I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

The details in the order attempting to rename Lake Ontario show it’s an attempt to take more of the water. It’s one piece in a general attempt to take over Canada and all our resources.

I bought Canadian made battery-powered pruning shears. Benchmark, a Home Hardware house brand made by Canadian company MaxTech. Which Canadian brands are you supporting, and how? We should all share tips and use the hashtag #BuyCanadian. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxtech...

A summary of the demands that triggered Canada to walk away from the trade negotiations. And will likely threaten renewal of CUSMA, which the US clearly doesn't want to renew. These items aren't about trade, it's about control that threatens Canada as a nation. #tariffs #Canada #CUSMA #USCMA

One way to support Canadian businesses is to pay cash. Using any major credit card supports US owned credit card companies. It also helps businesses because when you pay cash they don't have to pay transaction fees for each purchase to the credit card companies. Some will give you a discount too.

For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.

Airbus is putting its data beyond America's reach. They will run on Scaleway, a French provider, instead. A US law lets American authorities request data held by US firms, including data stored in servers outside the country. Europe is slowly trying to lean less on American technology.
