Prime Minister Mark #Carney has said a fresh wave of US tariffs on Canada is a "miscalculation" designed to "hurt and divide us", after trade talks collapsed late on Friday.
"They asked too much and they offered too little," Carney told Canadians on Saturday morning, adding the country was now in a trade "war" after being hit with punishing new US dut…
The summer is heating up! #Edmonton and #Montreal are flooded by historic rains, Lytton BC is under threat again by wildfire, and Vancouver Island is in a historic drought.
Does Environment Canada have the ability to warn us and track the changes in our climate? The government is cutting ECCC services and capabilities at a time that we need it more than ever.
Here's our petition to tell them to restore Environment Canada!
#e7465! We're hoping for many more before the summer ends so Government can't ignore this issue.
Here’s what we, citizens and residents of Canada, are asking from the #Carney Government:
1. Reverse cuts to Environment and Climate Change Canada that impact weather forecasting, meteorological research and climate science;
2. Restore and maintain Weatheradio and other accessible public alert systems;
3. Protect and expand weather observation and climate monitoring stations across Canada;
4. Ensure adequate staffing and long-term funding for ECCC programs, scientists, meteorologists and technical experts; and
5. Recognize weather forecasting and climate monitoring as essential public safety infrastructure.
The petition ends August 26th in time for the new session in the fall. We have the summer to get it done!

Surprised at Keystone XL being raised from the dead by Carney and Trump?
Don't be... they've been talking about it for months, we just forgot.

Wab Kinew to the CBC today.
“Prime Minister Carney didn’t exactly beg the provinces to lift the booze ban… but what is one level before that?”

This is for readers on Bluesky. The weather is not ok, and Environment Canada is being cut.
Please sign and share my House of Commons petition to restore Environment Canada funding.

This is so incredibly good it deserves to be reproduced in full: 😆 🔥 😆
“Carney pointed to a map of North America, half of which had been accurately but artistically burned away.
“It is our intention for the pipeline to cross over Saskatchewan and British Columbia, but if they prove too charred already then I plan to divert the pipeline and profits through the Northern states, as part of my next round of capitulations to Trump in CUSMA negotiations.”
Danielle Smith, smiling so wide that many in the audience naturally assumed she was thinking about forcing trans children to dig the pipeline infrastructure themselves, stated that she fully supported the project being moved up before her province was so full of smoke it couldn’t exist anymore.
“This is a great day for Albertans, and none of the rest of you traitorous fucks,” Smith stated, flipping off any reporter who looked like they were from east of her province. “The sooner this gets done, the sooner I can start looking for new ways to hurt endangered wildlife and complain about how no one ever gives Alberta anything.”

Of course the first Chinese EV coming in to Canada is some high end expensive monster.
Maybe Carney can afford one.
Call me when the $CAD15,000 car shows up.

Judith Curry is possibly the most confusing and infuriating scientist in the entire climatological arena. She contributed to major understandings around the changes in the jet stream, the Arctic, and other processes that helped explain the impact climate change has already had on our day to day weather.
But then she left academia and essentially became a mouthpiece for Neo-denialism, claiming others were being “alarmist” and that while CO2 was the main cause, we really shouldn’t be spending money on reducing emissions.
Her final blog announcing its retirement is an interesting combination of declaring victory, mostly thanks to Trump and his acolytes (like Carney) who have pivoted fully into the arms of the fossil fuel industry, and declaring she was tired of it all and just wants to be in her garden and stop the flow of now $16,000 (!!) to maintain her Wordpress blog for the past 15 years.
She has done real damage to efforts to stop CO2 emissions. But another part of me wonders if this is an admission of guilt. Very often people come to a point, even subconsciously, where they realize they’re in with the wrong crowd.
I wonder if she has had that moment with Trump. She probably thinks it’s all irrelevant and out of her hands now. Other players, namely the oil industry, Trump, Putin, etc. will decide what happens and scientists like her will have no impact.
I am glad she is tapping out, as so many deniers inevitably do, but it is clear she is doing it because she thinks she’s won, and that is very very bad for the world.

The current state of the Canadian Economy as directed by the Liberal-Conservative Majority Government of Mark Carney, in a picture.
Transition Now. End Fossil Fuels. Renewables Now.

I respect Kelly Hrudey a lot. He has always been very open about his own mental health struggles and used his platform to advocate for people to take mental health seriously, with compassion and care.
No surprise Rogers would not renew his contract.
Hockey is essentially dead in Canada now as a national pastime. It is for the wealthy. Hockey will still be important, but it’s really just one of many sports now that we have to choose to pay to watch. It costs a fortune to play.
The day the CBC gave up being the prime sports broadcaster in Canada, with Hockey Night in Canada broadcast every Saturday for decades, was the day we lost a unifying force in this country. Remember when Carney said he’d help the CBC out? Haha. Whatever.
Wishing Kelly all the best. Thank you sir. ❤️ 🥅

Oh look! The Carney Government and Trump Administration have at least some things in common: Criticism and tone policing of actual history that their government doesn’t appreciate.
“President Donald Trump on Friday ordered the installation of signs outside the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History that warn people that the museum does not accurately reflect American history while pointing them to material that does — a dramatic escalation in his campaign to wrest control of how the nation’s story is told.”
