It's pretty wild that Carney is rushing all these laws to build "critical infrastructure", mentions nothing about clean drinking water in Indigenous communities, and Canadians just shrug and pretend 2021 didn't exist

Bell Canada to launch 6 AI data centres in B.C. | CBC News The first two artificial intelligence data centres are set to be opened in Kamloops and Merritt, B.C., this year.

1. Three AI data centres in Kamloops
2. The hottest city in Canada
3. With the most water stress of any city >100,000 people in the country
4. In a wildfire zone
5. In a semi-desert, semi-arid mountain climate

I have Questions.

Mark Carney should understand better than anyone why Canada is burning. Here’s how he can change course. Many reasons for our intense wildfire season are well-known. Our leaders need to do the math in order to save our economy - and us

A screenshot of a post by Kukpi7 (Chief) Rhonda Phillips on LinkedIn, calling on all First Nations, allies, and supporters to stand with Xatsūll First Nation on June 24 to 27, 2025 in Vancouver, as they challenge the Province of British Columbia's decision to bypass an environmental assessment for the Mount Polley mine expansion. Mount Polley Mine's tailings impoundment failed catastrophically in 2014 and sent tailings into Quesnel Lake, a salmon spawning ground and culturally important Secwépemc place. Chief Phillips states that choosing to conduct a proper environmental assessment would have cost far less than fighting the First Nation in court.

It's been called by multiple news sites, he will be elected.

A screenshot from a Black Press Media article, published on April 28th, 2025, the evening of the Canadian Federal Election, confirming Conservative candidate Aaron Gunn will be elected.

A screenshot of an excerpt of a news article by Sarah Grochowski, from the Vancouver Sun, Published Oct 22, 2021, titled "Aaron Gunn tossed from B.C. Liberal leadership race over 'diversity concerns.'" It states: "The NDP accused Gunn of using 'transphobic, racist and sexist rhetoric' on his social media with views including that systemic racism is 'a myth' and 'the gender pay gap doesn't exist.'"

Regardless of Carney's romantic nationalism this is the reality of Canada.

A racist, sexist, extreme right-winger successfully ran a campaign & was elected, despite Canadians knowing exactly who he is (or because it's exactly what they want).

Nearly 50% of the popular vote is for people like him.

"United, we've confronted our own past with #Indigenous Peoples"

Really?

Carney playing into Canada's romantic imaginings of itself.

Didn't take long for political commentators to say Canada needs to push pipelines. Again, not a word about Duty to Consult, Reconciliation, or #Indigenous-State relations.

Let's see how long it takes for Canada to ignore and abandon its Duty and G2G relations, with excuses of "good of the public."

Carney stating that Quebec language & culture defines Canada, talking about a "United Canada" & "build baby, build," becoming an "Energy Superpower," but barely a word about Indigenous Peoples, except lip service.

Who's going to be sacrificing for his lofty goals & nationalism?
