Recommended read: The Cypress Climate Advisory group released a “NDC benchmarker” that monitors countries’ emissions against their nationally determined contributions (NDC) under the Paris Agreement.
There was a political dust up in a parliamentary committee yesterday about whether I should be asked to testify. Of course, no one involved actually contacted me. I heard about it this morning while making tea. And I told the Canadian press what I thought:

we have a nuclear power station in the sky and can make batteries out of salt but if 21 nm of water get closed we have a global energy crisis
idk bruh, i am not a scientist, but this seems dumb as ballz

Canada must call for an immediate ceasefire as the US and Israel continue their illegal and reckless war.
We should be demanding justice for violations of international law and war crimes, not tap-dancing around whether or not we support this disastrous Trump-led military adventure.
“U.S. and Israel should stop waging and expanding wars, and considering themselves as above international legality."

The bigger question for me though is how many *affordable* EVs can we import any time soon. And that should include models built in the EU.
This seems to fit the bill

I spoke to CBC about the war on Iran and the Prime Minister’s support for it. Canada needs to take a principled, lawful and consistent approach to foreign policy issues.
A clear, simple summary, though I'm not convinced Mark Carney's "energy superpower" goal is helpful

More than 80 countries backed a 🌎 roadmap to transition away from fossil fuels at COP30.

I admit it leaves me wondering how it could result in sufficient incentive to reduce emissions enough.
I'd be interested in hearing what her values were and are and where she sees them overlapping with the Liberals versus the NDP.
With all due respect, we can't "remain" steady and principled when your approach was neither since the 28 February.
I don't get the sense that most Canadian politicians even consider that countries will try to move faster to get off of dependence on imported fossil fuels.

The United States and EU, as a direct result of placing sanctions on other countries, have murdered 40 million people since 1970 by those sanctions, and millions more indirectly.
The Pathways Alliance, the oil sands group that blanketed Canada with "we're going to net-zero" ads, now pretends it was formed only to "advance a CO2 emissions strategy and a proposed carbon capture and storage (CCS) project" (oilsandsalliance.ca/who-we-are/o...). Here's what web site used to say:
"If certain States continue to condemn violations of international law only by States they see as adversaries or less powerful, while giving... allies a free pass to commit brazen aggression, international law will ultimately cease to function altogether." www.justsecurity.org/133417/aggre...
