It set out the plans amid growing scrutiny of the sustainability credentials of its Canadian supply chain after claims it was using wood sourced from some of British Columbia’s most environmentally important forests.

The Guardian revealed late last year that forestry experts believe Drax may have continued to burn 250-year-old trees sourced from some of Canada’s oldest forests as recently as last summer despite increasing concerns over its historical sustainability claims, which first emerged in 2022.

lol

The visor on Pixels works for me. I’ve got a P8Pro that’s going strong. It lies flat, without a wobble.

We need something like 3.5 million homes to get back to pre-2019 prices. They’re gonna have to step up. I haven’t heard a plan from Carney and Co to make that happen.

It’s absolute bullshit. I’m not surprised, given Carney’s background. But I am disappointed.

Don’t worry! The new Build Canada Homes has 7,000 homes planned for this year, so it’s under control. /s

Recursive?

But what if I want to buy a painting?

The problem is that this strategy works, as evidenced by the fact that the supposedly environmentally conscious Trudeau government used $35.6 billion in public money to pay for TMX. Carney’s alleged environmental credentials were also easily pushed aside after Big Oil’s sustained anti-emissions-cap PR campaign. Ebel’s comments suggest we’re now facing yet another PR campaign for a West Coast pipeline being built with public money, even though experts have already determined it is highly unlikely Canada will ever recoup the public money spent on TMX.

Canada’s oil industry might not be great at building pipelines, but it has become expert at creating scapegoats for its failures and PR nightmares for even modest proposals to pay for its own pollution.

I understand not giving harassers a platform, but I’m really curious what kind of fucked up threats these poor people are getting. Is this some kind of Infowars crap?

It’d be nice if police (or journalists) gave just a bit more information.

Maybe it’s naive, but I’m less worried and trade deals with New Zealand or Denmark. I haven’t heard of those countries harassing ex-pats, opening secret police stations, or committing industrial espionage. But maybe I’m just reading the wrong news stories.

People have interests.

I’m constantly spamming housing related stories. I care about the price of housing. It looks like Scotty cares about Canada/China relations.

If Scotty posts stuff you don’t like, block them and move on.

More details on the funding for GardaWorld would be cool.

lol

I don’t know how his constituents will feel about this, but I shed no tears for his caucus.

Pretty much this. We have strong beliefs. Strong enough to leave a popular, functional platform for ideological reasons.

I think you’re right about the Liberal thing. It seems like the Conservatives have morphed into a regional party tied to Albertan and rural identity.

If funded by the federal or New Brunswick governments, maybe. Happily, I don’t think either entity has a hand in this.

Vocally. They state that they see what Quebec has gotten by threatening independence and they want the same.

It’s safe to argue that what they’ve gotten was mostly due to agreements signed before Canada was created, but that isn’t how the Albertan separatists see it.

I think they are harkening back to a golden age where they felt like their rights weren’t being trampled by Ottawa. I’m not sure that time ever existed, and I’m not sure that their rights are being trampled, but that’s not the point.

Similarly, they seem like the kind of people who believe they’re mavericks in a world of sheeple, so it could also be saying “don’t let yourself be sheeplified”.

I just listened to the episode. It’s really interesting to hear how they’ve defended themselves over the decades by attacking reformers.

YouTube is popular because it gives creators a way to get paid. So a new service would need to offer some of that.
