If we want to improve our economy’s productivity— and we should — we’d be better off learning from Western and Northern Europe than from the United States.
(Though we have to infer ours from “northern North America” in this)

The @seancasten.bsky.social thread on @mattyglesias.bsky.social's O&G article gets basic stuff wrong.
- "keep it in the ground" is an outcome, not a strategy
- US net exports of O&G are good for decarb, particularly if we redistribute producer earnings and invest in clean energy + electrification

Very few people follow degrowth.
Unfortunately, that small number includes the leadership of all the big name brand green organizations and their influence keeps hobbling the Democratic Party and responsible efforts to address climate change.

Degrowth is a relatively obscure concept. People like you feel like you have to elevate it because it’s a foil for you, not because it’s something all that many people actually follow.

I'll be honest, I've been loling at freakouts over the MOU.
We'll still see if anything comes of it, there's no proposed *project* as of now. But a good move by Carney.

The number of pro-Trump “American” accounts on Twitter being exposed as being from Africa or Asia is about as expected.
Social media has been terrible at fighting foreign propaganda and ops. 2016 is an obvious example.

This is why I’ve never warmed to the idea of PR, which would fragment Parliament even more.
The idea it’s going to lead to “more compromise and better working Parliament” just isn’t supported by the evidence of current minority parliaments.

Minority parliaments, in theory: Parties forced to work together, government held to account, real compromise, substantive accomplishment.

"How did we end up in a world where truth doesn't matter," they asked
It might be, when you're fighting to save democracy or fight for what is objectively a good cause, and in this case RW propaganda is the root cause of our troubles. The US used propaganda extensively in WWII. Counterpropanda *is* propaganda, and it may or may not be truth based.

No couple making over $100k of income each year should be receiving OAS.
This budget will test whether Carney is ready to cut OAS waste to make room for real priorities. That means standing up to those who demand untargeted Old Age Security hikes that would pad six-figure retirements and leave too many seniors poor. #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/pe...

Good news for the King.
There is precedent for stripping a royal title from a troublesome family member: Henry VIII decreed that his daughters were no longer Princesses
One wrinkle: He did so by declaring them illegitimate.
