(he/him) An accidental activist. I kept waiting and waiting for someone to do something. Oh no what if everyone's waiting for me?!? Mostly climate, politics and geeky stuff. I learn by making mistakes and always seem to be learning something new.

Climate Change Will Bankrupt the Country Climate-fueled disasters cost America almost a trillion dollars over the last year, far more than economists predicted.

Morally broken leaders talk of #Pipelines as #NationBuilding instead of burning but it's a disastrous economic bet as well. #CostOfClimate needs to be demonstrated the and time again. #BigOil will continue to just take the money and run #ClimateChange prospect.org/environment/...

PRGT: the President’s Republican Gas Tentacle The American billionaires behind the proposed Ksi Lisims gas terminal and PRGT pipeline are back in the news – thanks to deceased child sex trafficker

Missed a pipeline. Carney and Eby fell over themselves saying yes to this one. www.dogwoodbc.ca/news/prgt-pr...

Unpacking John Horgan’s jump to Teck’s Elk Valley board | The Narwhal Former B.C. premier John Horgan is already taking a defensive posture in his new role, swatting down would-be criticism of environmentalists

And here's a Canadian example. Is it any wonder Horgan's toolbox was empty when it came time to use every tool against TMX? thenarwhal.ca/bc-john-horg...

C5 and C2 seem obvious places to start. Imagine Poilievre putting forward similar legislation, how would you feel about that? How about pushing C5 through on closure Stephen Harper style? If we wanted a conservative govt we'd elect one.

That's damned near every politician. It's almost as if they're motivated by something other than our best interests πŸ’΅ πŸ€”.

As we start blowing past the tipping points, I'd just like to say that any politician who's still pushing for more fossil fuel extraction is an evil person. A degenerate who should be shunned from the society they're happy to destroy for their own political career. A piece of selfish, depraved shit.

New polling confirms exactly what you'd expect: Canadians want the federal government to maintain or even expand support for women and 2SLGBTQIA+ people - not slash it.

Let's make sure the Prime Minister knows where Canadians stand: www.momentumcanada.net/budget

To Carney, "Elbows up" means buying American jets, building a pipeline to sell our oil to the US, joining a US missile defence system, opening our markets to more American dairy, and kissing the American president's ass at every opportunity.

This is what you voted for, is it?

There's a massive difference between pre-election Carney and post-election Carnage. Elbows down, more fossil fuels, austerity is the answer. No one voted for that.

There are no innocent bystanders during a fascist takeover of a democracy - if you're 'standing by', you're guilty.

New hate crime law is a cover for suppressing Palestine protests ⋆ The Breach The proposed 'Combatting Hate Act' is built on the idea that protests inspire hateful violence, and gives police the tools to crack down on expression

Mark Carney comes for our rights to protect Zionists?

"The proposed law treats people who are expressing themselves in public as criminals-in-waiting, and gives police more discretion to read their minds, interpret their motives, and arrest them."

They certainly want us to think they're not very bright, but I'll suggest they know exactly what they are doing and are using perceived stupidity to create plausible deniability that allows them to openly do what they are doing without being stopped.

Fossil Fuel Billionaires Are Bankrolling the Anti-Trans Movement | Atmos An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.
