And meanwhile in Canada, Prime Minister Carney has announced that building yet another oil pipeline is "nation-building."
This after we just spent $34 billion of public money on TMX. And we pay to subsidize every barrel.
Canada now leads the world in increased oil production.

Thanks to you guys for continuing to point this abomination out. Harris needs to grow a backbone and stop pretending he doesn’t know what’s going on or saying there’s nothing he can do. His shameful inaction is the reason the MayDay 3 + other Shannon protestors have had to take the actions they have

1. Nearly finished my revised plot. Tomorrow should do it.
2. Heavy rain this afternoon, washed the garden clean. Growing things are drenched and happy.
3. All set for the first batch of elderflower cordial. All I need are longer arms, or a freakishly tall friend.

I watched the Louis Theroux Settlers Documentary earlier today and it made me so angry to see such blatant ethnic cleansing. The Settler agenda is indefensible.

Dr Assal Rad—

"A man in the West Bank had a heart attack after Israeli settlers set his house on fire and soldiers attacked him. He died and no settlers were arrested.

"The daily terror Palestinians endure under Israeli occupation are the stories Western media doesn’t bother telling you about."

Louis Theroux: The Settlers is a deathly warning In this documentary, Theroux allows ultra-nationalist Israeli settlers to speak with perfect openness. It is chilling.

Just finished watching Louis Theroux: The Settlers. It is truly truly horrifying.

"Are you a Palestinian?"
"Yes"
"Goodbye"

Apartheid in Israel.

I wonder where else certain racial groups were treated as 2nd class citizens?

From Louis Theroux's new documentary The Settlers on the BBC until Israel forces them to remove it.

Don’t let Amazon strip-mine our country. Support all your local “everything” businesses by paying for goods & services in Ireland. 🇮🇪

Ex-Trump Staffer Fired Over White Nationalist Event Makes His Return Darren Beattie is reportedly getting a top job in the second Trump administration.

“Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work,” Beattie wrote on X in October. “Unfortunately, our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men.”

Here's something that takes seconds and could have actual positive outcomes.

There is an official 'citizen's petition' system in the EU. There's one open at the moment to ban conversion therapy for LGBT+ people in the EU.

Ireland can be 1 of the 7 nations needed
