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.

As the year comes to an end, I'm reposting some of the comics I made this year, including this ridiculous thing.
A six-panel comic. In the first panel, a yellow warbler says "Hey so I'm going to go out on a limb here." In panels two through five, the warbler hops along a long branch against a blue sky with clouds. In panel 6, it stops at the end of the branch and sings.

We cannot let workers pay the price for getting Canada off oil & gas — and as NDP leader, I’ll ensure they don’t. It’s Big Oil that’s sucked billions of dollars out of the ground in this country, and it’s Big Oil that must pay the price of getting us out of the mess that they've created for us all.
