@darlyn1 @TomCochraneMUS At the moment it's a tie between Can't Stay Here, Diamonds, and Northern Star.

Nothing like those three to get you through tough times.

@a_regal_seagull St John's doesn't even wait for an intersection to change names in some places

@hansnf All of this is the Newfoundland equivalent of Bigfoot. Right down to the blurry dash camera footage of someone using a turn signal.

@CanaquaL It'll be a tense couple of weeks, but try not to let the worst case scenarios run wild in your head. My grandfather is a 92 year old asthmatic and he made a full recovery faster than most people I know who've gotten it.

@drlorileeoates I'm sure sea level rise will take their opinion into account and formally exempt their homes from seasonal flooding

@KeithDunneNL Five and a half hours is also generous to that line. In my experience it's usually closer to seven hours.

@JohnRiche Respectfully, it's easy to pontificate about pacifism when you're not in the line of fire. There's a world of difference between amplification and defending a marginalized community. Silence only ever benefits an aggressor.

@jimjamjuggles @PaulLaneMHA @drlorileeoates @kotable Can confirm. The vice grip O&G has on every aspect of NL is the primary reason I plan to leave the province in the next couple of years. It's a nice place, but it's a total oilocracy and that's just not sustainable in so many ways

We are about to see a wave of young right-wing leaders with an explicit pro-fossil fuel, let the world burn agenda framed around notions of freedom. Liz Truss in the UK and Pierre Poilievre, the new Conservative Party leader in Canada, are prototypes for what we can expect. 🧵

@emnawfs An American in Boston once earnestly asked me if seeing L'anse Aux Meadows from St John's would fill out a day or if they should plan something for the afternoon

I interviewed Emily Dyer twice on the campaign trail. She was easily one of the most professional candidates I've spoken with in three election cycles.

I agree with Mr. Hillier that this warrants a serious investigation. The student body deserve transparency from their reps.

@GregSmithNL The Mongolian beef and fried rice is incredible! Plus it's enough food for two days.

@BarryStepMUN @PeterCBC @AirCanada @Jlreid02 This sounds like the sort of thing you might be interested in covering.

Thank you, @MattMays. We sang your music. Mantle Music was our Thursdays.

Hypocrisy: Noun.

Origin: The Greek word "hupokrisis." Meaning "to act a theatrical part."

Definition: Behavior that contradicts what one claims to believe or feel.

Example: Approving an oil project while claiming to be wholly invested in the fight against climate change.

[Steven Guilbeault @s_guilbeault]

Conserving nature is a vital part of our fight against #climatechange.

As part of our plan to protect 25% of our lands and waters by 2025, today, alongside Newfoundland and Labrador we committed to accelerate the creation of new protected areas in the province.

"I'm on your side mate, there's no future in oil."

- an oil worker at the fuel depot we were blocking.

Oil and gas workers aren't daft. Many realise the writing is on the wall and WANT jobs in renewables.

We ALL want a livable future.

@JustStop_Oil @GeorgeMonbiot

[Kyle Johnson 🌹 @kylej1130]

Celebrating this is climate change denialism. Also, you're celebrating the province dooming its working class economically for the next few decades. Ghouls for the almighty dollar! #nlpoli

[Charlie Cottreau @EchoCharlieGulf]

@AmyNormanNL If they keep approving oil projects we may as well consider 24 hours later to be the future as it's all we'll get.
