What will industrial carbon pricing cost the oil sands sector if the Canada-Alberta MOU moves forward?

Our latest research shows costs would be minimalβ€”just a Timbit per barrel if the price reaches $130/t in 2030.

It would be hard to blunder into a disaster faster than we currently are.

When Americans were asked to temporarily sacrifice going to their barbers so we could keep the morgues from overflowing, people with guns stormed the Michigan capitol.

This is the same as saying "we produce the most ethical heroine in the world. Buy from us!"

When in reality, we need to kick the habit, not find clean sources.

I forgot that part... We pay them to steal our data.

That's not only disingenuous. This is a *government study.* Saying they simply receive provincial funding is a choice that degrades the very notion of arm's length research.

But some of these authors have grown awfully comfortable with conflicts of interest, so this shouldn't be surprising. 5/

This is their plan. They want all your data.

Alberta eliminates funding for 119-year-old historical society A volunteer historical society that’s almost as old as Alberta itself is concerned the province’s history may go forgotten after its funding was eliminated.

Oil company shareholders will burn the world for their own profits if we let them.

Myles Gray's death had no single, definitive cause, pathologist tells public hearing | CBC News Dr. Matthew Orde said Myles Gray's 2015 death was most likely explained by cardiopulmonary arrest, complicated by police actions to restrain the man.

"Orde said the police actions involved pepper spray, blunt-force injuries, neck compression and handcuffing behind the back in a forced, face-down positioning.

It's difficult to weigh which factors may have played the greater role, he said."

IT WAS THE POLICE.

Every single video she makes about lead on this popular brand of β€œpremium” glass baby bottle gets swarmed with paid bots (from the company) commenting β€œit’s not a big deal”…

There is a constant push from authoritarian forces to silence those who speak up.

Progressives need a Sunday school. It's important to lobby for laws, but it's more important to do the work.

If the schools won't teach it, we need to. Kids need to understand the world if they are to navigate it.

This feels like a tipping point we are in no way prepared to deal with.

The uncomfortable truth.

The rich build barriers to keep us sick and miserable, then blame us for the walls they built.

Why are we speed-running several parallel global catastrophies at the same time?
