It's wild that Norway is effectively at 100% *today* and Canada/Carney is trying to tell us 70% in 10 years is good enough.

It's a failure for affordability and climate.

It's a huge win for oil companies and American automakers.

@chu Unfortunately, he was the least-worst viable option. We need to get better people into political leadership.

I just need a "I told you so" moment for everyone who was rejoicing that making a banker Prime Minister was going to solve our problems.

He's a money man. You really thought that he would somehow be a different kind of money man?

@mkj I didn't see anything either. Perhaps @sundogplanets meant the disaster is the approval of 4000 more satellites today: https://www.engadget.com/science/space/a-potential-starlink-competitor-just-got-fcc-clearance-to-launch-4000-satellites-143905076.html

@sundogplanets Disaster in orbit?! <checks news>

@aud @Quenby It's a trap; no matter what we do …

It will never stop being funny to me that the whole "you can't trust Wikipedia because anyone can edit it" scare happened and now Wikipedia is the only trustworthy website because it turns out profit motive is the reason things turn to shit.

@robchapman You may be relieved to know I was wearing pants *and* trousers. 🤣

It’s time to end unchecked corporate welfare.

The current Liberal government is handing billions of dollars to profitable corporate giants in subsidies and tax breaks, with very few strings attached.

Our plan ensures every public dollar serves the public interest – rather than corporate profits.

"End Corporate Handouts and Break Up Monopolies" slide. Text: "End all fossil fuel subsidies. Keep costly consultants out of the public service. No more blank cheques for corporations that take our money and move production out of Canada."

WTL boosted:

Income inequality is at an all-time high in Canada.

Meanwhile, CEO pay keeps climbing. The top 1% richest families control almost a quarter of the country’s wealth. And the six biggest banks raked in $70 billion in profits last year alone.

It’s time to tilt the scales back towards the 99%.

"Tax the Ultra-Rich" slide. Text: "Implement a wealth tax on the top 1%, starting at 1% and rising to 3% on the largest fortunes, to generate as much as $40 billion a year. Create a new tax bracket for the top income earners. Treat capital gains the same as employment income. Tax wealth inheritance over $5 million."

@noelreports Hope this backfires as spectacularly as we'd expect it to.

Thursday #Workout:
11 minutes of yoga for runners.
20 minutes of kickboxing.
11.33 KM of #Running (-16°C, -22 windchill, 85% humidity, and 10 KM/H wind).

Passed 1000 #AppleFitness workouts in about two year or so. Kickboxing was fun and reminded me that I miss going to #KungFu.

Run was another solid Zone 2 run - the ratio between Z2 to Z1/3 seems to be going up. Another #IceBeard day, but also a pants day.

A big F you this morning to everyone who voted for the corrupt as hell Ontario government.

Our universities are no longer "publicly funded" but "publicly assisted".

Good job on all that winning.

#NeverVoteConservative

@stephanie @monstreline That election was one where I actually felt hopeful about the future of the city's core.

@monstreline @stephanie I somehow managed to walk all the way from home into the market just now and made it without being murdered. I did chat with two neighbours, though.
