Hey everyone 👋🏼

Will you please take heed of what Mr. Schreiner has posted here regarding carbon “capture and storage”?

He knows the truth and he tells the truth.

Thanks for trying, Mike! Love ya man.
I also voted against government Bill 27 because carbon capture and storage is a waste of money, doesn’t work and is a form green washing that delays pragmatic climate action.

I've spent tens of thousands of words trying to come to grips with the massacre at the #Poly, the longest evening of my life. I was there, it was cold, it was gut-wrenching.
But the core of it remains: one pathetic little man with a gun can do more damage than the rest of us can ever undo.

Doctors Without Borders is deeply disappointed to see #Canada’s cuts to aid reflected in its reduced pledge to the #GlobalFund.

Such cuts will fuel the reversal of progress in the fight against HIV, TB and malaria.

Women and the 2SLGBTQI+ Community deserve to be free from violence.

It is not helpful to “All Lives Matter” this particular activism.

It is tone deaf. Please do better, Mr Prime Minister 🙏🏼
Today marks the beginning of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. 
 
Every Canadian deserves to be free from violence. This is not just a moral imperative — it is key to building a safer and more equitable Canada for everyone.

If AI succeeds, we need universal basic income, and if AI fails, we need universal basic income. Also, we should have implemented UBI decades ago when working class incomes first decoupled from productivity growth.
So if AI succeeds loads of people lose their jobs as they're replaced by AI, and if AI fails, loads of people lose their jobs as the economy crashes?
It’s amazing how this story has gone from 0 to 60 in UK press. There’s been no mainstream coverage to date but this morning the story is leading BBC News site & bulletins.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

that UBI lifts people out of poverty and in most cases allows them to thrive has been proven and written about time over time. however if you keep electing politicians that think poor people should die we won't get anywhere with this.

The federal budget heralded a new approach to "capital budgeting". I unpack the new framework, and find it's mostly about optics: centreforfuturework.ca/2025/11/05/f.... There's some genuine new investment in the budget, but not as much as Canada needs for the moment. #cdnecon #canlab #Budget2025
Federal Budget 2025: Unpacking the New Capital Budgeting Framework - Centre for Future Work
Leading into this budget, the Carney government made much of a new distinction between operational spending and capital spending: between “spending” and “investing”. However, in practice this distinct...

We’re glad to see #methane mentioned in the #federalbudget —but actions speak louder than words. Canada needs clear targets and timelines to drive these emissions down and give our kids a chance at a livable future. Cut it now - for our kids, our air, our future.

It is TIME for GBI!!!

Automatic filing makes this feasible.

Political will makes this reality.

Let’s take better care of each other.
