“We were exceptionally invisible at COP30,” said Vipond. “I don't feel like we were actively hindering progress, but in no way were we seen as catalysts for change.

“We were just neutral, happy to have the more nefarious countries push the process towards failure and not intervene to support it.”
The world is splitting between petro and electro states, and Canada risks being left in the dust

The GOP is the party of death and disease. Change my mind.
Exactly right:

“More disease means a much larger market for the supplements and miracle cures he and his friends are selling. More disease means there will always be a need for MAHA. More disease means more death, and the body count will be the achievement by which Kennedy’s legacy is measured.”
Every day is a new opportunity for RFK Jr to make more kids susceptible to more preventable diseases, and every day is a new opportunity for us to stop this culty fucking creep from killing more of our kids

Say What? Mark Carney Invoking John Horgan Over the Alberta to BC Pipeline?

Horgan challenged TMX, invoking "cooperative federalism," the same principle @mark-carney.bsky.social said drives the Canada/Alberta pipeline MOU.

This story is getting weird.
