Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

Think I’m going to take a principled stand against Wab Kinew’s imposition of permanent CDT in Manitoba by being an hour late for everything. #TeamCST

Let’s just ignore that new $3 billion gas peaker plant Manitoba Hydro plans to build in Brandon and pretend the province is on a “Path to Net Zero.” Wab Kinew is a hypocrite. #cdnpoli #mbpoli

Facebook post by Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew which reads:

Manitoba's first ever geothermal neighbourhood is the first step on our new Path to Net Zero.

We're investing $4 million to build Manitoba's first large-scale district geothermal project at Southwood Circle. It brings low-carbon heating and cooling to at least 1,000 new homes near the University of Manitoba. This will make environmentally friendly home heating more affordable for home owners!
Good for the climate.
Good for your wallet.
Good for Manitoba.

It’s a lovely summer evening to watch an eclipse. At maximum, as seen from my front yard.

“Gas plants aren’t competitive anymore,” said Keith Brooks, program director at Environmental Defence. “If there’s a level playing field, clean energy and batteries win every time.” www.thestar.com/news/ontario...

Why Ontario’s big move to battery storage has observers saying ‘gas plants aren’t competitive anymore’

Climate-friendly technologies are advancing so quickly contract prices in Ontario have dropped from over $1,100 per megawatt in 2023 to $563 now.

Fun fact: liquor listings are decided by provincial and territorial liquor boards and commissions. PM Carney can offer up ending US booze bans all he wants but he needs the premiers onside to actually do it.

$3-billion for a gas turbine plant, $18-billion for a previously shelved hydro generating station, GHG emissions and impacts on the watershed be damned. Manitoba could roll out an awful lot of grid scale solar, wind + battery storage for that kind of money, and incrementally at that. Wab is con.

Most of the footage you see from ICE observers in Minnesota comes from the core cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. I talked to observers in the northern suburbs, who say they're taking on the same mission in very different conditions. (1) share.google/ei9giIFLsuEJ...

After a frightening pursuit by federal agents, suburban ICE observers say fear hasn’t stopped them from protecting their communities.

If you read only one thing today, read this letter written from prison, where she has been languishing for several months, by the awesome Georgian journalist Mzia Amaghobeli. She dared to speak the truth to the Moscow's puppets. EU leaders don't have her courage. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

Progressive conservative would be more accurate. Politics abhors a vacuum. “At the partisan level, Carney has created a degree of unrest in his own caucus and portions of his base… There has been such an obvious shift to the political right that Carney is routinely described as a “conservative.””
