Friends, if the climate news has you despairing, I suggest searching the terms 'solarpunk', 'creation care', and 'rewilding' alongside obvious ones like 'sustainability' and 'climate resilience'. We have the solutions we need and there are lots of communities working on them!

"Our government understood before many that America would transform all of its commercial trading relationships," Carney says. Trump's America, we know, uses "economic integration as a weapons." In trying to negotiate, "we recognized that sometimes its signature was written in pencil."

This is superb. Wayne Horton may have invented a new genre of journalism. This is a deeply informed, wonderfully enlightening essay on how to behave in bad faith negotiations, as well as a perfect reading of Carney's manner and thinking, and it's satire. It is explanatory parody. And it's right.

Big fan of this policy and I think all politicians in Canada should get off Twitter because it's impossible to access a full chronological profile if people don't have an account. If I cannot see your full messaging as a political representative, you're not operating with transparency.
