I think it is past the time when NATO can expect words and meetings to resolve the Trump threats against NATO. It is time to place a small but symbolic NATO presence in Greenland and Canada. Confronting both Russian and American threats unfortunately requires a presence at both fronts.

When asked if she’d write a book, former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos said the challenge is that a book has to be believable—"and there's just so much that has happened that is unbelievable."

#3) Here Comes the Sun by @billmckibben.bsky.social.

Politics may be largely broken in the Western World, but there's no stopping the solar express train.

Technological innovation continues. How will essentially free energy change our world, and help our climate?

Gives me hope.

I recently turned down an invite to speak at a conference in Maine, which is full of people I know and admire, but I am sorry, I don’t know when if ever I will use my Nexus card again, this is so over.
This is not a spoof. This is an actual post on the official US State Department account.

The US has now officially declared itself to be a militaristic, hegemonic state dedicated to subjugating neighboring nations.

The Trump Administration is following in the footsteps of Hitler and Stalin.

Danielle Smith cares so little for Albertans Charter rights she can’t even be bothered to sit in the legislature when it happens.

Instead?

She’s off on another taxpayer funded vacation.

Opinion piece from David King, former Alberta Minister of Education in a Progressive Conservative government, published in the Edmonton Journal (of all places), addressing the conduct of the UCP towards our public education system.

It is absolutely worth reading.

Opinion: Alberta undermining public education — and democracy
Any government that undermines ... the project of improving public school education in the face of difficulty is undermining ... democracy.

I think the HoC needs a big jar in the middle of the floor that a politician needs to put a twoonie into each time they say something false, misleading, or heckle pointlessly during sessions.

We’d wipe out the debt in one session.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

How delightfully selective bodily autonomy applies to vaccines but not wombs. Apparently the Constitution protects your right to spread measles but not to choose motherhood. One can only admire such principled inconsistency. Freedom means infecting babies, tyranny means reproductive choice.

Hopefully the book ban in Alberta schools translates into increased business for book retailers and kids motivated to read to spite the government- silver linings.

This is the real consequence of a government that can't think past their first reaction.

The UCP's book ban was poorly thought out, written & executed with unintended consequences that are disastrous.

Everyone saw this coming but them.

Really important that Canada loving Albertans make an effort to find one of locations where signatures are being collected - and make a plan to sign the petition.

If successful, this effort will seriously damage the UCP.

This is bad. Creepy, dangerous stuff. Someone doesn't want Carrie Tait investigating allegations of political interference at Alberta’s provincial health authority and is tracking her in public and private settings. Stalking her.
