Remember when the oil companies were saying if they didn’t get their pipelines or w/e they were going to move their operations elsewhere (as if the oil wasn’t, you know, in a fixed location)? Well guess what it doesn’t make a diff where they are because they are just transferring money to the U.S.

“Imperial Oil has announced it will eliminate 20% of its workforce by the end of 2027, with most of the positions based in Calgary.”

Remember, we are extracting and exporting more oil than ever before.

Douthat, who apparently has never been to Canada: “Canadians misunderstand both American politics and themselves.”

No we don’t.

From her website: “The conversation then turns to the rise of Christian nationalism.”

Reality: drop in religiosity in last 10 years in US is “among largest ever.”

used as nurse crops for broadleaves, so a mixed conifer and hardwood plantation would after thinning become a pure hardwood, many Beech woods were planted in this way. We should view the resulting hardwood 'high forest' as a plantation. although potentially a biodiverse one.

While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.

Now trump is blaming President Biden for the shooting in DC. Blaming the the ending in Afghanistan on Biden when the withdrawal was planned by trump. He has never taken responsibility for anything he’s done or caused.

This Thanksgiving—observe the National Day of Mourning.

From 1819 to 1969, US Govt stole tens of thousands of Indigenous kids—forcing them to convert to Christianity & stripping them of their identities. Resistance was met with violence. Sexual abuse was rampant.

I 100% believe this.

Obamacare getting healthcare to 20 million people saves about 30,000 people's lives a year. Or about a 9/11 worth of lives EVERY MONTH, in perpetuity.

This would be bigger than that.

So the UCP stole teachers pensions, set up AIMCo to give jobs to retired politicians, and promptly started losing billions of pension dollars.

Now they want to legislate that they don't have to pay for their fuck up.
