In a world demanding low-carbon energy, an oil pipeline is a risky multi-billion-dollar, multi-decade gamble.
And without strengthened industrial carbon pricing, a new pipeline would continue to increase oilsands emissions — even with the Pathways carbon capture project.

The PM is talking about nation-building. We need to be talking about being a nation where people aren't dependent on food banks and are able to live in affordable homes.
A nation where people are not left behind.

Faculty discipline committees should really normalize de-tenuring/dismissal investigations for the sort of behavior described in the Summers case
A senior academic using mentoring as leverage to obtain sex is a contemptible abuser of power.
Summers conferred with Epstein frequently about how to extract sexual favors from a Harvard econ grad (AB '04, PhD '09)
The grad is from China
Epstein and Summers referred to her by the codename "Peril"
Racism and sexual exploitation in one efficient package
