Again for context: a majority of Canadians (& Albertans) want strong climate policy and renewables, even if they have just felt the need to self silence due to spin. "In fact 70% of the public [& a majority of Albertans] would feel pride if Canada were to become a renewable energy superpower, vs...

(2/2) only 30 percent feeling that way about becoming an oil/gas superpower."

Different June 2025 poll: '67% of Canadians favour developing clean energy over fossil fuels while 85% wish to maintain or increase federal climate action

72% in AB supported maintaining if not increasing climate action.

I'm hearing from so many students who are struggling to make ends meet right now. Many are working multiple jobs to survive, or they are accessing courses from their places of work. As a low-income, first-gen university student myself, I deeply sympathize with their struggles. I lived them.

Trump sends a doctor to Greenland with Jeff Landry to “help with healthcare problems.” My country, Denmark, is returning the favor. 👏👏👏 We are officially sending our top psychiatrists to D.C. to treat the administration's urgent mental health issues.

As Louisiana Gov Jeff Landry (R-LA) arrives in Nuuk in his new position as Trump's Reichsstatthalter in Greenland, Louisiana is ranked # 50 among the 50 states in economic performance, but # 1 among the 50 states in illiteracy. It's vastly outperformed by Greenland in every respect.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.
