  • Just because someone is on Tiktok or Instagram or any other social media doesn’t delegitimize them.

    She was a reporter for the CBC, press release journalist who worked in the actual parliament to report on things like bills, laws, debates and budgets. She also had a fact check segment on CBC. But the Conservatives got tired of all their lies and bullshit being revealed and called out and put pressure on the last Trudeau minority government to get her canned.

    Just because she sounds pissed off, and rightly so, doesn’t delegitimize her arguments either. Everyone should be pissed off. It’s not rage bait when the facts are so fucking outrageous.

    And what other media should we turn to? She’s an independent journalist. Every other news media is either owned by a conservative fascist media baron or backed by one. She’s as real as it gets.

    And you should get with the times, old man, people get their news from social media now. Get with it.







  • Right, so let’s must not make any effort and throw our trash in the rivers and the lakes and jack up oil production and greenhouse gas emissions because why the fuck not. Right?

    What a shit mentality.

    And you do understand the reason why these countries pollute so much is because all our industries moved their production there, thanks to globalization efforts, for the very reason that they lack costly environmental protection like we have here in our western countries, right? We’re in large part responsible for that pollution.

    I’d prefer we do our part instead and be a leading example that we can be proud of instead of nihilistic assholes.








  • I’m sorry, but that is such a shitty take. So because we’re not the biggest polluters, we shouldn’t make any effort to curb our emissions? Even if climate scientists are warning us that right now we need to drastically cut oil production, we shouldn’t take any initiatives if no one else does?

    What the fuck man?

    Canada is in the top 10 largest emitters of greenhouse gasses in the world. In 2023 we produced approx 800 million tons of of carbon emissions. Just behind Saudi Arabia. (Source)

    Also take a look at this chart from the government of Canada about greenhouse gas emissions from large facilities and look how many are from Alberta. Especially red ones. The biggest emittors are located mostly in Alberta and southern Ontario. We can take a guess at what industries those are related to.

    Per capita, we emit way too much pollution per person.

    Also we had an engagement to reach certain goals according to the Paris Climate Change Agreement and instead of following through, we basically told everyone we’d stop trying. Along with many other countries. Those goals were important to avoid a drastic increase of global temperatures. And look at where we are now. There’s essentially no turning back. The climate is going to be fucked for good and we need to brace to deal with the consequences.
