@PreetBharara Hi Preet, curious to know if Judge Merchan already knew the sentence he would impose on Trump at the time the sentencing was delayed back in July. And could the sentence possibly change between then and the current sentencing date in November?

Digging into Canadian (and US) water heating market share data. In Canada we seem to have a few more electric water heaters, in the US it is closer to balanced. Talking to a builder recently who installs mostly electric water heaters, he indicated the operating cost is not much different, the capital cost is lower, and you end up with 1-2 less holes in the envelope.

With climate records being shattered weekly, this cartoon is even more apt.
July global avg temp is the latest to fall; a new analysis by @khaustein finds it's the hottest ever recorded, possibly the hottest in 120,000 years.
Here's what this means & why there’s still hope.🧵

Springtime in the luscious Mossy Maple Grove west of Lake Cowichan in Hul’q’umi'num territory. Like something from a fairy tale, this rare and spectacular grove is home to super shaggy #oldgrowth bigleaf maple trees adorned with thick mats of hanging moss.

If you look at all of the geopolitical challenges in the world today, @ianbremmer says over 90% of them come from some combination of three factors.

He joins @Sean_Speer and @TheHubCanada to discuss the looming threats that will change the world ⬇️

@MerriamWebster Definitely nonplussed. I was nonplussed when I learned it meant bewildered. It is used wrong more than it is used correctly I think!

Floods. Wildfires. 25,000 evacuated in Alberta, BC. In May!!! Meanwhile record 45C temps in Europe & S Asia. Next time you hear Cdn bank CEO or oil Exec say “transition takes time” see it for what it is - self interested greed & fear blocking urgent evolution.

Fighting climate change is cheap compared to the alternative!

Republicans said that mask mandates & lockdowns during a global pandemic were an ‘infringement on their rights’, and yet:

In the state of Idaho, the Republican Governor has implemented an interstate travel RESTRICTION on abortion care.

In Kansas, Republicans have authorized genital inspections of CHILDREN in order for kids to play sports.

In Florida, the Republican controlled legislature wants to PROHIBIT female students from discussing their menstrual cycles in school.

And in Indiana, the Republican Governor has signed into law a total BAN on gender affirming care for minors - even for those already currently transitioning.

But do go on about mask mandates and lockdowns won’t you.

Hey @CityofVancouver⁩ this is second incident I’ve seen caused by these useless ‘slow street’ barricades installed last month. They don’t slow down traffic; they cause crashes and traffic chaos.
