Throwing billions in public money behind a pipeline at a time of climate breakdown – while sweeping aside environmental protections, meaningful Indigenous consultation and workers’ right to strike – is absolutely not in the national interest.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

What some call "unused land" is often the last safe haven for countless living creatures. Wetlands are not empty spaces waiting to be developed. They are nurseries for birds, natural water filters, flood defenses, and wildlife habitats that cannot be replaced once lost.

“Canciones” is one of her best. But even after all the money Linda made for her label, they hated the idea of a Spanish-language album. “You owe me this,” she said. “Canciones” was for years “the biggest-selling non-English language album in US history, going double platinum and earning a Grammy” ✨

The new normal: private money is investing in clean energy and will reap rewards from the future while our public tax dollars will keep the oil and gas execs rich while they slide into irrelevance. Obscene. I had hopes for Mark Carney but he, like Doug Ford, has betrayed us.

We’re in the middle of a wave of 10th anniversaries of the murders that spurred the Black Lives Matter movement. A decade now that could’ve seen police reform or the “racial reckoning” much discussed in 2020 but no, just a lost decade of more racism and “DEI went too far” and greater police funding.

The Far Right riot in Belfast last night was nothing less than “a race-based pogrom”, Belfast MP and leader of the SDLP Claire Hanna said. The mob hunted down non-whites and set fire to their homes. Carl Whyte, a local councillor, called it “a hard Far Right element”.
