For anyone who doesn't know, Postmedia is controlled by Chatham Asset Management, LLC, which owns about a 66.7% stake in the company. Chatham is an American private equity firm with ties to the Republican party. It matters.

Begging some very “left podcasts” to at least drop the Shopify ads. No ethical podcast ads under capitalism or whatever but that guy specifically sucks in a real disgusting manner.

Mark Carney has decided humanity's future is not as important as the oil industry's current profits. It's as simple as that. He's not a complete fool, he knows what's coming if we don't decarbonize as quickly as possible, and he's rejected that path in favour of a decade of high oil revenues.

where is the public tipping point? what will it take for a majority of canadians to recognize that far from being our defender and saviour, carney and his agenda are a menace to our country’s—and the planet’s—survival?

Doug Ford stands in front of a sign that says Doug Ford Is Corrupt in both French and English. It also says Now and Always.

As a general rule that applies not only to charitable giving but to many areas is that reducing transaction costs is by default good. A flaw of libertarianism is the assumption that government adds transaction costs when it's actually a powerful reducer of them when used correctly.

The 3rd day of russia's non-stop attacks on Kyiv and the region already claimed the lives of a 2yo girl in the Obolon district and a 14yo girl in Boryspil. 37 people were murdered last night. It's despicable how this russian massacre is allowed to escalate with full impunity.

Hummingbirds.
A four panel comic. In panel 1, a rufous hummingbird flies down toward a large hummingbird feeder with as many as 6 holes on top. He thinks "The humans put up a new feeder!" In panel 2, he lands on the feeder and gazes down at it. He thinks "It's huge. Many of us could feed here at once." In panel 3, we see a close up view of the hummingbird, and he's thinking "This could end the ancient rivalries. Usher in an era of peace. Interesting." In panel 4, an Anna's hummingbird hovers over the feeder and says "Hey, can I have some necta-" and the rufous hummingbird says "No."

Carney tells us we can’t afford to reduce emissions and uses our money against us & the planet to fund pipelines & carbon capture Why does he back the very industries destroying the planet? Green alternatives exist! What kind of “economist” is he? Maybe time to listen to climate experts, not CEOs!
