BC "among the world’s most aggressive extractors of climate-destabilizing #fossilfuels, per capita — and major projects that are already being built aim to make the province’s contribution much worse." @bsaxifrage.bsky.social www.nationalobserver.com/2025/10/22/a... #bcpoli #CleanBC

The CO2 extractors: British Columbians are among world's most aggressive

They rocketed past the Americans decades ago. Now they are set to blow past even the Saudis with a massive new LNG industry – in charts.

According to @policyalternatives.ca, 59% of the Liberals’ public sector cuts will fall on women.

If Carney wants to regain the trust of women after forcing flight attendants at Air Canada back to unpaid work, why won’t he reverse these devastating cuts?

Along with fellow author J.B. Mackinnon, I've put my name on a class action suit against Anthropic and other A.I. companies.

We believe they used our books, and those of 1000s of other authors, to train their LLMs, without payment.

Flotille vers Gaza | Nimâ Machouf de retour à Montréal

La militante et épidémiologue montréalaise Nimâ Machouf est rentrée ce dimanche à Montréal. À l’instar de cinq autres Canadiens, la Dre Machouf était incarcérée en Israël, après avoir été arrêtée à bord du Conscience, un navire faisant partie de la flottille qui avait tenté de livrer de l’aide humanitaire à la bande de Gaza.

Free #parking facilitation, Charlottetown-style.
Revenue loss was likely much higher than the $640 indicated in the report, considering that meter enforcement really ends at 4 PM on weekdays when commissionaires finish working.
It's past time for #parkingreform.

The second flotilla is now in the ‘red zone’ where Israel has previously abducted flotillas and trafficked them onwards to false imprisonment. We’ll do all we can to reach Gaza, but if they stop us it will likely be within 24 hours. Track us here: thousandmadleens.fr/tracker
