"#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.

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.

"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/

@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.

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. -
