@politicalham @JeffreyRWRath At minimum @politicalham , he has been frequently called to the bar.

@sarobertsonca That quote is knee-jerk, culture war BS for her base. If you want to see real anti-development, just look at what Alberta under Smith has done to chase away billions in clean energy investment

[Christopher Pollon @C_Pollon]

Humanity is now over-pumping so much fresh #water to the surface, the run-off has become one of the biggest sources of global sea level rise.

See my latest @thewalrus story: https://t.co/IGUq8UrVM2

[Christopher Pollon @C_Pollon]

This story sets the stage for my upcoming National Observer series on renewable energy in #Alberta - where despite better solar and wind resources than virtually anywhere in Canada, the province is actively undermining #cleanenergy

As Donald Trump muses about redirecting northern water, Canada is fixated on potential theft, but @C_Pollon urges us to turn inward. “We are our own worst enemy—careless stewards squandering an advantage we assume will always be there.” https://t.co/8X5KuWD3Bp

My investigative series "A Canadian Arctic Port in the Shadow of Trump 2.0" -- for Canada's National Observer, has been nominated for a Digital Publishing Award for Best Reporting https://t.co/RGnKiAtDAZ #DPA26

[Christopher Pollon @C_Pollon]

My latest @thewalrus feature explains how fears of #Trump stealing Canada's #water are secondary to our own internal mismanagement, neglect and gluttony of the resource.

@MarcNixon24 @joeroganhq It's a great opportunity for #Poilievre to espouse his Maple #MAGA belief system

@DiaryofaFixer @globeandmail I like it.

[Christopher Pollon @C_Pollon]

I'm a guest on the Reading the Earth #mining podcast, interviewed by @Stantec 's Peter Thibodeau, about #rareearth supply chains, access to #criticalminerals as a major geopolitical issue, and where we go from here.

@hockeynight Watching Habs game with volume muted...that's how intolerable Debrusk's over commentary is

[Christopher Pollon @C_Pollon]

Other than industry insiders, who would bother reading a magazine story about #CriticalMinerals ?  Apparently, 150,000 readers in just two days: https://t.co/RwtWh8LSeD @thewalrus

[Christopher Pollon @C_Pollon]

Why does Canada not have a single #RareEarth mine in spite of lots of deposits? My latest for Canada's National Observer explores why.

My latest for @thewalrus ...

[The Walrus @thewalrus]

An AI-powered world will demand hard choices between the needs of humanity and those of machines, but how can we properly allocate critical resources when Big Tech is keeping us in the dark about AI’s environmental footprint? Journalist @C_Pollon explores: https://t.co/gUMawywA5t

The only thing they’re fighting is type 2 diabetes.

How #Canada can diversify trade away from the USA -- by shipping #CriticalMinerals like potash through the Arctic: my latest for Canada's National Observer:

https://t.co/NEZlvYHhFV

[Christopher Pollon @C_Pollon]

@webcav1 @SpencerHakimian Hmmmm...most potash is covered by the latest free trade agreement

[Christopher Pollon @C_Pollon]

My latest for @NatObserver explores the trade-offs #Churchill Manitoba must navigate to expand into Canada's only rail-connected Arctic trade corridor -- and an export pathway for #criticalminerals and more, to non-US markets

96 private jets full of corrupt elites and celebs flying into Venice, a city destroyed by tourism, to celebrate the wedding of the world’s most shameless tax dodger: Jeff Bezos.

Well, it's the perfect anecdote for future historians writing about this Second Gilded Age --> 🧵
