“Destroying the critical habitats of at-risk species for infrastructure and fossil fuel projects is the approach the U.S. President is taking in the United States. It should not be Canada’s response to the trade war. Let's be better. Let's protect Canada's nature and at-risk species and their critical habitats.” https://www.equiterre.org/en/articles/epaulards-pipelines-campagne-canada #Canada #CDNPoli #BCPoli #ClimateCrisis #PolyCrisis #NoPipelines

How's this for the latest installment of our current #polycrisis?

"To become genuinely empowered, people can work in community to meet their essential needs — food, housing, healthcare, education, energy, technology and economic stability. This is not theory. It’s already happening. Across the globe, people are building systems from the ground up that meet human needs while resisting corporate and state overreach."

"Tell your MP: Canadians can’t afford another risky pipeline & tanker project" Despite promises that a new west coast pipeline would be funded by the private sector, Mark Carney & Danielle Smith want to spend tens of billions of taxpayer dollars on it, without letting Canadians have a say in the decision. Instead of spending that money on the actual challenges Canadians are facing -- housing, hospital wait times, grocery prices and clean drinking water on Indigenous reserves, to name a few -- our federal government is bailing out the oil industry again, even as Canada is dealing with floods, heat waves, wildfires and extreme weather. Mark Carney says Canada cannot afford to meet its climate targets. But what we really cannot afford is to spend tens of billions of taxpayer funds on a new pipeline project that will make the climate crisis even worse. https://www.wcel.org/blog/tell-your-mp-canadians-cant-afford-another-risky-pipeline-tanker-project #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #BCPoli #CostOfLivingCrisis #HousingCrisis #HealthCareCrisis #NoBailouts #Polycrisis

Economists are warning that a “super” El Niño weather cycle, combined with price shocks from the #IranWar, could cause a severe shock to global food prices lasting into 2028: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/jul/12/super-el-nino-severe-shock-global-food-prices-lasting-into-2028-economists-warn #Canada #CDNPoli #NoPipelines #ClimateCrisis #CostOfLivingCrisis #ClimateFlation #PolyCrisis #NoLNG

Humanity is committing suicide, tech bros aren't going to survive in their bunkers (b/c starving people will dig them out), but far, far in the future, aliens might find this planet. Or cockroaches will evolve intelligence. One of those. But if humans survive, the archive will be destroyed by some future inquisition, since it obviously was built by the devil and contains "witchcraft."

'When all else fails, “murdoching” is “simply continuing to assert something as true as if no one has ever shown it was false...Instead of it being a way to hold power to account, Murdoch saw it as a means of holding individuals to account”' #polycrisis #media #murdoch https://www.theguardian.com/media/2026/jul/01/andrew-dodd-matthew-ricketson-getting-murdoch-book-bullying-factory

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@atomicker/116840574152613174 Not just the US. Climate researchers have connected the deadliest type of disaster — #heatwaves — directly to specific fossil fuel companies & their products, including Shell, BP, ExxonMobil & Canadian companies like Suncor & Cenovus: https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/climate-change-heat-waves-carbon-majors-1.7629859 #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #ClimateBreakdown #Polycrisis #NoPipelines #ExtremeWeather #Paris #France

The real purpose of a system is what it does. And our system is not providing homes, food, medical care, or accurate education to people. It is doing something else.

And are such rules, to the extent they exist, appropriate for this new type of infrastructure?' #publicPolicy #ai #polycrisis #environment https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/commentary/article-hamilton-just-hit-pause-on-all-ai-data-centres-this-is-big/

Some *light* reading -- history and prophecy... I read #FrankWaters "#TheBookOfTheHopi" many years ago, but misplaced my old copy. Refreshing myself on #HopiProphecy and what it all means for the times we are living in. #EricCline's "#1177BC" has been a good read. I'm finding his chapter about a "perfect storm of calamities" to be relevant to the age we are living in now, especially with regard to #ClimateCrisis and #Polycrisis. Graeber/Wengrow's "#TheDawnOfEverything" has taken me a while to get through... So much to take in. Learning about power and systems of power and their origins. "The Occult Features of #Anarchism" by #EricaLagalisse also deals with systems of power -- and how #MutualAid is part of true autonomy (I agree). #Bookstodon #AmReading #ReadWithPride #BannedBooks #ToBeBanned? #ReadWhileItsStillLegal #BigBrother #Fascism #Authoritarianism #DavidGraeber #DavidWengrow

#ClimateDiary Short overview of my evolving consciousness 2000s: climate change, ecological destruction bad but can be tackled/ a while off/studying this is my contribution 2017-2021: it’s a #ClimateEmergency! We need to act NOW! #Activism 2022-25: it’s a #Polycrisis What will get us first - Climate breakdown? inequality? Fascism? AI dystopia? (Nuclear) war? 2026: Oh, it’s all at once, right now, this is it #CollapseDiary (and yes i know many of you will have been years ahead of me)
