India has a once-in-a-century opportunity to become a global energy superpower.

Not because of oil or gas.

Because of solar, wind, storage, and hydrogen.

A $1T India New Energy Transition Fund could turn energy imports into energy exports. 🧡

Front page of Toronto star

Will anyone stand up to Ford? My airport column makes a rare appearance on the front page of the Toronto Star today. Local democracy steamrolled. Backroom decisions. Liberals acquiescing. Feckless & weak establishment carrying his water. Fait accompli? Read here:

Take our "4/5" single-stair prototype building
and put it on two 33'x122 lots.

Mid block or corner.
18 elevator accessible homes, where every home has windows on 3 sides.

Light, Air, and a Social Stair

Hold on here folks.

Sweden has taken a 5-3 lead on Canada after stealing three in the 7th end.

We’re now in the final end. Canada has hammer and something brewing. Great finish coming up at the Paralympics.

Attachment issues. I mean Donald Trump has major attachment issues.

Don’t think Jesus did … ;)

Well and … also heresy of the highest order.

I mean I am not big on anything being heresy. But if you say you are a Christian, and you believe in the Trinity and Jesus is God … well then … this is indeed heresy.

This is a thought provoking article; pretty basic summary, and it’s not a feel good read.

Would it have been so much worse if it had been a nuke? Consider the fact that birth deficiencies and rates of leukemia and cancer in Iraq, post 2003- invasion, are worse than what was observed in Hiroshima. In Japan, rates of leukemia rose by 660% in the years following the bomb. In Falluja, it increased by 2,200%. The toxicity of war has never been greater, and we are in no way reckoning with
the scope of the horror that's been unleashed.

The real damage comes years later, with elevated cancer rates, leukemia clusters, respiratory disease, cardiovascular failure, neurological damage, reproductive issues.

This is chemical warfare, with delayed carnage. Worse than radiation sickness.

I am ashamed to be American today.

If the government gets to decide if you have them, they're not human rights.

Takes a deep breathe.

There is a reason that many people who grew up in the evangelical world, are terrified of end times.

I repeat to anyone, if you hasten or look forward to β€œend times”, thinking you will likely be raptured out … you are a gross human being.

Ok, so not a fan of huge ships navigating the islands of BC, but if they are electric tankers, then at least it won’t be oils spill.

As long as the panels can be, and will be, easily retrieved if there is an accident?

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

It’s pretty much how many Canadians feel about Gretzky.

Gretzy booze stays on the shelf. Maybe down the road he can use it as a disinfectant for himself.

Call to protect nature! I’ve just taken a strong stand for nature… Now it’s your turn! Join me in writing Prime Minister Mark Carney to demand investments for Canadian nature. Join me!

Canada needs to invest in nature!
2026 is a critical year for nature. Nine in ten Canadians see our natural heritage as the most important symbol of national identity. Tell the Prime Minister that nature matters to you!

Well this won’t age well.

But to be honest, Gretzky woulda fit right in.

It’s never been a conspiracy.

Actual credible sources, has shown documented information. Trump himself admits to being a sexual predator. His enjoyment of being able to go into the change room with young women while they are naked. β€œgrab em by the p… β€œ sounds painful, shocking and violent.

We really don’t.

Did I just see Gretzky say he was friends’ with Presidents, but was still a Canadian.

Dude. Remember when your Dad used to give you shit for wearing suits that cost $10k? Reminded you what a good suit cost in Canada?

Yeah from Canadians … might want to remember that moment eh?

Ireland's first four-hour battery storage system launched Statkraft, the largest producer of renewable energy in Europe, has launched Ireland's first ever four-hour grid-scale Battery Energy Storage System beside its windfarm at Cushaling in Co Offaly.

Interestingly, by providing electricity during peak demand, this will better balance the electricity grid, and allow more renewables to be used. www.rte.ie/news/2026/02...

Big news. My daughter and her partner are volunteer fire fighters in interior BC. Things are starting to change, and it really needed to happen.

Like quickly.

β€œvan Rootselaar’s posts, alarmed employees at OpenAI [who] interpreted her writings as an indication of potential real-world violence, and urged leaders to alert C’d’n law enforcement about her behavior.

OpenAI leaders ultimately decided not to contact authorities.”
