Having a carbon budget means we need to spend our remaining CO2 emissions building systems that emit no CO2. Any other use is irresponsible.

I'm proud to be associated with this report, and hope that its recommendations have some resonance in global policy discussions.

@OxxyRevenge @David_Moscrop this is not paid time off, they aren't getting paid (unless they picket, then they get strike pay, which is a reduced amount). Workers aren't striking for fun, striking has serious consequences for workers (reduced cash flow etc.).

[Proy @Proy_TO]

@XmedicNow @David_Moscrop a big part of the workers striking will be CRA employees, tax returns, noa etc. will be delayed. We will notice then.

I spent a few weeks in the Mekong Delta with photographer Goran Tomasevic to document the climate migration paradox: Although climate damage forces millions to find new livelihoods elsewhere, climate change also sharply reduces the ability to migrate

The Conservative gov just ordered regions like @RegionWaterloo to reduce density & remove farmland that feeds Ontario. Cities can meet targets without this. Instead of fixing the housing crisis, they are making a farming crisis. Why? Who benefits? #ONpoli https://t.co/PJYOLtsmwy

If Clarence Thomas were a Democrat, republicans would have already removed him from the Supreme Court.

…and that should tell you everything you need to know about the GOP.

“We need a much more proactive, and ambitious, common good approach [to the water crisis]. We have to put justice and equity at the centre of this, it’s not just a technological or finance problem,” says @MazzucatoM in this interesting @guardian piece.

How is some Chinese billionaire donating $200K to a foundation different from some US oligarch donating millions to foundations?

I'll wait.

The ghosts of economics past, present and future need to haunt Macklem.

[Jim Stanford @JimboStanford]

Interesting phrase in Bank of Canada verbiage today (both the release & Macklem's statement): "corporate pricing behaviour has to normalize." Is that an acknowledgement that profits, not wages, have been the leading edge of this inflation? #cdnecon /2

[David Miller T.O. @iamdavidmiller]

Mayor Tory had a conflict on this given the direct benefit to Rogers, who was paying him a six figure salary. Did he declare a conflict? According to the City his staff were very active on the World Cup bid, and the lead civil servant reported directly to him, at his direction

[DJ Chocolate Milk @DJChocolateMLK]

If the media is looking for another charity to take down, I recommend the Fraser Institute. They are nothing but foreign influence in our society. They exist to funnel republican money into Canada to screw us out of our healthcare.

[Gil Meslin @g_meslin]

The fact that the City may be spending up to $300M to host five soccer games - at a moment when it can’t afford to shelter people, run buses, or maintain infrastructure - should be another issue discussed during this mayoral election.

[Roddy 🇨🇦 @RodKahx]

Again just wait, Poilievre has asked a foreign owned private company to label a Canadian organization as part of his defund The CBC campaign to help him get elected Prime Minister of Canada?

Do I have this right?

I don’t know what is scarier, the fact that atmospheric CO2 just hit the highest level in human history, or that it has gone close to completely unnoticed…
