Facts: Canada emits 1.32% of total global emissions Finance Dept: net-zero will “require between $125B and $140B in investment every yr." More than total Federal Health and Social Transfers. This range appears on Canada’s formal UN climate filing. Why? Christia Freeland "“Even if all Canadians stopped emitting carbon, we wouldn’t move the dial.”

Germany went back 1600 years.

French boy in Poland shocked because bicycles are parked without chains and no one steals them. If you don't import third world you don't become third world.

Common sense is breaking out all over the world. Except Britain, naturally.

For Dunkirk (2017), Christopher Nolan consulted survivors and historians to ensure accuracy in uniforms, ships, weather, and timeline. He shot scenes during a small storm but cut them in editing because the real 1940 weather was calm.

🇫🇷 SARKOZY WALKS - AND FRANCE PROVES JUSTICE WEARS A TAILORED SUIT Three weeks. That’s all it took for Nicolas Sarkozy - ex-president, convicted felon, and eternal operator - to turn a 5-year corruption sentence into a supervised stroll back into Parisian daylight. The man once accused of taking Libyan cash to win an election now walks free while promising, again, that he’s innocent. Technically, it’s legal. Symbolically, it’s a masterclass in elite impunity - a system that talks equality but kneels to power in cufflinks. France is already burning with rage over double standards - strikes, tax fights, the yawning gap between Paris and the rest. Now it watches one of its most polarizing figures glide past the justice system like a VIP through airport security. Sarkozy’s appeal may clear his record, but not his reputation. The right will paint him as a martyr, the left as proof the Republic’s rot starts at the top. He’s out of prison. But France? Still behind bars. Source: Reuters, Le Monde, France24

'The Rowers.' (1924) Manuel Losada is one of the key names in the modern Basque painting of the early 20thC - his work was praised by both Gauguin and Degas, and one can argue, there is a certain Degas-like expression of movement in this picture.
