Final Words ✨

“Last year, I had a life-changing experience at 90 years old. I went to space, after decades of playing an iconic science-fiction character who was exploring the universe. I thought I would experience a deep connection with the immensity around us, a deep call for endless exploration.

“I was absolutely wrong. The strongest feeling, that dominated everything else by far, was the deepest grief that I had ever experienced.

“I understood, in the clearest possible way, that we were living on a tiny oasis of life, surrounded by an immensity of death. I didn’t see infinite possibilities of worlds to explore, of adventures to have, or living creatures to connect with. I saw the deepest darkness I could have ever imagined, contrasting so starkly with the welcoming warmth of our nurturing home planet.

“This was an immensely powerful awakening for me. It filled me with sadness. I realized that we had spent decades, if not centuries, being obsessed with looking away, with looking outside. I did my share in popularizing the idea that space was the final frontier. But I had to get to space to understand that Earth is and will stay our only home. And that we have been ravaging it, relentlessly, making it uninhabitable.”

The brutal bombing of Ukraine’s people and its cities is not because Russia’s security is threatened. It is because Russia is a brutal aggressor. That much is clear. Ukraine is not just defending itself. It is defending all of us. That is even clearer. The resistance of the rest of us has to meet this testing moment.

What happened to 'Justinflation'? Such a witty little slogan.

The carbon tax will increase the price of gas by just over 3 cents on April 1st.

Meanwhile, in the past week, the price of gas went up about 15 cents - and no one said anything!!!

My tower of power rests quietly in the basement now. Although it has more brand variety such as Nakamichi and Harmon Kardon.

[Unbranded @Unbranded63]

According to a U of Calgary study, the carbon tax's impact on the price of everyday goods and services is negligible. In all of these cases, less than 1%.
Some examples:
Restaurants 0.22%
Hotels 0.22%
Clothing 0.2%
Pharma 0.24%
Alcohol 0.28%
Rent 0.29%
Food 0.33%

PP is lying

[Paul Green @Greenski2]

When will anyone point out that the April 1 increase in carbon tax on gasoline, for example, will not almost bankrupt Canadians, as PP keeps saying. It's 3 cents a lite. 3 cents! Anyone? Hello Trudeau govt.

@acoyne SNC was never a scandal, WE was a good charity destroyed by a rabid pit bull like PP & the Conservative Party, & the new ArriveCan has nothing to do with PMJT.

[Paul Green @Greenski2]

@globeandmail Typical @globeandmail bothsides defense of PP. Evidence of all the doom and gloom is PP's relentless doom and gloom campaigning, but also Trudeau's mentioning PP's doom and gloom campaigning. It's as much his fault.

Which jokers in Toronto urban planning thought Yonge below Bloor would keep its chaotic retail character after allowing developers to level several blocks for condos with anonymous glass curtains at street level? Retail sits empty so killing Yonge St. almost complete.

[John Lorinc @JohnLorinc]

#topoli An entire street wall of at-grade, sidewalk adjacent windows, covered up (in this case for liquor store shelving). Example [insert large number here] of the fatuous promise of condo podiums as replacements for mainstreet retail.

Imagine not seeing the irony in introducing a bill called "Getting it Done" after being on holidays for 10 weeks. Especially when most of what the bill covers - nobody was even trying to get done.
@Fordnation has to go.

Perhaps PP refers to the Clown Convoy.

“Streets are crawling with crime and chaos” says Poilievre. Where the hell is he living?? Talk about scare mongering!

🧵A modest suggestion: the 🍁Conservatives are consciously adopting the technique used by fascists for generations. In Steve Bannon’s phrase, ‘flood the zone’ with negativity and wild allegations, day after day, week after week, year after year. The aim is to exhaust good …

The EA was enacted due to Doug Fords' absolute freaking failure to do his job. Ford needs to wear this. Not Trudeau, who was the only adult in the room willing to do what was needed although he knew it would harm him politically. What a freaking joke we're becoming.
