You are correct. It is just automated tax filing. Dang 😡

Background: Low income Canadian lost out big time with the cut of the federal rebate. This is not a new program to inject more money into low income households.

Wonderful news before a long weekend. Hopefully this makes up for the loss of the Carbon Rebate which had a disproportionate impact on low-income earners.

In two weeks, we’ll be on Parliament Hill asking our MPs to “Meet the Moment.” The economy’s transformation is already underway, and we want our MPs to know we’ve got their back on climate.

Hey @mark-carney.bsky.social why is Canada fast tracking new #LNG projects when the price of gas is negative?

This is a tragedy and it's not on the horizon. It's right here right now.

Canadian Gas Hits Sub-Zero as LNG Plant Hiccups Keep Supply High
Canada’s benchmark gas price has tumbled to a record low as production hiccups at the country’s first LNG export plant on the British Columbia coast contributed to a surplus of supply.

Cut emissions 70% by 2035? There’s only one policy that can get us there
To cut emissions fast, the Australian government will have to dial back its command-and-control approach – and put a price on carbon.

The lies spouted by a significant leader at the UN are easily debunked.
Climate change is killing people.
Thus, lying about solutions is killing people.
Imagine if politicians were held to same professional standards as medical doctors, scientists and engineers.
