Yesterday was Canada’s #OvershootDay, the date when Earth’s yearly resources would be used up if everyone lived like Canadians.
Our energy use is nearly 3x the global average, and we generate some of the highest waste per person in the world.
Overshoot Day is one date; what we do next matters.
First new skis I’ve bought since the ’80s. Last time I bought a pair was used at Play It Again in Ottawa (the day the convoy rolled in). This time it’s Ferreol Explo 86s 🇨🇦 from Québec (avec 🇫🇷 Look Pivots), built for the icy Eastern hills we ski here: sologi.co/4rgu8Xu
Half of the US hates the other. Hard to solve any big American problem until they solve that one.
Great to see 🇨🇦 on the right end of this list.
Watch every new social platform, in need of our attention for ads, discover the two critical success factors for social media profits:
1. Friction between users
2. Users need to organize themselves into groups or "tribes".
Which of these are good for society?

"This is not a political statement. It is about protecting the future of winter sport itself."
Olympic athletes speak out on why fossil fuel companies should NOT be sponsoring winter sports: https://loom.ly/qM30HZA
What is the penalty to @saintjohn.ca if they don't do their snow clearing part?
Canadians have been AI bots this whole time. 😂
Trying to get signatures to separate Alberta from Canada
In Arizona
Couldn't be more "American Psyop" if you tried lol
If we continue to follow USA lead on health, they're starting trials on this next week...

A reason to go to Tim Hortons! Because I'd never go there for the "coffee"
I don't know what NB Health Link is and the information on their website doesn't get me any closer. I can open Maple and initiate care immediately, easily, and that's what I'm talking about when I say usability. A service that people can't or don't want to use is no service.
Losing Maple in NB is a big shift. I’m optimistic a new app tied into 811 can work if usability comes first. For those of us years without a family doctor, virtual care has been our only doorway into the system. That door can’t get smaller. #nbpoli #nbhealth

Wouldn't this be a dream come true: having fossil fuel companies & executives pay for climate damage since they've known all along fossil fuels are the cause; & having a #GlobalWealthTax on the obscenely rich, who couldn't spend all their money if they tried? www.theguardian.com/environment/...
"Instead of Canada becoming the 51st state of America and lose their health care … I'd like to see all of us become Canadians..."

A positive sign for our Fredericton friends. Every Canadian community needs a good swimming facility. The L.B. pool was decades too old when I showed up there in the early 90s and the antiqueness of the pool I was going to train in was a big novelty. Build a pool already, Freddy Beach!
The Burchill wind farm is doing the heavy lifting in today’s deep freeze and snowstorm, producing nearly 42 MW of renewable power for Saint John homes and businesses.

"We are fundamentally grateful for the extraordinary contributions of the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces in a variety of theatres, including Afghanistan. We were the FIRST..." 🇨🇦
No podcasts to listen to today. 100% of what I subscribe to is captured by the meltdown in the Divided States.
This show sucks now. Such a sad show.
"Western Europeans are shocked because they don't understand what Trump is doing. Eastern Europeans are scared because we do."
Now is the time to fight for our values.
Direct response to Trump yesterday.
"He wasn’t so grateful. But they should be grateful to us, Canada, Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, next time you make your statements.” 2/2
Translation: "Nice country. Shame if anything happened to it."
Trump's response today: "Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way. They should be grateful, also, but they’re not. I watched your Prime Minister yesterday... 1/2
Trump demands Carney give him his standing ovation from Davos
This sounds like a smart pivot: sologi.co/4bFlU7a
Keep the plants. Shift them into high‑tech defence so workers stay put and 🇨🇦 builds the defence kit middle powers actually need.
More 🇨🇳 EVs here will ease 🚗 prices and give us room to build defence exports. #cdnpoli
