B.C. Premier David Eby is clearly beyond frustrated with Danielle Smith's pipeline dreams threatening the B.C. economy.

In a fiery statement, he called her out directly stating...

"This is not the Danielle Smith show!"

We’re also taught critical thinking skills, which come with reading skills and the ability to engage in rational debate and thought. Apparently the person jumping to conclusions or just ignorant of facts fits the 54% in this report 😉

If you drive a 2025/2026 Tesla or still use X, there really isn't an excuse. You really are just an asshole that looks the other way.

Curly & Moe are up to it again. Using Moe’s logic, there is no Alberta oil & gas, it’s Canada’s oil & gas. Works for me. As part owner, I say, clean up all the orphan wells and build solar farms and wind turbines. Time to begin weaning the two stooges

Have to admit I don’t like to see human suffering in most forms, but I do tend to internally jump up and down in delight when MAGA voters hit the find out stage of their dumbass decision
