If you are charged, don’t get bail, can’t work for months, you could lose your home, your job, your kids.

If then you are found not guilty, what has it cost you?

People with prior convictions for violent crime or fraud? Keep them in. Otherwise, crown should make the case to keep them.

Thing is. If they lost some of the sensible conservatives to Carney. What if they get them back but lose the unhinged? Can they still win?

I was reading the beautiful, measured arguments of the PM and then we get to “it will require carbon capture and storage”. Really. That’s unicorn tech. Same with “modular housing is cheaper”.

He does not get on-the-ground details. And he’s betting the farm on it.

'The climate cares about results. An outcome is not a policy. What makes a difference to the climate is whether or not emissions come down… Related to this is ending "fugitive methane flaring," which is up to 70 times a bigger contributor to climate change than CO2’

No. It's because the issues are created and fed by oil and gas disinformation that has succeeded in establishing a new conservative base. Entirely made up stuff, ardently believed and PP needs to let them know he's their man. If he gets power he will protect fossil fuels.

2025 feels like that late-stage game of monopoly where you just go round and round paying rent and utilities forever and nobody knows what the rules are anymore and everyone’s just waiting for it all to end except the one player who cheated and has all the money

We really need to clamp down on social media like X and FB in Canada. How these platforms use data scraping, AI, and sophisticated perception management algorithms to manipulate people is insidious & should absolutely be illegal. Canada needs digital social media sovereignty / democracy.

How much does Canada collect?
#ABPoli

Glenn Connley @glennconnley.bsky.social · 2d

So, Australia collects 43 cents per $100 of exported gas.

Qatar collects 46 DOLLARS per $100 of exported gas

And Norway collects 56 DOLLARS per $100 of exported oil

This is not just a piss take ... it's the out and out theft of our natural resources.

The good news is we could do the right thing and still be prosperous. But not if we build pipelines.

I hate to think what boys and young men are learning from watching such behavior and how it makes girls and young women. Parents need to teach that this is not acceptable.
