Canadas team will play in a tournament put together by a corrupt organization and play some of their games in a corrupt, fascist and fascist state. Why should I care or watch any of #fifiaworldcup ??
The #CanMNT's Group B is #8 out of 12 groups in average FIFA Ranking, and #12 out of 12 by average Elo Rating. IF you average the UEFA Playoff A teams' rankings, that is
If Italy qualifies, Group B becomes #2 out of 12 by FIFA Rankings, and #8 out of 12 by Elo Ratings. Big swing

So Bondi and Kash make a big deal out of arresting the J6 pipe bomber then the guy confesses that he is a Trump supporter who thought the 2020 election was stolen and his lawyer is arguing that Trump’s broadly-worded J6 blanket pardon applies to him and he should go free. Poetry.

For @mark-carney.bsky.social We need to see declines in emissions (absolute not on a per barrel basis) through this MOU with Alberta. Nothing less. Without real declines this is a vacuous document. Don’t care what the price of carbon is or is going to. Whatever. Just get declines in emissions.

Perspective: US guns flood Mexico and arm cartels. If we’re blowing up boats and people because of what they’re allegedly bringing into our country, would it be acceptable for Mexico to start blowing up Americans for what we bring into theirs? That’s the logic MAGA is pushing.

Next Trump will give him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Congressman Henry Cuellar was indicted for money laundering, bribery, and conspiracy, allegedly taking about $600,000, mostly from Azerbaijan, to influence U.S. policy.
President Donald Trump pardoned Cuellar, because Trump supports money laundering, bribery, and conspiracy.

Clean electricity is officially growing fast enough in China that the level of fossil generation is falling, even as overall demand rises. They've gotten over the hump.

Natural question arises: who is farther out on the limb? Carney or Smith?? Both are out there and need to deliver something real. Kind of nice that both are at risk ….
Danielle Smith tried to sell her federal-Alberta energy deal to the UCP convention crowd: tepid applause.
She told them that this proved Canada can work well for Alberta’s interests: loud boos.
This ain’t a base that wants Smith to work with a Liberal PM on a better industrial carbon tax.

The race is on between the Pathways carbon capture project and the new pipeline. My bet ... neither will have true 'shovels in the ground' and within 24 months of real operation before 2035. We need to look at the other provisions of this Can/AB MOU and see what will/can be done.

Hello @mark-carney.bsky.social This rings true. Economics is fine …… but sustainable development has both societal and environmental considerations. Society in Alberta is suffering. Going to say or do anything?
They aren't. Carney has stayed mum on every Maga style policy Smith enacted. Has never spoken up for the Charter or human rights. He's money, money, money, honey.

I think Max is right in many ways - Carney traded real opportunity for a pipe dream. But …. He needs some success soon to withstand the endless grilling on this.
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.

Hello @mark-carney.bsky.social Notwithstanding all the valuable international work, you really need to put some focus on #Alberta. All is not well when a government needs to repeatedly invoke the notwithstanding clause. A callous disregard for democracy.

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
