Have you noticed that Trump is trying to lay claim to any areas that have a coastline that comes along with exclusive economic zones? When I say it's about Russia wanting access to the world's resources, I'm not joking. Saudi Arabia has already said they plan to own all the energy.

Why we need an environmental assessment of the potential energy use and emissions at EverWind’s data centre complex  - Halifax Examiner
Data centres are the next big thing that will make Nova Scotia great again. It may well be the next big thing, but without a proper environmental assessment, it certainly won’t make Nova Scotia great.

How many times has Carney met with Greenpeace in the last two years? I bet it is fewer than the number of times he's met with oil executives.
The past 11 years have been the hottest on record.

#ExtremeWeather and wildfires are increasingly threatening human health, particularly among vulnerable populations and in regions with limited capacity to respond to climate-related impacts.

Does he believe in climate change?

Does he support the gutting of environmental protections?

Does he support new pipelines being built with tax dollars?

Does he support selling off resources to foreign (often American) companies?

That’s what I think will happen if a Blue Wave materialises: They’ll refuse to swear them in, effectively shutting down government, 47 will singlehandedly control government and the whole world will descend further into chaos.
Fascist anti-democracy Republicans (including @RepTimBurchett) are trying to keep progressives who win their elections from being sworn in.

Reality: They are racists who were complicit in an insurrection. They’re the ones actually betraying the constitution.

One more request to sacrifice our climate and health, and every cent of Canada's tax revenue, in order to make it easier to burn more oil.

While fossil fuel companies make record profits, we're asked to look the other way.

Have we ever considered taxing them?
