Ontario pledges billions for Pickering plant, while power bills rise to pay for past nuclear projects Despite major hydro bill hikes tied to past nuclear projects, the Ford government will spendย $26.8 billion to refurbish the Pickering nuclear power plant, extending its life for three more decades.

David Pickup, manager of the Pembina Instituteโ€™s electricity program, said the decision reinforces Ontarioโ€™s heavy focus on nuclear energy even though the province needs โ€œmany different energy options and many projectsโ€ to meet future demand. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/28/n...

As Carney-Smith pipeline deal looms, Catherine McKenna says oil companies can't be trusted. She would know Justin Trudeau's first environment minister spoke with Canada's National Observer about misogyny, policy and broken promises.

"We did buy a pipeline because we felt there was a need to still get Alberta's oil to market," McKenna says. "And what did we get? They did not live up to their end of the bargain under any stretch of the imagination." www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/25/n...

Stupid, soulless men born into wealth. Not an ounce of integrity between them, but each has an overabundance of cruelty and a bottomless supply of disdain for the people they're meant to serve in the positions of power they've swindled, stolen, and somehow maintained.
