just leaving this here - in my mailbox yesterday

Bilingual campaign-style poster for Yasir Naqvi, MP for Ottawa Centre, with a sunset cityscape and the text “Canada’s new government is protecting our environment / Le nouveau gouvernement du Canada protège notre environnement.”

Went for an #ottrun today through 'Zibi' aka #ottcity 'greenest' development - the only shade was thrown by buildings...

Wide sidewalk and protected bike lane along a modern city street with restored brick buildings, moderate traffic, and a clear blue sky.

Wide concrete sidewalk along a newly developed urban street with young, leafless street trees planted in sidewalk cutouts.

this per Deutsche Bank:

Europe owns Greenland, it also owns a lot of Treasuries. We spent most of last year arguing that for all its military and economic strength, the US one key weakness: it relies on others to pay its bills via large external benefits. Europe, on the other hand, is America's largest lender: European countries own $8 trillion of US bonds and equities, almost twice as much as the rest wof the world combined. In an environment where the geoeconomic stability of the western alliance is being disrupted existentially, it is not clear why Europeans would be as willing to play this part.

This is how Ontario values the arts - lowest per capita investment in the country - no wonder #artists are living below the #poverty line in #ONpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/arti...

two graphs - one showing ontario arts council funding for the art per capita down from $5.90 in 1975/76 to $3.69 in 2025/26 and in the Quebec arts council up from $9.68 in 1975/76 to $22.08 in 2025/26
