The heatwaves experienced around the globe have major consequences for energy systems – driving up electricity demand & emissions Major improvements in the energy efficiency of cooling equipment like air conditioners are urgently needed More from International Energy Agency ➡️ iea.li/44VyCZu

Am I missing something here? Alberta leads Canada in renewables growth. The idea of pausing renewables development to "cover cleanup" while the province is littered in orphaned oil and gas wells absolutely boggles the mind. theglobeandmail.com/business/indus…

Routes en mauvais ou en très mauvais état à Montréal : 👉 2015 : 54 % 👉 2020 : 24 % 📉 Le nombre de nids-de-poule et de plaintes à ce sujet est en diminution partout à Montréal. Avec un climat rigoureux et des véhicules plus nombreux et plus lourds, maintenir le bon état

Yup. Apathy. Losing players like Richie lessens your bond with the club as a supporter; overselling superstars who flame out breeds cynicism. We are a long way from 2017. Or even 2015’s “an air of expectation”

Plus, wear Red. Their nickname is “The Reds”. Sheesh.

Andrew Turner David Miller T.O. Apple deal has not been helpful, AND there's a ton more soccer to watch on our devices/TVs than there was when Toronto FC began in 2007, & those first several lean years. Not having afternoon games has very much hurt, but I don't think (in this case) TFC management has options.

.Mayor Jacob Frey announced plans to invest an additional $8️⃣M to support the City of Minneapolis Climate Equity Plan — a historic investment to accelerate the city's climate efforts🌱 The plan seeks to reduce pollution by 2030 & become carbon neutral by 2050 💪 kstp.com/kstp-news/loca…

This is a legit leader. A year ago he grilled the grocery CEOs re: their profits. This week, walks the walk & visits the picket line. We need more politicians to be practical & judge issues case-by-case, & not be crafted ideologues from central casting.

Stiles to Ford: Don’t roll back anti-racism work in schools From @maritstiles #onpoli ontariondp.ca/news/stiles-fo…

I am very uncomfortable with the owner of this site repeatedly using his feed to promote the “white genocide” racial conspiracy theory — the same theory that was central to the Christchurch mass murderer’s manifesto — and to demonize outlets that point out fictions behind it

Anecdotal evidence only: I’ve been watching far more Leagues Cup as a neutral than I do of MLS regular season. That may say more about me than it does of the competition. Either way, I don’t think it’s the abject failure that many people were hoping.

“It’s time the Conservative government realize people should not be working full-time jobs and having to go to a food bank. Nobody should be worrying whether or not they can keep the roof over their heads.” ~ Marit Stiles, Leader of the Ontario NDP barrietoday.com/local-news/ont…

Lake Simcoe and the Red Moon #CottageLife

This is what the NAIRU looks like: hundreds of people, desperate for work despite a labour market the Bank of Canada claims is 'overheated', lining up for a shitty job at McDonalds. blogto.com/city/2023/08/h… Employers WANT more of this desperation: /2 #canlab #cdnecon

Absolutely this: ⬇️

Alberta energy workers and innovators were set to take a leading role in the huge opportunities in clean energy. Danielle Smith has shut the door on billions of dollars in investment and screwed over workers. This is radical stupidity on an unprecedented scale.

Great article by Jason Kirby⁩ for ⁦The Globe and Mail⁩ on rejections of tentative deals by union members. My view, this is not a bad thing: “Workers expectations have been lifted, & that increases the bargaining power of the union itself.” #canlab theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
