1/ Outrageous and unacceptable. The Namaygoosisagagun First Nation wasn’t warned of the blaze that burned their community to the ground and were not given supports to evacuate.

The federal government must recognize Namaygoosisagagun’s status, reimburse them for the services they should have provided and give them the resources they need to recover from this disaster.

Canada's Climate Wildfire Catastrophe
Is exploding.

New July 16 6pm

10 days ago a reporter said he was aware 1.1 million hectares were burning in Canada. A week later it was 1.9 million, yesterday it passed 2.3 million Hectares burning, THIS MORNING I posted it was 2.5 million, it is now 2.7 million hectares burning.

This is a WARNING. The FIRE is a SHOUTED WARNING.

Like the 20,000 Exxon Heat killed in Europe this week - a WARNING

AFN National Chief: No mega centres. no separation from Canada with First Nation Consent

Incredibly brazen for the Prime Minister to boast about the “lasting benefits” of expanding fossil fuel production on a day like today.

Record-breaking heatwaves. Toxic smoke engulfing cities and towns. Out of control wildfires forcing entire communities to evacuate.

This government is spending billions of dollars in public money to expand the very industry that’s causing climate breakdown — at a moment when renewables are cheaper and more available than ever before.

No more climate-wrecking corporate welfare. We need a government that protects the people and places we love.

Sometimes you read something that tells you what you already know…but you feel as if for the first time.

I read this searing piece through hot tears of rage and renewed determination.

Canada should be using every tool we have - legal, diplomatic, economic - to rein in and isolate this rogue state.

It should be a national scandal that we aren’t.

In case this has eluded you, Meta's natural gas powered $13 billion AI data centre in Sturgeon Country north of Edmonton uses up nearly as much power each day as the entire city of Calgary (1.1B GW) or Edmonton (1.2B GW).

Plus, it uses up more water a day than all of Sturgeon County.

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.

Minister Miller says, "It isn't up to me to speak to, or insert myself in, the curation of any particular exhibit.” And then he does exactly that.

His comments are a direct attack on the independence of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights – exactly what the Museums Act is meant to prevent.

The story of the Nakba needs to be told. It’s a hard history to confront: Israel’s independence was achieved with massacres, ethnic cleansing, and the forcible displacement of over 750,000 Palestinians.

And it’s a story that’s not over: all of those assaults on human dignity and fundamental human rights continue to this day.

There is only one path out. Replacing all carbon burning systems by building cheap solar, distributing roof solar, putting solar over canals.

Here’s just one of the unprecedented measures the Liberals pushed through at the end of this session:

Cabinet ministers will now be allowed to authorize the use of banned pesticides in the name of “national economic security.”

Even if they’ve been deemed unsafe for human health.

Debate was shut down, and scientists, public health and environmental experts were not allowed to testify before the bill was passed.

Top 3 reasons:

1) Treating the land between big cities (and the people who live there) as disposable

2) The less time it takes to travel between two places, the more those places come to resemble each other. Montreal, do you really want to be more like Toronto?

3) Nation building itself is absolutely not something we should support.

Angus Reid data shows 68% of Canadians want heavy regulation of AI, even if it slows development, and would oppose a large data centre planned near their home.

The government is way offside with Canadians on this. Telling them to become “literate” isn’t going to work.

A sober take from @ShachiKurl of Angus Reid Institute of how Canadians are not on side with Mark Carney’s enthusiastic approach to AI or data centres.

They aren’t uninformed or illiterate; they simply experience the sides of AI the government prefers not to focus on.

Yes I think so.

Remove ultra richism. End billionairism. Like "protect against aneurysms" - financial as well as medical.

Tax fairly.

Robustly.

The longest economic boom in history was created by FDR and continued by Truman and Eisenhower. Defeated the Nazis, built the interstate, colleges, homes for soldiers and retired the WWII debt.

Economists called the robust tax period "The Golden Age of Capitalism" -- not even ironically.

It’s time to build affordable homes, a national network of public grocery stores, electric buses and an east-west clean energy grid. Not massive corporate AI data centres unleashed without any democratic debate.

There's also no real data sovereignty in an AI ecosystem dominated by U.S. tech giants. Telus may be Canadian-owned, but it has already transferred 14 petabytes of Canadian data onto Google Cloud as part of its AI strategy.

This is a technology that will bring sweeping changes at a scale and speed never seen before. Canadians deserve real oversight and a robust regulatory framework before we rush ahead.


That’s why we’re calling for an immediate pause on the construction of any new AI data centres until strong federal guardrails are in place.

Striking that the Liberals and Conservatives offer the same response to pain at the pump: siphon money out of the public purse instead of Big Oil’s profits.

Oil companies are on track to make tens of billions in windfall profits from Trump’s illegal war in Iran.

It’s their profiteering that’s driving up prices. It’s them who should pay.

It’s time for price caps on gas to stop oil companies from price-gouging Canadians — and a windfall profits tax on war-time oil revenues, so the government can invest that money in the public interest.
