Signs of Winter coming .. took the girls out on our long Saturday walk, walking along the lake the usual cacophony of bird song was muted this morning. Was a lovely 10c.

Greenwashing with a heaping helping of grift.

I use lists, very helpful. But there are some volume posters that allow comments, but never react or reply. It's not a blog. Is it?

It's pretty well the same as the oiligarchs.

Beware? They run the World. They're aiding genocide. It could happen to any of us.

Harper made Canada the worst climate performer among industrial nations, ranked 58th best by the international Climate Change Performance Index.

Trudeau made Canada an even worse climate arsonist than under Harper, dropping us to an even more dismal 62nd place.

Carney: "Hold my beer."
