Build modern housing. Build modern infrastructure. Build modern democracy.

More power generation is ok, but efficiency is the game-changer.

Yes it can be done in Canada.

For many years Metrolinx has turned into a big construction company that happens to run some trains. The goal is to spend money and keep the construction industry busy. Transit is an accidental beneficiary at best.

"Putin says..." is about as linked to reality as "Trump says..." just like other manure spreaders of this world.
🤡 Putin: Our “Special Military Operation” is not the start of a war, but rather an attempt to end one that the West ignited using Ukrainian nationalists.

Peace in our time...on a piece of paper yet again?
OTD in 1994 Russia signed the Budapest memo, guaranteeing Ukraine's territorial integrity in exchange for their nukes, 44 Ukrainian Tu-22 heavy bombers and 1,068 Kh-55 cruise missiles.

Which have been fired at Ukraine in this war.

Jesse Marsch has one unwavering goal in mind for Canada at next summer’s World Cup.

“We want to win our group,” says the men’s national team head coach.

How Canada can achieve that will be revealed when Marsch and the rest of the world learn who they will play in Friday’s draw.

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

This is an excellent conversation about what Carney is really up to with the MOU with Alberta.

They also discuss how this agreement paves the way for more renewables with immediate higher carbon pricing and grid linking between BC hydro and AB & SK wind & solar.

I do not hold a membership to any political party in Canada and I can tell you PM Carney is out there doing EXACTLY what I voted for him to do— someone with economic literacy to build relationships for Canada around the USA. That was my top job for him.

This. Russia is in a hurry to take advantage of Trump while he still is powerful / lucid / alive.
With all the noise being made about the US/Russia peace plan the admin is trying to foist on Ukraine, it’s important to understand why the full-court press is happening right now. Why Orban is attempting to speak for the EU…
