From a local reporting perspective, there is enough land to build more homes. Going to lush green pastures when we have scarce farmland in a time of #climatechange is pure madness. Also, we need further #innovation when it comes to transportation.

Hilary was the first tropical storm to hit Southern California in 84 years. Maui saw the deadliest US wildfire in a century. Canada wildfires just forced the entire city of Yellowknife to evacuate. This deadly Midwest heat wave could set hundreds of records. We are in crisis.

🇦🇺Craig Tindale Dr. Steve Keen Canada production dropped by over 26% for all grains in 2021 compared to 2020. The production recovered in 2022. But 2023 may be another matter. The heat stress in 2023 is much higher than it was in 2021 (when Canada had record heat) because of the formation of El Nino.

I can confirm I’m one of the Metroland journalists laid off today. I worked with some incredible reporters and editors in my five years with the company. Community journalism is turning into a lost art form. This is a devastating day for Canadian media. #cdnmedia

😢Sharing some sad news: Our local news company filed for bankruptcy protection. 605 layoffs, nearly 2/3 of our workforce. 68 journalists passionate about this calling - including me. I found out TODAY that today is my last day after nearly 40 years with Torstar. I'm heartbroken

My country Iraq has been destroyed as a result of the same colonial racist propaganda. I am shocked to hear all of those who usually have a sophisticated intersectional lens suddenly turn into All Lives Matter while a genocide is unfolding in front of our eyes. #FreePalestine
