We went to COP30 with open hearts to speak up for the children we love - a generation living a crisis they did not cause. We pushed for a world beyond coal, oil, and gas. A world powered by clean energy. A world where forests stand strong and nature flourishes.

An oil&gas company called MAGA (Make Alberta Great Again) isn't paying its bills to landowners?! And those landowners aren't even allowed to refuse wells on their properties? Seems like satire, but it's all too real.
