International Trade Lawyer & Policy Strategist Barry Appleton on CBC power & politics: the collapse of US trade deal today is #Canada’s trade Pearl Harbour.

Appleton warns that retaliatory tariffs on US is self-harm. But other options exist.

Blocking trade at border, such as provinces did to booze, hits pain points and gets US attention.

Buying no #Maine lobster for NB & NS processing plants during governor Collins’ re-election campaign might hit hard.

They hide up-state like snot-nosed little cowards. He is detested, what *possible* good could he believe he is doing anyone here, it's an American farce. #Maine

A few more photos from yesterday's hikes, no watch data this time. Went to a coastal overlook, then down to Hunter Beach about a mile away or less from there. Gorgeous with the fog. Made me think of the PNW, yet different.

All photos on Mt. Desert Island.

Lobsters and acidic seas: can shellfish help neutralise one of the greatest threats to the ocean?
By Alexandra Talty in Cape Cod, Massachusetts

Crustaceans are the subject of tests to see if alkalis added to seawater, so it absorbs more CO2, harm marine life. But Trump’s halt to funding threatens to scupper the research

#Maine #weather discussion from Pine Tree Weather - High clouds with coastal fog for Thursday https://pinetreeweather.substack.com/p/high-clouds-with-coastal-fog-for #MEwx

I found about this rally from the #MaineDSA mailing list! #DSA and #EnvironmentalGroups working together!!!

#PortlandME and #LewistonME - August 27, 2026

No Immunity for #BigOil Rallies!

"While making record profits, Big Oil and their allies in Congress are trying to get off the hook from paying for damages caused by their pollution by passing sweeping immunity legislation to protect their #corporate interests. Let's be clear: if you make a mess, you clean it up. #Maine taxpayers have been stuck paying for climate damages with no support from the corporations that caused the problem, and that isn't right.

"Join NRCM and our coalition partners on Thursday, August 27th in Portland and/or Lewiston to tell Maine's Congressional delegation to oppose Immunity for Big Oil and Make Polluters Pay for the damages they've caused in Maine.

Portland
When: 12 PM
Where: Lobsterman Park, 1 Temple Street
What: Rally followed by a march to deliver letters to the offices of Sen. Collins, Sen. King, and Rep. Pingree. Bring your signs, your voice, and your energy!


Lewiston
When: 4 PM
Where: Dufresne Plaza, 72 Lisbon Street, Lewiston
What: Rally followed by a march to deliver letters to Sen. Collins and Rep. Golden. Bring your signs, your voice, and your energy! "

News Center Maine: New database compares rent costs at Maine’s mobile home parks. “The Maine Office of Community Affairs has launched a dashboard with data on Maine’s 475 mobile home parks, including how much lot rent is at each of them. It’s a new tool to try to protect mobile home park residents, as more parks are bought by large, out-of-state corporations that often raise rent.”
