girls_can,

@virome_girl @academicchatter @academicsunite @academia_carnet haha. It was actually one of the ncfdd emails that triggered my post 😝. “Explosive productivity” is part of the problem.

girls_can,

@DrGeof @academicsunite @academicchatter but do you ever get the feeling that if we didn’t have email we could actually get so much more accomplished? Maybe we don’t need 150 emails OR meetings. Maybe we should just leave each other in peace!

, why post so much about the minister and the ?

development is a major driver of in and the Provincial Policy Statement (under the Planning Act) is the source of protection for Provincially Significant . The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing is the lead Ministry for the PPS as well as policy instruments like the Plan.

Housing matters to wetlands.

According to this handy website, still nope!

the and already passed their verdicts. What will the police find?

girls_can, to ontario

When will Minister resign? The was his mistake. If he didn’t know what his chief of staff was doing, he’s incompetent as the minister. But more, he’s only implemented 3/55 recommendations from the report. Hardly the record of success

Now it turns out land developers just planned to flip this properties in Ajax for $$$.

in wholly predictable events: we learn that one of the involved in the was planning to flip the land for quick profits all along. What? You mean they never planned to build 🙄.

Globally we produce A LOT of , but did you know the majority of fossil energy gets wasted? In the US alone, two-thirds of that energy is wasted as heat.

As Hannah Ritchie has pointed out, we don’t actually need to produce a low carbon equivalent of all of the coal, oil & gas we currently use.

That means we can decarbonize quickly by being less wasteful & more efficient.

girls_can,

@Sheril intensity targets have been a distraction tactic for decades. We need to leave the fuel in the ground.

BUT there were 15 recommendations in the and is rejecting the MOST important one- to reconsider the land swap properties.

Why don’t challenge these lies.

girls_can,

@f800gecko @gemelliz the best case scenario here - the most generous interpretation of the facts - is that they’re both incompetent and negligent on what they call the single biggest issue in the province and the only possible solution to the housing crisis. That’s pretty difficult to believe. It seems a lot more likely they “kept their hands clean” knowing it was a corrupt process and Clark’s chief of staff can’t be fired for it or he would reveal their collusion.

girls_can, to ontario

#Scandal in #Ontario. Surprising literally no one, @OntarioAuditor concludes that a high level #Ford staffer gave preferential treatment to certain developers in the #Greenbelt land grab. What IS shocking is that just 2 developers stand to gain $8.3 billion and own 92% of the land involved. These 2 pirates are robbing Ontarians of 1000 acres of #wetlands and #woodlands. #duffinsrougeagpreserve #onpoli

girls_can,

@Pinchy63 it is abominable what he’s gotten away with.

louie, to random

I really, deeply wish everyone would make some collective effort to unlearn the passive argumentative nature we all learned from Twitter.

Everyone always treated posts like invitations to debate or argue every point.

We deserve better than this. We don’t have to do that.

girls_can,

@louie let’s be curious and ask questions that aren’t rhetorical or about scoring “points” in an imaginary debate.

girls_can,

@louie exactly! Sincere questions are a great way to build community. We don’t need to always agree, but with a truly open mind we can better grasp other peoples’ perspective and have more compassion for each other.

girls_can, to wildlife

This sums up my #ecological despair #today. The #wildlife and pets and vulnerable folks with no access to #cleanair are in my thoughts. What are the long term consequences of this new #fire regime going to be? 😩 #wildfires #airquality
