Kristi Noem, former ICE head & 51st state pusher, is helping a BC mining company “globalize” their market. But we know that means — using her Trump contacts to rip and ship BC minerals for US munitions. US corporate takeover of our resources is how we become the 51st state.
@TigoODonnell But what about just good character writing? That’s what’s missing. The lack of “lore” is less a Parson thing and more emblematic of this current age of postmodern horror: introduce concept, live in the world of concept, don’t try to explain why. But, the characters need more.
Not only that, but oil production in AB last year has never been higher; meanwhile, 10k people were laid off.
This is a sunset industry guided by cut throat corporations
Steven Guilbeault on the Conservatives' 'keep it in the ground' delusion: "If you look at the numbers, oil production in the oil sands increased more rapidly under the Justin Trudeau government than it did under the Stephen Harper government."
Difficult but essential reporting by @thatemfagan, who poured over court documents to find details that Saanich police would not provide in Canada’s most prolific voyeurism case.

Less than a month ago, Osborne declared that the province “will push forward” on the OPS in the face of opposition.
“We need to have these services in place,” she said.

MLA @JValeriote74 questions why US billionaires have been allowed to buy up BC farmland — often without the intention to farm:
“This government has proudly promoted the ‘Buy BC’ label, but it looks like that moniker also applies literally to BC farmland.”

Metro Vancouver transit workers vote 99% in favour of strike action

BC Hydro CEO says AI data centres must “show how they’re good for BC” in order to bid for power:
“We have up to 400 megawatts saved for AI data centres over the next two years.”
MLA Rob Botterell questions why BC is the only province in Canada to allow the sale of tobacco in pharmacies.
He then calls on the govt to follow the UK’s lead and ensure the next generation of British Columbians is not legally able to buy tobacco anywhere.

BC LEG: The Green Party and NDP, who both approved flooding the streets of British Columbia with "safe supply" synthetic heroin, are debating whether or not to completely ban tobacco and nicotine. I can't even.
