Just a Guy

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Yes.

This post was more about the #Alberta government having such significant bias against science and health and their ties to the AntiVaxxers

Although not as effective as #vaccines, “High-quality, well-fitted #masks (such as N95s or KN95s) can reduce inhalation of infectious particles and help prevent an infected person from spreading the virus.“

I have a hard time shaking this memory. There are of course many worse incidents since but the fear in her voice and actions bother me.

When I’ve spoken to Russians about Putin, I always get a similar response. They turn the conversation back to Yeltsin and how everything is his fault.

That is still their rationale 25 years later….

My Point?
Trump can blame Biden/Obama for a very long time and it can stick (unfairly of course)

Great point and it’s why nature needs to be preserved too!

Examples that other’s might not know:

Ace Inhibitors: Snake venom, heart/kidney
Warfarin: clover. stroke prevention
Aspirin: Bark
SGLT2: apple tree, diabetes
Penicillin: mold, antibiotic
Digoxin: foxglove; heart conditions
Botox: bacteria,

Power and FEAR.

Anyone that’s dared to stand up to him has had their political career ended not to mention death threats.

(I agree with you if that wasn’t clear)

So this one didn’t speak to me but his interview did. I’m skeptical that this works outside of NYC but I’m often wrong.

Municipal leaders urge feds to focus on nation-building, not ‘nation-burning’ A coalition of more than 250 leaders has laid out five of its own major projects to replace Ottawa’s fossil-fuel push.

The Keystone pipeline leaked in Kansas. What makes this spill so bad? The cause for the spill is still unclear. What's known is the type of oil that was piped: tar sands oil, also called diluted bitumen. It's a lot harder to clean up than conventional oil.

Here is an image and description of one of the more recent spills.

So yes, POTUS, fulfilled a campaign promise after a decade of disagreements about routes and acceptable spill amounts from land owners.

Keystone Pipeline - Wikipedia

“While TransCanada estimates that the Keystone XL will have 11 significant spills, defined as more than 50 barrels (8 m3) of crude oil, over 50 years, a more realistic assessment is 91 significant spills over the pipeline's operational lifetime.”

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyston...

Keystone Pipeline - Wikipedia

There was more than a decade of opposition from land owners in the US with a focus on what spillage is acceptable.

“Since 2010, the Keystone Pipeline has had 23 leak incidents, spilling over one million gallons of crude oil. “

The way this is written feels like it’s more National Post than a balanced national newspaper.

“Small” financial risk should have been

“They predict the cost to the taxpayor to be less than the 1.3B for keystone”

Also

“After Joe Biden” is an over simplification

Contd.

Agreed

But the business case for #TMX was more politics than business too

It costs Canadian taxpayers

$31,000,000,000.00 up front

and “IF” oil prices stay high Canadians will lose approximately

$5,000,000,000.00

(according to the non-partisan CBO)

To this day when you hear a Russian defend Putin they refer to President Boris Yeltsin.

Is it fair? I can’t really answer that in an educated way.

I can with confidence tell you that this is #Trump ‘s play book

#Trump’s “ incoherent rant against the #UN ,… the horrors of his rejection of climate science, attacks on migrants and calls for the world to reject cheaper renewable energy and to ramp up the global furnace for runaway climate crisis.”

Chicago is delightful, actually.

It’s time for Mark Carney to draw the line on climate policy Canada's prime minister has sacrificed a host of climate policies in his pursuit of political power. Now it's time for him to fight for the most important one of all — and win.

“the emissions cap, EV mandate, and consumer #CO2 tax… make contributions to the federal government’s emissions reduction targets, the industrial tax was always going to do the heaviest lifting”
