Almost as if being obnoxious and mean is not a winning strategy.
Who'd have thunk it?

Those are good starts!

The ideal form of storage, of course, being batteries and pumped hydro....

Few really believe that there were really 600,000 Forty Mile Caribou in the 1920s, but we still use that figure.
(the herd currently cycles between 30,000 and 80,000)

Well, he guessed wrong for Rubio....

Both the CAF and the RCMP are wringing their metaphorical hands over their difficulty attracting excellent recruits....male or female.
This is why.
That plus the likelihood of being assaulted if you're female or a minority.

Great idea to focus on drones, but the way to do it is to go to Ukraine and support and augment the Ukrainian army's drone corps- the field is evolving so fast that being in the field there is the only way to keep up.
Also, Ukraine needs our support.

Yukon's utility (Yukon Energy Corporation) has definitely not grokked that storage is a thing.
It has slow walked an 8MW battery to the point it has taken a stunning TEN YEARS to install (so far, it's still not operating), and has convinced the government to make installing grid tied solar illegal.

Few folks here were happy to awaken to minus 35 again this morning....
It's really hard to convince myself that it's time to start seeds!

Fortunately the Canadian public still owns the CBC.
I hope we can keep it!

Sorry. My mistake.
That's pretty wild.
Also, pretty much anything can be faked these days.
Also, sorry you get stuff like that!

Did you compose this?
Or grab it from somewhere?
It's kinda funny, but poking fun at PP fans by writing fake letters like this is kinda juvenile too.

‘Bitter result’ for Friedrich Merz as Greens win in German car heartland Cem Özdemir gains 30.2% of vote in Baden-Württemberg, ahead of CDU, with far-right AfD in third

This is, despite the headline, a really promising result.
Thinking of how Polanski has galvanised the UK Greens, and how Avi Lewis looks set to green the NDP in Canada, I'm feeling more optimistic than I have in some time that the far right has peaked.

When I do that I find myself running out of space to hang it out to dry (in winter, of course!), so there are wet sheets and clothes draped over furniture!

Yes, similarly, they are superficially really polite...
They say it's because they never know if the person they are engaging with is armed. "An armed society is a polite society".
Very weird.

Lordy, lordy- look who's 40!

True.
Hang in there- recall how John Snow's revelation was received at the time.

The Gore/Bush hanging chad moment is more plausible

This would be an excellent move, classy and trolling at the same time.

Gunning for an Ignoble here....

It's baffling from here. Perhaps Albertans always knew that Nenshi is a damp squib. Alberta desperately needs a compelling answer to Smith. Nenshi is failing to be it, and yet it seemed he could have been.
Perhaps he's ill?

Similarly, a recent warning that various infectious diseases are circulating in Yukon included no advice to mask or even to get vaccinated.

I think it's appropriate to commemorate Canada's moving away from a symbol of an empire that was very much about white supremacy and genocides to one that holds a promise for something much better.
Having said that, I very much dislike celebrating symbols of nationalism.

Have you ever seen American football?

I had to look up who they are.
Stunning, and very sad that hate sells so well.

Yukon University was in the north, last time I checked, and its Old Crow campus is north even of the Arctic circle.
None of which is meant to be an argument against a University in Nunavut.

Nice move!
We banned liquor and tobacco ads years ago, although I think I'd ban gambling ads too, gambling being another super destructive 'sin'.
