I like how in his statement he tries to portray his tenure as environment minister as a great success that made lots of real progress on climate change 🙃

Maybe they could make it a “Youth Cleaning Up Abandoned Wells and Tailing Pond Spills” since we’re certainly not going to make the oil companies do that

“Quiet part loud” is simply how things are now

In tech they call this “eating our own dog food” and it’s never been more apt as a metaphor

“His physique, while not Olympian…” oh come now, no need for modesty

“moral clarity”

Someone’s gotta think of the mom-and-pop scammers struggling to make ends meet

Haven’t you seen the layoff numbers? That’s pure value for shareholders 🤑🤑🤑

And if you don’t happily accept the risk of electrocution, well you’re just a small-minded enemy of progress

Just think of the struggling mom-and-pop yacht enthusiasts who were having a hard time making ends meet under that oppressive government tax grab 😞

If guaranteeing essentials sounds radical in 2025, it speaks to how far we’ve drifted from democracy’s core promise. Markets will not save democracy.

No no, this time it’s powered by AI so nothing bad could happen

Reminds me of the freakout when Bob Rae’s NDP won in Ontario in the early 90s. Hopefully Mamdani doesn’t go down the Rae path

“People who dare to question the AI revolution” or whatever it was 🙃

But wait, we simply need to subsidize more tar sands extraction, which we can use to power massive AI data centres so that the AI can spontaneously figure out the One Weird Trick to solve climate change. It’s called private-sector efficiency 👍
