My latest in @nationalobserver.com where I argue we shouldn’t be giving government money to oilsands companies while they’re milking the cash cow and exporting their profits. #oilsands #cdnpoli #abpoli https://t.co/miUwk2dQDs

My latest National Observer piece where I argue that Venezuela provides no reason for the gigantic West Coast pipeline Pierre Poilievre pushed in his letter to Mark Carney. https://t.co/5OQRWnN9xt

@Merlice1 @macleans No they have it exactly right. 2 or 3 billion for expansion capacity to tie into the million a day spare on Capline makes so much more sense than building a grassroots line with too much capacity for the future.

I have a piece in @macleans explaining why the oilsands boom ended and isn't coming back. And why Trump tariffs have nothing to do with that.

My latest in the Canada’s National Observer where I argue that since no oil pipeline is going to be built anyway that supporting Keystone XL is a brilliant move by Carney. #cdnpoli https://t.co/cxNIAqpq6S

Very excited to have my and Sara Burant’s translation of the Paul Éluard 22 section poem L’Univers-Solitude from Éluard’s 1932 collection La Vie immédiate in World Poetry Review. https://t.co/rmY2IZYlfI

@rossbelot The new Imperial Oil is essentially a collection of operating plants run out of “global business centres.” That is, not run from Canada or by Canadians - the clearest sign yet that Cda’s century-and-a-half-long oil story is drawing to a close. https://t.co/BFkLOb1xlo

[ross belot @rossbelot]

my latest….oil is going to decline but the oilsands will still keep producing. Stop talking about pipelines and figure how to do more with what we have. #Cdnpoli #oilsands #ABpoli #TMX https://t.co/Zt1GbXlXwv

My latest National Observer piece suggesting the lack of leadership from our political leaders is doing a great disservice to our oil workers https://t.co/SHm1XmkRoW

[ross belot @rossbelot]

my latest piece on why this country needs some real nation building vision https://t.co/jOH80ykmgr

[ross belot @rossbelot]

The Petro-Bros are Selling You Out by Kamyar Razavi https://t.co/2OcTCLBmac very interesting piece on why we don’t address oil and gas emissions, I’m quoted in spots.

[ross belot @rossbelot]

A few friends and I authored an op-ed in the Calgary Herald calling for real discussion on climate change action by all sides https://t.co/28C1bNmFQM @AJWVictoriaBC

[ross belot @rossbelot]

My latest on how Carney and Smith seem to have lost the economic fundamentals in the whole decarbonized oil discussion. #oilsands #abpoli #cdnpoli https://t.co/rI2LLPPxm6

[Maclean’s Magazine @macleans]

Pierre Poilievre has proposed large-scale oil sands investments. But Ross Belot, a former oil exec, says it's a bad idea—because production will decline no matter what Canada does. https://t.co/wdrp4uCJ9i
