shorturl.at/CH5Kb Most Canadians see the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy as a way to reduce risk of international conflict and boost our national security. Completely unacceptable for a country to take control of another country’s natural resources & annex land there.

Carney Government Knew Carbon Capture Was β€˜Very Limited,’ Docs Show Briefing notes obtained by DeSmog reveal the Carney government had major knowledge gaps about CCS even as it made the technology central to its climate plan.

shorturl.at/UfS7D Carney's MOU w dani Smith incl support construction of a $16.5 Billion CCS project. Tho' knew little about true costs or technical feasibility!
CCS is an out- and-out scam!
We Canadians will get hugely hosed by this Fossil Fuel loving politician!

The Tech Industry Is Spending Millions to Rebrand Data Centres With community opposition growing, data centre backers are going on a full-scale public relations blitz.

shorturl.at/htfAN "Clean energy, new jobs, better energy future." Malarkey!
Create far fewer jobs than other industries, study shows developers pocket > $1 Million in state subsidies for each permanent job they create! After built few workers needed. Customers suffer higher electricity bills.

How will Trump's war against Iran impact Ukraine? Zelensky is seeking to curry favor with U.S. President Donald Trump and show that Ukraine is a reliable ally, analysts say.

shorturl.at/2M1ee Zelensky backs U.S.-Israeli war vs Iran.
For Ukraine, choice was logical: Iran is a Kremlin ally that has backed Russia's aggression vs Ukraine & supplied drones to Moscow.
I don't care for any country backing the new war but "The friend of my enemy is my enemy."

shorturl.at/CEHum The enemy is deliberately trying to kill Ukrainian police officers who stand every day in defense of people & state. Russia is trying to compensate for its slow progress on battlefield in Donetsk, taking war directly to the Ukrainian population, hoping to break its will to resist

What REALLY scares me is that 3 of 4 Americans support this rogue action & the murders being committed!
What can people of other countries possibly believe of the morals/ethics/values of the US if only a minority have a heart?

This is pure imperialism by US & Israel, conquering Iran for its resources, Israel for more land in its hegemony!

Why These Iranian-Canadians Strongly Oppose U.S.-Israeli Aggression
β€œThis war is a war of power, a war of resource and land grab, and it is nothing about democracy.
US & Israel intend to weaken Iran, to split it along ethnic/religious/political lines, and just to take over the national resources.”

Electing Trump the first time could have been seen as an aberration, a quirk of US politics that would not be repeated. But electing him a second time sent a clear signal to the rest of the world that it is imperative to reduce military and economic dependence on the US because it is unstable.

Sign the Petition Remove Pete Hoekstra as US ambassador to Canada. Let's send Pete Packing!

c.org/X2bsNMFmkw I am deeply troubled by presence of Pete Hoekstra as US ambassador to our great country. This is more than just a diplomatic positionβ€”it’s a role that requires respect, tact & understanding of our shared history and values. Hoekstra demonstrates NONE of these qualities.

I would like to say Midterms may help us but unfortunately despite the people telling me he can't openly interfere in an election I feel he is going to try his best to do just that. And Congress will allow it.
