  Bet on it: another government giveaway on a technology that simply won't work. #carboncapture https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/pathways-oilsands-emissions-climate-9.7286204

  #Zelensky has now met 6 different #British Prime Ministers. Think about that: SIX!. So...who has the more stable government? Wartime Ukraine or the UK?

  @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org The world progresses: about 30+ years ago a couple of young guys signed up for a sewing course in Burnaby BC; the business tried to exclude them, claimed they had the wrong goals or intentions. I think it became a human rights issue. I also think they eventually learned to sew. Me? My wife taught me and our sons to sew: "teach a man to fish and he'll mend his own damned clothes". Or am I mixing it up?

  Quel irony: as #Trump criticizes and threatens #Canada over its wildfires, a wildfire from Washington state crosses INTO Canada. If we can keep Trump and his GOP toadies out of it, Canada, its provinces, and the US states will work together just fine. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/united-states-trump-wildfire-smoke-complaints-9.7281922

  Stop calling this moron the "Secretary of War"; you're drinking his koolaid. Strictly speaking it's illegal to do so: only #Congress can set the title - he's the Secretary of Defense until they say otherwise. Instead of testing his testosterone they should test his grey matter. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/hegseth-us-troops-testosterone-9.7271460

  Ok, Canucks: what's your favourite roadside attraction? Are huge roadside attractions uniquely Canadian? I love Mr. PG in #PrinceGeorge (there were once 4, one for each highway entrance) now reduced to one. And I love Houston (BC)'s huge fly rod. What's yours? Nickel? Pysanky (Vegreville AB)?

  Interesting: to meet the 'challenging' increases in military spending in #Canada, the article says the C.D. Howe Institute recommends increasing the GST and that "...the government has promised no tax increases.". Sure: raise the GST (Harper was stupid to slash it years ago) so EVERYONE pays. How about this: TAX. THE. RICH. We've entered a time of new Robber Barons. Time to wake up. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/defence-spending-canada-uk-nato-9.7266431

I suspect Carney is as stupid as Trudeau. I don’t want to own another pipeline. #Goinggreen

  Not at all surprised that it's #AdrienneClarkson who seems to be leading the pack at the public teat as former #GovernorGeneral (how many have we had since her?) It's been 21 years since she left office. 5 years in, 21 out, and still at the trough. She always seemed very entitled to me. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/former-governors-general-expense-account-9.7188412?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-ca

Not true. 85% of folks who attempt suicide, if given mental health care, never try again.

  I can't believe this: the #IDF kills 70,000+ in Gaza, shoots journalists, kills medics, but...investigates a soldier smashing a crucifix? Has the world gone crazy? (Don't answer). https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/israel-soldier-crucifix-south-lebanon-9.7170084
