Worse, in my jurisdiction (Ontario, Canada), the government has decided to rip up bike lanes... to "reduce congestion" i.e. to own the libs.

The federal government has announced a plan to build high-speed rail along the major population corridor. But they'll be soon replaced by idiots whose whole platform is "undo it all".

Azerbaijan’s president, Ilham Aliyev, told a climate conference in April: “Having oil and gas deposits is not our fault. It’s a gift from God.”

Modern bikes being less maintainable is largely on the extreme low-end like Walmart bikes, or extreme high end carbon-fiber nonsense designed for rich weekend warriors.

Best if you find a shop that deals in second-hand bikes and get a cheap one. A bike that has been maintained by such a shop is likely to continue being maintainable. Plus you may not know what kind of bike you like til you ride it for a while so don't spend too much for your first one.

Maybe EVs are not a comprehensive climate solution??

How dare they damage the frame of an artwork and make the curators have to wipe off soup from the protective plexiglas, while leaving the artwork entirely intact?

How dare they throw easily-removed biodegradable cornstarch-based paint onto Stonehenge? Don't these monsters know Stonehenge is made of such fragile stones?

Bruh how? You can get kilograms of dried beans for $10.

It's more expensive for canned beans but for $10 are you eating 5 cans of organic beans a day?

There's no way I'd use a grocery app. Paper and pen works well enough.

Now, if my phone had a slide-out physical keyboard like it did back in fucking 2007, I'd consider it. As it is, typing on phones is pain.

Under pressure from Nazis and tankies.

Can we also bulldoze the Nazi SS cemetery in Oakville and for good measure, flood it with piss?

Apparently the monument is gone "for repairs".

May 1st colour being red is a nice subtle touch.

The commute itself? Hard to say. But according to the article, a billionaire produces emissions equivalent to a million average people.

There are 3,311 billionaires.

Once they are eliminated, that's the emissions of 3.3 billion people taken care of.

Another huge hydro dam is being built in British Columbia, on Canada's west coast.

The article describes the coming destruction of farmland and wildlife habitat.

“We have to decarbonize our economy, but it can’t be on the back of flooding more river valleys.”

But as long as the economy grows, more sacrifice zones like this will be made. And if you don't like flooded river valleys, go take a look at tar sands pits or mountaintop removals.

Logging companies get to clearcut burned forests, including trees that survived the burn. Another way that capital can profit even from disaster. And the extractive state lays down the red carpet for capital to do it.

What Canada needs: yet another party jostling to get to the center as quickly as possible. Another party whose platform is the Overton Window. The most average party possible.
