I'm generally happy with what the Carney government has been doing except on climate.

[Robb Barnes 🇨🇦 @robb_barnes]

Extreme storms and flooding ruined Canada Day in Ottawa yesterday.

The day before, after a year of climate rollbacks, Carney indicated Canada would ditch its climate targets.

I wonder if these things are connected? 🤔

BOMBSHELL reporting finds Princeton climate researchers took tens of millions of dollars from BP to publish research, shaped and edited by BP, promoting carbon capture & storage and fossil fuels.

Landmark "Wedges" climate paper promoting CCS now confirmed to be BP propaganda.

I wonder when people will start to really connect the dots between fossil fuels and the daily climate change impacts that are becoming more extreme and frequent. In Winnipeg already this year we have had an unusual number of tornadoes and one of the largest storms I’ve ever seen.

Ken Paxton was impeached for taking bribes from donors.

He became a multi-millionaire on a government salary.

He takes lavish vacations in Iceland while Texans can’t afford the basics.

Ken Paxton doesn’t serve us — he serves himself.

One billionaire family controls the bridge that carries 25% of all U.S.–Canada trade.

The good news? There's a brand new public bridge right next door (and Canada paid for the whole thing).

The bad news? Donald Trump won't let it open.

Here's the story:

For more than a decade, Michigan and Canada worked together to build a new public crossing right next to it — six lanes over the Detroit River, named for a Canadian-born Red Wings legend, built by thousands of union workers. Canada paid the entire bill. Michigan co-owns it. It's finished. It’s a shining example of international cooperation and collaboration, with a tremendous return for both sides: more jobs, faster trade, and lower costs.

So why isn't it open?

Because the Moroun family, who own the rival Ambassador Bridge just up the river, doesn’t want the competition. They spent years and tens of millions of dollars trying to stop any competing international crossing from being built or opening. They lost. So they went to the White House instead.

In January, Matthew Moroun gave $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC. Then the billionaire called Trump's Commerce Secretary and, just hours later, Trump suddenly attacked the same publicly owned bridge he praised in his own first term and threatened to block it.
Then, the day before the June 12th ribbon-cutting, the opening was called off indefinitely.

It's corruption so flagrant it would be laughable if it weren't so damaging.

Trump is screwing over Michiganders for the interests of billionaires — holding a finished, publicly owned project hostage to protect one donor's toll booth.

So a finished bridge sits closed, Michiganders keep paying the higher tolls, cars and trucks cost more, and a billionaire family keeps its monopoly.

Mr. President: stop playing games. Open the damn bridge.

The Heat are sending to Milwaukee unprotected first-rounders in 2031 and 2033 along with No. 13, a pick swap in 2030 and a 2033 second-rounder, according to sources. 

The trade does not include any additional teams -- it is a one-to-one move, sources said -- but both the Heat and Bucks will execute the deal on July 6, which leaves the framework open to see if there are opportunities to expand.

Meanwhile, just at the moment:
>Europe's heatwave is relentless into late June and shocking for its early timing, in a world already ~1.5°C+ warmer than pre-industrial levels
>Insane 42.7°C (108.8F) peak in Portugal & Spain (21 June)
>Widespread alerts: Spain/Portugal (red/orange warnings, 39–40°C+ possible); France, Italy, Germany (up to 38–39°C); UK (amber extreme heat warnings, possible mid-30s to low 38°C in south) and so on

2003’s catastrophic heatwave killed ~70,000 across Europe, and that was *before* we permanently crossed today's ~1.5°C threshold.

These events are now more frequent, more intense and arriving earlier, while heat records continue to fall worldwide

Phase out dirty fossil fuels *now*, or this nightmare just gets worse every year. Stop approving pipelines and expand renewables and electrification at emergency speed. Your move, politicians.

A brand new bridge between Detroit and Canada is finished and ready to open. It would speed up traffic for millions of trucks, cut delays for American businesses, and help the auto industry that employs people in every state. There is just one problem.

Donald Trump won’t let it open.

Here is why.

The family that owns the old bridge stands to lose business when the new one opens. So in January, they gave one million dollars to a pro-Trump super PAC.

Weeks later they met with Trump’s Commerce Secretary.

He called Trump.

Hours after that, Trump announced he would block the new bridge. The opening was set for June 12. It got canceled the day before. The bridge sits there finished and empty.

Now here is the part that should make every taxpayer angry.

Canada paid for the entire bridge.

Every dollar. And the United States already owns half of it for free. Trump is holding up a bridge we got for nothing, to protect a donor who wrote him a check, while picking a fight with our closest ally and biggest trading partner.

This is corruption in plain sight.

A billionaire pays, and the President delivers. American workers and businesses pay the price.

Open the bridge. A government should work for the people, not for whoever writes the biggest check.

We were absolutely floored by the millions of you that watched us make silly water sillouettes on our driveway last summer. We are starting out the summer the only way we know how, and this time it’s all about movies! What else do you want to see? We have a whole summer ahead, a driveway and a hose. The possibilities are endless!!!
