This isn't new (as in, there have been a few stories in recent years). I've been meaning to make a database of what is publicly known about the US Dept of Defense buying up Canadian critical minerals. I recall stories from Quebec and NWT as well ...

The Trump administration recently bought stakes in two Vancouver mining companies and has shown interest in a project north of Prince George.

How the materials would be used is unclear — but it’s unlikely to be green energy.

They’ve all explained clearly they don’t support the far right or the far left, so I’m sure the cops will meet them in the middle.

I found the easiest way to leave Instagram was to finally call out a bunch of the people I follow who have trash takes, and then delete the app so I don’t have to hear there response, which I am too afraid to read.

Fuck man, if the left was as organized as Hamas, and willing to use violence, the US would be a better place.

weve appeased his military spending reqs, debased our values to support Israel, we’ve cut off China as a partner, we’ve let him fuck our auto/softwood etc industry, let them incarcerate Canadians in ice facilities, abandoned climate action… got him right where we want him.

Activism alone can dissipate radical energy and be counterproductive.

talia jane ❤️‍🔥 @taliajane.bsky.social · 2d

but because so few spend any time actually analyzing how protests function, they see viral moments and seek to replicate them, believing this to be what solidarity is.

would they replicate the shadowy figures throwing gas cans back? no. they don’t want to get their hands dirty.
