PM Mark Carney has described developing fossil fuel infrastructure as “pragmatic.”
But it’s unclear how a country grappling with abysmal air quality due to wildfires fuelled by global warming will benefit from further fossil fuel development. Deborah de Lange writes.

The image shows a small black dog lying on a wooden floor. The dog has a fluffy coat with some white markings on its paws and face. It is positioned in the center of the image, looking directly at the camera with a relaxed posture. The dog's ears are floppy, and its eyes are dark and expressive. The wooden floor has a warm, light brown color with visible wood grain patterns. To the left of the dog, there is a black backpack with a red logo, and a black and white patterned rug is partially visible in the top left corner. The lighting in the room is warm, casting a soft shadow of the dog on the floor.

The image depicts a robotic figure with a detailed mechanical head and upper body. The head is predominantly purple with visible mechanical components, including gears and tubes, and features a mask-like structure with a circular eye and a mouthpiece. The robot's face has a human-like appearance, with visible wrinkles and a sense of age. The body is clad in a red garment with purple accents, and the figure stands against a blue, stone-like background with architectural details. The overall style is reminiscent of steampunk aesthetics, with a blend of organic and mechanical elements.

in reply to Murray GM - Paperposts • • •The image depicts a two-story building at night, illuminated by artificial lighting. The building features a prominent bay window on the second floor and large windows on the ground floor, with the sign "Mag's Local Yogurt" visible above the entrance. The architecture includes decorative trim and awnings over the windows. The street in front is empty, with a tree on the left and a trash can on the right. The scene is captured in black and white, emphasizing the contrast between light and shadow. The building's facade is well-lit, highlighting its architectural details, while the surrounding area is dark, creating a serene nighttime atmosphere.

The image depicts a black and white photograph of a building at night, prominently featuring a neon sign that reads "BLUE ROCK." The building is a three-story structure with a distinctive architectural style, including a corner tower with a pointed roof and decorative trim. The sign is illuminated, standing out against the dark sky. The ground floor has large windows, some of which are lit, suggesting the presence of a café or restaurant, as indicated by the visible text "LEFT BANK." The street is marked with a pedestrian crosswalk, and a traffic light is visible, showing a red signal. The scene is devoid of people, emphasizing the quietness of the night. The overall atmosphere is serene and somewhat nostalgic, with the building's details highlighted by the contrast between the light and dark areas.
