These ads are poisoning trust in media
‘Native advertising' allows fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads in news outlets. A new book argues the practice undermines journalistic credibility.

Screen shot of findings by Health Canada Expert Advisory Group on Safer Supply: - Canada's overdose crisis is driven by prohibition, and an illegal market - Prescribed medications like Dilaudid do not meet the needs of all drug users Screen shot of recommendations by Health Canada Expert Advisory Group on Safer Supply: - Expand access to more prescription opioids and stimulants - Consider legal and regulated compassion clubs and retail stores

Where Are Canada’s Energy Transition Experts?

Canada has a small economists, engineers, analysts, etc versed in energy transition data and theory.

One reason why oil/gas voices dominate "major projects" discussions.
