TL;DR: Carbon taxes in Canada, such as the federal $80/tonne emissions price, are often criticized for raising costs. But we find that emissions pricing increases domestic food costs modestly—about 0.8%—with imports shrinking the overall impact on food prices to about 0.5%.

Netanyahu, Gallant, and Deif have all launched indiscriminate attacks against civilians and caused unimaginable human suffering.
If the world does not uphold international law, we will descend into further barbarism.
I agree with the ICC.

Goldman Sachs considère radiés ses 900 millions $ US investis dans Northvolt, selon le Financial Times.
Québec y a mis 270 M$ et la Caisse de dépôt et placement 200 M$.
La confiance affichée par le gouvernement Legault en septembre était moins là jeudi

Note that those who reject the genocide reports never bother to refute them. Evidence is meaningless to them. It's considered sufficient to just say the word antisemitism.
What’s actually consistent is UN’s rank, pervasive antisemitism. I reject this report in its entirety.
I look forward to voting for @RepStefanik to continue a strong and unapologetic pro-Israel position.

Our reporter in Gaza just filed a dispatch describing how his family has resorted to eating pet food, cooking with bug infested flour and paying exorbitant prices for rotten vegetables (when they are even available).

Why would you expect America to buy that Trump's a dictator in the making when you don't act like you believe that's the case?

This clarifies that Bliden/Blinken/Sullivan/McGurk didn't support mass starvation of Palestinian civilians out of political necessity. Election is over & Biden has no political future. They did this because this is their preferred policy. They are the architects of these war crimes.
🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱Secretary of State Blinken has decided that there will be no change for now to military assistance to Israel following the deadline the U.S. gave Israel regarding the humanitarian situation in Gaza and that expires today, two U.S. officials said. The officials said Israel has taken important steps to address the U.S. concerns regarding the humanitarian situation in Gaza and stressed the U.S. wants to see more steps in the coming days

Animal welfare rarely enters national political discourse, but elections always have consequences for animals, and 2024 was no different — from the presidency to the local level: vox.com/2024-elections/38311…

regardless of the election’s results it’s obvious this country has gotten way more rightwing especially amongst men and i think a lot of that is what is fed to us online, we have to figure out a way to stop every dude under 35 from turning into crypto hitler

I can’t believe I’m saying this, as a guy who thinks picking up calls from random numbers should be against the law, but if you voted in Nevada, pick up your phone!

Our new paper shows that net-zero is far from the end goal as the climate continues to evolve for centuries. Getting to net-zero as quickly as possible limits the damage we are doing to the climate. esd.copernicus.org/articles/…

If Harris wins tomorrow night - or if Harris even appears *likely* to win key states - you will see @elonmusk and the MAGA crowd go full disinformation immediately. They will claim the election is being stolen. It will be coordinated and immediate.
Realize this is coming.

I don’t think people appreciate the extent to which Arab and Muslims Americans are going to be scapegoated in the event of a Trump victory by liberals who think the extermination of Palestinians is just a policy disagreement.

Ruwa has handled all this with such grace and is owed an immense debt of gratitude. Still should have let her speak at the DNC
Voted yesterday with our little voting crew. I know everyone wants to talk about the presidential. I get it. And I shared more thoughts here: rollingstone.com/politics/po… 1/

Rashida Tlaib is doing GOTV in Michigan. The Uncommitted movement are up on the air with anti-Trump ads.
These folks deserved so much better from the party. But in spite of it all, they know how much is at stake and they're throwing in to fight against the fascist movement.
DETROIT, MICHIGAN:
GOTV RALLY TONIGHT 🗳️
WITH THE ONE AND ONLY @RashidaTlaib 👑
AND THE GREAT @ShawnFainUAW 💪🏽
LET’S GO WIN THIS WHOLE DAMN BALLOT‼️
I’LL BE OPENING FOR LOS TIGRES DEL NORTE AFTERWARDS TOO 🎸

There are no "secondary streets" for Yonge St.
Mt. Pleasant and Avenue Rd. are the only other North/South roads.
Doug Ford simply wants bike lanes gone, despite the actual data, and study after study, showing the economic, health, environmental, and safety benefits of bike lanes.

It's telling that there's been no outrage, and no pressure whatsoever on Trump to disavow, this unbelievably racist statement from a speaker at his MSG rally - which wasn't a joke or delivered by a comedian.

Only 10 out of 120 Israeli parliament members voted against this new law to stop a UN agency from delivering aid to a starved, displaced population. There is no real organized opposition to Netanyahu’s genocidal policies.

One of my wife’s uncles whole family has been confirmed killed. Many, at least 50 of them are children, remain under the rubble.
It’s devastating to read that the israel forces have opened fire at the ambulances and civil defense vehicles that tried to come from Gaza City to the rescue of my wife’s bigger family.
