You'll note that there is zero talk of nationizing fossil fuel revenues for actual nation-building that benefits citizens (a la Norway), it's just corporate profit.
Also crucially, even if oil wasn’t killing the planet and costing us billions, this doesn’t create that many jobs anymore. Its literally a give away of our environment to raise some stocks.
Canada has had record breaking forest fires that show no signs of slowing down, let alone stopping, and Carney decides we can all stomach it so oil magnates can get more billions.

GUARDIAN: “Per head, 🇺🇸 output is six times China’s, and yet, inexplicably, there seem to be more abjectly poor Americans than Chinese. 🇺🇸 inequality is breathtaking… keeps getting worse…”

Wanting to address this isn’t radical.

NOT wanting to is.

Use your safe word and we'll stop. Nope. Sorry, we're not done f*#ing you over yet.

THREAD:

Here's every time Hamas said YES and Israel said NO:

📅 Nov 2023: Hamas agrees to truce. Israel extends it 7 days, then resumes war.

📅 Jan 2024: Hamas reviews 3-phase ceasefire proposal. Netanyahu calls it "delusional."

Israeli soldiers were filmed detaining two Palestinian children in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank, while demanding to know their father’s whereabouts.

When a passerby intervened and urged their release because of their young age, a soldier replied, “I don’t care”.
