The FIRST big thing: they accredited oddball INFLUENCERS, including those who have been CAUGHT spreading #disinformation, while REFUSING to accredit ACTUAL media like the #NationalObserver Beyond that, the policy debates proved interesting if LARGELY unsurprising 🇨🇦 #Cdnpoli youtu.be/SUblby7j-xE?...

The Conservative convention chose to keep Poilievre as leader (but that's not all they decided!!!)

In an act of climate comedy gold, #Google taps the backspace on its net-zero promise, proving that digital oaths are as fragile as a toddler’s sandcastle 🌊🏰. Meanwhile, Canada's National Observer churns out another word salad on the climate buffet table, but who’s hungry for cold promises anyway? 🌿❌

Google deletes net-zero pledge from sustainability website

Five years ago, Google’s climate action ambitions were the gold standard for Big Tech. Then, with power demand spikes from AI data centres, in July it scrubbed its sustainability website of its 2030 net zero pledge.

Any other #NationalObserver paid subscribers a bit peeved by them constantly asking you to donate to them.

Thank you #Nationalobserver. After reading all the depressing news today this reminded me that its not over.

"The fossil fuel power brokers will not be saved by war and fascism. The influence of disinformation will weaken. The affordability crisis and the promise that fossil fuel brings wealth to everyone will be recognized as a con job when the cycle of recession and economic crisis returns. "

The revolution will not be on social media

Amidst the gloom, renewable energy and electrification are among the many lights shining through the cracks of a decaying system.

Say what you like about Justin Trudeau, he is qualified to be prime minister

The Trudeau Liberal government is the most progressive federal government in Canadian history, though hardly the left-wing regime of Conservative Party rhetoric.

I just found out #CatherineJamieson, "Scribulatora" on 🐦 site, died of #cancer last week, aged 61. #MaxFawcett, lead columnist for #Canada's #NationalObserver, describes her: "a former Red Tory, passionate defender of reason & science, an articulate champion of progressive values & politics..someone who had unbridled contempt for liars, dissemblers & deceivers, & who reserved her harshest condemnation for those who abused the truth to advance their own political objectives"

Spot on.

How to kill clean energy transition

Alberta is following Ontario's playbook: Sharpening knives that will be plunged into the backs of renewable energy workers, landowners and diversified energy companies across the province. 

Canada's National Observer

...the #IEA's findings imply many #Canadian #Financial #Institutions are over-invested in #FossilFuels because the assets they're investing in (new pipelines, export terminals and power plants) are at increased risk of becoming worth less, if not worthless, as the #EnergyTransition significantly eats into fossil fuel demand.

Canada out of step with ‘unstoppable’ green energy transition: IEA

The International Energy Agency says the transition to renewables is not a matter of "if" but a question of "how soon?" The implication is enormous for Canada's fossil fuel obsession.
