Not the girl boss you want us to believe Ms. Weiss to be. Also, stop being a genocide apologist or whatever it is you think you are doing.

No desire for this nonsense here. Get this discourse off #CBC. Why are we still "both sidesing" this?

Listen to the former Keystone XL executive here. Straight up climate change denial, fine with trampling on Indigenous rights, wants existing environmental policy undone.

I'm tired of politicians miraculously finding their spine once they are out of power and unable to do anything.
McKenna was in cabinet and totally silent while Trudeau did all these same things.

“Why does anyone think they'll uphold any of their side of any bargain that is made? They did nothing other than fight every single policy, and there are none of these policies now in any serious way.” My take on oilsands.

What counts for polite decorum at UBCM during a genocide and selling off resources to oligarchs, I suppose.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Damning rationale for yesterday’s approval of Ksi Lisims LNG… No consent from the majority of affected First Nations.
The project is wholly-owned by Western LNG, a Texas-based company that is 100% backed by US private equity. The project has major investment from Trump’s billionaire backers #bcpoli

When CP asked Eby about the U.S. investors behind Ksi Lisims LNG: “Those investors, regardless of their political affiliation, could invest anywhere…They could bring their money to other places."

“Elbows Up” Eby paraded US liquor boycott, but rolls out the red carpet for MAGA billionaires. #bcpoli
