How hot was Calgary's neighborhood in 2025? ️️I processed satellite data from last summer to see how Calgary’s communities handle the heat. It turns out that not all greenery is equal. My research shows a clear "breakpoint" where the density of vegetation actually starts to drop the surface temperature.I’ve mapped the "Hottest" and "Coolest" communities — see where yours stands and why some "green" areas are still overheating.Full article and maps here:https://www.datastory.org.ua/calgarys-summer-heat-a-2025-satellite-perspective/#RemoteSensing #Rstats #GreennesOfCalgary #ClimateOfCalgary #OpenData #FOSSGIS #ClimateResilence #Landsat #Sentinel2 #Calgary #Alberta #Canada #YYC #LST #NDVI

"Mark Carney made a damaging deal with Alberta to fast-track a new diluted bitumen oil pipeline to B.C.’s coast while rolling back key environmental protections. This pipeline would lock Canada into deeper dependence on a declining, high-polluting industry and put North Pacific ecosystems and coastal First Nations at risk from increased tanker traffic and catastrophic oil spills."Tell Mark Carney to stop this pipeline and choose a fossil-fuel free future:https://davidsuzuki.org/action/reject-albertas-pipeline-ploy/#Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #Alberta #ABPoli #BC #BCPoli

Nothing to see here, move along.Sobeys owner Empire is removing 'some signage meant to highlight Canadian products from its store shelves.'Empire said it will 'largely leave it up to customers to determine a product’s origin.'https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/2026/03/27/sobeys-owner-empire-to-remove-some-buy-canadian-signage/#Canada #ElbowsUp #BuyCanadian

Many people criticise or even leave #canada Each have their own reasons and that's perfectly fine. Canada isn't perfect either. No country is.In my case, as a #tech #entrepreneurI currently see an opportunity to contribute to #digitalsovereignty I believe Canada and even #quebec will need it.

Mark Carney is committing $175 million of our dollars to a major US investor closely linked to Donald Trump, to mine rare earth minerals in Nunavik.What was that about the "Owners of #Canada", again?https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nunavik-rare-earth-mining-project-9.7138515#ElbowsUp #ElbowsDown #Quebec

La « vraie » majorité aux Communes serait de 173 sièges pour les libérauxUne majorité d'un seul siège, soit 172, pourrait sensiblement compliquer les choses pour Mark Carney.https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/2242150/politique-majorite-liberal-ottawa-hypotheses#MarkCarney #Canada #PolCan #CanPoli

@atomicker Geothermal electricity seems like a perfect match for datacentres.

@Toxic_Flange Depends what you mean? If you mean for electing party leaders I believe most other parties (including provincial wings have gone this route already. For MPs or MLAs, I don't mind this system but it would have to be done through one of the proportional methods for me to think it was a good option. So something like STV yes, just winner take all ranked (better than today, but not good enough).

@AnnaAnthro Just had a conversation about this last night - apparently Canada moved the Coast Guard from Fisheries & Oceans to National Defence. So, it was just a shell game that got us over the line.

Today would be a great day for Canada to finally quit fossil fuels for good.'The energy crisis has only just begun', and 'is set to wreak havoc on global economies'https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/armstrong-oil-strait-of-hormuz-9.7142143#Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #EnergyCrisis #CostOfLivingCrisis #IranWar #Iran #ClimateChange #NoPipelines #ABPoli

@NMBA I think we're better off negotiating higher royalties and keeping competent companies doing the extracting than trying to make a crown corp and doing it ourselves (which we have already tried). Oil extraction with the efficiency of Canada Post - I guess it WOULD help the climate though.

@gottalaff.bsky.social they aren't sending their best or brightest to the capital

@Paulatics @sundogplanets Thank you!

The world faces "geopolitical calamity", and Mark Carney is laying off Canada's highest-skilled diplomats:"You just cut the entire cadre of most experienced, most specialized people (…) Your influence doesn’t come really from your press releases in Ottawa""I just don’t think that things have really been thought through"https://globalnews.ca/news/11745219/global-affairs-canada-laying-off-union-says/#Canada #CDNPoli
