"[Prime Minister Mark Carney] built his reputation by warning that climate inaction threatens economic stability and that finance must align with the reality of a warming world. Instead, he is overseeing decisions that deepen Canada’s dependence on an industry whose expansion

We've known this since my first involvement in the animal and environmental protection movement since the early 1960s. "The Global Environment Outlook (GEO) report, ...produced by 200 researchers for the UN Environment Programme, said the climate crisis, destruction of nature

Just like President Donald J. Trump, Prime Minister Mark Carney is installing loyal, politically incompetent friends in key posts. Ambassador Kirsten Hillman is just the latest to lose her job, despite being Canada's best ambassador to the US. As we've seen with Minister

Quite a species, Homo sapiens, considering the enormous effort it puts into killing its own kind for the most venal and trivial of reasons. Unlikely to survive as a species another hundred thousand years.

I asked FBI Operations Director Michael Glasheen a simple question: “Where in the United States does Antifa exist?” His reply: “We are building out the infrastructure right now.” It is clear that Antifa is not a formal, organized group with a defined structure or leadership.

Shocked! Shocked! FBI official doesn't know where ANTIFA--the #1 terrorist threat in the US, he says--is located or how many members it has. Gee! Starting to wonder if ANTIFA even exists. 😉

Well, I watched Rosemary Barton's interview with Pierre Poilievre. Nothing's changed. He remains an obligate, serial liar, and a morally deficient human being. And again, he demonstrated that he is woefully uniformed or willfully ignorant about how economies, including Canada's,

So, now Pierre Poilievre is calling some Liberals the "Leave It In the Ground Caucus", meaning MPs who do not want fossil fuels produced and burned. Here's the reality. If we stop burning fossil fuels, there's a good chance our civilization and economy--Canadian and

Prime Minister Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre are in denial about this cris de cœur from Avi Lewis. Lewis speaks facts about the climate heating crisis. Carney and Poilievre do not. They are in functional, politically self-serving, climate change denial. In the next

Sure hope I'm wrong, but if Prime Minister Mark Carney's climate heating crisis record is any indication, his 'methane pollution' policy will be "If you want to reduce methane emissions, that's OK with us." cbc.ca/news/politics/…

It seems American automobile companies are unable to compete in or adapt to the growing global market for electric vehicles. There is no future, it seems, for a North American automobile industry.

If the evidence confirms that the killers in the Bondi Beach attack on a group of Jews celebrating Hannukah where, indeed, acting under the influence of ISIS, it means that the battleground on Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Band is now global. There is

Really disappointing, even depressing, watching panels on Power & Politics and CTV Power Play. Clearly, the panelists and hosts have no understanding of the climate heating issue and how it's breaking down civilization as we understand it and depend on it, and they're mostly totally

Lifted this from Facebook. Interesting comparison, given the relentless complaints about Canada lagging behind our neighbour economically.

There are two grand myths infecting political discourse in Canada. The grand Conservative myth, peddled by Pierre Poilievre, is that federal government spending causes inflation in Canada. It doesn't. Indeed, it improves the economy. The grand Liberal myth, peddled by Prime

I'm starting to find ChatGPT and other AI services enormously helpful. For example, I needed to create a comprehensive email contact list of Canadian animal and environmental protection organizations. ChatGPT did it for me, and created a CVS file, in less than 15 minutes. It
