Kenney said it’s only the “elderly, the immune-compromised and those with co-morbidities” being affected with a life threatening virus. Maybe those who were doing environmental reporting can get back to work now? How ‘bout it Kenney?
Toronto Star sold to private equity investors: What it means for Canadian media | Ricochet
At a time when polls show Canadians attitudes are shifting markedly
to the left on everything from the role of government in the economy to
wealth taxes and nationalizing old-age homes, this purchase seems likely
to push Canada’s mainstream media ecosystem further to the right.
The Conservatives can probably look forward to a clean sweep of
newspaper endorsements next election, even as those endorsements mean
less than ever before.
And the ideas that animate younger generations — a Green New Deal, a
wealth tax, a more caring and just society — will remain conspicuous by

Still Digging: G20 Governments Continue to Finance the Climate Crisis – Oil Change International
The report reveals that support for fossil fuels has not dropped since the Paris Agreement was made, with annual average support for coal from G20 countries increasing by $1.3 billion per year, and support for oil and gas staying steady at $64 billion a year, far from aligning their financing with what is necessary to limit warming to 1.5°C. Additionally, China, Japan, Canada, and South Korea were the largest providers of public finance to oil, gas, and coal with over two thirds of fossil fuel support from 2016 to 2018.
These
aren’t the kinds of records we want to hold. The science is clear. We
must cease all government support for fossil fuels if we are to limit
warming to 1.5°C and avoid the worst of the climate crisis.
