Governments are ELECTED by the citizens, so of course the citizens are responsible. This is an absurd take.

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

It doesn’t, full stop. Here in BC we are now just waiting for a an unmitigated disaster due to tanker traffic in the Hecate Strait.

I have no issue with Germany , but I have huge issues with tankers going through the Strait of Hecate. Shame on the Liberals.

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)

How is this big news for the BC economy? Maybe short term while the build the new pipeline, but there are no economic benefits to BC. We’ll just be paying for the damage done to the Hecate Strait. This is horrible news for BC and the planet.

This is horrible news for the people of BC. We once again are being sold out by the Liberals to cater to spoiled Albertans. It didn’t work before and it won’t work now, all they are doing is emboldening the whiney asshats.

As a BC resident I am furious about this. Allowing tankers into the Hecate Strait is an impending disaster. Shame on Carney, the fake environmentalist.

You think 1 day of protest is going to bring change? lol Maybe try shutting down your country. Block highways, ports, train, airports. The only thing Republicans care about is money, so make it hurt!! Making a cute sign and protesting for an afternoon is fun, but it isn’t going to bring change.

Your attitude sucks. The citizens of the US elected him, it’s up to the US to stop him. Shame on YOU and every US citizen who voted for him, didn’t vote, or has the same attitude that you do. You are ALL complicit!

The same can be said about any political/electoral system. The truth is that the majority of people in the US are inherently selfish, racist and misogynistic. That goes for the folks who voted for Trump, and the folks who couldn’t be bothered to vote.

I was alive for the first moon landing (although I was a toddler), and I really don’t get the excitement about sending people to a giant rock orbiting the earth. I’m not being contrary, I legitimately don’t understand why people are so excited about it.

This is a convenient excuse so you don’t have to look at the reality of what is happening in the US. If they had the technology, the Democrats wouldn’t have won a single election in 2025/2026.

Then explain why all the elections called since the Presidential election are going to Democrats? If the Republicans had the ability to manipulate the votes, why wouldn’t they do it for all elections? It would much easier on a much smaller scale.

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.

Jeff Bezos is worth $220 billion. After building that fortune from overworking and exploiting his own workers, Bezos is now developing a fund to acquire manufacturing companies and automate them. Why do we always hear about immigrants taking jobs when the oligarchs are actually to blame?
