Pacific Link is designed to carry one million barrels per day, but other pipelines and expansions are scheduled to add an additional two million barrels, creating a structural overcapacity for oil.

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.

The oil industry is unwilling to pay for this pipeline because even they know the world is moving away from fossil fuels. This project leaves Canadians bearing all the risks of a bad investment without any of the rewards.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Sorry, I don't know star wars lol

When asked about our reporting of his campaign's use of a tool that rewards supporters for posting AI-generated comments, Bradford could have taken ownership. Instead, he attacked, @jameswsthomson.com writes.

Brad Bradford owes us an apology
Given the opportunity to take responsibility for a blunder, Bradford instead channeled his inner Rob Ford, the city’s late, headline-generating, controversial mayor — and attacked the messenger.

Jennifer Hale once told me Canadians need to champion ourselves more. I wholeheartedly agree. Over the past few months, I reached out to dozens of Canadian devs to learn their favourite Canadian games. Their varied responses offer a wonderful spotlight on some of the incredible talent we have here.🍁

Canadians from coast to coast -- and even on the prairies -- are united in their desire to fight back against the United States and defend their sovereignty. So why do some members of the business community seem so determined to surrender? #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/22/o...

Canadians are largely united behind their federal government's decision to stand up to Donald Trump. The business community seems decidedly less enthusiastic.

anyway, the American id understander himself, Hunter S. Thompson, the next week for goddamn ESPN of all places. the party's over, folks.
We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."

Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history -- which is no doubt true -- but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a war-time economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.

That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks. The time has come for loyal Americans to Sacrifice. ... Sacrifice. ... Sacrifice. That is the new buzz-word in Washington. But what it means is not entirely clear.
