We are doing a good enough job of speeding up this death train with the status quo without adding the massive destruction (and fossil fuel expenditure) or war into the mix. Why are our politicians so bound and determined to expedite the end of humanity?

It's unconscionable that he's now considering implicating Canada in any way in this completely illegal, massively destructive and completely needless war. This is bigger than the troops -- it's about the soul of the country. Is it really that irretrievably rotten?

Absolute bullshit when he's supporting Trump's ludicrous war on Iran. He's not pushing back against dominant superpowers, he's getting cosy. Canadians voted for Carney to avoid getting a Canadian Trump-lite...and ended up getting a (much politer & actually intelligent) Canadian Trump-lite.

As Trump and Netanyahu drag the region into war, Canada is shamefully cheering them on. Join us in emailing Prime Minister Carney and Foreign Minister Anand to demand that they retract their support for illegal US-Israeli attacks on Iran and impose sanctions on Israel.

I think the entire region is already dragged into a major conflict but other agree. And the International Atomic Energy Agency should probably be inspecting everyone with a nuclear program.

What you have to understand is that Carbon Capture and Storage is driven not by environmental concerns but by fossil fuel industry demands. It provides both a new revenue stream (at our expense) and the mother of all greenwashing schemes. Whether it works or not (it doesn't) is entirely irrelevant.

Violence is too often sloppy; it spills over. Misogynists kill a lot of men, racists kill white people, ICE in its attacks on immigrants and anyone who looks like them just killed a white US citizen. When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail; when you're a gun everyone is a target.
