Who does he think he is? Mark Carney?

"In particular, a large fall in the price of panels in 2023-24 pushed us into the current era of what Jones calls "offensively cheap" solar. "A panel in itself is just so unbelievably cheap," he says. "It's well under $100 (£75)… and that's going to keep you generating electricity for 30, 40 years"

I just arrived at Halifax City Hall and there are 10 cyclists wearing their helmets. It’s silent protest against a report on alternatives to the AAA bike lane network to be presented to council today.

Canada buys more in digitally deliverable services from the U.S. than what we sell in autos, steel, aluminum, softwood lumber, potash and electricity. Read our full analysis here: canadianshieldinstitute.ca/updates/cana...

Yet another way Carney is exploiting Trump to dismantle Canada's government: Public sector austerity is driving unemployment numbers in Canada Tariffs are beginning to bite but it's public sector workers who are taking the biggest hit these days www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Another bald-faced lie from Trump to try to avoid mid-term losses. Easy to say, but no confirmation from Canada. Prime Minister Carney has already said we'll wait out Trump and make a deal when the US comes to its senses. #cdnpoli globalnews.ca/news/1212115...

Tsk, tsk ... "illegal" immigration....

My advice? Avoid Anthropic at all costs.

It must be nice to be comfortable believing "Hey, the world is bad and we gotta put Canada's economy* first" or "Well, if we don't sell fossil fuels to everyone, someone else will". A liveable planet and human rights seen as luxuries we can't afford. Morally very convenient. * Foreign corporations

Oil and gas assets are not state owned in Canada. There is no benefit to me from the sale. Carney frames the conversation as Canadian oil when it is privately owned.

AI companies warn their tech poses catastrophic, even existential, risk. Then they race to build it, ask government to regulate, and sell you shares with no say. The risk isn’t exogenous. It’s a product decision. Polluters warning about pollution while expanding the plant.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Toronto voters made a deal with The Bradford Exchange yesterday and wisely elected Olivia Chow as Mayor.

On a serious note: I'm so thankful our city made the right choice tonight. What a relief. There are a number of wonderful, progressive candidates who also won this evening, and I am thrilled for them and their ridings. Okay we now return to our scheduled programming of making fun of Brad Bradford

Somebody please shut down this racist fuck!

There's a collision or broken-down vehicle on the Mackay Bridge, hfx-bound, near the hfx-side Listener says Emergency Crews are on the scene.... Plus, there are back-ups to Dartmouth as well Expect big delays on both bridges until this is cleared up #HFXTraffic

Environment and Climate Change Canada using tax dollars to promote fossil fuel expansion, such as that depicted in this sponsored ad, is full throttle sociopathic. It's like Health Canada choosing to actively promote putting rat poison in your lunch.

UK ministers had plenty of time for AI datacenter bosses, but none for environmental groups

😂 Sorry I just had to laugh. This was bound to happen.

Mark Carney might be the most popular politician in all of Canada right now - but using that popularity to ram-through highly controversial changes is not only arrogant, I think it's short-sighted if he's actually looking to build something durable.
