Thousands of Saguaro cacti in Arizona will be removed beginning next week for construction of a border wall near the Arizona - Mexico border. The Saguaro is protected by both state statutes and U.S. Endangered Species Act. Thousands have already been died due to climate change bringing extreme heat and prolonged drought in the desert. 🤬 https://t.co/AeKjhxmZyx

Carney’s message is clear: If you're a billionaire condo developer, government will step in to protect your investments. If you're a worker who loses your job, your business, or your home, you're on your own. The political class talks about affordability while taxpayers bankroll bailouts for the wealthy. Profits are private. Losses are socialized. Canadians deserve a government that works for citizens, not insiders.

Here is what should happen: the developers of these unwanted condos lower the price to what people are willing to pay. The purchasers now have an affordable home, or a place they rent for cheap. The developers lose money, sending the market signal that you shouldn't build that type of housing unless you can do it much cheaper. The developers lose money. They might even go bankrupt. That sucks, but that is business. Future developments are more suited to what people want and are willing to pay. The taxpayer doesn't pay for any of it. This is what the market is good at, and the government absolutely sucks at. Let the market do its job.

To the person holding the axe, it was just one tree. To everything around it, it was a world. The elephant lost shade from heat that can kill. The birds lost the branches where generations nested. The small mammals lost cover from predators. The insects lost food and shelter. The soil lost the roots that held water and life together. Even the air changed the moment the tree disappeared. Humans are the only species capable of turning a living ecosystem into an object so ordinary that its destruction feels economically insignificant. A forest is not a collection of trees. It is millions of living relationships occurring simultaneously. And extinction rarely begins with the death of an animal. It begins the moment the systems holding life together are treated as disposable. The most dangerous part is that destruction usually does not look violent while it is happening. It looks efficient.
