Ksi Lisims LNG is no "nation-building project". & it's not Indigenous-owned. It's a Trojan Horse for the same Wall Street private equity giants buying up 🇨🇦 real estate, telecoms & energy infrastructure.

I often read on social media that Germany just replaced nuclear with coal.
That is evidently not the case.
Coal generation is down by more than 60% over last decade with nuclear now gone.
However, Germany could have phased out coal by now if it had kept nuclear generation going at 2011 levels.

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

Public healthcare is not going to survive without public oversight.
There's no reason for it. Just that the public that benefits from it isn't allowed to see what goes on under the hood. We're prevented from looking out for our own interests by people who insist they're entitled to do it for us.
