Here I sit east of Adelaide driving to Dearness Home to give Paul his dinner. It’s 5 minutes from home but with construction it is at least 15 to 20 minutes. Well climate change be damned.

Humble opinion - @pfragiskatos should’ve been on that list today. He is a true class act and the party would’ve benefitted from him in their cabinet.
I’m wishing the very best to all colleagues appointed to cabinet today. Congratulations and I look forward to working with all of you. There is much to do for our communities and country. pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releas…
Millers and family at Adam and Marcy’s home. Michele roasted an amazing turkey and Adam cook a full prime rib roast. Wonderful Christmas as usual.
This really puts the Liberal plan for electric cars into perspective! – at London, Ontario
Even if we managed to open hundreds of thousands of mines to complete the #GreenEnery transition it would take 4,575,000,000,000 tonnes of copper, 940 million tonnes of nickel and 944 million tonnes of Lithium. That's never going to happen.
Congratulations to London councillors who aren’t “small minded.” @shawnwlewis @StevensonLDN @PeterCuddyW3 @jerrypribilw5 @ElizabethPeloza @JoshMorganLDN and the rest of the council who can see the exciting change that will happen at the Fork of the Thames.

No other country gets more revenue from a carbon tax than Canada does. Last year the Federal government collected an estimated $5.4 billion in Carbon tax.
The tax started at $20/tonne of CO2 in 2019.
Last year the tax was $50/tonne.
It increased to $65/tonne this past April.
It's set to increase by $15/tonne/year until 2023
2024 $80/tonne of CO2
2025 $95/tonne
2026 $110/tonne
2027 $125/tonne
2028 $140/tonne
2029 $155/tonne
2030 $170/tonne
By 2030 Canadians will be paying $170 per tonne of emission of an invisible, odorless, unreactive gas that is essential for life on this planet.
Remember the joke about "selling ice to Eskimos"? Well guess what folks?

Before the usual suspects come out howling that this is a symptom of the need for more affordable housing, notice the feature common in the pictures @artcgreen posts.
If it isn't a syringe, it is a glass pipe.
These aren't just folks who can't make ends meet.
They are addicts.
Even if rent was $50 per month, they wouldn't pay it. They would buy $50 more in drugs.
We do have an affordability crisis and it is harming many working folks.
We also have an addiction crisis though and it is a different animal.
Quit pretending addicts just needs homes. They need intervention and treatment.
Enablement just leads them to the grave.

New front in helping homeless begins as depots launch near encampments lfpress.com/news/local-news/… via @LFPress
I’m reasonably intelligent but still mystified by this. It’s a little more than a folding table and some chairs. Are they bringing in Port a potty’s? Or placing them at each encampment? If more people show up they’ll work to relocate them or have bylaw remove them. To where?
