Hard to argue and sounds familiar.

From Lula’s victory speech. Hard to argue. 🇧🇷 “We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously large corporations earning millions and billions, paying no taxes to this country and trying to steer our election results.”

I just went uptown to buy a few things from a couple local stores. Circled the neighbourhood following detour signs and parking restrictions and after 15 minutes of not even getting out of my car, came back home, didn't buy a thing. Does City Hall hate Uptown businesses?

An exciting vision for a regional energy system that we can build the Maritimes on. A good addition for the podcast list this weekend.

Reliability is what gives us the license to innovate. Keep the lights on, and customers give you room to try things. Like building a flight simulator for the electricity grid. Our CEO Ryan Mitchell on the Insights podcast with @donmillshfx.bsky.social 🎧: sj.energy/SJEnergy-2040

His every move is typical violent boyfriend. We are now at the "If I can't have you no one will" stage of his obsession with Canada.

💯 and it's killing Trump that Carney's getting all the credit lol

president trump deserves full credit for europe offering its first ever associate member status to canada. never would have happened without his efforts.

Prediction: Canada will not sign and may not even bother negotiating a new trade deal with the United States before 2029. There here won't be a negotiating partner to be had on the other side before then. There are people there, they just aren't negotiating partners. #pencil #notrust #cdnpoli

Clear, insightful post unlike most of the "our leader is better than your leader" take on the #tradewar, that isn't: sologi.co/3ToYc8x "These two strategies cannot coexist. That is the collision. Not tariffs. Not trade balances. Not China." #Cdnpoli #politics

sologi.coCanada Isn't Turning to China. It's Doing Something Much More Dangerous.The fight over Canada isn't about trade. It's about whether a sovereign country can diversify its way out of dependence — and what happens to American power if it does.

Wow! Big news: Tim Houston says the peaker plant procurement process should be re-opened to look at battery storage. This isn't a commitment to battery storage, but it's a step back from total commitment to gas plants.

'Like all social media, these services will succeed only if there is sufficient uptake. If our institutions threw their weight around, it could hasten an exodus from platforms owned by Trump’s loyal servants and push Canadians toward more democratic online spaces.' Preach, Justin.

It really shouldn’t need saying, but the U.S. Secretary of Defence mocking Canada’s military while making veiled threats of invasion is very much not a joke, even if the U.S. Secretary of Defence is a joke.

No Canadian alive today is going to forget these few weeks, no matter how chummy we might become again in the future.

This was posted by the US department of Interior. It shows the deranged viciousness of the administration on our border. We are staring down a klepto psychopath who is being egged on at every level by the power structure of the USA. They aren't joking. Canada we stand on guard for thee.

Important to know for anyone doing comms for an energy company.

New greenwashing rules from Ad Standards Canada mean brands can't exaggerate, use misleading imagery, or make claims without scientific evidence. If enforced, this matters for our health: the fossil fuel industry has spent decades advertising its way out of responsibility for the climate crisis.

Canadians need strong, competent, constructive leadership from our opposition parties if we're going to have good government. Our governments would be better if we had reasonable alternative options to choose. Right now we don't in Canada or NB. We won't vote for ridiculous and small.

Mark Gerretsen@markgerretsen.bsky.social

The opposition’s job isn’t character assassination — It’s offering a better alternative. What do you think of the job they are doing?

Understand how algorithms work. If you're seeing it, it's because someone is paying for you to see it. Social media algorithms are not designed to curate the news you need to know each day, they show you what others decide you need to know with their money.

Gerald Butts@gmbutts.bsky.social

There’s a lot of algorithmic power focused on fights between Canadians and Americans over wildfires. Somebody’s paying for it. 🌲 🔥

Did you know that private companies in New Brunswick have been paying for their employees to have better access to Maple than others? Two-tier is here. This is not good.
