Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!

We love this incredible fact, but it also leads to the realisation that the first dinosaurs emerged in a completely different spiral arm of the galaxy!

Carney just signed a deal with Alberta that lays out conditions for a new oil pipeline.
In doing this, he managed to piss off one of his own cabinet ministers (who promptly resigned), coastal First Nations, the B.C. government, the Green Party and the Bloc Québécois.

Yea, Carney is Ronald Reagan, Bush, and Clinton in a bad banker haircut. His policy is abusive, his ideals are last century and his trickle down economics will ruin this country for decades to come.

The pipeline stuff will get the most attention, but the bottom line of the Ottawa-Alberta MOU policy-wise is that Carney is scrapping or softening most Trudeau-era climate-related regulations in favour of putting (almost) all his eggs in the industrial carbon pricing basket.

It’s funny that PP must be furious that Carney gets to do all the things he would have done. What’s frustrating is that when people are done with Carney, they will then vote conservative as if that hasn’t been what’s happening all along.

One of the reasons the O&G sector was so anti-Trudeau was that he was going to make them live up to shit they had already said they would do.
Imagine if you could get away with replacing your boss for asking you to do your job as described in your job description that you helped write.

hardly surprising but once again I reiterate that this oil and gas cap was based on the industries own commitment.
Would be nice for someone to acknowledge this and the fact they are completely walking it back.

So Olivia Nuzzi is clearly a piece of shit who can never work in journalism again after this.
And, also, Ryan Lizza is clearly a piece of shit who should never work in journalism again after this either.
We're all agree on that, right?
