“This is making people sick, so our governments can and should require these companies to use some of their record-breaking profits to clean up the mess they’ve made.”

Canadian tar sands pollution is up to 6,300% higher than reported, study finds

Call for companies to ‘clean up their mess’ as Athabasca oil sands emissions vastly exceed industry-reported levels

so my province has two bills in the works (I believe, I don’t think they’ve passed yet). One makes it so that all federal academic and research grants given to universities must be pre approved by the provincial government, so as to “ensure it lines up with provincial interests” (incidentally, I live in one of if not the most conservative provinces in Canada, which is also clinging to a dying oil economy)

the second bill would allow the provincial government to intervene into municipal affairs, such as bylaws, and remove anyone from municipal council (I think also maybe mayors but I’m unsure). Their reassurance for those concerned about the amount of power this gives them was that they probably wouldn’t use it that much

so that’s all kinda scary, and a reminder to Canadians that: the shit that is going on in the states can and will reach here. So please participate in the politics here.

If things go bad in the states, there’s gonna be a lot of people who need to come here, and we’re gonna have to step up on the world stage. But to do that we have to stop ourselves from sliding down that slope that the US has.

I know Canadian politics can seem small and boring compared to others, especially the US. I know a lot of people here feel apathetic towards our country. I know Canadian politics and news gets swallowed up by our neighbours a lot. But apathy is the democracy killer, and there are people in this country trying to make shit so much worse.

So if you have any elections coming up, vote in them. If you have a chance to make an impact, whether it be mailing your MP, volunteering, or whatever else, take it. We cannot afford to let our country and democracy deteriorate

I wish I was born in Alberta.

Every day I would drink Tim Horton's Coffee with my buds. Every night I would get into heated arguments about oil pipelines and the government. I would also be more likely to meet Michael J. Fox, Nathan Fillion and Chad Kroeger.
