School-based weather station network: End of an era or start a refresh? - Andrew Weaver: A Climate for Hope It's been more than twenty years since I installed the first school-based weather station at Strawberry Vale Elementary on March 11, 2005. Now, the project is at a critical juncture. Do I shut it down, or do I try to reinvigorate it? Decision day is September 30, 2025.

I’ve been investigating Paramount’s deal with Trump. Here’s what we know:

- Trump sued CBS
- CBS called the lawsuit “meritless”
- Paramount (owner of CBS) still settled, handing $16 MILLION+ to Trump’s library
- Paramount has a billion-dollar deal that needs Trump’s approval

Should the @liberalca.bsky.social and @mark-carney.bsky.social who are talking about “decarbonized oil” be charged under Canada’s new anti-greenwashing law (Bill C-59) that they recently bought in? Decarbonized oil? Do you mean hydrogen? #cdnpoli #bcpoli @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social

As a long time federal Lib & supporter of their climate plan, I'm disgusted by what I'm seeing in Ottawa. Talks re: dredging Burrard Inlet so Aframax tankers can export dilbit r shocking. Strong Liberal advocates 4 BC have been sidelined. We're left with no names to represent our interests #cdnpoli

I am struggling to see the difference between the Carney Liberals and the Harper Conservatives at this stage. It's early days, but I'm already musing that we might have been better off with a Conservative minority since at least we know where they stand on important issues. 1/2

Jonathan Wilkinson, one of Canada’s most effective ministers, not being in cabinet is shocking. It’s telling that Carney demoted the architect of Canada’s climate plan (representing Burnaby & North Shore) as they proclaim plans to dredge Burrard Inlet for Aframax tankers with BC NDP support #cdnpoli

Eby just set a huge trap for the @bcgreens. It’s politics at its worst. If the greens vote for Bill 7 - “the NDP’s authoritarian regime act” they betray all BC. If they vote against it, Eby will say non confidence & call an election. Eby wants a majority. He may not get what he wants #bcpoli

NDP power-grab law is the most far-reaching since the War Measures Act Vaughn Palmer: Proposed law would give unprecedented power to Premier David Eby in the name of fighting Trump tariffs

This is a disturbingly obvious attempt to win a majority government. Let’s see if any NDP MLA has the courage to vote against this. The Greens could force the Speaker to cast the deciding vote. The federal NDP will now lose a ton of seats now in BC #cdnpoli #bcpoli 🍿

I rarely use Facebook but I found it rather unusual to see this sponsored ad appear in my feed. With Trump making America weak again, the DJIA likely heading for a major market correction after completing a double-top pattern Americans worldwide seem to want out. Putin is smiling!

And so, today, the classic double top pattern was hit on the NYSE today. The obviously fiscally incompetent US president has just triggered a major market correction. He is making America Weak Again.

MLA booted from BC Conservatives over residential school comments, 2 more quit | Globalnews.ca BC Conservative Leader John Rustad said MLA Dallas Brodie was expelled for her "decision to publicly mock and belittle testimony from former residential school students."

Pretty rich for these folk to think that they got elected because of their views.

BC really needs a centrist option. It would nice to see a real BC LIBERAL party: fiscally responsible, socially progressive and environmentally conscious. #bcpoli

This is what you get when you put conspiracy theorists, oligarchs and narcissistic sociopaths in positions of power!

So many Americans voted against their own interest. And this was to be expected!

To my US friends. We look to you for leadership. Canada has always played a more diplomatic role. But now the US is an international pariah. Your leadership is utterly chaotic & playing into the hands of Putin & various oligarchs. Trump is making America weak again. What is wrong with you? #cdnpoli
