As neighbours shared more information, they learned that hyperscale projects for #AI came only in one size: giant. That meant constant industrial humming, lights, security and vibrations from generators and hundreds of cooling fans
A facility’s water-intensive cooling systems also emitted hot air, creating dramatic heat island effects that raised local temperatures by several degrees #alberta #datacenters #canada

Jesse Wente is so good at providing context, nuance, positioning and scale!
These are the beginning of his thoughts, in the screenshot below.
I expect you can guess what he'll simply state. But maybe not. If it's new to you, excellent!

The #Montreal company that manufactured these two items has gone out of business. Older company going back decades. Yes, the tariffs. 15% was enough to do it …some months ago. I was lucky enough to grab some old stock.
The list will grow. #elbowsup
In a month or so, won’t be sitting outside as much. Summer is on the way out here.

It appears that the #LPC is bleeding support to the #NDP, but that #CPC voters switching to the Liberals offset the loss.
Well, at least the NDP are doing better. #MarkCarney is losing his appeal for leftists, which is only reasonable given his policies.

‘TO BRING ALL of this home to the economic fight Canada currently faces is a stretch but less of one than you might think. If the leaked details of the failed negotiations between Canadian and US trade teams are to be believed & the deeper aim of the Trump administration is to vassalize Canada—strip us of our industries & force us to trade our raw materials only with them and only under their diktats—then our independence really is on the line.’ https://thewalrus.ca/canada-can-make-trump-regret-this-trade-war/

Elon fucking Musk helping to bring back the Nazi Party in Germany. (Was thanked by the AfD leader today)
And journalists, politicians and so many others in Canada are like… BUT X is where people are!! How could we leave!!
Mastodon, the Fediverse, and the Open Social Web are the democratic, freedom based alternative we must use. Period.

There needs to be a dominant narrative to counter “folks who’ve got nothing but conspiracies and medieval fantasies to base their arguments upon.” A new frame is required, not factual counter-arguments. This is how George Lakoff explains it, “1) Repetition strengthens the synapses in neural circuits that people use in thinking 2) Whoever frames first has an advantage 3) Negating a frame activates and strengthens it.”

@johnefrancis I wasn't wondering that, no. The #CPC wouldn't put up a poster as you've described, and I don't think we've reached the point in #CanPol where political adversaries put up posters pretending to be someone else to make them look bad.
(Well, there was this story from 2025: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/liberal-oppo-csfn-1.7509217 )

@ZenHeathen
Yeah, that’s a toughy. I know when I post about politics I try to use hastag s like #uspol or #cdnpoli so folks that don’t want to see those things can filter them out. I’m sure Im not 100 compliant though. 😕 -
And just to underline the point of betrayal of democratic promises. Here is the seminal tweet from September 21, 2015 just before that year's Canadian Federal Election where the eventual winner, Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada, promises to abolish FPTP.
He did not.
(i love that X pulled up the current Liberal Party preview card, appropriately associating both the former and current Liberal party leaders with this betrayal. Democracy denied.)

Canada should have walked away from the deal even earlier than we did — it's not crazy to make concessions as part of CUSMA negotiations, but it was a mistake to do so in response to sudden threats, since that sets us up for future concessions after future threats.
That said, @TallSimon is right: we should give little trust to AI-generated pieces like this.

And "Health Canada sounded its own alarm...
Despite the warnings from federal scientists, the Impact Assessment Agency recently told the First Nation it is moving to expedite permits for the mine."

It appears if you want to let someone in the Canadian government know you'd really prefer if the rest of our fighter fleet were Gripens rather then more F-35's, Stephen Fuhr is the person to contact. If you're on Xitter still, his handle there is @FuhrMP
(As an aside, this article mentions the RCAF is very pro-US - It wants all US equipment and all F-35's despite the cost overruns and the hostile US government. #cdnpoli #Canadahttps://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/stephen-fuhr-canada-defence-procurement-rcaf-f35-9.7333073

"[T]he danger in times like the moment we are living in right now where passions are high is to create a binary where unless you are blindly uncritical of the government you are disloyal. This is wrong, but conservatives must guard against the impulse to go further and sink into a national form of self-loathing that leads you to siding with a foreign president insulting and demeaning our country."
-
Defence procurement is one of the most broken parts of the Canadian federal government — though, to be clear, what's needed is not someone who can bypass the process to get what we really need, but someone who can simplify, cut and reform the process so that it works in months or years, not decades.
Good luck to Minister Fuhr.

Narcissistic billiionaires like Elon Musk and Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke have deluded themselves into believing they represent normal people.
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with Rachel Gilmore to discuss how Shopify is pushing right-wing politics in Canada.

It’s been good to hear conservatives like Erin O’Toole talk positively and constructively about the break down in trade talks with the US.
In such contrast to the way PP talks with his sound bite and attack approach.

The prime reason #MarkCarney played the cynical, greasy #FridayNewsDump tactic is he *REALLY* doesn't want you linking how badly #ClimateChange is ALREADY destroying the Canada we know & love with his near daily efforts promoting a BRAND NEW PIPELINE that is GUARANTEED TO MAKE IT ALL WORSE #cdnpoli

I’ve got an update on my last newsletter post and a correction about Origami skill level needed, and photocopying requirements!
Only one side of your Alberta driver’s license or Alberta ID card needs to be copied - the front!

Amazing that the Alberta gov has shown the way to fund future cleanup of resources.
The 14$ fee for solar shows the exact path to handle the oil cleanup and prevent the future orphan wells problem. Instead of going bankrupt and skipping out at the end they have stumbled on the obvious answer that each new well hole can simply have a $56,000 fee added day one. If that makes it unaffordable then as with solar it shows you aren't responsible enough to have it for the long term.

Hot tip:
You can be "committed to reducing Canada's emissions and achieving net-zero by 2050"
****** OR *******
You can build another DEADLY pipeline for the #BigOil skunks
But you can't do both
This is the #MarkCarney government LYING to you about #ClimateChange.
Again.
