Paris, 2015 - world leaders pose for the cameras, pledging to keep global warming below 1.5C.
Paris, 2026 - 40C+ heat in June as the world passes 1.5C, with 2C now inevitable & 3C & 4C likely in our children’s lifetimes.
The greatest failure in the history of our species.
…and the reason being that our friend hasn’t stepped inside a library or actually read a book in a decade. Instead he gets all of his information from conspiracy sites that tell him what to think and say. Not even trying to exercise critical thinking, this is what what Hannah Arendt warned us about in 1950, book attached
What irks me most about all these reports is that THEY ALL START WITH THIS BUT REFUSE TO MANDATE SAFE STAFFING RATIOS AT EVERY LTC:
“The report identifies opportunities for improvement through measures such as enhanced staffing levels, …….”
Just do it if you really care.
This again. Stop blaming labor for the sins of capital. Immigration accounts for about 5% of the post-1980 wage inequality. But demonizing immigrants is a good distraction from the rising capital share of national income.
On Threads they’re debating whether using big words is ableist. I’m sick of this anti-intellectualism masquerading as social justice. People are making excuses to avoid having to do anything hard, but at some point you have to grow up and read and learn and challenge yourself.
Elementary Art Teacher Classroom Supply Funding = $0 under Doug Ford.
Good luck teaching kids how to do Art without any paper, pencils, pencil crayons, markers, paint, paintbrushes, markers, glue, scissors…
Okay kids, today we are finger painting using crushed grass on rocks.
What would it take for public corruption to become a political issue in Canada? We have so much rot, and at least here in Ontario, it goes all the way to the top
$55 million spent by Ford to tell us our crime is worse - it's not
that everything is better in Ontario
it's not
Waiting in an emergency dept? Too many kids in the classrooms? No job? No place to live affordably?
$55 million could have helped with that....
Another heatwave predicted here for about ten days time.
Maybe worse than the current one.
We should start naming them the way we name storms, and name them after climate deniers and fossil fuel companies.
The Ford government had an opportunity to ban these incessant and harmful online gambling ads in the last session thanks to my colleague @LFairclo. The Conservatives voted it down. So much for “protecting Ontario”. #onpoli

Questi giorni rafforzano la mia speranza. Non soltanto per ciò che abbiamo condiviso, ma per il modo in cui lo abbiamo fatto. In un tempo segnato dalla polarizzazione, anche il modo con cui la Chiesa ascolta e dialoga diventa parte del suo annuncio. Se sapremo continuare a cercare insieme la volontà del Signore, lasciandoci guidare dallo Spirito Santo, sono certo che la nostra comunione diventerà sempre più feconda per la missione della Chiesa e per il servizio all’intera famiglia umana. #ConcistoroStraordinario

The Catholic Church is belittled by +Barron standing in this supplicant way behind the pagan emperor seated at his desk. A true dialogue starts from a place of mutual recognition and respect. This is not dialogue but grovelling.
NEW: ‘Protect Ontario’ and other ad campaigns cost taxpayers $55 million last year across 3 ministries.
The latest FOI records we obtained reveal the Ministry of Finance spent $21.4M on ads last year.
We are still waiting for records from 5 other ministries.
Like the Epstein Files...
It won't be the cuckold GOP who bring justice, but other countries who are prepared to persue justice... Even if he was once a prince
English Common Law is still a forceful beast
"Revoking the legal status of hundreds of thousands of people residing in our country creates a moral crisis when returning to their country of origin is not a safe or reasonable option. If we are truly to affirm the God-given dignity of every human person, we as a nation cannot turn a blind eye to such an injustice and the impossible choices it will create for families and communities." - Bishop Brendan J. Cahill, chairman of the USCCB Committee on Migration.
This week, the Trump Administration ultimately prevailed in a court challenge to its decision to end temporary protected status (TPS) for Haiti and Syria.
