Dear Future Generations,

We're sorry. Things are just too convenient and life would be difficult if we stopped using fossil fuel.

Sincerely,
The Status Quo

PS- Warm, eh?

Sensing time is of the essence, Boyd and Cletus hope their plan to purloin the Global Covenant Of Mayors Climate Badges can be pulled off before City Hall's Visitor Access Process takes effect on Tuesday.

Audrey believes the 3 badges only exist online...

Cette photo mérite absolument tous les prix. Elle a même sa place au Louvre.

Elle relate précisément l’inertie de l’individu face à l’effondrement.

Regardez la composition. Un chef-d’œuvre involontaire.

Au premier plan, le sable doré, les tongs abandonnées, la glacière. Le décor ordinaire du bonheur estival. Deux personnages assis, de dos, comme dans un tableau de Caspar David Friedrich. Sauf que Friedrich peignait des hommes contemplant le sublime. Ici, ils contemplent la catastrophe. Et ils ne bougent pas.

Au centre, le parasol. Publicitaire, criard, dérisoire. Un pastis face à l’apocalypse. C’est presque trop parfait : la France qui prend l’apéro pendant que le monde brûle. Aucun scénariste n’aurait osé.

Et puis le ciel. Les deux tiers de l’image. Cette muraille de fumée qui avale la lumière, ce dégradé d’ocre et de noir digne d’un Turner. La nature qui reprend la palette des maîtres pour peindre notre propre fin.

La femme photographie l’incendie avec son téléphone. Mise en abyme totale : nous documentons notre disparition au lieu de l’empêcher.

Cette image dit tout. Le déni, le confort, l’habitude. Nous sommes tous sur cette plage. Nous voyons tous le nuage. Et nous restons assis, parce que l’eau est bonne et qu’on a posé nos congés.

Les historiens de l’art parleront un jour de cette photo comme on parle du Radeau de la Méduse.

Sauf que cette fois, le naufrage, c’est nous qui le regardons depuis la plage.

Kingston is fond of Hubs

Transportation Hub (No, really)
Integrated Care Hub
HART Hub
Youth Services Hub
Spruce Health Hub
Human Trafficking Hub (Really...)
Climate Technology Hub (No, really)
Innovation Hub
The Hub

Maybe we need to be a Food Hub

The truth about the scale of the 2026 Ontario wildfires is beginning to emerge.

Thunder Bay 36 is now the largest wildfire ever recorded in Ontario's history; more than 315,000 hectares, exceeding Ontario's entire 10-year average annual area burned by all wildfires combined.

It's unfathomably massive.

Which makes it hard to accept that, as communities self-evacuated and skies turned orange, Ontarians were told emergency response was under control. Meanwhile, First Nations described communication failures. Responders spoke of capacity shortages. Communities described being left without timely information. Yet the government was promoting visits to provincial parks and assuring Ontarians everything was going well.

Then they clued in...and ran.

As people ran for their lives, the premier and his ministers ran from accountability.

Difficult questions went unanswered. Interviews ended mid-question. Government PR attention shifted elsewhere. The Premier left the province for meetings while Northern Ontario remained in crisis.

And yet...

Northwestern Ontario still burns.
Thunder Bay 36 continues to grow.
Communities are still displaced.
First Nations are demanding answers.

History won't judge this wildfire season by the government's press conferences. It will judge it by what happened on the ground.

And trust me when I say: the North remembers.

That's why Ontario needs an independent public inquiry into this wildfire season. #OntarioWildfireInquiry

I have been trying to warn of the immediate threat of climate change, and possible food shortages/food hyperinflation for years, because our government/governments are recklessly negligent. I will briefly explain, why they are ignoring the warnings.

Most communist countries have national healthcare systems that provide universal health coverage for their citizens, who are entitled to healthcare services without direct charges at the point of service.

God forbid communist influences undermine your politics or society...

SECRETARY RUBIO: "The United States doesn't want to be a communist country. We're never going to be a communist country. We're not going to allow communist influences to undermine our politics or our society."

If you think this ad is ridiculous, you’re not paying attention to what Trump is doing.

[Sandi Bachom 📹 @sandibachom]

In case you didn't know. Brad Parscale in charge of Trump's 2016 campaign in which Russian hacker Guccifer 2.0 leaked the emails has just been hired by Netanyahu.

Kash Patel is going to Russia in time for the October surprise. AFTER Trump lost in 2020 he fired Mark Esper and hired Chris Miller and Patel as his chief of staff. They made J6 possible and lied about it under oath.

Fool me once.

"Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No Hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people livin' for today
Ah, ah, ah-ah

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothin' to kill or die for
And no religion, too..."

Rather than reducing fossil fuel use, spread wollastonite.

Currently the second largest geo-engineered atmospheric CO2 removal project in the world, positioning The City of Kingston at the forefront of GLOBAL CLIMATE INNOVATION.

And only 17 more sleeps until the Poker Run!
