Just when we need the best science to navigate humanity through an unprecedented crisis, the centre-right (corporate right) underfunds and cuts it (like they always do when in power), and the far-right (fascistic right) attacks and dismantles it. The economic rationalists/neo-liberalists (like Carney) will invoke a tired old fantasy about how markets can solve the problem (carbon pricing and capture), though they do nothing meaningful, even in their own terms. The economic and political nihilists (MAGA) in their fanatical zeal simply deny it, and are prepared to run society off the cliff to hang onto power. And a propagandized, economically insecure and frightened population goes along with it. Complete madness.
He’s running this country like a business, not with Canadians in mind, but rather his corporate overlords. Money Money Money, that’s all these jokers care about, meanwhile our country starts to crumble. Can we please start putting humanity and our planet ahead of the 1%?
Well, here's one thing I think about all this. I find it very weasel wordy that politicians call it methane when they're framing it as pollution and bragging about reducing it and call it natural gas when they are talking about extracting and burning more of it. METHANE AND "NATURAL" GAS ARE THE SAME FUCKING THING! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Thanks for this info Rachel. The cuts to the 24/7 WeatherRadio is very concerning - especially for the Arctic Territories. Satellite coverage is not always reliable and satellites have 'wobbled' in the past killing communications, bank transactions, grocery store transactions as most businesses rely on digital - as the CRTC is aware of. Unless the bigger picture plan is launching communication satellites from Canada, for CDN use? This would also make sense as the current satellites in use are more centred in larger, populated geographies and from the northern perspective are too low to the horizon which limits coverage.

This is what Alberta did before Jasper. I was camping in Jasper during the fire, that was handled so poorly. As usual no lesson learned.
