Data centers don’t just magically appear. Texas didn’t become the data center capital by accident. They go where politicians offer billion-dollar tax breaks, cheap power, weak regulations, and a giant welcome mat. If we’re serious about fighting these projects, follow the incentives.

Avi Lewis: "We have shoved Canada Post so far into the market mindset that every few months we have a national conversation about why isn't Canada Post making money. Does the ambulance service make money? Do the police services make money? We're talking about a fundamental public service."

Ok… thing bugging me… the Sask NDPers around me who call Lewis' climate politics "ideological", who must, by extension, think that MY climate politics (which are very close to Lewis') are also "ideological". /1

Climate has almost disappeared from our conversation. But it remains the most pressing challenge of our times. Last week the WMO said the planet is “more out of balance than at any time in observed history.” Energy security and climate security are not competing priorities.

Hey, so if Avi Lewis is already generating obvious concern among media pundits, old guard former NDP leaders, and provincial NDP who embrace Lib/Con lite policies, he's probably onto something very important.

You can safely ignore all pundits and pollsters who are already saying that Avi Lewis needs to run to the centre and be pro-oil, anti-immigration, etc. -- basically, Liberal/Conservative Lite -- or else he can't win. No, he needs to live up to being a real progressive and you'll see what happens.

In shock at the grocery store? In tears looking at your bills? “It’s because the wealth of this country is being hoovered up by a corporate elite who are extracting it from you every single day,” Avi Lewis says. “It’s immoral. It’s unreasonable. It’s un-Canadian. And we cannot let it stand.”

An investment boom measured in the hundreds of billions has, by Goldman’s accounting, generated essentially no measurable economic return for the US. The question facing us now in 2026 is whether $660 billion more of the same will produce anything other than an even bigger AI bubble. #skpoli #NoAI
