Prof. Julia Steinberger reports that for 3 full days the EU parliament hosted thousands of scientists, activists and policy-makers charting a future beyond growth, but says every single journalist there she spoke to said, "my editor refuses to print any story critical of economic growth." She is asking people to spread the word about this.https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1659429887751405569.html#degrowth #beyondgrowth

@gemelliz @Jgmeadows @Anne_Canada @NovaNaturalist Sadly, yes. Smith's win is a big boost for legitimizing Poilievre's unhinged rhetoric

@zazzoo Tommy Douglas supported the minority Lib gov in the creation of the Crown Corp PetroCanada, saying: "The people of Canada have paid billions of dollars to enlarge and enrich foreign oil companies, and only now, belatedly, are we setting up an economic vehicle to develop our petroleum resources for the benefit of Canadians."Conservatives like it better since it became privatized and a subsidiary of Suncor.

Really looking forward to all the follow-up editorials to the latest polls showing Poilievre's massive lead advising us not to worry about PP's extremism because his advisers will keep him in check. You know, the way they did with Trump. #cdnpoli #poll #poilievre

Only 8% of the world’s population actually lives in a full, functioning democracy, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU).Meanwhile, another 37% of people live in some type of “flawed democracy” like the US.The State of Democracy Around the Worldhttps://www.visualcapitalist.com/state-of-democracy-around-the-world-2023/

Today Canada abstained from supporting the UN vote on "Protection of civilians & upholding legal & humanitarian obligations" in Gaza.Usually Canada abstains due to "singling out of Israel" or use of the word "Palestine".Today the reason given by UN Ambassador Bob Rae was the resolution not mentioning Hamas.Shame.The vote carried 120 in favor, 14 against, and 45 abstentions

Pillaged from BlueSky:"20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it.The law only ever serves capital."
