  Not feeling great. 🤧 Two weeks after class startup. Not a big surprise. Have one side of my throat feeling swollen and sore. Some Tylenol helped. Hopefully it’s short lived and mild. #sick #manflu

  Here we go! BC Election on October 24! Eby is speaking on #TheAmericanFascist being the main reason. For stability, etc etc. #TradeWar But this is also a cynical and opportunistic power grab timed to take advantage of chaos in the BC Conservative and generally the centre-right and right-wing of BC politics. My main ask for the future government will be to stabilize our democracy with proportional representation. #BCPoli #CanPoli #CdnPoli #Democracy https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-co...

  Hey Canadians: What do you make of Alberta Premier Smith breaking down on Saturday during a speech when she started talking about oil pipelines being cancelled and other “injustices”. It strikes me as.... odd. https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.7351223 #CanPoli #CdnPoli #ABPoli

  absolutely bonkers BC political scenes right now as it is revealed an operative of the BC Conservative leader hired a private investigator behind the back of the rest of the party to dig up dirt on members of their own party, executive, and a political reporter at CHEK (who is notably right-leaning in his reporting no less!) No wonder the NDP is itching to call a snap election and try to secure a more solid majority! It's great to see the rightwing consume themselves (again) but at the sa...

  Remember that time… like 10 minutes ago… when we all had to vote Liberal because “otherwise we get the Conservatives.” Well… after a day of selling off our airports and slashing corporate taxes on new investment to levels never seen in a modern economy (a $48 Billion gift with no budget line item yet), we end the day, and Carney’s Trillion Dollar Summit with a keynote from…. Stephen ___ing Harper. “I am very encouraged by the detailed comments the prime minister made today on doing just some...

  “The new regime cuts Canada’s marginal effective tax rate on new business investment by more than half, from 13 per cent to 6.4 per cent. The government says that is the lowest rate of any major advanced economy.” Great! Less revenue! Less services! More taxes on the rest of us! Go Liberal Government of Canada! Carney's really pulling out all the stops today. Selling the entire country -- to American investors -- down the Ottawa River because apparently this is how we make Canada Strong.🤪...

  Oh look! Carney is doing that thing absolutely NO ONE voted for him to do!! Selling out our public infrastructure to the highest bidder so we can all pay more for flights that are already expensive and for which we have no land based alternative!

  it would be goddamn poetic if moving the decimal point in the USA to go over $9.99/gal is what finally broke MAGA, Trump and the fossil fuel industry itself. the average cost of Diesel across the USA has doubled from $3 to $6/gal "some gas station displays in California have shown diesel prices sitting at $9.99, the "maximum price that gas stations can show on their digital displays, which typically only display four digits.”" "The average cost for a gallon of diesel in t...

  “And I think that's something Canadians know now and we understand it better: We are dealing with people who don't believe we should exist," Rae said. “ What a horrible state of affairs. But let’s be clear, it is the US Administration only, that has brought this on. They clearly want to break up Canada or take us over completely. Also Greenland/Denmark and Iceland.

  The Trade Rep for Canada, Minister LeBlanc just said he's not going to be concerned about what an official says... “on a US Social network”. Interesting choice of words. Is there a mind shift happening? Now might be the time to strike and remind your local, provincial and federal politicians that there are *CANADIAN* social networks *today*. There are spaces they can join, and even that they can create. It's time to ramp up the Canadian #Fediverse and #OpenSocialWeb! #DigitalSovere...

  It’s official. The attack on our cultural reach, including in French, and trying to limit our international trading partnerships, was a direct attack on Canada 🇨🇦 as a sovereign country. We will not be the 51st state. Never. Not even Alberta. The USA is a hostile country. Americans: this is on you. All of you. Fix it. Canada will make your life exactly as difficult as ours is, because of your President. Our leaders are now seriously talking about taxing or limiting energy exports to your count...

  it makes me sad that i grew up all my life with the core knowledge that Nazis are bad.... and that seemed to be a universally held - and upheld - truth.

  Mark Carney: I don’t care about Climate Change, I’m building another oil pipeline to Burnaby. Canada Strong! Mother Nature: How strong exactly? Hold my beer. (A wildfire has broken out on the north side of Burrard Inlet, about 7km northeast of the Burnaby oil terminal, the terminus of the Transmountain Pipeline. It is currently 1.5ha and out of control but updates often come slowly on the web. News reports are that a few homes have been “tactically evacuated” and more evacuations may come acco...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@MAKS23/117033665964285877 more water shortages at nuclear plants. Until they use little to no fresh water for cooling, current plants are not a realistic solution to the fossil fuel transition and building new is ludicrous when renewables, even with battery systems, are orders of magnitude cheaper and less environmentally needy. #endfossilfuels #nuclear #solar #wind #heat #climateChange

  EV cars charging measured in seconds? Coming to Carney’s Canada in a Decade, maybe. (That’s 315 million seconds) “BYD says its Blade 2.0 can charge from 10-70% in 5 minutes. And Geely one-upped BYD by saying its Golden Brick can charge the same amount in 4 minutes and 22 seconds.” On the bright side, I was watching a YouTube a few days ago talking about the various mostly-American based brands that are near bankruptcy (again). Maybe they’ll finally go away and we can have 21st century cars th...

  This is cool. But new train sitting on the siding for 4 hours to wait for a freight train when the entire journey is supposed to take 4 hours is the actual problem no one in government wants to solve. VIA Rail remains a national embarrassment because of successive Liberal and Conservative policy. Now they’ll just be a national embarrassment with new rolling stock. Oh and people can barely afford to take it across the country. It is mostly an embarrassing tourist fraud with spectacular views....
