Yep, you heard that right... Republican lawmakers are complaining that Canada is ruining their summer.
Instead of blaming arson and poor forest management, let's address the elephant in the room: the FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY.

Every day the authoritarianism grows worse - Christopher Rufo calling for the Trump administration to "dispatch unmarked vans to follow key agitators and snatch them from the streets while the media are not looking" christopherrufo.com/p/trump-shou...
Over 80% of millionaires support higher taxes.
@jakeatkinson.bsky.social on GBNews last night.
Just 0.2% of all millionaires moved to another country in 2024, but news outlets around the world spun this into a “millionaire exodus”. 11,000 news pieces were published in 2024 about an exodus that did not exist.

This pod was SO good. It tells the story of Musk destroying Twitter, w/ great detail & backstory from 2 new books that will have you laughing & your jaw dropping. It also highlights his radicalization journey & the ludicrous hypocrisies of his God complex. open.spotify.com/episode/1218...
"Conservatives" are irrefutably the least patriotic of all Canadians & it's not even close #cdnpoli
Canadian centrist elites still downplay the risks of Trump taking over Canada. I am taking it extremely seriously, though I have no fucking clue what to do about it. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/391c82b...
Justin Trudeau wasn't a deliberately divisive leader, but he allowed Canadians to become more divided under his watch. Why the next Liberal leader needs to fight harder for Canada — and what they can learn from Trudeau's mistakes there. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/01/06/o...
Well, that happened.

They deserve each other and in the long arc of history will both be failed states
Left: "Ministers resist calls to block Musk donations to Farage’s Reform UK"
Right: That time in 2019 when @carolecadwalla.bsky.social called out misinformation which influenced Brexit and took the UK out of the EU by a slim of margin
Is Labour's inaction damaging the integrity of our democracy?
How can anyone support the AfD?! Yet Musk and Vance do. Repulsive.
The most important article you may read this year: extreme roadmap to US autocracy - and its already half implemented by JD Vance and Trump. The obscure ‘dark enlightenment’ blogger influencing the next US administration
Pierre Poilievre is cozying up to Canada’s far-right broligarchs:
Just like their Silicon Valley counterparts, some Canadian tech billionaires are trying to push Canada to the right

Fuckers
I don’t know how she went from writing a book slightly critical on the power of Oligarchs to a few years later deciding to organize her government around serving their needs and growing their wealth but I was not impressed.
Freeland worked hard to block basic climate finance regs we were working on that would have cost government zero money but led to some minor new regulatory and paperwork burdens on polluters and massively profitable banks. She was a force against needed change.
I once thought maybe that was the nature of her Finance Minister role, as the sober “how do we pay for that” smalll c conservative voice, but other governments have had far more visionary and progressive finance leads who are less embedded in pleasing the corporate power structures.
Christiya Freeland was probably a nice person but was no friend to the issues I care most about. She was an active blocker on many important progressive priorities especially on climate and climate finance, and basically anything that tried to limit corporate power.
Corporate greed has ruined our society our lives and our planet. But sure, let’s get rid of the guardians protecting us from the worst gouging. That’ll surely help.
Good ideas here on how clean energy can & must get cleaner. Also, helpful context: the envt'l impacts of retired solar panels "will be dwarfed by the amount of plastic, coal ash and municipal waste generated per year if there isn't a major push to decarbonize." www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...
Jobs love to make you use a new, worse app for the same thing
Hot tip to all climate communicators: never, EVER, talk about MT of emissions. I’ve been working on climate for 15 years and I still barely know what 1 or 50 megatonnes of GHG means. Keep the data to reports, when communicating with the public plz always use social math to show scale.
“Positive social change results mostly from connecting more deeply to the people around you than rising above them, from coordinated rather than solo action… Our largest problems won’t be solved by heroes. They’ll be solved, if they are, by movements, coalitions, civil society.”
