Viewer: "Good arguments, but EVERYONE is backing a pipeline. Why are you swimming against the current?" Me: 👀 Uh, data, evidence, expert opinion? #ableg #pipeline Pipeline Skeptics Missing in Action as Canada Doubles Down on Oil Exports youtu.be/SBCDeVZ63as
Technically, that would be Obama, who presided over the explosive growth of fracking and the shale sector from 2009 to 2017.
President Trump is keeping his promises and then some! He said he would make America the dominant energy producer in the world, and that is EXACTLY what we are doing.

Canada’s Oil Faces China, EU Hurdle: Industrial Carbon Tax Reform Needed Both China, EU have industrial carbon taxes. Alberta produces heavy crude with a very high average of 66 kg CO2e/b. Wanna export more? Lower O&G emissions. #ableg @MarkJCarney youtu.be/GWlS0cQ7Qac

One word: treaties.
And just like that, all the talk of the need to build a pipeline was just that: talk. The idea of needing indigenous UNANIMITY is ridiculous and Canada will never achieve its potential if it lets random communities have veto power. No other community has that kind of power.
No, the clownvoy protest was not "peaceful." Resist the revisionism. pressprogress.ca/it-was-violent…

This video needs more love. It's my off-the-cuff view of electrifying Canada's economy to become more globally competitive. It's the antidote to the oil/gas fever dream infecting our politicians and business leaders. Just say no to a pipeline, Canada. youtu.be/pG3p2WZ_ERA
So…. Not the carbon tax?
It's more of the same under Mark Carney... Stats Canada reported that food prices continue to spike. Prices for fruit, vegetables, feed, & other food products increased by 1.2% month over month. These aren’t luxury goods, these are staples, The Liberal government is again…
WOW.. after the mega surge in May ahead of the rules change on 1-June, who expected that June would still see another 14GW?!
Mac and his dad Paul are from Calgary. I interviewed Paul years ago and have stayed connected. Interviewed him again when he volunteered for the resistance in Ukraine. I know how proud he was that Mac joined him. This is an amazing you man. Please support the Hughes if you can.
Over 20 days ago, Canadian volunteer Mac Hughes was wounded while courageously defending Ukraine. Today, he stood up on his own for the first time since the injury. His progress is hard-won and inspiring. Please continue supporting Mac and his father, Paul (@HugsUkraine), as…
Yes, an industry with a very good chance of hitting global peak demand in 2029, with decline setting in during the early 2030s. @SecretaryWright is Edward John Smith, captain of the Titanic, and proud of it, apparently.
The United States CREATED the oil industry, and today, we’re LEADING it.
Commercial Heat Pumps Work in Europe, Asia. What’s Canada Waiting For? The global economy is electrifying, but Canada is being pressured by @ABDanielleSmith and oil/gas industry to remain stuck in 20th century. Do we want to be competitive or not? youtu.be/3IrseduUWHM
