Remember (It was this week!) when PM Mark Carney said one of USA demands was that we cease and desist making trade deals with other countries? Nutlick said Canada's claims that Greer said we wouldn't be allowed to negotiate trade deals with other countries was PREPOSTEROUS Sure. Written in pencil?

‘Studies in Happiness’: What degrowth in Japan can teach us about wellbeing beyond growth
While in Europe degrowth is often framed as a deliberate choice, Japan’s version is distinctive - and instructive. Japan offers a rare set of living experiments in how communities can actually function, and even thrive, without growth as the organizing goal.

Private companies know there’s no business case for more pipelines when renewables have never been cheaper, cleaner, and faster to deploy. So the government is about to invest OUR money instead. Most Canadians agree: NO taxpayer-funded pipelines >> act.gp/4yzyXjC

"Private-public" partnership. The public will pay the full load. The oil giants get all the profit. We paid $34 billion for TMX pipeline. The companies balked at having to pay their share through the toll rates so the public has been subsidizing 50 cents on the barrel. #astheplanetburns
