In all honesty - and I'm not being a smug conservationist here - major cities should be deploying emergency bike lanes immediately. Safe, separated ones, as part of interconnected networks.
This is a national defense priority - we need to reduce fuel consumption immediately.
It definitely looks like a bit of a push poll, at least at first glance, due to its exclusion of oneBC. Although again they don't really disagree with cons on anything, so I think they'll just collapse into each other making this polling choice reasonable
This one is becoming a top-of-the-fold story that seems to be sticking in a fundamentally different way
Imo for the right it's a ratchet. Just keep tightening and the center right will fall in line.
This reconciliation panic is a unique political beast that is being very effectively exploited. They've tried a few panics (vaccines, ostriches, digital ID) but those only intensely appeal to small groups
I actually think that's defensible. I think OneBC will just fold back into the cons at some point - or maybe the cons fold into one BC. They seem to basically agree on most things.
Either way there will be consolidation on the right
It's very disturbing that BC polls are swinging so heavily due in part to a moral panic about reconciliation
Hang on I'm gonna go photocopy some Hemingway to test the copier's writing skills
I've been burned too many times by being impressed by various superstars who turn out to be disappointments.
To that end, my current answer to this is: "the invisible public servant whose regulatory compliance work reduces *bad thing* by *some percentage*"
This fundamental truth is why all those "ha ha what's better? Gas or EV? MAYBE GAS HMM" analyses are such nonsense
And the same logic holds across basically all non-emitting technologies
The fact that we have 8 months before the winter heating season kicks in means we have time to prepare better. Electrify everything we can, make gas more efficient where we can't electrify, put solar on every bloody roof out there, cut taxes on electricity, and above all, unleash the flexibility
Canadians need to be extremely vigilant for false flag terrorist attacks right now.
The information environment is worse than it's ever been. If something happens, the first conclusion we are expected to support may not be the right one.
It's just war crime after war crime
I expect this disaster and its resulting health effects will be heavily censored.
The poison oil cloud above Tehran right now - for which there is no end in sight - may be one of the most horrifying things I've seen on TV
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Is this a nuclear threat?
Once again I beg people to think for two seconds about how they use this Star Trek reference.
The whole point was that resistance is NOT futile. That catchphrase was hubris. The Borg were defeated repeatedly.
It's time for some N95 fanfic!
It occurs to me that these have probably all been crawled by AI, and ingested as fact

Anyway I hope this is more successful in BC than it was for Nixon.
Looking forward to brighter night skiing 😎

Some people are getting upset that the new time zone extends light into the evening. But imo virtually everything rewards early risers.
I'm glad to see someone finally throw us night owls a bone!
New post!
Many Americans hold contradictory opinions on the same policies. Question wording effects can swing opinions by 20+ points on immigration, the budget, and transgender rights.
That's a problem for people who interpret polls for a living.

Oh ok
Seeing this narrative really taking off over on X, and even @robshaw.bsky.social spreading innuendo.
This is obviously gonna be a big story.
I spoke to Musqueam Chief Sparrow about exactly this two weeks ago and he couldn't have been clearer that they are NOT pursuing title.
Shameful shit.
Bar graph comparing emissions from Grok's fossil-fuelled data centres to avoided emissions from Tesla's products for the years 2023 and 2024.
Comparison of emissions from manufacturing xAI's chatbot responses (5,127,553 tonnes CO2e) versus all Tesla products (1,056,000 tonnes CO2e) with respective analyses.
*New short blog* - finally (with help) got around to getting a total estimate of Grok's climate pollution 🫠
- Once all fossil gas online, = to between half and all of Tesla's ANNUAL GLOBAL avoided emissions
- Currently, 5x the emissions of Tesla's total manufacturing
