META CONTROLS WHAT NEWS CANADIANS SEE! How many communities have lost newspapers? Are Canadians so addicted USA social media platforms, that they can't see them for the TRUE THREAT that they are to our country? Are not the Meta platforms akin to the 1930's pamphlet drops Germany did on Austria?

This as a gift. PM Carney has identified an invasion of Canada as a long-tail threat. If that is so, isn’t Meta akin to the pamphlet drops Nazis used in Austria before the invasion? PS We don’t pay for Meta ads. Why pay a platform that controls the algorithms & blocks news from being posted?

How much more evidence do the politicians and financiers need to know that fossil fuels are fuelling the fires? 85% of greenhouse gases comes from burning fossil fuels. We need policies that will stop the hellish madness NOW!

85% of GHGs come from fossil fuels—yet the industry has spent decades delaying action. Now, they’re pushing new fossil fuel projects, claiming carbon capture will save us. 😀Spoiler: It’s a fairytale.👺 🔗 Dive into the history of CCS in Canada thenarwhal.ca/canada-carbo...

We have no doubt that 🇨🇦 Canada is a #Petrostate. It’s obvious that big oil has a stranglehold on our government. We focus specifically on getting money away from fossil fuels one riding at a time. If that interests you, you can learn more on Wednesday night. citizensclimate.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

US politicians blaming Canada for the wildfire smoke is deplorable. The USA is the #1 producer of oil and gas on this planet. Fossil fuels companies have lied to us for decades about the energy transition. Their product and lies are the cause global heating. It is harrowing to know what is coming.

The story is about the provinces first direct customer energy program services an important reminder of a key tool we have to fight Climate change: saying yes, conversations about renewable energy are often met with fear because the familiar. Meanwhile, fossil fuels continue to have negative impact that we’ve known about. The technology to Transition, our energy already exist The rest is up to us.

Not only is our country about to possibly fund a tarsands pipeline with taxpayer money, it will potentially severely weaken the industrial carbon price with a very questionable national carbon credit program. Please follow: @simondonner.bsky.social Read more here www.linkedin.com/posts/simon-...

The USA section was quite extensive in the report for obvious reasons. For everyone's benefit here some snippets from the report and the report itself image.b.economist.com/lib/fe8d1372...
What we are watching in 2026
Although the US’s score in 2025 only edged lower,
the modest extent of the decline is due in part to the
democratic guardrails—America’s courts—holding
the line. The direction of the Trump administration
policies is to impose greater control from above and
to stifle dissent. If these tendencies are allowed to
proceed unchallenged, the US will sink further into
the “flawed democracy” category.Political process and participation remain
strong, but threats are emerging
North America continues to score most strongly in
electoral process and pluralism (9.58) and political
participation (8.89). Both scores are unchanged
since 2022 and remain higher than in any other
region. Voter engagement has stayed strong in
the latest national elections. In Canada’s April
2025 election, voter turnout—at 69%—was the
highest since the 1993 election. Turnout at the
US presidential election in November 2024 was
64%, the second-highest level in over a century;
it was surpassed only by turnout in the 2020
presidential election (66%). US electoral institutions
continue to exhibit considerable resilience. The
2024 presidential election concluded without
controversy, and Congress certified the results with
no disruptions. The subsequent smooth transition
between administrations of different parties is a
positive sign.
However, threats tNorth Americans remain especially polarised
Political culture remains the lowest-scoring category
for North America. North America’s performance
continues to be weighed down by intense political
and cultural polarisation in the US. Social cohesion
and consensus have collapsed in recent years as
disagreements over an expanding list of issues
have fuelled the country’s “culture wars”. Alongside
the covid-19 pandemic, election outcomes and
racial equity issues, additional fault lines have
emerged and deepened, including over LGBT+
rights, climate policy, reproductive health and the
Israel-Hamas war. These debates have continued
to extend beyond the usual set of actors (such
as politicians and activists) and now encompass
corporate executives, librarians, school teachers
and universities.
A highly politicised media, including popular TV
channels and print publications, continue to foment
and amplify divisions across the US electorate.
Non-traditional media, such as independent
podcasts, have played an increasingly large role.
Self-reinforcing social media algorithms have
contributed to a hardening of opinions, including
radical and misinformed ones.
