#climatedefenders — Public Fediverse posts

I openly opposed #TMX on #Twitter a decade ago. As a result, I received constant online harassment, death threats and regular late night phone calls from machines that just said “goodbye” then hung up.

For all those saying “This pipeline will never happen”, there are many more right wing Canadian #MAGA bullies who are ready to push the point.

Sadly, as of my recent anti #NorthernGateway posts, the late night calls have resumed. Last night’s came at 4AM to my cellphone.

#MarkCarney has no idea of the hate storm he’s released on #BC due to his partnership with #DanielleSmith on this bullshit #MOU.

Intimidation and harassment in #Canada is a very real thing. Many Canadians unaffected and unconcerned with this pipeline have no idea what would happen if they openly opposed it.

This is the reality for #climatedefenders under #Liberals who have once again emboldened the worst people n Canada.

I hesitated to speak out against this new pipeline, knowing the harassment would continue. But that’s their intention, to intimidate me into silence.

So late night phone calls again it is. Last time this triggered me so much I spent way more time openly opposing the pipeline to spite the hate.

This pipeline will probably get built, despite all those minimizing by saying it won’t. I know this because of the constant misinformation in the #MSM and on #Facebook, skewed polls in favor of the pipeline meant to nudge public opinion, and the start of a new harassment and intimidation campaign by right wing lunatics.

The machine has once again awoken and anti Climate Liberals are at the wheel, steering Canada away from clean options while letting #Conservative goons do their dirty work.

Northern Gateway is a Nation Burning Project not “Nation Building” as Mark Carney would have you believe.

We will resist this pipeline and we will continue to fight, despite biased Canadian Media and #MapleMAGA threats and harassment.

This will be the most costly pipeline ever built in Canada, both financially and politically. If built, Liberals will carry this oil-soaked albatross for a generation.

Carney’s betrayal will cost them dearly, as dearly as opposing another dirty oil pipeline will cost all of us in #BC.

[Thread] The next installment from #KleeBenally 's book, #NoSpiritualSurrender

“The devastation of #NuclearColonialism, which permanently destroys #Indigenous communities throughout the world, is outright ignored by some of the most devout #ClimateJustice advocates. They claim #NuclearEnergy production is also a #GreenSolution to the #ClimateCrisis. More than 15,000 abandoned #UraniumMines are located within the so-called US, mostly in and around Indigenous communities, permanently poisoning #SacredLands and waters with little to no action being taken to clean up their deadly toxic legacy. There are currently 93 operating #NuclearReactors in the so-called US that supply 20% of the country’s electricity. There are 60,000 tons of #HighlyRadioactive spent waste store in concrete dams at #NuclearPowerPlants throughout the country with the waste increasing at a rate of 2,000 tons per year.

“In 1987 the ‘US’ Congress initiated a controversial project to transport and store almost all of the US’s #ToxicWaste at #YuccaMountain located about 100 miles northwest of so-called #LasVegas, #Nevada. Yucca Mountan has been held holy to the #Paiute and #WesternShoshone Nations since time immemorial. In January 2010 the #ObamaAdminstration approved a $54 billion taxpayer loan in a guarantee program for new nuclear reactor construction, three times what Bush previously promised in 2005. In April 2022, the #BidenAdministration government bailout to ‘rescue’ nuclear power plants at risk for closing. A #Colonial government representative stated, ‘US nuclear power contributes more than half of our #CarbonFree electricity, and President Biden is committed to keeping these plants active to reach our #CleanEnergy goals.’

“They, along with Climate Justice activiists, cite nuclear energy as necessary to combat #GlobalWarming, all while ignoring the devastating percent impacts #IndigenousPeoples have faced. There is nothing clean about energy produced from nuclear colonialism. From its weapons (including #DepletedUranium) to its #Mining and its waste; Indigenous bodies, lands, and waters continue to be sacrificed to heat water with radioactive materials which creates steam that moves generators to change batteries made from #Lithium extracted from other Indigenous sacred lands so #Teslas can mo you forward into a ‘just’ climate future.

“A green economy sustains and advances colonial progress, which means mitigated selective and ongoing destruction of #MotherEarth.”
