2025/11/22

Oil & Gas interests want to increase Canada's reliance on the United States - sabotaging Canadian sovereignty. So why is the Alberta Government talking about a west coast oil pipeline MOU with the Federal Government - especially since the economics of such a pipeline are terrible? Because the MOU on an imaginary pipeline is actually cover to weaken Canada's climate regulations and slow the growth of renewable energy - renewable energy that is Canada's best bet for continuing our sovereign...

2025/11/12

Mark Carney is due to announce another round of 'nation building' projects and likely to be among them is the Ksi Lisims liquefied natural gas (or LNG) project in British Columbia: the entity that will construct, own and operate the assets of the Ksi Lisims LNG project is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Texas-based Western LNG, funded by U.S. private equity firms with ties to the U.S. Administration. We discuss at length why LNG development is not nation building and actually harms our eco...

2025/11/08

To stop oil and gas lobbyists and wealthy interests (the REAL deep state) from undermining democracy and the environment we need to learn to use their strategies and mindset to democracy's advantage (every crisis is an opportunity) - without succumbing to apathy or scapegoats. We look at Budget 2025 and the government's 'climate plan' in terms of corporate influence.
