A Secret Oil Cartel Might Have Killed Our Clean-Energy Future In a landmark antitrust case, Michigan alleges oil companies colluded to “capture and kill” clean-energy and electric-vehicle efforts.

Big Oil "purchased solar and EV patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels, according to the complaint." 😠

(I stole this from somewhere, but) I heard Abraham Lincoln said watching “Melania” was the worst experience he’s ever had in a theatre. 😂😂

Infographic titled “Alberta’s Tale of Two Grievances,” comparing Premier Danielle Smith’s contrasting responses to two groups. Left column: “The Million Separatists,” with a photo of Smith and text quoting her saying she will not “demonize or marginalize” separatist supporters because they have legitimate grievances. The actions listed include granting them political validation and refusing to condemn meetings with U.S. State Department officials. Message: “Your feelings are valid; let’s talk.” Right column: “Trans Youth & Teachers,” with another photo of Smith and text stating she is using the Notwithstanding Clause to proactively silence grievances before they can reach a courtroom. Actions listed include using Section 33 to override the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and blocking legal challenges in advance. Message: “Your rights are a nuisance; let’s override them.” Bottom banner reads: “In Alberta, ‘Freedom’ is for those who want to leave Canada, but not for those who want to use the Canadian Charter,” with the word “Freedom” highlighted in gold.

Danielle Smith won’t “demonize” separatists courting foreign support — she validates them from the highest office. But trans youth and teachers? She reaches for the Notwithstanding Clause to silence them before they ever see a courtroom. Freedom, UCP-style. #ABpoli #ABleg #CDNpoli #TransRights

Saskatchewan's Fossil Oligarchy | Watershed Sentinel Saskatchewan's recent decision to double down on coal power throws workers, taxpayers, ratepayers, and a habitable planet under the bus.

As I explained years ago, #SaskPower is wasting our money on new fossil gas power plants, and dreaming of SMR nuclear when #solar and storage is cheaper and is available today!

Yep. 😩

False.
There’s money.
It’s just going to lawyers, leases, and dividends — not dignity.

Can thank the Sask Party govt mismanagement of our Crown corps & not reinvesting the dividends to keep the Crowns operating effectively. Expect the Sask Party govt to push for privatization in the near future using the state of the Crowns as an excuse

We knew this all along about the Conservative Party. It's just slogans, smearing others, targeted harassment, misinformation, and all out lies.

Shortened to fit: “The immediate needs are basic…find everyone…a place to sleep and access to food,” Pratchler said.

“These are basic human needs and the province is responsible for providing for them without any further delay.”

Pratchler said the response cannot be “we’re working on it.”

This is pretty bad - our government just doesn't seem to care about people.

Saskatchewan is now too apparently😔

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Mandryk: Moe shows disinterest in improved Ottawa relations by not condemning separatists Does Moe truly want that "reset" or is he simply interested in milking the divisions with the federal Liberals for as long as he can?

Something very significant has happened in Canada and #skpoli in the last few months. Trump has ignited Canadian nationalism while killing populism in #cdnpoli (51st state, tariffs). Separatism is the antithesis of the Kingdom of Canada. Moe has become yesterday’s man.
