While countries are facing heat waves and wildfires, oil companies are raking in record profits off the back of climate change, wars, and genocides. Canadian oil companies are expected to make an additional $90 billion this year—it's unacceptable. Demand an excess profits tax >> act.gp/4vUUnoH

Alberta electricity industry expects tripling of power prices from data centres
In Capital Power's latest earnings call, the company's CEO, Avik Dey, told analysts that he couldn't rule out prices of "$80 or $90" per megawatt hour of electricity by early 2028. By 2029, rival comp...

Here's a fun little coincidence I noticed: Every Republican Congressmember loudly blaming Canada's forest management policies for this year's unprecedented wildfires (and ignoring climate change) is a massive recipient of fossil fuel funding. Receipts👇

You’re not the only one that opposes taxpayer-funded pipelines. Most people across Canada don’t want them, including 61% of Albertans. This fight is far from over. @mark-carney.bsky.social, @daniellesmithab.bsky.social & Ford: NO PUBLIC MONEY FOR PIPELINES.
They make record profits, we struggle to pay rent. To buy groceries. To live. Corporate greed is ruining us, and Canada deserves better. Add your name for an excess profits tax on oil and gas companies profiting off war >> act.gp/4gnGJGG
Alberta and Ottawa said any new pipeline would be privately funded. Today that promise was broken: a private company will cover just 10%. Taxpayers will front up tens of billions of dollars. If oil exports are such an economic opportunity for Canada, why won’t companies invest? buff.ly/Ao6yGt3
Keith Stewart, senior energy strategist for @greenpeaceca.bsky.social, said the plan makes no sense economically or environmentally. “Why don’t we cut out the middleman & just have Canadians send their tax dollars directly to ExxonMobil?... (1/2) www.thestar.com/politics/pro...
