Certainly gives a lot of credence to the belief that the police exist to serve and protect the rich.
The pipeline is evil and probably will never return on the investment despite the massive risks of environmental destruction along every metre of its length, but Hair Guy bought it so the Blue party would like him. Bad idea. Now it's a Canadian thing, and that's what the mounties need to protect as a federal asset.
It's neat that you think mounties are superheroes, but their mandate is clear and simple: arrest people doing things that are decided to be crimes, or spend a proverbial penny now in protection to save a pound later -- and that pound can be shakespearean in impact. But holding them against manufactured ideals so they don't measure up does let the ACAB kids wave their edgelord flags around and finally Monica in Home-room will finally notice them.
People want green energy, but the government uses our tax dollars to give subsidies to oil companies and buys them pipelines and RCMP to protect them.
Why do they do this? Because their rich friends pay them to. Fuck the liberals, fuck the conservatives, fuck the RCMP. They only serve the rich.
If we had a real free market economy - or if our governments hadn’t been corporate stooges for the last 50 years - gas would be way more expensive than it already is and the transition to green energy would be much further along.
