Even a broken clock…

ohhhh now i get it

I think it was probably an accident (I believe Global has since pulled it?), but a happy one.

I’m not super comfortable with a lot of what he’s saying, but it would be pretty tough to make the case that “not enough action” isn’t an accurate statement.

According to new data released from Environment and Climate Change Canada, the country will fall well short of its 2030 climate goal — just halfway to its target of a 40 to 45 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions below 2005 levels.

I’m deeply skeptical that his approach is going to do any better, but I support the idea of boosting investment in clean(er) alternatives. And he did get Alberta to agree to increase their industrial carbon price.

Also, it looks like these jets will be for operations like medevac and disaster relief, with VIP transport continuing to be gravely by the Airbus CC-330.

This article muddies that a bit by delving into the past controversies with the use of the Challengers as VIP transport.

It looks like the Global 6500 is a new/in-development plane, but it’s a business jet, which is one of the few things Bombardier seems to do well. Hopefully they won’t make a mess of it.

I agree, but also this was a 2700 km trip, as the crow flies.

The boos came later when she asked if they were more comfortable in Canada than they were a few days ago.

And the pipeline deal is why she was asking, so what’s the difference, exactly?

What are the chances that Alberta just agreed to an increased industrial carbon tax in exchange for a pipeline that never gets built?

Well, euthanizing 1/3 of the population would certainly help alleviate the housing crisis…

Agreed - it’s pretty unlikely that you’d be able to prove something like that.

I suppose you could try to apply precedents surrounding HIV disclosure, but I think it’d be a tough sell.

Edit: And to be clear, even in that situation, we’re talking about disclosure, not actual treatment-related choices.

Not a big shock - there have been allegations surrounding the guy for years.

Yeah, I lucked out in having nothing better to do at the time. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to catch all of the rest of the series, but I’m definitely going to keep an eye on it!

I don’t really follow baseball at all, and haven’t watched any of the playoffs to date. But I did watch this.

“As the labour movement in this province, our leaders have made a commitment to rise to that challenge, defend the teachers and their rights, defend worker rights more broadly, and to defend our democracy. We have no choice.”

[Gil McGowan, president of the Alberta Federation of Labour] stopped short of confirming whether that response would include a provincewide strike, but said, “it’s one of the things that’s actively under consideration."

I’m not in Alberta, but pay doesn’t seem to be the sticking point here - the union is trying to negotiate on class sizes (which AFAIK the province is refusing to even disclose) and classroom supports.

Abuse of the NWS has been progressively normalized over the last few decades, and I think we’ve reached the breaking point.

I linked to the article!

I took it from a news article from last week, which suggests pretty strongly that that proposal is exactly what was implemented, and they never produced an updated graphic.

But again, I’d welcome a genuine correction.

If you have additional information that contradicts it, I’d happy to see it. I don’t live in Quebec, and only know what I know.
