If I take her at face value sure, yes, there are going to be people and are people who are angry that we are not developing every single drop of oil and gas possible.
But that does not negate the fact, the physics, of the problem we are in.
We must stop developing oil and gas energy.
We must stop emitting CO2.
We must end the use of fossil fuels.
That means at the end of the day all Danielle Smith's tears accomplish, in both the short and long term, are tears for all the rest of us as our homes burn, our crops dry out, and our societies become unable to function.
We must transition to clean energy immediately to avoid a disastrous future.
Smith's tears, genuine or not, are not helping anyone.

But it is the most recent ones that are the most culpable...
because every day, every year, that passes, the losses
mount, the path gets harder, the damage grows. "Evidence" at this point is irrelevant because every damn person knows it in their soul regardless what words come out of their mouth.
Every politician that continues this is complicit and should have done more. That includes every level of government including my brief moment.

Statement from @… leader of the #NDP on trade talks.
"The Prime Minister was right to walk away from the negotiating table last night. I believe Canadians are united in this crucial moment, on this crucial point: no deal is better than a bad deal.
Accepting a deal that would lock in pointless, destructive tariffs and undermine our ability to regulate big tech would have been disastrous for our workers, industries and sovereignty. PM Carney read the room by rejecting the Americans’ offer.
Wab Kinew got it exactly right — the President is weak and cannot be trusted to abide by an agreement. We should stand firm, knowing it’s what the vast majority of Canadians want our government to do.
But what happens next matters. We are not out of this yet.
You can count on New Democrats to be a voice for swift and substantial aid to affected workers and industries. This is also a moment to rapidly transition to an economy that is more independent, that prioritizes housing, health, climate and the cost of living.
What brings us together and makes us strong is how we take care of each other in hard times. That’s the Canada the NDP will fight for in this crisis moment and those to come."

Which of course includes Question 10 on whether to pursue a second referendum on separation from Canada, which will be counted first.
Each voter will be handed 10 colour coded ballots that will then each go into one of 10 colour coded boxes to make counting, and presumably securing the votes, easier.
Question 10 will be counted first and they expect those results to be available after 1AM on October 21.

my grandfather was imprisoned by Franco’s regime because he was on the Republican side and was accused of being Communist though there was never any evidence he was a member of the Communist party. He was just a democrat, who saw Franco for the dictator that he was.
So ya… when people start to make excuses for Mark Carney allowing Canadian participation in a conference whose sole purpose is to drum up fake fear over “leftist extremism”, I take it a little personally.
Fuck Carney’s appeasement.
Attached is a photo of the bombing of Valencia’s northern train station by Italian forces in 1937, near the current stadium of Valencia CF. My grandfather lived in a village on the outskirts of Valencia and participated in resistance within the city. He and his family, including my dad, lived in Valencia throughout WWII. My grandmother eventually took the kids to France in the 50s, and my grandfather joined them after being released (?) from prison. They came to Canada in ‘52 and didn’t return to visit family and friends left behind until after Franco’s death.
This is where appeasement of fascism leads.

Remember that time… like 10 minutes ago… when we all had to vote Liberal because “otherwise we get the Conservatives.”
Well… after a day of selling off our airports and slashing corporate taxes on new investment to levels never seen in a modern economy (a $48 Billion gift with no budget line item yet), we end the day, and Carney’s Trillion Dollar Summit with a keynote from….
Stephen ___ing Harper.
“I am very encouraged by the detailed comments the prime minister made today on doing just some of these things, and I welcome them”
Pierre must me so deeply confused today. Poor dear… 😂 🤮
There is only one alternative to the Liberal-Conservative duopoly in Canada, and that’s the NDP.

This is the first time I have heard this “weakness” when it comes to fossil fuel refineries:
“Layer on extreme temperatures disrupting the cool conditions refineries need for proper distillation, and you’ve got yourself a big problem.”
They’re literally creating conditions that is making it harder to produce their own product.
That’s how stupid we are….

really? Trump has never in his political history said anything bad about Russia. If this guy doesn't know that basic geopolitical fact then he shouldn't be giving his opinions to anyone, much less a national broadcast audience.
If Trump is calling Canadian leaders "nasty" then our side is doing something right.

Here is the transcript of the meat of Carney’s proposal for a deeper Canada and EU partnership in text. Full text of the speech at the second link. The 2 minute video clip got a chuckle (“better manners”).
“So let me say plainly what Canada proposes.
Canada and Europe should secure our strategic autonomy through deep cooperation in the full range of strategic capabilities, including critical minerals, defence industrial capacity, AI and compute, energy security, space, and payments.
We should move toward seamless, digital trade in non-agricultural goods and a wide range of services.
We should deepen our people-to-people ties, allowing our youth to live, work and study where they want on either side of the Atlantic.
Canadian membership of Erasmus can give your students, and ours, more opportunity to learn at some of the world’s top universities, to broaden their horizons, and to build lasting ties that will sustain our alliance for the future.
Canadian membership of the next generation of Horizon would allow us to pool resources, cooperate on frontier technologies, and leverage our world-class research institutes and universities.
Yesterday, President von der Leyen announced a “new European Corporation on Critical Raw Materials” to obtain and stockpile the material needed for electric cars, chips and batteries, clean technology, and defence. Canada has deposits of over 34 critical minerals, and we are among the top producers of the 10 most essential for the world’s energy transition. Our alliance can help fill Europe’s need for reliable supply, Canada’s need for advanced processing capabilities, and our common objective to build complete value chains.
Canada can contribute LNG and hydrogen at large scale to support Europe’s energy security including by developing and leveraging new port infrastructure in the High North and on our East Coast. We, in turn, can benefit from your leadership in many clean energy technologies.
We can pool new sovereign compute capacity and build more secure broadband connections between Europe and Asia via our common geography.
Canada and Europe can join forces to develop AI safety protocols, coordinate common standards, and strengthen transparency, all while developing applications so our governments and companies can serve our citizens better.
Canada and Europe should also consider exploring an integrated market for financial services to broaden choice and reduce costs for our citizens, improve access to capital for our companies while maintaining our world-leading financial resilience.”

The most depressing news of the week, and this decade so far, is the UN's report that leaves no doubt that we will fail to hold global warming below 1.5ºC. But there is also hope, read on.
The world agreed in 2015 on 1.5ºC, championed, I might add, by a certain Canadian Prime Minister. Now, the best we could hold it to would be 1.8ºC and that would be at breakneck speed.
That Prime Minister is now hanging out with his kids, his girlfriend, and is generally getting on just fine...while his party oversees what they intend to be the greatest expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure and emissions (LNG and TMX2) in Canadian history.
Meanwhile the rest of us are left breathing in the smoke and fleeing the fires.
As a young adult 25 years ago, I thought we had time. I was optimistic. I thought surely we'd make the correction once the every-day consequences started to hit.
Well here we are, fully in the *beginning* of those consequences, and our governments have never been more committed to being the last one to sell the last drop of oil, coal, or gas.
No one disputes anymore that we have and are changing the climate.
The deniers lost.
But the oil companies are still winning.
The only way to save ourselves at this time and to have any hope of 1.8ºC or 2ºC or whatever the lowest possible temperature is that we can achieve, is to take the fight to the oil companies directly.
Physically.
Economically.
Until they cannot operate, pollute or continue as going concerns.
We are all of us feeling the impacts of climate change and what oil companies have done. That means today we have many many more people ready to fight than we ever have before.
We have to fight because they are already killing us, and because the rest of us must survive.
We will fight because if we don't, both they, and we, will die on a planet rendered unliveable by our own stupidity and greed.
So we fight. In every way you can. You fight.

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. ❤️ 🥅

And just to underline the point of betrayal of democratic promises. Here is the seminal tweet from September 21, 2015 just before that year's Canadian Federal Election where the eventual winner, Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada, promises to abolish FPTP.
He did not.
(i love that X pulled up the current Liberal Party preview card, appropriately associating both the former and current Liberal party leaders with this betrayal. Democracy denied.)

“In addition to monitoring activists in the vicinity of Anthropic executives and keeping tabs on protests near physical Anthropic assets, the firm is also implementing a “pre-crime” approach, attempting to predict incidents before they happen.

This is how far behind and how much of a disadvantage Canadians are at right now domestically.
Walk into Canadian Tire and you can by a 500W "kit” of 4 125W solar panels from $1199. That works out to $2.40 per Watt.
Or, you can go on Alibaba as I just did... search for 400W solar, chat with a (AI Bot probably?) and be offered 36 620 watt "JinkoSolar" panels for $US 2500 plus $3000 shipping which works out to ‎$8,510.88 CAD or $0.38 per Watt.
Our governments and business communities are completely failing us. We are getting fleeced.
Granted I don't know if there would be import duties, but FGS the price difference is totally ridiculous.

VIA Rail remains a national embarrassment because of successive Liberal and Conservative policy. Now they’ll just be a national embarrassment with new rolling stock.
Oh and people can barely afford to take it across the country. It is mostly an embarrassing tourist fraud with spectacular views.

Mark Carney: I don’t care about Climate Change, I’m building another oil pipeline to Burnaby. Canada Strong!
Mother Nature: How strong exactly? Hold my beer.
(A wildfire has broken out on the north side of Burrard Inlet, about 7km northeast of the Burnaby oil terminal, the terminus of the Transmountain Pipeline. It is currently 1.5ha and out of control but updates often come slowly on the web. News reports are that a few homes have been “tactically evacuated” and more evacuations may come according to Metro Vancouver government.)

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.”

Seems pretty blatant that first the Liberal Minister of Culture and Heritage, and now the longtime Liberal supporting family is getting play in the media (which they used to own in part) demanding “context" to an exhibit about the Nakba.
Izzy Asper was the leader of the Manitoba Liberal Party along with being the patriarch of one of the most powerful media conglomerates in Canada, until it was swallowed up by other billionnaire family media company people.
The *only* impartial voice here with a proven track record for understanding and communicating history fairly is the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.
Period.

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.

“USA has used virtually all of its long range precision missiles”
Iran is attacking with its ballistics and some drones… but you also know that it, likely with considerable support from Russia, is probably also developing many more long range drones like Ukraine has.
And that is where it is all going to turn on its head.
Like @… said in his most recent video. The world of warfare has changed forever. Drones are equivalent to the change from horse calvary to tank.
Yet outside of Ukraine and Russia, other militaries have not yet changed their procurement, let alone their force structure, to be prepared to fight wars using drones.
That doesn’t mean there won’t be be a place for conventional Air Force, Tank regiments, and a Navy, but all will have to be done with some lens of drone warfare baked in.
The longer Trump’s idiotic foray with the Israeli Prime Minister lasts, the more likely it is that we see Iran deploy long range drones in massive numbers.
At that point perhaps NATO countries, and other militaries, will truly realize the change that needs to happen.
