Good read from @aleach.ca on the oil market and the case—or lack thereof—for a new pipeline. Puts some good context into the talk of Keystone XL revival or Ford's west-east pipeline study.

Sorry, this wasn't super clear when I posted this: it's a 2020 story. But it's emblematic of ICE's approach to managing the people they abduct, and underscores how they can exploit their control over people without status.

So, @theglobeandmail.com wants us not to be angry with the cement-headed anti-vaxxers who deliberately reject scientific truths and wreck our herd immunity to measles, and instead to treat them “gently” and “with compassion.”
Hogwash.

How, exactly, are these “illegal immigrants” able to buy houses other Americans can’t afford?
