High oil & gas prices as a result of the U.S. war with Iran do NOT make Canadian oil, gas & LNG projects more likely – but oil and gas companies will profit off price speculation at the expense of Canadians (via resulting inflation).

Canadian COVID Forecast Feb 28 - Mar 13, 2026

CANADA

HIGH [no change]

About 1 of every 99 people is infected.

Compared to lowest point of pandemic in Canada:

-Infections: 7.4 x higher
-Long COVID: 5.8 x higher
-Hospitalizations: 6.5 x higher
-Deaths: 6.3 x higher

Public Service Announcement: When the price of gasoline jumps this week, remember it was refined from oil (mostly Canadian) produced weeks ago, only 2% of which comes from the Middle East. It's a policy choice, not 'market forces', that explains why you'll pay more (and oil profits will soar). /2

Carney puts rules-based international order sign back in window

This 👇

To defend international law does not mean supporting the horrific Iranian regime, and to defend international law is not merely principled but an act of self-interest for Canada.

I wrote about just that earlier this year: justiceinconflict.org/2026/01/12/f...

On second thought, we’re going to put that sign back up in the window.

Once again, the Mayor boasts about how low our taxes are - we’re not even keeping up with the rate of inflation. But this ideological obsession long pre-dates Sutcliffe. It’s a point of pride in Ottawa, a city with almost the highest median household income in Ontario. 1/

Green Party leader discusses integrity of Canada’s democratic institutions

The @mark-carney.bsky.social gov’t is undermining democracy and the rule of law. Glad Elizabeth May is bringing attention to what’s happening.

It is outrageous that Minister Leblanc was informed Canadian propellants used in artillery were sent to Israel via the US, during the genocide – and he did nothing to stop it.
There is no Canadian arms embargo on Israel. The goods and technology keep flowing as Palestinians are massacred.

Gotta say, I don’t really understand why the best a minister of the ruling party in a sovereign country can muster is disappointment while he waits for the company to submit their proposals when he has the power to legislate

Oh, so sorry. I see from your bio that this happens a lot.

Feds' budget bill raises accountability concerns for both Ottawa and companies The Budget Implementation Act proposes changing how the federal government conducts agreements with provinces and grants ministers the ability to exempt corporations from Canadian laws provided it is ...

Rule of law is in the public interest. Allowing ministers to exempt individuals and companies from our laws undermines our democracy. Literally puts individual and corporate interests above the law. It’s authoritarian. What’s the point in electing MPs if this is allowed?

3/ All federal leaders must come together to condemn Smith’s politics of division and stand up for the human rights of people who are our neighbours, friends and a part of our communities.

2/ Immigrants aren't to blame for Alberta's crumbling healthcare system, overcrowded classrooms, and strained social services — Danielle Smith and the UCP are.

Alberta to hold referendum on ‘out-of-control’ immigration amid strain on social services, budget: Smith The Alberta government intends to hold a referendum on immigrants’ status, their access to social services and federal influence over provincial laws and services in October this year.

1/ Danielle Smith’s address was a chilling moment that recalls some of the ugliest anti-immigration chapters of our country’s history.

This is what demagogues do: pit the public against the most vulnerable and blame them for the very crises their austerity policies have created.

The McGill Office for Science and Society is such a fantastic source of info on everyday science topics, especially those plagued by misinfo and pseudoscience

“as with all far-right populists, Smith’s agenda is as much about sowing division and hate, and about her own inept failures and lack of vision, as it is about serious constitutional reform”

Also about using hate to hold and tighten grip on power.
