DFO has approved MORE than 60 new crossings in the Upper #Oldman, including a bridge at one of the most important bull trout spawning sites in the Eastern Slopes.
Send your letter today to demand that the permit be revoked, and Alberta’s at-risk native trout be protected. bit.ly/3NCATVF
When water loses, you lose.
This is the insanity that took over the White House.
At home, in Alberta, separatists are dutifully collaborating.
This insanity poses a real national security threat for Canada and, eventually, for the world.
Separatists aren’t just angry convoy truckers, they’re dangerous.

This isn’t about “saving alberta”.
The same folks pushing separation to save Alberta from “Canada’ collapse” are also advocating for Quebec to leave Canada.
This isn’t about Alberta.
It’s about destabilizing and destroying Canada.

In a year-end interview, Premier Danielle Smith says her government used the notwithstanding clause to impose a new contract onto teachers because gov't worried an arbitrator would impose pupil-teacher ratios, as teachers said they wanted

No big deal, but the Alberta government just increased the fee to submit a citizen initiated petition from $500 to $25, 000. After the separatism initiative was approved, but before Corb Lund's coal mining petition gets re-approved. No political shenanigans going on here.
Ask yourself 2 important questions - do you know where your water comes from? and what happens if there isn't a glacier to get that water from?
It's funny that "Earth" had to be labeled...
At tonight’s “consultation”…
When a high school kid tried to raise concerns about the teachers strike, Bruce McAllister cut the kids mic and then suggested his parents should have beaten him more.
Listen to the clip yourself…
It’s…
Telling.

From the DM's...
Received this from a teacher who wanted to highlight what kind of reforms are actually needed to make sure that Alberta's students and teachers get the funding they so desperately need.

Microwaving a Hot Pocket takes 2 minutes (120 seconds). Google says Gemini uses 0.24 Watt-hours per prompt, about the same as using the microwave for 1 second. THEREFORE, you can either do 120 AI prompts or make 1 Hot Pocket for the same energy. AI is 1/120 Hot Pocket Units. bsky.app/profile/dave...
Wait. Marc Thiessen has never heard of batteries? And he's still employed by the Washington Post?
It's been a long week. So here's just a pretty graphic for your Friday evening... Simulation of atmospheric aerosols in our intricate Earth system.
Sea salt (cyan), dust (magenta), black carbon (orange/red), and sulfates (green)

Text from the 1990 global change research act (see link above).
The US Global Change Research Program's website, including all its sub-domains that host the National Climate Assessments and related reports, is now offline.
The 1990 Global Change Research Act (see below) mandates its research findings be available to all federal agencies & departments.
It's actually from the industrial carbon tax fund - Levy collected from large industrial emitters. Last line in the story.
Not acceptable for anyone to be threatened like that. Not acceptable in a democracy either.
If you are worried about climate solutions and cropland first on your list should be food crop based biofuels (not solar)
The Birch Glacier above the village of Blatten collapsed and caused a landslide that has buried most of the village. Authorities had evacuated residents earlier this month, but one person is missing.
Terrible news from Switzerland, but good for the BBC on explicitly calling out the direct role of #climatechange in this disaster.

A Brief History of Young People Today Don't Want to Work
🧵
If Earth stays at its current levels of warming — below policymakers’ goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius — polar ice sheets may melt, causing seas to rise and displacing millions in coastal communities, a new study finds.
Alberta has long accused Ottawa of trying to destroy its oil industry. That’s a dangerous myth
Hey: "started by people" does NOT = arson.
Most ignitions are accidental: dumping burning trash into dry brush; an old yard appliance shorting out when plugged into the shed; gender reveal fireworks; and most of all, power lines sparking.
Only 7% of CA fires are arson, the rest are accidents.
Message from Ukraine:
Thank you, Canada.
For being yourselves when so many others are trying to be worse.
You reminded us that we are not alone.
Because of you, this morning felt a little less like the end of the world.
And more like something worth staying alive for.

Ironic that just as Trump and the GOP are working to destroy American universities, the Chinese are adopting the US model and massively investing in universities, science, and education.
In China, there is one university ALONE that has 38,000 students devoted to studying energy and water resources.
Graph of CO2 concentrations for the past 800,000 years from the Antarctic ice cores, showing current CO2 levels of 430 ppm are far, far higher than any level over this period, which never exceeded 300 ppm. Also shown is the emergence of Homo sapiens around 200,000 years ago -- so CO2 levels are higher than we've ever experienced.
You are here.
We've breached 430 ppm CO2.

A bunch of bananas on a table. Above it one speech bubble comes from the left that says bananas are yellow. On the right a speech bubble says bananas are red. Above both is a speech bubble between them that says bananas are orange. Fact with an arrow points to yellow, opinion with an arrow points to red and middle with an arrow points to orange. Middle Ground Fallacy. Suggests that the middle point between two opposing views is automatically the most accurate.
The truth isn't always found halfway between two opinions. Sometimes it's firmly on one side.
