Yikes. If I was in government and in any way involved with this I'd be getting some independent legal advice, ie - not from government lawyers, but from criminal defense lawyers with ICL experience, asap.

This is from the Genocide Convention, which Canada signed and ratified in 1949.

Canadian Natural Resources beats profit estimates, Trans Mountain pipeline nearly triples oil flow to Western parts TMX has brought higher oil production to Pacific Coast from Alberta, opened up market access to refineries in Asia and U.S. West Coast.

Canada owns the TMX pipeline. So all this increased production, and downstream emissions, are a direct result of a Canadian federal government asset.
Small Island States, consider this Exhibit B for suing Canada pursuant to the recent ICJ case.

As trump and Canada repeal environmental laws to make way for more oil and gas I can't help but think, "go back, Jack, do it again.. "

If the search function worked, it would grow.

If tons of people weren't blacklisted, with Palestinian advocates getting added to lists with names like "MAGA", it would grow, because folks would see each other and talk.

Now it's a combination of useless, deceitful, and dull. It doesn't have to be.

My Mom worked for the federal government from the 60s through the early 90s, and was paid a pittance. She was part of the long fight for pay equity.
And discrimination against women continues - we only need to look south to see the danger. We need WAGE now more than ever.

Canada Searches for New Energy Markets in a Quest for Superpower Status A plan to export more Canadian energy would have consequences for the U.S., its top foreigner buyer.

I’m Captain Ahab and I Say We Must Never Transition Away from a Whale-Based Energy Industry When I heard that the globalist oligarchs and fat cats in the Washington marshland were conspiring to invest in alternative, non-whale-based energy...

Generally speaking, yeah, absolutely. I've been saying for 10 years about climate litigation - the facts will keep coming to us.
There are so many people harmed from fires now, smoke, homes burned, etc, and attribution science has made huge strides to support causation.

A preacher’s dark secret: Sleepovers, porn and sex abuse allegations dating back decades Joe Campbell says his calling is to share God’s love, but a group of women say he sexually abused them as girls. An NBC News investigation uncovered decades of missed warnings and failures to act.

Meet the fantastically successful white Evangelical megapastor from Oklahoma whose entire ministry appears to be cover for the sexual abuse of children. He's in big with Trump and MAGA, too, of course. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
