You boosted my protest sign where I called Canada Action LIARS for their cross-Canada “LNG will reduce global emissions” ad campaign. Now please boost this!

It turns out after immediate questions were raised last year, the Canada ad regulating agency agreed in January the campaign was misleading. But all decisions are CONFIDENTIAL and there is NO enforcement! The decision was finally leaked.
Spread the word!

Calling 311? Bill 96 now requires Montrealers to 'attest' they can get English services

Residents who wish to speak with the City of Montreal by calling 311 now have to attest they can receive services in English because of Bill 96. New provisions of the language law came into effect Thursday.

Hey, Canadians, potentially good news: cbc.ca/news/business/tax-filin…

(I just helped my 16-year-old with their first tax return, what a PITA, since there were only 4 relevant numbers, all displayed on their T4 from their summer job.)

If ultra-wealthy industry front groups begging money from governments like #PathwaysNetZero want a shred of credibility they need to answer whether they agree with #Scotiabank (no innocents themselves on all this) or not. Every Albertan deserves an answer.

Scotiabank says royalty credits for well cleanup would damage industry’s reputation

CALGARY - Scotiabank is warning that the Alberta government’s plan to give oil companies a royalty credit for cleaning up their old wells could damage the reputation of Canada’s oil and gas industry.

^{Toronto Star}

Here's the prime #OrphanOilwell problem as I understand it: #BigOil (which has all the $ in the world) "sells off" spent oilwells to small companies going bankrupt & who could *never* afford cleanup in the first place. This from an industry claiming to produce #EthicalOil.

It's the same bunch of crooks that'd like us to trust them on #CCS and think Canada should give them billions. Just ask the enormous liars at
#PathwaysNetZero.

Obviously it should go without saying that any #BigOil company that sold their #OrphanWells to companies all knew couldn't pay for the cleanup should not only not get one cent of this 20 billion but no federal #CCS $ either. Same with oil companies that took #CERB then turned around and offered #ShareBuyBacks to investors. Fool me once...

Only one *MAKING* money is Galen Weston... not the farmers that raise the animals, plant/grow/harvest the crops, not the people transporting the animals, or the crops... just Galen Weston.

But, please, continue to try to justify gouging Canadians. thestar.com/business/2023/02/0… #cdnpoli

The CAQ would want a woman removed for talking about issues pertaining to, you know, women?

Or, BIPOC removed for talking about issues pertaining to BIPOC?!
