Charlie Angus' Strong Views on the Pipeline to Nowhere
Charlie Angus was an NDP Member of Parliament for northern Ontario for 21 years. Since he decided not to run in the 2025 election, he has led "The Resistance," a grassroots movement against what he calls the Maple MAGA in Canada. His criticism of the pipeline MOU between Canada and Alberta is spot on. #canadianpolitics #markcarney #daniellesmith #albertapolitics

I have enormous respect for @energimedia.bsky.social because they understand the oil/gas industry.
They understand the toxic politics of Danielle Smith.
We talk about the politics of Northern Gateway and the failure of Canada's Big Oil Industry to do their part.

Methane is a planet killer.
Canada gave millions to big oil for methane reduction. They used is as a subsidy for oil production.
Mark Carney should not have given Big Oil a break on methane obligations.

When you give up, and submit to doomerism, that's when Fascism thrives. They don't actually need a majority of people to follow their ideology, they just need a majority of people to not resist.
I believe that we will win. I believe the evil of the far-right is unsustainable, and doomed to fail.
