It is so much easier to try and start scandals that actually do any work that benefits Canadians.

The sooner we decline the use of fossil fuels, the safer our one and only planet will be. The Amazon is irreplaceable in so many ways.

When DARPA developed the internet in the 1960s, it was precisely to create a communications system that could transfer messages when other systems had broken down--especially in a nuclear war.

AWS incident is why decentralization is more important than ever.

Too much power. Too much concentration risk for humanity.

Decentralize everything.

Everything everything.

Everything.

We need to support the Green Party more, Elizabeth May is right on the money again. We need to get rid of the politics of hate, we need truth and honesty from politicians. We need fact checking. We need politicians who are there for average Canadians, not their own personal aspirations.

We do need Cznadian Union labelled quality clothes that don't add microplastics to our water system. That aren't using 3rd world workers in terrible working conditions. That can be recycled, not just add to the growing garbage problem.

I really wish we would revive the once flourishing garment industry in Canada in unionized workplaces. Cheap fast fashion is bad for human rights and the environment.

Most of us have far more clothes than we need, we've become a society of excesses. Bombarded endlessly by a system that encourages everyone to buy buy and buy some more. We need to change how we think.

It's starting to feel like a slide back into serfdom almost everywhere in the world today. The question is, once the middle class is eliminated, who will these capitalists sell to? History shows us it doesn't end well.

Should we treat environmental crime more like murder?

Serial killers and violent criminals dominate the headlines. What if we covered ecocide and pollution in the same way?

Yes, when companies and/or politicians are aware of toxins getting into water systems and food chains in Canada fail to advise those reliant on those systems, there should be criminal charges.

I think the word is had a nominal capacity of up to 45 billion cubic meters of gas annually.
Doesn't look to me like it'll be running at nominal capacity again anytime soon.

Canada needs to step up and become a leader in conversion to green electrification. After all, if trump thinks oil and gas is the business to be in, then we know it's done for.

So, basically, Poilievre’s new campaign video boils down to (a) assuming all Canadians are stupid (b) he’s mad he can’t understand the big words Carney uses and (c) he’s too uneducated and stupid to do his job versus a smart PM.
