What Canada Post could be, and what would be best for local resilience, economies, and the environment right now. None of this is a utopian vision - it would be the pragmatic thing to do right now in response to the threats we face. And also one of my favorite interviews I've ever hosted. #CDNpoli

NEW: I've been shocked by some of the numbers I've been seeing on behind-the-meter power plants for data centers, so I did a little math. less than a dozen gas plants being built to power data centers for big tech companies could emit a maximum of nearly 130 million tons of CO2e each year (!)

New Gas-Powered Data Centers Could Emit More Greenhouse Gases Than Entire Nations
A WIRED review of permits for data center projects using natural gas and linked to OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, and xAI shows they could emit more than 129 million tons of greenhouse gases per year.

It seems that the worse Alberta behaves, the more Mark Carney bends over backwards to appease them with special treatment. His loyalty to fossil fuels seems to trump any loyalty he feels to national unity, to the climate, and to Canada's constitution including our charter of rights and freedoms. 🧵1/
Along the top, four images of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, with text on each, reading in order: "repeated notwithstanding clause attacks on citizens' charter rights; Attacks clean energy sector, killing 99% of renewable investment; Empowers separatists, cozies up to foreign enemies; and Partisan gerrymandering of Alberta's electoral ridings map." Below that, we see four images of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, also with text for each: "Makes fossil fuel expansion priority #1, climate science be damned; Exempts Alberta from energy regulations & adds billions in fossil subsidies; Excludes BC from talks with Alberta about a pipeline to the BC coast; and Doesn't push back on Alberta for violating the Canada Health Act."

“Cutting methane is the single most important strategy to slow near-term warming. In fact, it’s the only strategy that has a chance of working. Cutting carbon dioxide is a marathon, but methane is a sprint.” - Durwood Zaelke, president of the Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development. 🧵1/

Secondly, an image of natural gas burning on a stovetop, with the text "Methane causes 80 times as much warming in 20 years as CO2 does over a thousand years." Thirdly, an image of the Earth on fire, with the text "Cutting methane is the best way to limit short term climate warming." Then an image of Canadian PM Mark Carney, with the text "Carney's budget created new subsidies for expanding methane heavy LNG." Followed by Carney again, with the text "His biggest proposed major projects are both LNG expansion."
