The #Alberta #UCP are playing god with our #watersheds. "diverting flows from one basin to another can disrupt these balances and the overall health of the watershed. In the receiving river, inter-basin transfers can introduce pests, parasites, invasive species, and infectious diseases, while reduced flows in the donor river can negatively impact water quality and availability for downstream communities and aquatic habitat." https://www.albertawilderness.ca/news-release-government-of-alberta-amended-water-act-despite-public-feedback/

Two MLAs who won't cooperate with their colleagues to make consensus govt work, an angry complainer, and a house speaker - four MLAs who contribute the least to good governance in #NWT are off to #Taiwan for a summer vacation at our expense. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/n-w-t-mlas-travel-to-taiwan-9.7307647

More orange #airquality - that's what the #CarneyCons, the #UCP Smith #libertarians, and #BigOil folks what for us. https://cabinradio.ca/299387/news/yellowknife/orange-air-quality-warning-issued-for-yellowknife/

The #CarneyCons are #climateCriminals. The death of these three #wildfire personnel is on their hands. https://cabinradio.ca/297384/news/environment/wildfires/three-people-killed-in-firefighting-plane-crash-near-fort-simpson/

#Indigenous nations in #NWT and #Nunavut have constitutionally protected legislation that will not be trashed because the #CarneyCons are strutting around like corporate CEOs. https://cabinradio.ca/297351/news/travel/mackenzie-valley-highway-will-the-way-its-regulated-change/

The high cost of #environmental lawlessness that allows #mining companies to take the resources and leave #toxic liabilities for the public to pay to remediate and manage in perpetuity . https://cabinradio.ca/296047/news/economy/giant-mine-remediation-passes-1-5-billion-in-spending/

The #NWT follows a consensus model of #governance BUT a cabinet and a group of so-called independent MLAs undermine the effectiveness of the legislative assembly where everyone is suppose to cooperate and collaborate in governance. #nwtpoli

The fix is in - the #BigOil puppets want to release #tarsands tailings into the most important #watershed in #Canada. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/alberta-oilsands-tailings-mine-wastewater-consultation-9.7206761

Diamond #mines in the #NWT are likely to follow the history of gold mines, leaving the public on the hook for costly clean-up. It is past time to make #mining companies pay. https://cabinradio.ca/290619/news/politics/what-do-ekatis-financial-troubles-mean-for-environmental-cleanup/

"The #Alberta Friends of Medicare are advising Northerners to pay attention to a legal opinion pertaining to Alberta’s bills 11 and 29, which make private ownership of hospitals in that province possible and could see diagnostic services switch to a user-pay system." https://yellowknifer.com/2026/05/06/privatization-of-healthcare-in-alberta-would-affect-northerners-says-non-profit-coalition-executive/

What this article doesn't acknowledge is that Thatcherite #MarkCarney does not value society and community. The North is screwed with this CEO-PM. https://cabinradio.ca/289706/news/yellowknife/canadas-sovereignty-and-security-depend-on-strong-communities/

#Mining companies taking resources from #SubArctic and #Arctic regions in #Canada are #corporateWelfare bums who don't pay their bills, expect public bailouts and leave #toxic messes behind. When will #nwtpoli and #cdnpoli finally stop these abuses? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/ekati-diamond-mine-files-creditor-protection-9.7186245

Seriously?? So this #mining company wants public dollars and avoidance of #environmental laws (aka a #CarneyCons fast tracked project) to supply the US Dept of War!!! #FFS https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/fortune-minerals-defence-supply-chains-9.7185286

The chaos in the #Alberta #healthcare system and now the introduction of vouchers means that more northerners and #Albertans are going to die. Why is the federal minister of #health silent? https://www.friendsofmedicare.org/minister_admits_voucher_program

If they don't leave a toxic mess behind that is a liability to all living things, it will be a 'landmark' closure. https://cabinradio.ca/281528/news/economy/mining/in-landmark-moment-diaviks-final-closure-plan-is-approved/

"Treaties 6, 8, and 10 are not historical artifacts. They are constitutional promises. They guarantee #IndigenousPeoples the right to continue using the land and #water for as long as the land exists. That promise does not survive industrial saturation." https://jonauger.substack.com/p/the-south-athabasca-plan
