“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.” Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris
They just had a segment on weighted vests for exercising. America is cooked.

Sweet, thanks!
Totally unrelated, but why don't any of the rankings out there like Maikel Garcia? Underlying numbers seem pretty good... And would you trade Austin Riley for him in a 16-team keeper league (currently have the ghost of Angel Martinez manning second base)? Hope I'm not intruding on your mentions lol

An unforgettable day. I’m honoured to be sworn in as the MLA for Edmonton-Strathcona alongside Gurtej Singh Brar, the new MLA for Edmonton-Ellerslie! Thank you for your trust. Let's keep up the good work! #BetterTogether
"Coveo Solutions, which is enhancing AI tools to improve product discovery and recommendation for online retailers." Sooooo, search engine optimization? Jfc
Stop calling them "ICE" and stop calling what they're doing "immigration enforcement." They are secret police, plain and simple. These fascist thugs should be doxxed and shamed in every community that they live. And they'll be sent to every blue-leaning polling station in '26 and '28.
So here is the actual question from the poll: "Would you support, somewhat support, somewhat oppose or oppose a total ban on the use of gasoline- powered cars and SUVs as of 2035?" So Nanos is asking a question about a policy absolutely no one is proposing. Pure click-bait bullshit. Shameful.
What, exactly, was the question asked? Because the abbreviated version in this post is highly misleading.
Just the dumbest mofos alive. www.cbc.ca/news/world/c...

Replacing aging heating and cooling units with heat pumps is one on-ramp to a retrofit – but it’s not a deep retrofit on its own. To reduce a building’s energy use, we need coordinated upgrades that consider adequate insulation, airtightness, and more.
On June 23rd, we can choose better for our province. I'm proud to run as your Alberta NDP candidate to fight for the strong, competent, and ethical leadership that we deserve. Together, let's build a province where #BetterIsPossible. For Edmonton-Strathcona. For Alberta. For all of us.

Judge Session: I see no evidence of risk or danger of any kind. The court orders ICE to release Rümeysa Öztürk from custody IMMEDIATELY. She is free to return to her home in Massachusetts. Also free to travel within Mass and VT. I'm not going to restrict her travel, because I see no danger of flight

The fight we face is with President Trump, not Ottawa, and certainly not each other. Danielle Smith is dividing our country and picking fights in a moment that calls for national unity. Watch my response to the Premier's address: youtu.be/d4e8Xu5xtqU
🔌💰 Despite a push for Level 2 charging, slower, Level 1 'trickle-charging' out of a regular household outlet can be plenty enough for the average driver as long as they "have a place to park and charge overnight," says @cityofvancouver.bsky.social and experts. #EV #energytransition #affordability
Home Base Yellowknife takes over Street Outreach Yellowknife's Street Outreach program has a new operator, new phone number and now serves both youth and adults, among other changes.
"If you or any other Canadians are not happy living on Treaty lands, they are free to apply for citizenship elsewhere." Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation issues a scathing rebuke of Danielle Smith's talks on a national unity crisis.

I for one am pleased that we've finally broken the prime ministerial glass ceiling for Marks.
Any NWT folks have local results?

Yellowknifer part of team behind new election app Who knew learning about the electoral system could be so fun? A new app based on a board game is encouraging young Canadians to be politically engaged.
You know things are getting desperate when Conservatives have to target the old white golfer demographic.
My Earth Day began in frustration when the top local headline is that the GNWT is suddenly handing back all the carbon tax money the diamond mines paid into the Large Emitters Fund, that was supposed to be used for emissions reduction and renewable energy projects in our highest-emitting sector. 1/4
Some David Ortiz stats. -In his 1st 5 seasons with the Sox he averaged 41 HR’s and 128 RBI’s. -His 485 HR’s, 1569 RBI’ and 2192 hits as a DH are MLB records. -He had 10 seasons each with 30 HR’s and 100 RBI’s. -He hit .300 or better 7 times. -He had 11 career walk-off HR’s + 2 in the playoffs.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

The GNWT has directed the Public Utilities Board to make several regulatory improvements to the territory's electricity system, including increasing the community renewable energy cap from 20% to 30% & the creation of a standardized Independent Power Producer program. #energysky
Pop quiz - Is this: A) AI-generated image B) A SNL skit C) Actual ‘reporters’ in a White House press briefing
CANADIAN REPORTER: Trump's tone on Canada has shifted. He stopped talking about Canada becoming the 51st state. LEAVITT: I would reject that the president's position on Canada has shifted. Perhaps he just hasn't been asked about it. He believes Canadians would benefit from becoming the 51st state.
Conservative strategist: You need to pivot before it’s too late. CPC: Let’s bring back the creepy guy nobody liked two elections ago, but cringier.
Wow. Poilievre is parroting Trump’s threat to deport pro-Palestinian protesters. He really is the gift that keeps on giving to the Liberals.
Not to mention the whole, “… then they came for the trade unionists…” thing.
And once again, lying through his teeth: the first economic action plan in response to the 2008 financial crisis was the result of opposition pressure, with the very real threat of toppling the Conservative minority hanging over their heads.
The House of Commons needs New Democrats. Canada needs the NDP. The party has a number of strong incumbents. Let’s return them to Ottawa to stand up for health care, child care, workers’ rights and the environment.
Pretty sure I've watched the "Don't let us win tonight" sequence in Four Days in October about one bajillion times.

I keep thinking about this scene from January 2021 and wondering why Americans aren't doing the same thing to all of the fascists now betraying the US Constitution and running the American government and economy into the ground.

Greenland is not a failing business ripe to be scooped up by any vulture capitalists who happen by. It doesn't have a price tag; it's not a revenue-generation machine. Out of all the awfulness of the past two months, seeing framings like this from other journalists is among the most heartbreaking.
Electing judges is weird.
California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas): "there are currently more kids with measles in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the NCAA. That's the epidemic we should all be worried about."
Is CP registered as a third party with EC?
I thought Poilievre was supposed to be this canny campaigner and politician, but he’s genuinely terrible on the stump. And every time an ad airs with this logo, it just reeks of presumptuous arrogance.
🙌 Thank you, sir.
Cabin Radio election debate set for April 10, Conservative backs out Cabin Radio will air a 90-minute live debate between NWT federal election candidates on Thursday, April 10. Three out of four candidates say they'll appear.
This week, my Somerville constituent Rümeysa Öztürk was abducted in broad daylight by DHS officials and sent to Louisiana to be locked in a detention center. She has not been charged with any crime.

Elon Musk has committed a blatant felony by offering money for votes in order to help Brad Schimel. This is a chainsaw attack on democracy and the rule of law. Musk should be brought to justice immediately. 🧵

As a former journalist and Green Party co-leader, I know accountability starts with answering tough questions. Democracy thrives on transparency, not silence. Anyone who wants to lead should start by facing the press. PS: Applies to you too, Pierre Poilièvre. x.com/Bratt_world/...

Can the riding of Brooks-Medicine Hat recall Premier Smith? It will cost $500. Will need to collect 40% of the riding with in person signatures. Of 35000 eligible voters, only 13000 (or so) voted for Smith. Someone from the riding has to initiate. #ableg #cdnpoli www.elections.ab.ca/recall-initi...
Hells yes, JB

"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."
fuck norms there should be rules for people in power and when they break them they should pay with their freedom, their fortune or their lives 100% of the time
