An interesting and informative thread.
What strikes me in the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine are the similarities to the Winter War (1939-40) against Finland. However, I'm afraid the end result could be similar as well - but it doesn't need to be. A THREAD.

Prime Minister Mark Carney disagrees with the concept of a premier of one province unilaterally taking over a different province but his hands are tied by his unwillingness to do anything about it.

He wrote an entire white paper on the carbon crash. Don’t be naive. They are never building that pipeline and Carney needs Carbon tax harmonization so we can join rearm EU. A new grid then Nuclear for AB and they will be 💯 clean energy, that’s why they got an exemption on there grid. It’s ABs

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

It’s been tough for Canada- our neighbour and former best friend attacked our economy with tariffs and our sovereignty with illegal threats of annexation.
Thanks Prime Minister Carney for the constant good news and thanks to those sharing this news - goodness knows we need this.

#Canada tomorrow is budget day. If it passes, Canada will fly. If it doesn’t pass, we go to election ( in which case for a Christmas election, we should stuff our stocking with 190+ Liberal seats)
We need 2 votes OR 4 abstentions (which would for a 169–169 tie so Speaker breaks tie with yes vote)

After a reply, I’d like to clarify: this was not a feeling, it was a fact: the world was improving from human rights (women’s, LGBTQ etc) to the rapid and wonderful progress in medical treatments, vaccine access and development etc.
The tragedy is we’re going backwards and our children know this.

Yesterday’s sad convo.
Me: When growing up, the world felt like it was always getting better.
Mother: I feel badly for young people who don’t have the same hope we did.
A pic of my mother (a MD/Phd who spent her career fighting diseases) in a hopeful time.
May our children find hope again.

The devastating irony that will become painfully apparent when things get really bad, much worse than they are now, is that many people are basing their decision to ignore the reality of Covid19 on the idea that science, medicine, doctors, and scientists will bail us out when we need it.

It’s not the “lockdowns,” or at least that shouldn’t be our primary concern now. It’s the effects of the virus itself, which is a harder fact for people to face. Since there are no mitigations in society, new cases of cognitive dysfunction from COVID happen everyday. It’s not over.
Mounting research shows that COVID-19 leaves its mark on the brain, including significant drops in IQ scores
Two new high-profile studies add to the increasingly worrisome picture of how even mild cases of COVID-19 can have detrimental effects on brain health.
