Ontario’s Greenbelt is safe for now, but will the scandal alter Doug Ford’s course? https://theconversation.com/ontarios-greenbelt-is-safe-for-now-but-will-the-scandal-alter-doug-fords-course-214178"Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s extraordinary reversal on his decision to open the Greater Toronto Area’s Greenbelt for housing development flows from two colossal political miscalculations.The 1st was failing to recognize the Greenbelt, established by the previous Liberal government in 2005, had acquired an iconic status in the minds of residents of the region."#DougFord #Greenbelt

How #OilCompanies put the responsibility for #ClimateChange on consumers.https://theconversation.com/how-oil-companies-put-the-responsibility-for-climate-change-on-consumers-214132"The political response to the climate crisis remains largely inadequate in the face of heat waves, hurricanes, floods & forest fires that are accelerating & intensifying.The political inertia can be explained, among other things, by the stranglehold of #FossilFuel interests on political decision-makers, & the strong influence polluting industries have on the spheres of power in North America.

@IPEdmonton Interesting. Anger eventually saved my life as I decided to fight back! Different way to deal with the vagaries of life. 🙂​

@wauz @IPEdmonton HUH!I am different, very different and have been told so many times - including family, teachers and bosses and friends. And - it depends on how you channel the anger. I used it to: "Do It My Way" and screw the criticism unless it was warranted. i.e. Maybe anger does not have to be blind, eh! 🙂​

@wauz If the government and its agencies shade the truth often enough and maybe even mix in a "real" lie 😆​ then pretty soon the government will be seen as being a liar. Game over for the government especially if in the next election the out of power, want to be government promises not to lie. The top of the house has broken trust and now when it matters - there is not trust and you get the Covid "disaster". I have 3 maybe 4 Covid shots. So far no Covid but?????
