So our one question is…whose interests are we talking about here??
Not only does it come with a $43 billion price tag that WE might have to pay… this pipeline will lock Canada deeper into a dying fossil fuel industry and threaten the nature and ecosystems we love, and the climate we depend on.

1/ So it’s official. Faced with a choice between whales and oil, our Prime Minister chose oil. Faced with a choice between a safe climate and more fossil fuel expansion, he chose oil again.

It's the spooky month! There's plenty of menacing threats out there to be scared of... climate change, stupid wars, rising authoritarianism and tech oligarchs. This month, however, we celebrate the goofy spoops so that we have the energy and determination to fight real monsters.

In a recent article on NYT, Frank Bruni and Bret Stephens try to situate America's chaotic present in the arch of history, whether or not America is on the decline. They conclude that Americans are "wallowing in their [their] resentments" and Trump is all too glad to encourage this self-pity.

Keep the waterfront green and public!
I was born in a city which had a major airport by the waterfront (Kai Tak Airport, Hong Kong) and it was a headache for everyone. It's been demolished and replaced with a cultural/exhibition centre, much to the delight of the whole city.

Growing backlash has forced the federal government to push the consultation deadline from June 7 to July 22. Any new legislation will now be delayed until the fall.
