While our banker PM builds new pipelines, the UK is investing in green technologies. You are going the wrong way Carney.

Carney is selling every remaining asset that belongs to Canada, to the rentier class, so that we are paying rent and interest on them forever. This has already been done to our housing. Canadians need to stop and reverse this government, fast.

The Liberals’ pipeline is dividing Canada—and causing some Liberal MPs to run for the hills. And while Carney doubles down on new fossil fuel projects, he’s backsliding on the rights of Indigenous peoples while lining the pockets of the billionaire class, (1/2)

Alice Augusta Ball found the cure for leprosy at 23. She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24. Arthur Dean stole her research, stole it and renamed it from "The Ball Method" to "The Dean Method." It took 90 years before her original research papers were found and she got the credit due to her.

Dear Women’s USA Olympic Hockey Team — First, congratulations! Second: I drove race cars for 19 yrs & the amount of misogynistic crap I put up with in the garage was insane. The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team has now shown you their true colors. Believe them. They’re not friends of your team or women in general. I’m so tired of this misogyny in sports & everywhere else in American life, to be honest. The patriarchy sucks. Grow the fuck up or hand the keys over to the ladies. Maybe it’s time we drive.
