Scrapping consumer carbon tax unlikely to have impact on food prices, expert says

After being sworn in on Friday, Prime Minister Mark Carney signed a prime ministerial directive instructing that the fuel charge be removed effective April 1. It's a move Carney says would make a difference to Canadians who are struggling to make ends meet currently. But some experts say it wont translate to any savings at the grocery store.

The #Category4 #HurricaneHelene brought historic flooding and at least 45 dead. #TeachableMoments from climate disasters are important. Like #Wildfires, #Hurricanes have always existed but over the last few years they are consistently larger, more dangerous, more destructive & more expensive. So far #Florida Gov #Desantis' big response to #ClimateChange was to outlaw the words. #StephenHarper did the same in Canada when he was PM & it's no better than all these #AxeTheTax androids now. #cdnpoli

Just never forget: that elephant walked into that cage under its own free will. And it's never long before Canada's "Conservatives" follow America's when they think they can get away with it. #TeachableMoments #Election2024 #DebateNight #cdnpoli

Speaking of #Jasper's #TeachableMoments quite a lot of Canada's national media are #climate disasters all on their own. This is an actual #GlobeAndMail headline 🙃

The Climate equivalent of one of Canada's supposed top newspapers advising lung cancer victims to not quit smoking, just get more exercise. Disastrously bad stuff. The best that can be said about it is it's behind a paywall so at least nobody will read it /19

🧵#TeachableMoments: #Jasper & All That Smoke

Life comes at you pretty fast these days but when Alberta has a week like last week it's clear that if we don't stop & take stock it'll pass with the typical partisan food fights & nothing learned. That's not good enough /1 #yyc #abpoli

Court Cantrell does not complyDec 8, 2023

11yo, listening to "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas"

Her: Janice and Jen are boring. Barney and Ben have it right.

Me: Or maybe the adults singing it were typical adults of the 1950s, and it didn't occur to them that little girls might want to play with something other than dolls.

Her *thoughtfully*: Ohhhh. Yeah....*indignant* They didn't know what little girls' brains are like!

Pretty much.
