Let's keep in mind Canada especially is a massive spending location for oil and gas PR. Our Prime Minister had the momentum to unite us around renewables and chose instead to back taxpayer funded pipelines & repeat that PR. This could look much different under different circumstances and choices.

god damn 34% of y'all are EXTREMELY susceptible to propaganda

If you haven’t been boycotting American products/companies by now, good news, there’s plenty of time to get started !

Incredibly brazen for the Prime Minister to boast about the “lasting benefits” of expanding fossil fuel production on a day like today. Record-breaking heatwaves. Toxic smoke engulfing cities and towns. Out of control wildfires forcing entire communities to evacuate. /1

The world wants to do more with Canada. Our MOU with Alberta will unlock those opportunities in energy — and create lasting benefits for Canadians.

The Pathways MOU offers... 🤑 More public funding 💨Fewer emissions reductions 🚫 No binding commitments The new Pathways MOU raises questions about whether a West Coast pipeline is truly contingent on carbon capture — and what happens if it doesn't proceed. ⬇️

Ottawa, Alberta and oil producers sign non-binding deal on scaled-back carbon capture plan

The federal government committed to developing options to help cover carbon capture operating costs, without specifying how or how much.

It may even push farm prices down by promoting competition among suppliers -> making farmland even less affordable.

When Rogers shuts down local stations, communities lose local stories and ways to stay connected to where they live. Local journalism is in the public interest. We need to protect it, fund it, and make sure communities aren't left with dead air when media conglomerates walk away.

I really hate private corporations doing any lab work in Canada. These should be publicly owned laboratories and our personal health data should be kept in Canada.

Building an oil pipeline today means betting on decades of future demand. And with countries accelerating their #CleanEnergy transitions and reducing oil dependence, Canadians should be asking whether this is the best place to put taxpayer $. #cdnpoli More in @theenergymix.com ➡️ buff.ly/f66fzYY

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

Today’s announcement shows what this federal government will protect above all else: the profits of Big Oil. Read my full statement on the oil pipeline proposal from the Prime Minister and Premier Smith: www.ndp.ca/news/ndp-rea...

NDP Reaction to West Coast Pipeline Announcement

NDP Leader Avi Lewis shared the following statement in response to the oil pipeline proposal from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith:

ndp.ca

"Private-public" partnership. The public will pay the full load. The oil giants get all the profit. We paid $34 billion for TMX pipeline. The companies balked at having to pay their share through the toll rates so the public has been subsidizing 50 cents on the barrel. #astheplanetburns

This pipeline isn’t nation building. It’s nation burning.

In April, wind and solar created more electricity than gas for the first time.💨☀️ As energy systems respond to price shocks and volatility, the shift to clean, locally-produced power is accelerating. See @ember-energy.org’s latest findings 📊➡️ buff.ly/raedpGc

Young Canadians shouldn’t have to take their own government to court to protect their future. Canada needs leaders who will protect young people, not gut the climate policies meant to safeguard their future.
