  1. RE: fosstodon.org/@AkaSci/11724956

    Any observant, reasonably grounded person expects the Republicans to refuse to give up power and to attempt to seize permanent power after the election. Many (all?) have committed many crimes, some of them treason. They cannot afford to lose.

    "House Republicans are now poised to claim that the midterm elections were stolen from them when they meet on January 3 to decide which members-elect will be seated in the 120th Congress."

  3. "Environmental laws exist for a reason – to protect our health and safety, the clean air and water we rely on, and the nature that makes Canada unique. Dismantling decades worth of legal protections to speed up development and putting these important values at risk is not a path to true prosperity."

    70% is too high. When freinds let you know they are looking at plans to go Trumpside, unless its visiting family, its not funny if is not.

    Visiting the US is a pre tariff dog thing to do.

  8. UN: “We’ve seen mass evacuations. Power stations closed. And trade routes choked. Crops lost. Yields down. And food prices up – and set to rise further.”

    ”To be soft on climate action is to be soft on inflation, and the cost of living, soft on sovereignty and security, and soft on economic growth and jobs. The fossil fuel crisis is also pushing up the costs of government borrowing, meaning less fiscal space to deliver vital services that populations need and expect.”

    No dictator or wannabe can abide a democratic neighbour, especially one that seems happier, healthier, safer, and more prosperous. It puts the lie to their promises.

    Most dictators are narcissists, so again, they can't afford comparison.

    "Trump, who has made clear that Canada shouldn’t even exist as an independent state. Trump’s attitude toward Canada is almost indistinguishable from the way Russian President Vladimir Putin sees Ukraine"

  10. "The transformation represents largest restructuring of the Canadian Army since at least the end of the Cold War, possibly since the Second World War

    The restructuring enables the army to prepare to mobilize large-scale combat forces for NATO operations in Europe, while simultaneously prioritizing domestic territorial defence at home. "

  11. 2/ The recently-released data centre framework does absolutely nothing to guarantee protection for Canadians. The principles are entirely voluntary and non-binding. We know how corporations treat self-regulation.

    We need legally-binding protections, real public control, and an AI policy that puts people first - including a pause on new AI data centres until regulations are in place.

    There’s too much on the line. Only the federal government can act comprehensively on AI.

    We need our government to slow down and get real about the many risks: to jobs, to neighbourhoods, to air quality and electricity prices. And yes, to all human life.

  13. 1/ I wish I shared the minister’s confidence that Canadians (let alone all humans) are well protected from the many different dangers of AI.

    When it comes to these warnings about AI self-improvement accelerating to the point where it could wipe out humanity in the next few years, it’s important to say that they could be a marketing stunt to fuel fear and pump even more money into the AI bubble.

    Or, these tech companies are actively building a technology they know could kill us all.

    Either way, we need to slow down the rush to embed AI in every part of our lives, to build data centres everywhere, and to embrace AI the way the Government of Canada has been doing.

    The feds need to lead the effort to put hard, legal guardrails on AI and slow down the rush. Not cheerlead, lead.

  14. Not so fast: airports may very well be on the auction block at the investment summit.

    We've seen a copy of the pitch book for Carney's investor summit, and here's an interesting paragraph:

    "The federal government is also exploring new models of infrastructure ownership and investment to unlock additional sources of capital, including the intention to maximize the full value and economic potential of Canada’s airports by modernizing governance and increasing capacity.

    Together with the focus on export and trade diversification, the Canadian transportation sector is creating opportunities for long-term investment, modernization and asset growth."

    That's a lot of words to say "airports could still be up for sale."

  15. "Carney has once again taken a wrecking ball to Canada’s environmental safeguards and climate progress. Many of his moves since coming to power have been done quietly, to avoid the public backlash that these environmental rollbacks rightfully deserve. Such is the case with the amendments tabled this morning in stealth."

    "There was no forewarning of this decision. No press release. No press conference."

    #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines

  16. Mark Carney's "latest attack on Canada’s hard-fought environmental rules came in the form of a quiet posting in the Canada Gazette which announced that some of the country’s most polluting projects will no longer be reviewed under the country’s Impact Assessment Act. This includes the country’s largest carbon bombs: oil and gas pipelines (including in national parks), in situ oil sands extraction and fossil gas plants."

    "If the Prime Minister proceeds, nature will suffer, species could be driven to extinction and climate disasters will continue to become more severe, deadly and expensive — all while project decision-making becomes less transparent, less evidence-based and more politicized."

  21. Freeland US reality check:

    "Canadians [don't] hold out a lot of hope for Donald Trump to change his behaviour, but they're going to be watching to see what regular [USians] choose. Do you choose to go down this dark path? or are you going to choose something else?" #cdnpoli

  22. Re cbc.ca/news/politics/governmen

    Don't be fooled by the claim that "legislation being prepared to preserve Species at Risk Act" SARA needs to be protected from the Gov't of Canada.
    Industry has been lobbying for years to gut this law, e.g.; dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.32633.68960/1
    Shaun Fluker & I showed how DFO attempted to undermine the Act for 1 threatened sp. as an example: scholarworks.umt.edu/plrlr/vol

  23. Sadly, this attitude is typical of Canadian liberal elites. They think electing some Democrats will fix things with the US.

    Chyrstia Freeland:

    "I really wish [US] would recognize that the world is watching them — We would prefer a United States which was democratic and was a good ally for the world's democracies, we just don't know if that's going to be the choice [the US] makes." #cdnpoli

  24. Freeland US reality check:

    "Trump is president - elected a 2nd time. You are the place where democracy is on life support. — We are seeing more [USians] than we should be seeing capitulating to [Trump] — Too many [USians] are capitulating to an increasingly authoritarian regime." #cdnpoli

  25. Freeland US reality check:

    "There is a huge effort among [the US] traditional allies right now to diversify away from [the US]. Whether it is in trade or security. — The World's democracies, recognize that we would all be much better off if [the US] became sane again." #cdnpoli

  26. "The federal government has quietly stopped evaluating whether new gas power plants and oilsand facilities will damage Canada's rivers and lakes, air quality and species on the edge of extinction."

  28. Chrystia Freeland gives the US a reality check:

    "President Trump was elected not once, but twice, and that is causing a lot of Canadians to wonder if the United States can ever be trusted again." #cdnpoli

    "'AI Minister' Solomon announced the launch of a new initiative to boost AI literacy among Canadians.

    … includes 'AI essentials' courses for students, educators & Canadians in general. The gov't is partnering with the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute, one of Canada’s three national AI institutes.

    'We’ll invest $13 million to launch this course, to expand AI literacy for every single Canadian'."

    (What a waste) 😠.

  31. It means he is in debt for GENERATIONS...

    and the only way he repays that debt is by trying to sell #Alberta off to them until he's in the clear, which he never will be.

    He's a selfish madman.

    And he's willing to sacrifice OUR home and native land to be the rich man he NEEDS to be 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 #Cdnpoli

  32. Trump discussing the takeover of Canada, January 2025, he states that his plan is not to take Canada by military force but attack them economically. The so called trade war he launched is meant to cripple the Canadian economy and trigger a US takeover of the country. #CdnPoli

  33. Saddle Lake First Nation in Alberta (NE of Edmonton) offers a safe haven for gender affirming care.

    It'd be fascinating to see if this gets challenged. Treaty affairs are federal matters.

    At least there are opportunities for safe havens.

  34. “In this conversation, Fawcett says Canadians should prepare for a longer conflict and stop assuming the old Canada-U.S. relationship can simply be restored after Trump. He argues the real choice is no longer between the pre-Trump status quo and diversification, but between deeper dependence on the United States and building new economic relationships in Europe, Asia, and elsewhere.”
