I will find/read that CBC article.. count on it..... I will find/read that CBC article.. count on it, thanks<br /><br />I saw one this AM Edmonton Joirnal that I considered crafty, polished but well layered lipstick on the proverbial pig (apologies to all pigs.. but) & subtly littered with holes to the story, sly deflections, misdirections, and in short was a new version or flavour of horseshit salad <br /><br />https://t.co/ki1WlmPyEq<br /><br />Then there is this.. another astonishing article, yet one that rings true.. of Failure At Critical Judicial Tasks. You may be very familiar with the story and facts.. Its quite excellent, I learned a lot.<br /><br />https://t.co/kkzbh4eHdM<br /><br />Let me say or suggest this -.Any Benefits Agreements must not be secret. First Nations must insist such agreements are 100% transparent to not just First Nations, but to Canadians in general. The Chevron project - Kitimat LNG apparently has signed Benefits Agreements with numerous First Nations regarding the related & integral pipeline that runs parallel to the Coastal GasLink Pipeline, but slightly south. My understanding is one Benefits Agreement is with Wet'suwet'en Peoples.. Huh ? Signed by whom ? This specific info is not common knowlege.. or just another astounding sample of Media and Government and petroleum developers complicity, collusion .. or outright evasion & failed fiduciary responsibility..the salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-62048556444866266332020-02-26T07:23:41.521-08:002020-02-26T07:23:41.521-08:00Sal, I read an item on CBC's web site this mor...Sal, I read an item on CBC's web site this morning about the future of the Tar Sands post Teck/Frontier. The omissions indicated a popular narrative being spun that blames it all on Trudeau.<br /><br />Glossed over were facts that had nothing to do with this prime minister such as the glut of fossil energy that had caused the price of Athabasca bitumen to drop to less than half of what Teck needed to break even. <br /><br />There was no discussion of how Teck might finance the Frontier mine. Teck's entire market cap is barely half of the $20 billion needed for the project. The mine alone could have swallowed Teck whole.<br /><br />The item had a couple of quotes from a woman who works for an Ontario company that manages $2 billion in assets. She eagerly dumped on the feds. But there was no mention whatsoever about BlackRock with its $7 Trillion (USD) in assets recently disavowing high-carbon fossil energy and, in particular, coal and bitumen. Or JP Morgan's announcement that it was refusing to lend to high-carbon borrowers. Or how the insurance industry doesn't want to underwrite these ventures. Or why people of the caliber of Mark Carney and his contemporaries have been warning for several years that the world is exposed to a Carbon Bubble that could devastate markets and cause bankruptcies among the fossil energy companies and their most ardent investors. Not a word about climate change or how this will hammer carbon economies.<br /><br />It was "other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?" stuff. That's the CBC narrative. Now imagine the fairy tales being spun by PostMedia, the Globe and Mail and the rest of the corporate media cartel.<br /><br />What doesn't comport with the "blame Trudeau" narrative is simply omitted as though it doesn't exist. This is Canada's news media.

Refreshing ! Again though, I k..... excellent post ! Refreshing ! Again though, I keep coming back to such 'exemplars' .. and must say I will not be tolerant of those who insult or dismiss our exemplars. Any fool can deny deny deny or bluster like Trump or Jason Kenney, or spew word salads of aspirational propaganda. 'Raising Emissions To Lower Emmisions' .. Really ??? !!!!<br /><br />What do such fools say about what transpired in Australia ? Or the stupendous Antarctic ice shelf melting ? A brief list of undeniable events triggered or cascading due to climate change is needed. Just as we track mass shootings at schools or mass murders such as Anders Breivik in Norway 77 dead and 319 injured. How do we get past the Mainstream Conspiracy insanity & Pimpage of Alex Jones or a Rush Limbaugh, becoming multi-millionaires via toxic TV & Web entities ? <br /><br />How did Canada & our vaunted National Identity or Canadian Values somehow wander to where partisan pricks, peons, parasites like Ezra Levant, Andrew Scheer, Rex Murphy insult us with daily barrages of 'Ethical Oil', the 'Alberta Advantage' 'Energy Security' or Nation Building (a Trudeau fave)<br /><br />To me, the final assault, the Big Insult is the ass-talk of seperating from Canada.. and a scumbag like Jason Kenney and the mutts in his War Closet riding upon that flucked up wedge horseshit.. and dog whistling it constantly now. I thought this land was pretty intolerant of such dangerous grifters.. and kept them pushed off into their petty but truly dangerous enclaves or travelling medicine shows. That so much of Canadian Mainstream Media is recklessly, fully aligned & integrated with these career 'christian' idealogues, hacks, holier than thou taxpayer paid 'Rapture' parasites is shocking and unacceptable.. <br /><br />We have no inkling among Canada's general population, what extensive peat fires or the complete collapse of keystone species like the wild salmon will mean to Canada and the rest of the world.. nor do we comprehend fully, the ongoing political ignorance and indifference regarding methane escape. Instead we get 'Ethical' Tidewater' 'Nation Building' 'Reconciliation' 'World Class' 'Alberta Advantage' flung in our faces.. slogans and empty diversionary boasts about 'The Law Of The Land'. Try sustaining you or your family by taking a bite or a drink from The Law of the Land, or maybe you can breath it, hell, can you even trust it ? What if that Law lets Jason Kenney speculate with your Canada Pension or Old Age Security ? Your Healthcare, your Education System ? What then ? When its too late, when its a 'done deal' and you've been 'had' Alberta ? Lied to Canada ?the salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.com
