So what is Quillette? A safe space for Jorp fanboys to circlejerk amongst themselves and pretend they're intellectuals? I've only started hearing about them recently and every single thing I've heard from or about them is just utter garbage.

It's alt-right medium.com, except anyone can post anything they want on medium.com and Quillette is theoretically a magazine with an editor who nods and approves all the alt-right content.

He mentions something that Helsing has mentioned in the past in so much as that rank and file union members are not always with the leadership when it is left wing and it constrains the NDP's politics. Not saying Cullen is a great by any means but this is a pretty interesting look into his thought pattern.

Imagine making a list of unjustly banned Conservatives and then making sure to type up and include Tila loving Tequila. I do believe that in this author we have found the rare instance of somebody having even worse brain damage than Tila Tequila.

In fact his inclusion is way worse because it implied he actively sought her out as an example of a Conservative voice that needs to be heard. Tila "There are only two things in this world, for which I would gladly sacrifice my own life; the destruction of all Jews and preservation of the white race" Tequila.

I got a call from the idiot replacing Nazi sympathizer Alex Nuttall today that just automatically went to a prerecorded message wishing me a happy Canada day oh and please visit his website which totally isnt his campaign website. I picked up halfway through the message to yell "pick up you coward" before hanging up so I dont know what else was there but I know theres 2 other people here that live in my riding so be warned, its starting already.

A massive re-insurance corporation just announced they're walking away from the tar-sands and anything tar-sands related out of environmental liability concerns, that's huge and may trickle down through the entire insurance industry. I've often thought the biggest driver for saving the drat earth from within our capitalist hell framework could be the insurance industry. They directly profit or suffer from long term disaster risks and liabilities. If the government guides them in the direction that oil companies might actually be on the hook in the future for damage from climate change, that's going to result in massive increases to premiums or companies not even wanting to touch the industry.

That's pretty massive. I worked with a rep from DNV GL briefly this winter and they really control the purse strings of the entire renewables industry. Nobody is building or operating high-liability multi-billion dollar infrastructure like this without these backers.

It's already going to the Supreme Court as a result of the Saskatchewan case, but the Ontario Court of Appeal released its decision on the carbon tax today, holding 4-1 that it's constitutional: http://www.ontariocourts.ca/decisions/2019/2019ONCA0544.htm The analysis is slightly different than the SKCA case, but the end result is basically the same - the federal government has the jurisdiction to establish minimum standards for GHG pricing.

Aces High posted:Wait I thought every province that went against the feds were being told "lol, gently caress you, you're implementing a carbon tax" did something different happen with Saskatchewan? Saskatchewan challenged the federal carbon tax, and the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal found it to be constitutional back in early May. The Saskatchewan case is already being appealed to the Supreme Court, which makes the Ontario case somewhat moot.

Leaked internal report says Ford government botched new autism program and misled public about the waiting list quote:An internal review of changes to Ontario’s autism program calls for an immediate reset, saying the government purposely spread misinformation about the costs and the backlog for treatment to justify a funding model that would leave families “destitute.”

https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/airbnb-other-home-sharing-remove-1000-homes-from-rental-market-study-says So in local news an article was done about how Airbnb is strangling the rental market in Ottawa and Canada. One of the people interviewed for the article was my former landlord, Mr Vasdi, and he complains about how horrible his experience was renting to people rather than turning his house into an Airbnb. I'm wondering if I should contact the Citizen to tell them about how he gave me and the other tenants three weeks notice that he was turning the property into an Airbnb and that if we didn't like it we could give our notice and vacate the premises. Or the long, long list of other grievances the other tenants had with his passive aggressive harassment of us during our time there. And all of it is in long email chains.

Kim Stanley Robinson has a novel that features re-insurers as major players against climate change. They take a lot more direct action than just disinvesting, though. I think it was something like trying to increase the albedo of the Arctic, or resalting the North Atlantic? Maybe both. Robinson loves megaprojects in his books.
