Liberals have been very concerned about mis- and disinformation in recent years, so when Mark Carney says carbon capture will allow for “decarbonized” oil, we should be clear that he’s engaging in active disinformation about climate change to please Danielle Smith and the Alberta oil industry.

So Doug Ford and Danielle Smith are going to build a pipeline through the fragile lowlands of James Bay to a deep water port that doesn't exist.
Ford won't build roads to reach Indigenous communities but he's going to build a pipeline so oil can be shipped to other markets.

Mark Carney and Doug Ford pushed through legislation to override Indigenous land rights.
This is not "nation building."
It's about getting the riches of the Ring of Fire from the delicate peatlands of the James Bay lowlands.

She was 13 when she stood up to the government's discrimination against Indigenous kids.
She launched the largest youth rights movement in CDN history.
