Bari Weiss tried to say the 60 Minutes report wasn’t ready because it didn’t advance the story, so she censored it, thereby advancing the story and elevating the reporting into something not just vital, but viral. What a news genius

There's a bit of data in here that I think will fly under the radar for most people. According to the AER, the oilsands used 257 BILLION litres of freshwater in 2024 alone. That's a 12% jump in freshwater use intensity from 2023. And that's without CCUS in the picture. #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli #CCUS
