‘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.

The moral cowardice on climate in prairie politics from the likes of Notley is what caused me to resign my NDP membership nearly 10 years ago and what drove me to move from Alberta to BC.
Prairie politics is extremely conservative, even the NDP, and it's incompatible with the rest of the country.

Part of the reason I came back is my need to rant about the NDP leadership😁

This statement from the McPherson campaign is precisely why I won't be ranking her and why I would not vote for a party led by her.

I have cast my vote for @avilewis.ca today to be the next federal NDP leader. I have witnessed how his campaign is a spillover of a broader social political movement to fight against fascism. This struggle is rooted in love for a different world, and solidarity as love made visible.

Bright sunshine falls on a wintry landscape in Japan. In the foreground, fresh snow lies across traditional wooden farm buildings, haystacks, and tall leafless trees; on our right, a single figure goes about their business on the farm. Beyond, Mount Fuji dominates the horizon, its snowy peak rising tall into a clear blue sky.

Liberals to cut CBC by $192-million in 2026-27 This year’s estimates include $1.38-billion in funding for the CBC, representing a marked decrease from the $1.58-billion allotted to the public broadcaster during the 2025-26 fiscal year.

The decision to cut CBC funding goes against Carney’s campaign promise - and only weakens our media ecosystem. #cdnpoli

How can so many people in positions of influence in our society somehow think it is ok for a US president to think he can simply pick and choose world leaders, launch wars, claim territory, seize assets, wherever he wants whenever he wants? This is madman movie villain behavior. Absolutely nuts.

Un accord entre Ottawa et l’Alberta sur les grands projets Il permettra à la province de réaliser ses propres évaluations d’impact relatives aux grands projets et d'accélerer leur mise en oeuvre selon le gouvernement.

ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/223... En faisant cela, Carney abdique totalement le moindre contrôle sur les impacts environnementaux des futurs projets de Danielle Smith. C’est un chèque en blanc très très dangereux. #polcan #NPD @npd.ca

Bro, what? That was a *direct quote* from Carney himself, refusing to rule out deploying Canada's military to the conflict. I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt here, but you're just denying Carney's own description of his position, and it's pathetic.

a.) Carney's not hiding it. “One can never categorically rule out participation. We will stand by our allies,” Carney said when asked whether his country would provide military assistance.

b.) the original post was about Carney's support for the illegal attack on Iran. Your arguments are unrelated.

New coalition targets $100M for Canadian carbon removal projects by 2030 An emerging industry to remove carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere got a boost on Thursday with the launch of an initiative to raise another $100 million for those projects.

RBC & Shopify collaborating on carbon capture should alarm all Canadians. This has nothing to do with climate change, these companies are just hungry for taxpayer money. CCS = "Can't capture shit" ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/coaliti... #ABPoli #ABLeg #CDNPoli #CarbonCapture #CCS #CCUS #ClimateChange

You're mistaken. Mark Carney has explicitly refused to rule out participating in the Iran War.
