4/ Don’t fall for flashy ads. “Scrap the Cap” isn’t about protecting jobs or Albertans—it’s about shielding corporate profits at public expense. Canadians deserve accountability from big oil. Let’s fight for fairness and a sustainable future. 🌍💪 #GreyCup #ClimateTruth

2/ Without emissions caps, the costs of pollution fall on taxpayers. Cleaning up orphan wells alone is estimated to cost over $1B by 2025, much of it covered by public funds. Meanwhile, oil giants like Cenovus rake in billions in profits and dodge responsibility. #AxTheCap
