When is our #ableg Premier going to start talking about protecting Canadian #oilsands workers and less about pie in the sky pipelines "North, South, East and West" that will only benefit shareholders, not workers. #ymm #yyc boereport.com/2025/10/23/c...

And if that wasn't enough, #oilsands companies now expect the #cdnpoli to subsidize any industry attempts to mitigate their environmental and social footprint. How quickly they forget that it was the Liberal party that spent $30b buying their last pipeline. share.google/p74gFVNMg1Hp...

Sector layoffs have been part of the ugly truth in the #oilsands for ten years +. Mergers, acquisitions & "cost efficiencies" have led to thousands of layoffs and the hollowing of the business. Human impact is real as Ft Mc homes are worth half what they were in 2024.

Isn't it funny how #oilsands corporations are rewarded by the investing class. The #ableg really needs to reconsider their benefit as they nationalize and defer billions of dollars of environmental, social, and Indigenous liabilities. share.google/KwC6gRKDYWVo...

We had fun releasing the Fort McKay #Métis Nation history last week. The book covers the Nation's founding in the mid-nineteen century right to their battles with #oilsands developers, and the MNA in the modern era.
