Lesson from Venezuela: Carney Must Make 2026 the Year of Real Security
Day 3 of the new year and we already knew the mission, even before Trump bombed Caracas. Canada stood strong against annexation in 2025. In 2026, sovereignty and climate progress must go hand in hand.

I'm seeing claims that progress was made at #COP30, but it really wasn't. Each passing year with no fossil fuel phaseout comes at great opportunity cost as we further burn through the vanishing carbon budget that remains for averting dangerous warming. See my commentary: michaelmann.net/bad-cop/
