These are the same companies that can’t be bothered to invest in cleaning up their massive tailings ponds (over a *trillion* litres, and growing) Profits and pipelines for them, pollution for us
Keith Stewart@climatekeith.bsky.social · 2d agoOil Sands Alliance members, who are crying poor when asked to reduce the GHG pollution that drives wildfires, heatwaves and extreme weather, made over $13 billion in profits in the second quarter of 2026, 2.5x more than they made in the same three months in 2025.

On the Saturday of a long weekend, Carney’s government quietly took a major step forward in its push to build a new oil pipeline to West Coast. Even as Canada burns, they plan to allow the project to ignore VERY IMPORTANT rules so they can Build Baby Build. But you can have a say about it!
