Consummate eye-roller. Purveyor of snark & sarcasm. Lady in the streets, freak in the spreadsheets. Foodie. Lapsed political activist. That HR person you've been warned about. No tankers. No pipelines. No problems.

People smarter than me about these things are going to have to explain to me how offshoring our pensions to an authoritarian regime who runs a slave trade is a good thing. #cdnpoli
Mark Carney is parking our pensions with the UAE? #cdnpoli #Canadasky

I picture the NDP leadership candidates as being interim candidates. Their goal is not to form the next government, but to build up the party. They may not reach out to Quebeckers right now. They can start building their base in 24 extra seats in English Canada. The following election... #cdnpoli

The way to read the Canada-Alberta MOU is that Carney is using the Trump effect as political cover to pursue the deregulatory agenda he’s long wanted. I spoke with @naomiaklein.bsky.social who called it a classic example of the shock doctrine.
Did the climate world misread Carney?
Many in the climate movement saw a fellow traveller in Mark Carney — the man who could preach climate action in the language of finance — but what if they were wrong from the very start?

People are debating whether he's playing smart political chess, or capitulating to the fossil fuel sector, but the other option here is that this is just what he wants to do and is using the political moment we're in to ram his vision through any opposition to it.

I have a special interest in #wildcrafting and #herbalmedicine. Winter is not usually a great time to observe plants. However, the lack of foliage exposed rosehips, nettles, wild crab apples, an abundance of mushroom species, snow berries, mountain ash.

When Canadian politics were fun and decent, I had friends working in every party and we would get drunk and make fun of each other’s candidates and I can’t articulate how much I miss life before everyone went partisan lizard brain.

"That damn notwithstanding clause. Born in 1982, it was an ugly baby that grew up to be a repulsive troll. Originally intended to placate nationalists in Quebec, it has since proved to be the only kind of bilingualism the governments of Alberta and Saskatchewan ever wanted to learn."
