is nonsense. Provincial own-source revenue as share of GDP is 4th lowest among the provinces, and below the Canadian weighted average. #bcpoli /2

We’ve always known, but now it’s confirmed, that Danielle Smith’s separatist friends, including a sitting UCP president, have been conspiring to hand over Alberta’s land, oil and water to Donald Trump. Albertans deserve better than this weak leadership that hurts us all. https://tgam.ca/3Txh5Gt

The elephant in the room

Alberta separatists have gone to D.C. offering fresh water and oil in exchange for American support – and Republican operatives have provided tactical assistance inside the province

The problem with all these conservatives is they believe they are smarter than everyone else and so things only work if done their way. If they are true federalist, they should be able to say Canada is worth saving no matter who is in charge.

Most of the word count in this op-ed was consumed by Harper re-hashing grievances with the Trudeau government and its supposedly nefarious intentions for the oil and gas industry -- and, as Jason says, completely misrepresenting the level of support for separatism when he was in office.

Stephen Harper has, as we've long awaited, weighed in against Alberta separatism. But man oh man, do I have to strongly quibble with him claiming sentiment was zero when he was PM. Here's a 2014 poll putting belief in separation at 23%, which is where it sits now. nationalpost.com/opinion/step...

So about every two days a new catholic account shows up on my feed with some trite catholic quote and replies turned off. Kind of sums up the catholic experience. They just want to sermonize, they don't want to listen.
