A real lively chat this week on the @craigneedles.bsky.social Friday Round Table with Nathan Caranci. We definitely all agree that rats in homes or on the streets is a bad thing. #ldnont www.podbean.com/ew/pb-cz2j4-...
Anyone else in #ldnont feel their morning completely thrown off when @browncbc.bsky.social and the rest of the CBC London Morning crew are not on the radio? Nothing compares to local content.
Next up... lead permitted in gasoline again. www.bbc.com/news/article... #ClimateChange #AirPollution #PublicHealth
Shocked & devastated by the news from BC. My heart goes out to the parents of the deceased & injured teens. It also goes out to all the kids, who will be forever impacted by such a tragic event. The trauma in Tumbler Ridge is unimaginable. Just want to hold my own teens closer today. #TumblerRidge 💔
My latest on Existential Politics and climate change in @noemamag.com. Climate policy should focus on dollars, not tons of emissions!
An old story but needs revisiting. A Canadian-based company should have no part in this deal. ICE is committing atrocities against children, seniors, citizens, asylum seekers, human beings. #ICE #Minneapolis #https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ice-ordering-vehicles-brampton-roshel-9.7001107
"Whether or not American concerns are justified, there is a feeling in Ottawa that we have to satisfy [them]. No one takes the 51st state issue seriously, but what we do take seriously are the economic pressures that the US is able to impose." - Michael Byers #ArcticSecurity bbc.com/news/article...
And with that President Trump proves that Prime Minister Carney was absolutely correct in his assessments and criticisms that he shared in Davos. #tariffs #cdnpoli #CarneySpeech bbc.com/news/article...
2026 & back talking about the BRT. But, more importantly, as we come into a deadly stretch of cold weather, & those experiencing homelessness keeps rising, we must remember if the Ford govt doubled #ODSP it would go a long way to tackle many problems. #ldnont #onpoli www.podbean.com/ew/pb-jnjcn-...
"Trump wants subjects, but he’s getting rivals, and the American people will pay the price." - David French

"We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition...We [Canada] know that the old order is not coming back. We shouldn't mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy." - Mark Carney

Stellar interview yesterday with Greenland Minister of Mineral Resources Minister Naaja Nathanielsen regarding the current situation for Greenland. Today's trilateral meeting could be defining moment. #Greenland #ArcticGovernance #GreatPowerPolitics #InternationalLaw www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTDF...

Cover of the book: "Unfrozen: The Fight for the Future of the Arctic" by Mia Bennett and Klaus Dodds.
Just finished "Unfrozen: The Fight for the Future of the Arctic" by Mia Bennett and @klausdodds.bsky.social. Highly recommend for those interested in the Arctic's past, present & future. Amazingly detailed, with the added depth of personal experiences. #ArcticGovernance #Geopolitics #ClimateChange
"The 'America First' ideology implies that the US does not want allies. The law of the jungle is to prevail. [... These changes] now hit the global community like a cold shower, and especially those nations that have regarded themselves as American allies." www.arctictoday.com/trump-forces...
Another blow to multilaterialism, international law and meaningful climate action. The rest of the global community must pull together to uphold key commitments, values and mutually beneficial cooperation. #climatechange #climateaction #internationallaw www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
With this new development, I can't finish my doctorate soon enough. Canada, I suspect, will be watching how this situation unfolds very closely. #Arctic #Greenland #Security #Diplomacy www.bbc.com/news/article...
Congratulations on the new book. I really look forward to reading it.
Truly embarrassing for Canada. #Measles #MeaslesOutbreak #Vaccines www.bbc.com/news/article...

My first and greatest hero. I read her autobiography when I was 8 and wanted to be just like her. A truly amazing person, a tireless advocate, who will be missed greatly. #JaneGoodall www.bbc.com/news/live/c9...
Doug Ford like to talk tough on crime, except when it comes to lawbreaking motorists who illegally increase the risk of your kid being killed by a car.
Finished two great books this week. I know I'm a bit late with both of these but if you haven't already read them, "There There" by Tommy Orange and "Memorial Drive" by Natasha Trethewey are excellent reads. Highly recommend. #CanadaReads
The Pentagon said on Friday that it would require journalists to pledge not to gather or use any information that had not been formally authorized for release or risk losing their credentials to cover the military.
Pleasure to join the discussion with @kellyelliottmcm.bsky.social and Mojdeh Azad on the @craigneedles.bsky.social Friday Roundtable podcast. We have a lot of work to do to combat the rising misogyny in our communities. The first step is acknowledging it. #ldnont www.podbean.com/ew/pb-ua84j-...
Great news for the ocean. With the 60th ratification the BBNJ Agreement will come into force in January 2026. Hard-Fought Treaty to Protect Ocean Life Clears a Final Hurdle www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/c... #BBNJA #marineconservation #biodiversityconservation
Two headlines from the New York Times webpage. The top says, "It Isn't Just America. The Whole World Has Soured on Climate Politics." The bottom headline says, "Climate Change's Toll in Europe This Summer: Thousands of Extra Deaths."
Quite the headline juxtaposition on the NYT homepage this morning.
