"#Canada isn’t the only country asking taxpayers to subsidize this largely unproven, risky, energy-intensive and less-than-effective technology. The #UnitedStates, #UnitedKingdom and #Australia are also funnelling public money into #carboncapture projects...... It’s insane that obscenely profitable fossil fuel companies are allowed to continue putting all life at risk through unnecessary expansion of their deadly industry." https://davidsuzuki.org/story/clean-power-pathways-beat-carbon-capture/

Computers, the internet & now genAI have been used to create evil mass market corporation & highly destructive effects on our cultures, societies and the people in them for some +30 years.
Governments are now taking some actions.
(Some of which, like age verification, are completely consistent with the surveillance capitalism desires of the techbros and techgals.)
But mandatory jail terms for senior management aren't yet in place.

It is time for MPs in #Canada and #Canadians to speak up about the direction the #CarneyCons are taking this country. https://digital.yellowknifer.com/Yellowknifer-07152026/2/

The future of intelligent life on earth may depend on genAI and greed interacting to reduce the human population by a factor of some 6000.
There are other pathways forward.

“It’s hypocritical. These guys have been hyping 90%, 95% capture, and now it’s, ‘well. we really can’t do it that fast, it’s not tested, it’s not certain’.” https://www.theenergymix.com/master-class-in-greenwash-as-ottawa-alberta-oil-sands-alliance-unveil-ccs-deal/

Who is served by this stupid #CarneyCon road across the #tundra through #caribou habitat? Not local people. Not Northern people? Maybe not even #Canadians. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/new-film-on-nunavut-megaproject-raises-concerns-about-caribou-and-the-people-who-hunt-them-9.7265941

"Deepening trade and defence partnerships with the #EU. This laundry list of initiatives is impressive, yet the #Canadian Prime Minister is mum about any efforts to advance #humanrights."

Today’s announcement breaks two promises that the federal and Alberta governments have repeatedly made to Canadians—that a pipeline would be privately financed, and would be contingent on oil sands companies reducing their emissions,” https://www.theenergymix.com/90-public-ownership-as-carney-smith-announce-new-pipeline-into-declining-global-oil-market/

"The #fossilfuel industry only wants this pipeline if it comes as a handout from our governments. But #Canadians, including #Albertans, do not want to pay for another pipeline – especially when the cost estimates range from $35 to $100 billion dollars. There are better things for our governments to do with that money." Time for all #Canadians to speak up. Lean on your MPs to rein in the banker and his #BigOil pals. https://environmentaldefence.ca/2026/07/03/statement-alberta-pipeline-proposal-will-be-a-failure/

"The #oil industry is a fire industry. It is a #CO2 industry. it is a #climate changing industry." Yet the leadership of #Alberta and #Canada are all in on killing #ecosystems, generating more #climate #refugees, and driving more rapid #climateBreakdown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjeuEsJHwOA

"Last year Carney talked of “elbows up” but his decisions around cutting the federal service, investment in #fossilfuels, and spending on the military at the expense of social programs tells a different story." https://rabble.ca/politics/canadian-politics/carneys-vision-of-canadas-sovereignty-is-quickly-blurring/

Message to the #CarneyCons - "Instead of cozying up to CropLife Canada, it should be guided by farmers, agricultural workers, independent researchers, health experts, and environmental organizations." https://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/why-is-the-carney-government-cozying-up-to-pesticide-companies

The actions of Ford in not recalling the faulty vehicles were IMO stochastic murder.

"An agenda that promotes a #military-industrial complex, slashes international aid, weakens #Indigenousrights, punishes #refugees and immigrants, and privatizes critical defence-related infrastructure — all while reducing #democratic accountability — is an agenda in conflict with the values of peace, justice, and human security." https://substack.com/home/post/p-203752731

#CarneyCons capitulation to the fascist regime south of the 49th is the outcome on almost any issue. #Canadian #stories, #music, #arts and #culture are now headed for the trash. https://www.policyalternatives.ca/news-research/will-cancon-die-with-the-online-streaming-act/?mc_cid=83dacc4fdf&mc_eid=38eb5baa00

@cbcnews @calgary-cbcnews For context - for 20 years Tim Hodgson worked in New York, London, Silicon Valley and Toronto with Goldman Sachs and served as CEO of Goldman Sachs Canada from 2005 to 2010. He worked with Mark Carney at Goldman Sachs and joined the Bank of Canada as special adviser to him in 2010, when Carney was governor. He was board member for Calgary-based #oilsands producer MEG Energy from 2016 to 2019. He doesn't work for #Canadians.

"The present separatist initiative won’t lead to independence for #Alberta, but it is being used by the province’s #fossilfuel capitalists and political leaders to ensure that the present destructive intensification of extractive projects unfolds on terms that are to their economic and political advantage." https://www.counterfire.org/article/alberta-separatism-a-tangled-reactionary-web/?brid=YWdncwEIeJtbTzL6erf9TYSfMubH

#Carney's "proposal suggests, without evidence for need, that #Canada should sacrifice the rule of law and our most sensitive species and #ecosystems in order to build pipelines and other projects. If approved, this proposal will take Canada back to a more dangerous, toxic and destructive time and leave Canadians facing impacts that could last for generations.” https://environmentaldefence.ca/2026/05/08/statement-proposed-changes-to-major-project-decision-making-risk-dismantling-decades-of-environmental-progress/

Ha ha ha ha.
It's just for new contracts.
"The obligations under the new reserve – which will replace the so-called “gas trigger” as the mechanism to secure domestic supplies – will not apply to contracts signed before that date." (22 December 2025)
He had me going there for a sec.
Thought we might actually get some real money now for our gas. -

Well I feel ok about that now he's explained it.
Just cause Norway charges some 56% and now has a national pension fund of A$1.9 trillion, ~A$350,000 per citizen.
Anthony Albanese is pissing in our pockets while giving our gas away to his billionaire maties.
He's like getting an empty parcel in the post.
