The tar sands is a foreign owned pollution generator that contributes very little positive to Canada and a whole lot of negative including billions in liability for Canadians . Alberta does not clean it's own toxic cesspool .

A tipping point is a critical threshold where a small change leads to self-reinforcing feedbacks that push a system into a new, often irreversible state.

e.g. Greenland ice sheet: Once melting reaches a certain point, it accelerates due to reduced reflectivity contributing to further warming.

Planet’s first catastrophic climate tipping point reached, report says, with coral reefs facing ‘widespread dieback’

Unless global heating is reduced to 1.2C ‘as fast as possible’, warm water coral reefs will not remain ‘at any meaningful scale’, a report by 160 scientists from 23 countries warns

Pushing for a cease fire so you can look good in a genocide you specifically enabled, at the same time as you’re assaulting your own democracy & waging war on your own cities, is never going to get you a prize for peace. If there’s a prize for hypocrisy and narcissism though, you’ve got a real shot.

The International Energy Agency expects greenhouse gas emissions from data centres' energy consumption to double in the next five years as a proportion of emissions from burning fossil fuels.

The tech bros motto should not be "move fast and break things," but "burn, baby, burn."

Opinion: Artificial intelligence: the good, the bad and the ugly environmental costs

AI data centres’ insatiable need for energy is driving quickie solutions that aren’t good for the planet

On the school board trustee front…

Hearing some “elections workers” were at advance polling stations in #yyc telling people that candidates had dropped out so there would be no trustee ballots.

When those candidates had not dropped out.

The health mandate letters are out and it’s clear the UCP cares more about privatization and Corrupt Care than you.

While the UCP are siphoning public funds to private operators and charging people for vaccines, over one million Albertans still don’t have a family doctor. #abhealth #ableg #abpoli

The AB Conservatives have failed to properly manage the economy and now are facing their comeuppance. The blew out the Heritage Trust Fund, failed to diversify away from a single-industry economy, ruined the social safety net, eroded education, and destroyed any inter-provincial goodwill.
FAFO!

Just like Kenney did with 1.4Billion pipeline to US border, he knew President Biden didn’t want it.

The Premier of Alberta is up to her perpetually confused brow in scandals; the teachers are on strike and there’s no end to that in sight, we’re still waiting on the report about the procurement scandal …

The pipeline is THEATRE. It’s not real. It’s a distraction, and it’s a cover - that’s it.
