Omg, we're such a joke and a menace. Well deserved :face_melting: --- Canada received Tuesday’s Fossil of the Day award at the COP30 climate summit in Belém, Brazil. The award, bestowed by Climate Action Network International, recognizes the country deemed to have done the most each day to slow down global progress in response to climate change. CAN International chose Canada “with a heavy heart,” the network said in a release, “because the new government of Prime Minister Mark Carney has flushed years of climate policies down the drain, and is completely ‘Missing In Action’ at a COP where multilateralism needs to be saved. In addition to the backsliding on policies tackling Canada’s climate-destroying pollution, his Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin has chosen inaction and silence where leadership was urgently needed.” On the domestic front, the release adds, the Carney government has “systematically dismantled a decade of progress” in climate policy. #cdnpoli
"Your expertise is sincerely appreciated" ... We never get told things like that. Feels so good to hear, especially with AI being used all the time in translation :face_holding_back_tears:
I always get worried when I move the feeders to the back porch in the winter (I wouldn't be able to access them in the middle of the winter to refill them!). What if the birds don't feel safe anymore?? Well, the five goldfinches, the downy woodpecker and the juncos are already proving me wrong this morning! So much singing to be heard from the mudroom 💜 #birding
HAHAHA come on --- Canadian military will rely on an army of public servants to boost its ranks by 300,000 Federal public servants would be trained to shoot guns, drive trucks and fly drones, according to a defence department directive. Federal and provincial employees would be given a one-week training course in how to handle firearms, drive trucks and fly drones. Medical coverage would be provided for their annual military service, but that time would not count towards their pensions (!!!!!!!), the directive pointed out. #cdnpoli https://archive.ph/zqcZH
We just had a meeting and my manager put the transcription on. But with English translation (I think??) by accident. Some exemples of the result: "Fecalergus calcit therapy El Porizai vid absence, so totally detaches Arif prucivac uzubiello." "Jesse de Beer report new new product" "I stuck on the pillow" ... an hour of that 🤣
Woo NYC!!!
We will never get a deal out of the US. I think people forget what Trump said in January. There has never been a deal to be made. He's always been incredibly clear about it. --- "A reporter then asked Trump whether he is "considering military force to annex and acquire Canada." "No," replied Trump. "Economic force." --- "Canada and the United States, that would really be something," Trump said. "You get rid of that artificially drawn line, and you take a look at what that looks like, and it would also be much better for national security."
