So awful Alberta Premier Danielle Smith cynically courts separatists and other alt-right extremist voters for her political benefit to leverage the rest of Canada with the threat of separation, and now those separatists don’t want ANY deal with Canada.

De Oosterscheldekering is hierin een belangrijke factor: hij beschermt ons tegen stormvloeden, maar beperkt ook een deel van de sedimentdynamiek die de zeearm nodig heeft om getijdengebieden -- van ondieptes naar droogvallende platen en slikken naar uiteindelijk schorren -- op te bouwen.

Canada needs to go full in on next gen green energy.
We have the know-how.
Now we need the vision and backing to do it, and stop the US from buying it and siphoning it down south.
Oil and gas are last century's resources.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.
