There’s a reason Steve Bannon told MAGA supporters that the path to “save the nation” is through local politics. They know: local politics is where deep change can happen.

Dwight is a rural landowner in Two Hills, #Alberta.
12 years ago, he was forced to host a gas well on his land, on the condition that the industry fully close and clean it up when the well stopped producing.
That never happened.

Today is a historic setback for climate action in Canada. DSF vehemently opposes this proposed pipeline and calls on @mark-carney.bsky.social to do better. Stand firm on environmental standards and advance Canada’s clean energy transition. Not Danielle Smith's fossil fuel fantasy.
