Canada’s worst case oil/gas scenario is a taxpayer’s nightmare
Industry cheerleaders are too busy pimping for more gas, more LNG and more crude oil to bother thinking about how it might all go horribly wrong...for Canadian taxpayers.

Kristen Welker spent her show hammering President #Biden for accidentally getting names wrong and asking if Biden should step aside, and then moments later she called President Biden 'President Trump.'

Joe Biden's Climate Law Retooling Defunct Auto Factories To Build EVs, You're Welcome!

Went to the grocery store today in the middle of an extreme heat warning. 3 vehicles just idling in the parking lot, empty, to keep the AC pumping.
We’re hooped.

The media discovered, not long after news broadcasts suddenly began to need to make a profit, coincidentally, that a generally frightened populace will tend to believe anyone who sounds authoritative; especially if they're on tv.

If you didn’t know the Beaverton is satire, you’d be “yeah, that sounds right.” #cdnpoli https://www.thebeaverton.com/2024/07/liberal-party-watches-in-horror-as-french-centrists-fail-to-turn-fear-of-right-wing-maniacs-into-unending-political-power-for-themselves/

‘Weird interaction with a student. They keep coming up with weird “facts” (“Greek is a combination of four other languages”) that left me baffled. I said let’s look this stuff up together, and they said OK, I open a search bar, and they opened … Ch*tGPT. And I was like “this is not a search bar” and they were like “yes it is, you can search for anything in here”.

It's great the Tories are out, but 23.7% still voted for that hot mess. Why? And 14.3% voted for Farage's Racism Party. https://www.bbc.com/news/election/2024/uk/results #ukelection
Well, many things to be unhappy about with that exit poll, but never mind that, let's focus on the big picture: the Tories are getting absolutely creamed.
That's definitely something to celebrate.
So this is how it is now, I guess. 😡

Remember when Evan Dyer, CBC journalist, called out Postmedia?
SUN: "Former Indian diplomat Deepak Vohra cites "credible rumours" that sniffer dogs found cocaine on PMJT's plane."
DYER: "I was on that plane; present at both aborted & final departures. No 🇮🇳 agent or sniffer dog ever set foot on board. Postmedia did not send a reporter on this trip & relied on non-credible rumours.
This is a low for 🇨🇦 journalism. It’s embarrassing that it was published."
