“The Earth is not dying, it is being killed, and those who are killing it have names and addresses.”

~Utah Phillips

Inb4 some pedant quibbles that "the planet itself is not dying." Yeah, but we and our fellow creatures are. It should be understood that is what Mr. Phillips meant.

He should be arrested (at the very least).

Anything that moves Canada towards food independence/security is a step in the right direction.

No one should trust the USA for ANYTHING at this point.

Rick Hillier was also trying to encourage Canadians not to boo their closest neighbour’s anthem.

Rick Hillier can fuck himself with a rusty pipe.

Except on December 4th 2024. There is hope it was not a one-off.

Just think how fast it would move with AFFORDABLE electric vehicles and cheap solar panels to charge them. Instead we get tariffs and more oil/gas pipelines, and oppression of people trying to prevent the pipelines. That is Canada's response to global warming.

I deal with right wing wackos all the time, my family is full of them. I welcome having my perspectives challenged, it is an opportunity to perfect my arguments. Most of what they say is scientifically disproven quite easily, but since the right generally doesn't believe in science, it doesn't matter to them. Reality still wins in the end no matter how much they (and right wing media) deny it. See global warming as an example.

Reality trends left.

My U.S. relatives: "But isn't Canada a Socialist country!?!?!?"

yeah, right....

Nothing shows true commitment to fighting climate change like blocking affordable EVs and solar panels... and continuing to build pipelines and persecute land defenders.
