We actually do have a lot of options when it comes to green energy expansion and shifting our agricultural methods.
I think we ought to do less heel dragging on the matter.
The gift that keeps on giving: How solar panels on farms can help increase crop yields
A new study finds farmers can enjoy increased crop yeilds under partial shade of solar panels long after they stop working decades from now.

We've been playing chicken with keeping a livable climate.
We are gonna get hurt, we waited too long, but if we jump off oil now we might survive the hit.
The way forward is in partnership of citizens of many nations with survival as the goal.
Corporations must be regulated or they will ruin us.
The world lost the climate gamble. Now it faces a dangerous new reality

We really must #StopMonopolies and the better regulated corporations are the less concentrated power they have to exert on #canpoli
This isn't just about our bills, it's about reducing corruption (and yes we do have a long way to go, but its a step)

Perspective check: not all deficits are created equal.

In 2009, Harper ran a $17 billion quarterly deficit.

In 2025, it’s $3.3 billion, in a tougher global economy.

Tell me again how conservatives are better at anything 🙄

Completely frivolous: Connections used the wrong Four.
Sorry, but words that go with 4 the number should not mix with OVEN.
The word 'Four' means 'oven' in French.
Petit Four is tiny baking or literally small oven. You can make a pun, but that doesn't "connect" to the others, Connections! Ahrg!

As Ontario burns, forest fire pilots are paid the second-lowest wages in Canada—while Doug Ford funds corporate handouts and vacations.

CBC tells these stories. That’s why they want it gone.

Defend facts. Defend public broadcasting.

Poilievre declaring war on the CBC would be the modern version of defunding and going to war against Mr. Dressup, The Friendly Giant, The Beachcombers and Hockey Night In Canada.

We need MORE Canadian heritage preserved. Not less.

Thunder stealing. David Eby said he was 'pondering' this and suddenly its "oh, you're skipping rope? Well, jump cause I said so!"
No credit Mr Con, as you aren't the man who sought Daylight from the start.
We should do this, but it should be made clear it's a nonpartisan issue.
