Honestly I only went and looked for the report because of a post on Bluesky by Peter Julian.

That said, this post seems to have already gotten more reach than a ~~sitting~~ former MP's did on that platform, so you're right about the fediverse!

Regardless, I agree it should be much bigger news.

I'm still surprised, however, that someone who wrote a whole book about the responsibility market participants have to look beyond immediate personal gain (particularly in relation to climate) would be like, gimme an index fund that doesn't exclude oil & gas corporations

Yes! This is almost exactly my technique. I try to do the naming in a steady rhythm, around one per second, picturing the thing in my mind while mentally saying the word.

My hypothesis is that it syncs up both sides of my brain at a timing that is in the delta wave frequency, same as a deep sleep state

Yes, and apparently they include 35% tariffs across the board now. So the question remains, what did we get for dropping the DST?

[-] patatas@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 days ago

Yep. And everyone who defended dropping the DST can start with the mea culpas any time they want

[-] patatas@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Good thing we dropped the DST, huh

[-] patatas@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

A source for this claim would be great, because I haven't heard anyone from the government say this. Even Carney, when directly asked if Canada got anything in return for scrapping the DST, got tongue-tied and then deflected, saying it's 'part of a larger process'.

Not how you react if you're confident in your position, imo

Ah, I see, you're OK with it because you like the policy.

My original post didn't say it was concerning though, so I'm not sure why you responded as though it did.

Edit: also, you seem to be following me around different Lemmy communities with a 3-hour-old account. Any reason for that?

How would you frame the PM's post, out of curiosity?

[-] patatas@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Fair point. Here's the text that Carney wrote:

"The premiers are right on: Canada has what the world needs, and we need to get back into the business of exporting it to new markets. We’re building one united Canadian economy, and there’s more to come."

Here's the headline from the screenshot:

"Premiers Danielle Smith and Doug Ford agree to study new energy corridors, more trade."

And this is the text in the screenshot, below the picture of Premiers Smith and Ford at a press conference (the screenshot is from CTV news, btw):

"The premiers of Alberta and Ontario agreed Monday to a feasibility study of new pipelines and rail lines between provinces and pledged to increase interprovincial trade of"

(Screenshot cuts off at this point)

The Wonder Valley website is making emissions-related claims that O'Leary Ventures' CEO has openly admitted are false. Are they running afoul of Canada's greenwashing legislation?
