You, sir, are robbing poor Pierre Poilievre of his favourite words! How is he supposed to appeal to our baser instincts and obscure a lack of real policy without recourse to such a usefully ambiguous term?

He’s a well-known Putin apologist - so not surprised he’s on a panel with Southern. Also seems to have some “interesting“ views about Epstein, and nearly got in a fight with Jim Acosta at substack party in DC after WHC Dinner. So totally normal “expert” to have at the web summit.

Exactly. It’s no different than fascist Putin presenting hockey gold medalist of the 2018 Winter Olympics Ivan Telegin with the Order of Friendship during an award ceremony at the Kremlin.

Guess BC should demand that Alberta and Saskatchewan not stand in the way as we build some massive wind farms in Canada’s prairies. After all, it‘s the best place to get our wind energy to market.

Ashamed? Of this guy? But he looks so respectable and statesmanlike, out there visiting with his favourite constituents! And you never hear him complain or sound angry or petulant. Oh, and he’s just brimming with thoughtful solutions to complex policy challenges! PM material, that’s for sure!

Things You Can Do To Support Ukraine🇺🇦 Idea 8: Keep informed about the state of the war. Daily updates, analysis, and maps by @thestudyofwar.bsky.social offer clear-eyed perspective, highlight 🇺🇦‘s tenacity (and 🇷🇺‘s mendacity), and underline the importance of sustaining serious Western military aid.

Example 11: BCI has ~$62.00M in Procter & Gamble Co (P&G), the US consumer goods behemoth with brands like Gillette, Always, Crest and Tide. Its ongoing activities in 🇷🇺 include 2 factories making razors + soap. This helps keep fascist Russia’s economy afloat by creating jobs + essential goods, and…

(continued) This @shiftaction.bsky.social report rightly highlights the climate + fiduciary malpractice of investing in gas pipelines. “By continuing to fund gas companies, pension managers are deepening the climate crisis and putting retirement security at risk.”

And firms will pay even more in taxes to the Kremlin from 2025 onwards. “Changes to the 🇷🇺 Tax Code will see the corporate profit tax rate rise from 20% to 25%, beginning in 2025, marking a key step in Moscow’s strategy to instrumentalise Western business presence to secure additional revenues.” 4/x

“Despite 🇷🇺’s widespread atrocities and over 150,000 documented war crimes in 🇺🇦, far too many Western companies still operate in 🇷🇺, bolstering its war economy, jeopardising int’l law, and undermining their govt’s foreign policies.

Example 8: BCI has ~$39.01M in PepsiCo, the global food + drinks maker that continues to do big business in fascist 🇷🇺 via subsidiaries. Pepsi has 19 factories and around 20,000 employees, and pays massive taxes to the Kremlin ($135M in 2023) - this helps fund weapons to wage war on 🇺🇦, plus hybrid…

Your daily reminder that 🇨🇦 public sector pension plans invest your retirement savings in firms that continue business in/with Russia, thus financing its war in 🇺🇦. For instance, BCI has $$ in refineries in 🇨🇳+🇮🇳+🇹🇷, the 3 biggest importers of 🇷🇺 oil. energyandcleanair.org/weekly-snaps...
