At COP30 Canada just got awarded the fossil of the day — first time since 2014 (the harper years). Clear sign of how Carney’s pro fossil fuel agenda and backsliding on climate policy is being noticed internationally.

I usually share a new Palestinian account every day but today I am going to do a thread of people I’ve already verified impacted by the recent flooding in Gaza. If you can help any of these families- many who lost everything again- please do. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/14/m...
Heavy rainfall floods the camps of displaced Palestinians in Gaza | CNN
Displaced Palestinians in Gaza woke up Friday morning to inches of water flooding their tents, after heavy rainfall overnight left their shelters and belongings soaked with no way to dry them out.

Volunteering has taken me to a Christmas craft fair today, and I was not at all prepared for this sudden immersion into the cold fluids of the holiday season. The lights, the songs, etc. it’s all quite a lot!

Distressing that we have years of Mark Carney still to go in Canada. “Conservative, just with less smirking rudeness than Poilievre,” is a pretty bleak pitch for the future here.

"What should poor people be allowed to eat?" seems to be a burning question for those who aren't poor, have never been poor, and can afford to eat what they like, but want to keep poor people from eating anything that tastes really good. "No fresh meat," said Iowa, a few years ago.

It is beyond maddening that the vpd gets to trot out their little letter to Santa Claus budgets time after time, leaving everyone else to make cuts.

Some breaking news: in a special Vancouver Police Board meeting only announced over the weekend, the police board has requested a $50 million increase to their budget for 2026.
This comes as other departments across the city are trying to cut staff to ensure a property tax freeze for next year.

I really think the Jays win the World Series if IKF takes a better lead off of third base when he got thrown out by Rojas. Leads! The small things matter so much.
