1) literally no climate activist says fossil fuels aren’t useful. If they weren’t useful then there’d be no problem!
2) The annual Abundance conference where Matty Yglesias was a paid speaker is sponsored by the Koch network.
3) The Liberals in Canada are not “the left”. Not this government.

“The mind-set shift needed here is to acknowledge that while climate change is real and harmful, the utility of fossil fuels is not something the oil and gas industry tricked the public into,” Matthew Yglesias writes.

Nice to see that Globe and Mail columnist Robyn Urback is allowed to once again just totally twist my words and falsely smear me as antisemitic with zero professional consequences.
This is the second time she’s done this to me personally, and she’s done this to others too.
Such an awful person.

Our healthcare system is in crisis. Decades of Liberal and Conservative policies have starved the system and let privatization creep in though every door.
Today, I’m releasing our plan to take back public healthcare – and finish the job Tommy Douglas started.

I wish this attitude would seep into Regina city council a little bit.
As of now, a vocal & influential contingent argue it IS council's job to supply free car storage. The rest of council is pretty much silent on the question. #yqrcc

I'm going to become a political consultant and tell Democrats they need to run moderates—but I'll come at it from a European perspective. Be a moderate, and support universal healthcare, free college, etc.
