it makes me sad that i grew up all my life with the core knowledge that Nazis are bad.... and that seemed to be a universally held - and upheld - truth. But then everyone got addicted to social media platforms and now it's fine if those companies pay Nazis to post rage bait. People will just keep scrolling anyway. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-06/ragebait-how-facebook-is-paying-controversial-creators/106940696 #socialmedia #facebook #meta #morality #laziness #memory #nazi #neonazi #...

Mark Carney: I don’t care about Climate Change, I’m building another oil pipeline to Burnaby. Canada Strong! Mother Nature: How strong exactly? Hold my beer. (A wildfire has broken out on the north side of Burrard Inlet, about 7km northeast of the Burnaby oil terminal, the terminus of the Transmountain Pipeline. It is currently 1.5ha and out of control but updates often come slowly on the web. News reports are that a few homes have been “tactically evacuated” and more evacuations may come acco...

RE: https://mastodon.social/@MAKS23/117033665964285877 more water shortages at nuclear plants. Until they use little to no fresh water for cooling, current plants are not a realistic solution to the fossil fuel transition and building new is ludicrous when renewables, even with battery systems, are orders of magnitude cheaper and less environmentally needy. #endfossilfuels #nuclear #solar #wind #heat #climateChange

EV cars charging measured in seconds? Coming to Carney’s Canada in a Decade, maybe. (That’s 315 million seconds) “BYD says its Blade 2.0 can charge from 10-70% in 5 minutes. And Geely one-upped BYD by saying its Golden Brick can charge the same amount in 4 minutes and 22 seconds.” On the bright side, I was watching a YouTube a few days ago talking about the various mostly-American based brands that are near bankruptcy (again). Maybe they’ll finally go away and we can have 21st century cars th...

This is cool. But new train sitting on the siding for 4 hours to wait for a freight train when the entire journey is supposed to take 4 hours is the actual problem no one in government wants to solve. VIA Rail remains a national embarrassment because of successive Liberal and Conservative policy. Now they’ll just be a national embarrassment with new rolling stock. Oh and people can barely afford to take it across the country. It is mostly an embarrassing tourist fraud with spectacular views....

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@dbattistella/116963876163982345 Every Mayor of every city in the world should put out a statement like this. Perhaps then, senior governments would understand that people are craving accountability for so many things, but especially the horrendous genocide happening in Gaza perpetrated by Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu. #mamdani #Israel #Palestine #USA #Israel #Genocide #ICC

They know they’re lying to themselves….. they are the manifestation of the right wing fever dream. ““Our counterterrorism doctrine has had a blind spot when it comes to extremist violence from the political left. Even today, the very idea that far-left terrorism could be a serious threat is treated as a right-wing fever dream.”” I can’t believe Carney actually sent people to this “event”…. And yet I can… The claims in this statement are batshit crazy, and also classic propaganda that could h...

Of course the first Chinese EV coming in to Canada is some high end expensive monster. Maybe Carney can afford one.

I would make a U-boat joke, but that would be inappropriate. Looks like the German/Norwegian bid is it! Honestly, from a NATO and EU perspective it makes sense. I think the two bids were very very similar. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/submarines-germany-canada-norway-south-korea-9.7259709 #Submarines #canPoli #CdnPoli #NATO

This is how far behind and how much of a disadvantage Canadians are at right now domestically. Walk into Canadian Tire and you can by a 500W "kit” of 4 125W solar panels from $1199. That works out to $2.40 per Watt. Or, you can go on Alibaba as I just did... search for 400W solar, chat with a (AI Bot probably?) and be offered 36 620 watt "JinkoSolar" panels for $US 2500 plus $3000 shipping which works out to $8,510.88 CAD or $0.38 per Watt.

One of the many things I love about Quebeccers, is they care about the environment and they also know a fraud when they see one. Mark Carney is a fraud on the environment. “Oui, Carney est pire qu’Harper en environment” I don't think I need to translate the headline. :) #Carney #CanPoli #CdnPoli #Environment #ClimateChange #ClimateEmergency #OilGas #EndFossilFuels #Quebec #Francais https://www.journaldequebec.com/2026/05/13/oui-carney-est-pire-quharper-en-environnement
