Ottawa storm

Neither our federal govt nor any provincial government of any political stripe is actually treating the #ClimateCrisis like an emergency. When do you know if a government is actually in emergency mode in response to a crisis? When it does this 👇

Joe Biden is coming to Ottawa. His government is putting in massive investments to kick start a clean energy economy. I am meeting with @ABFedLabour and their affiliates. They are ready to take the lead in the transformation. Will the Liberals step up? https://t.co/uhux4qeRd3

William Shatner on his Blue Origin flight to space: "It was among the strongest feelings of grief I have ever encountered." https://t.co/CI1WDV17oe

Still no word from Mayor @_MarkSutcliffe on this shocking story - does he care about enforcing Ottawa's tree bylaw or does he not want to cause any discomfort for his developer buddies at Taggart? https://t.co/6V4m1N2wtO

You've been told by the corporate media that the status quo is as good as it's ever going to get. That you can only hope to tinker around the edges. Let me tell you — they're wrong. A better world is possible. Think big. Organize. Fight for an economy that works for all of us.

& improving the health of our population isn’t the main goal of this current system. (We rank 10th out of 11 "developed" countries... only beating out the United States. We can do much better and learn from others.) https://t.co/sqyheAnrpa

In the first month of 2023, stock buybacks hit $132 billion — the highest total ever to start a year. Instead of using their profits to raise worker pay or invest in job growth, corporations often use them to pad the pockets of wealthy execs and shareholders.

Today an Alberta lawyer argued that requiring lawyers to take an indigenous cultural course was the same as forcing indigenous children into residential schools and I’ve never heard a more powerful argument for requiring lawyers to take an indigenous cultural course. #ableg

Robert Reich: The media's remarkable silence on the cause of California's tragic storms

Listening to @jimbryson ‘s “Instant Holiday Album” makes keeping old technology around worth it. Happy Holidays.

20 year ago today we lost Joe Strummer. I have never forgotten the moment that I put on the first Clash album. Nothing was ever the same again. Joe Strummer had passion, courage and a belief that three chords and an amp could make a better world. Rock with the angels Joe.

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

This seems like a "world," but in reality it's an intricate spaceship and the global rich are degrading and breaking its life support systems in real time.

Billionaires are doing to the planet and its people what Musk is doing to Twitter. Money is power, and when people can accumulate so much, they acquire a destructive power that can overwhelm democracy’s defences.
