Read this! For realistic reasons not to despair about climate change - but also to keep working - Chris is one of the best on the beat, and has been for a long while.

Great piece from Chris, as usual. The speed at which big climate policy wins turn into 'but what have you done for me lately' or 'this isn't anywhere near enough' is a big challenge too.

Okay so this The Globe and Mail sorry about protesters forcing their way past a wildfire barricade is very bad and disturbing. But let’s not let that get in the way of celebrating this delightful detail

I like how this post celebrates a kind of project Danielle Smith just recklessly slammed the brakes on in Alberta.

But I LOVE that her comms folks were so keen to drop a metalhead umlaut they mangled a German word to do it (it’s “wunderbar”).

A minor additional point for the motley crüe running the premier’s comms: there is no umlaut in “wunderbar,” dudes 🤘🤘

The province put out a news release this morning celebrating a geothermal project in Germany, developed by an Alberta company. Anyway I'll just leave this story here about how they've included geothermal in the renewables pause 🤗theglobeandmail.com/business/artic… #ableg #cdnpoli #cdnecon

Alberta company with oil patch roots and a breakthrough clean technology. Somebody should ask Danielle Smith what she thinks of it

What’s great about Gaus is Unhappy Twitter is it’s built on a quote with roughly one-eighth of a teaspoon more substance to it than the blank verse Crash made Nuke memorize in Bull Durham

What’s the German word for shooting yourself in the foot and then handing out foot safety awards?

If you ever wanted to teach a j-school class in using the tropes of conventional reporting to file a spectacularly petty piece on a politician you hate because how dare she criticize car ownership, this would be an excellent text

Priorities, UCP style

Can confirm it’s the same if you search “Kelowna” right now — just raging blue checks spreading misinfo and climate denial

Postponing is a bold choice

One of the best Simpsons scenes ever. Few lines in my household get quoted as often as “probably
