New year, and with a new book due in May (which you could definitely go preorder today!), I'm trying something new ... your regularly updated dose of climate optimism! Most every day until at least May, I will add to this thread. Enjoy! penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/668167/h…

Alberta and Canada put a billion in cash and in-kind into Quest in 2011. PMSH was prepared to force new facilities to adopt the technology in his first minority. Canada boasted of ccs plans to decarbonize the oil sands in 1994. Is it too much to ask for @donbraid to do the work?

@andrew_leach @calgaryherald Don works very hard at not understanding how the country works, that's how. It helps eliminate the cognitive dissonance when transcribing conservative talking points straight to his column

How can you write about politics for decades and have absolutely no idea how our country works? @calgaryherald, please correct this nonsense.

@BretzerTravis Very persuasive news article, thanks! Just gonna notify its author, @garwboy, who will be pleased you found his in-depth reporting for that article so convincing that you share it as proof of the hoax

I agree any talk of high-speed rail deserves a big dollop of skepticism, but this old news was a vague proposal for track upgrades. The current news is about a long-term contract to build. The only question is whether it’s “high-frequency rail” or true HSR

Oh Canada. The dying days of Liberal governments are the glory days of rail announcements: Today: cbc.ca/news/politics/… And 20 years ago: theglobeandmail.com/report-on-busi…

If you only tune in for baseball during the World Series and such, you might not know that one of the more entertaining things you can do is search "fire Boone" on this website any time the Yankees are struggling

What a welcome surprise! High-speed rail is easily the pinnacle of ground transportation we've achieved as a species. This would right a terrible wrong done to passenger rail by short-sighted governments in the 1980s and 90s (and would ACTUALLY do something about traffic woes)

The Trudeau government will announce plans for a high-speed train linking Quebec City and Toronto in the coming weeks, Radio-Canada has learned. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

This seems like a good night to note that there is no ghost runner in extras in the postseason, which is a tacit admission by @MLB that the rule cheapens the game
