A reminder that Alberta's environment minister quietly removed the flaring limit through a Ministerial Order.

Why is the media consistently saying "energy," when they actually mean "oil and gas"?
"Alberta energy deal" rather than "Alberta oil and gas deal" etc.
This is obfuscation.
It serves to present these agreements as beneficial to all, rather than specifically beneficial to the oil and gas industry.

Now that the Carney-Smith MOU on pipelines is finally out in the open, remember: Alberta's tarsands haven't been Canadian-owned for years, and more than 70% of major tarsands shareholders are foreign entities.

Surely even Liberal supporters can see the pattern by now: The Alberta & Cdn govts tell anyone who will listen that Alberta/Canada has "the best environmental standards in the world." The reality is that they are not fit for purpose, not implemented, or not enforced.

These Karoline Leavitt "press conferences" are completely worthless propaganda full of shameless lies. They should be ignored by the media and all of us.
Q: You said that second strike was in accordance with the law of armed conflict, but the Navy's own manual says that firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime

LEAVITT: I would reiterate that the strike was conducted in accordance with the law of armed conflict

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
