A UBC professor says the time is now to wake up, smell the coffee and be serious about the way B.C. manages its forests because it affects our water.

Now that Trump has cut off critical air defence aid used to save civilian lives, #Ukraine is free to renew targeting Russia's oil refineries. Go for it in a big way: Europe is weak; Starmer, Macron & Merz are cowards; and Trump is a Russian ally.

The US, UK & EU handling of #Ukraine is absolutely deplorable. Macron, Starmer & Merz are worse than Trump. At least Trump (like Putin) says what he is going to do, and mostly does it; whereas Macron, Starmer & Merz provide endless statements & never follow thru with needed action. Immoral cowards.

One aspect of global affairs that I find to be particularly depressing is that I am daily reminded that, in geopolitics as in school, the worst bullies are flabby and weak.

He lost while trying to speak in two tongues. But it’s impossible to appear calmly sane while not insulting the far right.

‘Active Management’ Harms Forests — And It’s About to Get a Whole Lot Worse • The Revelator
Forest management approaches promoted as “resilience,” “restoration,” “fuel reduction,” and “forest health” often degrade natural systems and reduce carbon stocks.

We call current forestry “sustainable,” but it isn’t — not in any real or lasting way.

Trump's character flaws: perverse need for grievance; ever increasing need for attention, good or bad; & ingrained need to win where life is a zero-sum game in which everyone else has to be the loser. To avoid his being the big loser, Trump is playing Russian roulette with himself. #uspoli #cdnpoli

Wrecking a national bulwark makes sense if Poilievre is fine with foreign assimilation. What would Machiavelli say?

If you haven't yet voted in the Canadian election, Mark Carney's performance in this interview will dispel any lingering doubts in your mind about his being the best person to lead Canada.

It is ironic that in vilifying Trudeau over 10 years, Poilievre sowed his own demise. Yes, Canadians were tired of Trudeau, but, once he was gone, they grew tired of Poilievre, who couldn't let go of Trudeau. As the old cautionary maxim goes: "Be careful what you wish for". #election2025 #cdnpoli
