Canada should be focused on nation-building. Instead we are getting sucked into a needless pipeline war to appease Moe and Danielle Smith.
If the PM tries to kill the tanker ban without consulting BC premier Eby or First Nations he will be in for the fight of his life.
And he will lose.

I work in the building trades in BC. I work on O&G projects, pipelines, LNG plants, and in refineries. It pays my bills, provides for my family, and allows us to live a decent life.
Even I don't want another goddamn oil pipeline.

I doubt my words will have an effect but i do feel compelled to say: anyone going to Tumbler Ridge to cover this, please, please be considerate to the community, please be sensitive. This is a truly tiny and quiet place, people are going to be shook up hard about this
Tumbler Ridge is a small planned resource community, a winding 90 minute drive from the nearest city of at least 10,000 people.
A massive number of people are going to descend there tomorrow.
May those that arrive have respect and grace for the unimaginable grief.

This was one of the bosses' explicit goals in getting Trump elected - crush the strong Biden era labor market in order to discipline workers and make them submit to abuse and exploitation. That, not burrito taxi prices, was the actual economic stakes of the 2024 election

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate โ overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.
