Pipeline politics won’t save us from Trump’s threats. Jim Stanford nails this. Diversify and diversify green. Sorry AB and SK, fossil fuels are quickly becoming dodos ie extinct. OTOH, massive investment in solar and wind could help--only if provincially owned. AB has privatized power--a mistake.

“As long as America is running a lawless fascist regime we are sure as shit not going to be lectured by the US Ambassador like a fucking parent! Get out of here! The rest of the world respects the HELL out of Canada!” 🇨🇦 Oshow Scandal Panel is 🔥🔥🔥 #cdnpoli #Canada 🔗 youtu.be/NEAB51a_El4?si…

Exchanging one awful provider for another just a little less awful. Really little less.

god*mmit, how f*cking high do we have to keep our elbows? If this is your MP, bring the noize! If he's not, flood our PMs office with outrage. Question his appointment of this rabid idiot.

For every $1.00 the Canadian Women’s team received of funding from your government the English women receives $142.00. You don’t invest in the success of women so don’t use them for social media content.

To all my Canadian brothers & sisters! If you’re still crossing the border into the US please be aware that you have no rights once you leave Canada I was shocked to see that there was an hour wait to cross into the US at the Peace Arch crossing.

I can’t tell you exactly how I know but after sixty years in and around politics I’ve developed a sixth sense, and my sixth sense tells me the tide is now turning on Trump. This past week did it. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-sleeping-giant-is-awakening

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended
