Oil Markets & Zombie Pipelines: What You Should Know About Canadian Energy - Environmental Defence We need clean, renewable energy to tackle climate change, strengthen energy security, and provide power for a resilient Canadian economy.

🌎 has reached a "critical turning point" in its switch to clean power & has surpassed coal globally. Pipelines need consent, are VERY expensive, slow to build, there are NO buyers or project proponents & they won't protect πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ economy.

PM Carney: no taxpayer subsidies for American billionaires! Donald Trump’s billionaire donors are pushing a new gas terminal on the coast of British Columbia. It would be 100% American owned – and built in Korea. BUT THEY WANT US TO PAY FOR IT.

Petition -
Ksi Lisim Pipeleine is not a "nation building project". It is US private equity buying up real estate, telecoms &
energy infrastructure. They can only be successful through πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ subsidies, tax breaks & grants. There is no future (& no great jobs) with LNG.

Disruptive innovation is a term popularised by the American academic Clayton Christensen.

This is a prime example: learning effects lead to reduced cost of solar leading to more adoption resulting in more learning effects because of modularisation.

The richest 400 Americans gained enough new wealth in the past year to have provided every adult citizen with about $400 a month in universal basic income. That would cut poverty in half.

We are making a choice as a society to give a small number of people essentially infinite access to resources.

In Canada we do not have the same "free speech" as they do in America.
We have "freedom of expression" but it's rightly not absolute.
Some Canadians would do well to remember this.

It’s just a rinse and repeat. "Well, if we want a strong economy, we need to implement/expand on any 'shortsighted and long term damaging projects/industries'...".

People want strong climate action. Unfortunately, because it has an immediate affect on their lives, people prioritise the general economy & the cost of living as their top concerns when asked. This gives politicians an excuse not to act or worse, actively fight against it.

Femicide: many countries around the world are making the killing of women a specific crime – here’s why it’s needed Croatia has become the latest in a string of nations to make killing women because of their gender a specific offence.

We are definitely behind a lot of countries in prioritising this worsening problem.
