Dead trees around the world are shocking scientists.

Knowable Magazine reports: "Forests once deemed resilient are suffering surprising die-offs. To predict the fate of the world’s woods in the face of climate change, researchers need to understand how trees die."

👏👏👏 “I think the most important thing that we can do right now is to try and connect the dots between the extreme weather that people are seeing and the fossil fuel industry that’s driving it,” says non-profit media organization Fossil Free Media

The role of this government is to let everything deteriorate enough that they can hand it over to corporate hands to "rescue" it.

The #Conservative model.

Witness the LTC system. Ontario is the highest percentage of private LTC in the country. And who sits on e.g. Chartwell's board?
Mike Harris.

C'est cool. Sans les nouvelles sur leur fil #Facebook, les gens vont voir...
· des mèmes écrits dans un français pitoyable;
· des pages 'spotted';
· de faux concours;
· de supposées aubaines pour des items dont il n'en reste apparement que 10 à 10$ quand ça vaut 1000$ dans les magasins;
· les cochonneries dont ta belle-sœur veut se débarrasser dans Marketplace;
· les 'jokes' de mononc' de... ton mononc';
· ...

Bref, ça s'améliore ce réseau-là. 🙄 Les édentés vont être contents.

Wants: Poem

I want to know what's happening
I want to help shape what's happening in a positive way
I want to play with threads and yarn and cloth in all the ways
I want to learn how everyday folk in all times and places lived their daily lives
I want to tell tales of magic folk and far away fantastic places
I want to read all the great stories
I want to know how we got here across the deep depths of time
I want to know how everything works
I want to grow roses

Too much to ask?

Canada's oil output would plummet by 2050 in a net-zero world, new modelling shows

global fossil fuel use will drop by 65 per cent from 2021 to 2050

That would prompt a collapse in global oil prices, to as low as US$35 per barrel by 2030 and US$24 per barrel by 2050, it says

The report concludes that as a result of these low prices, Canadian crude oil production would fall to 1.2 million barrels per day by 2050, 76 per cent below 2022 levels

Good CHRIST this is turning out to be exactly the slyly and wildly furious album I need right this moment

Depuis minuit le 1er janvier, les personnes qui ne sont pas des citoyens canadiens ou des résidents permanents ne peuvent plus acquérir de propriétés résidentielles non récréatives en territoire canadien, et ce, pour leur deux prochaines années.

Sage décision qui, espérons-le, aidera un peu à soulager la crise du logement. Est-ce que ça suffira? Évidemment pas. Mais c'est déjà un geste concret.

En pleine #CriseDuLogement, alors qu'on subit une explosion des hausses des loyers, la #CAQ décide de réduire à néant un des seul mécanismes de solidarité entre locataires, qui permet de limiter çà et là les hausses abusives lors de déménagements.

La ministre responsable de l'Habitation, France-Élaine Duranceau, a répondu aux critiques en disant «Est-ce que le locataire, c’est le propriétaire de l’immeuble? Non. Ce n’est pas au locataire de contrôler la hausse du loyer pour la personne suivante» (Source: https://www.24heures.ca/2023/06/09/projet-de-loi-31-la-fin-des-cessions-de-bail-au-quebec)

La CAQ c'est vraiment le gouvernement de la CORPIQ.

I came to Rome, and visited the Vatican, and climbed ~320 steps, and took many photos.

But my favourite is this cranky-looking seagull.

While discussing the invention of automobiles, Henry Ford was reported to have said "if we had asked people what they wanted, they would have answered faster horses."

Now would they say "more parking?"

What cities need now are fewer cars, less driving, more choices and better cities.
