When I started talking about Oligarchy, many people didn't understand what I meant.
Well, that's changed.
When the 3 wealthiest men in America sit behind Trump at his inauguration, everyone understands that the billionaire class now controls our government.
We must fight back.

Over 300,000 Albertans voted Liberal in the last election, yet first-past-the-post left them with just two seats. Does that seem democratic to you?
@MarkJCarney, as a proud Edmontonian, will you support proportional representation to ensure every Albertan's vote truly counts?
“I’m back home in Edmonton to declare my candidacy for leader of the Liberal Party and prime minister of Canada.”

Alberta has a premiere who supports oil and gas.
And nothing else.
Not her electorate, and not her country.
She’s been paid to destroy everything else.

ALT A set of grey blocks are stacked up in an increasingly complex pattern which is labelled "Human Civilisation". Near the bottom is a small block that if removed would bring the entire tower down. That small block is labelled "a stable climate".
someone shared the dec 2 report with me and it really did come off as biased. maybe there is reason?
Congress’ covid select committee, now under GOP control, announces its first convening: a roundtable next Tuesday with @DrJBhattacharya, @MartinKulldorff, @MartyMakary “to thoroughly examine the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Donald Trump isn’t the cause of what ails America. He’s the consequence. The real causes go back four decades. Let me explain. bit.ly/40cVl2U

Time for a new button? In 1970, I invented the Nixon Drinks Canada Dry button. It became an icon of Canadians resistance to US economic domination & grabbing our resources. As Trump daily threatens our sovereignty, is it time for a new button? @LindaMcQuaig @MaudeBarlow #cdnpoli

Whatever your views on today's events, we can't help but feel sadness that a government once elected with bold promises of transformational change now seems to be on its last tumultuous legs.
ALT A screenshot of a tweet from Justin Trudeau's verified Twitter account (@JustinTrudeau), dated September 21, 2015, at 5:09 PM. The tweet reads: "As Prime Minister, I’ll make sure the 2015 election will be the last under first-past-the-post system" and includes a link to "lpc.ca/ao3o" with the hashtag "#upfordebate". The tweet features a small profile photo of Justin Trudeau in a suit and tie.
thank you @ckuaradio @Yycdragonlady for playing Sam Roberts the CDn dream! i consider this a belated request for me: i hadn’t included ‘the’ when requesting it from Baba years ago, and got a replacement Sam Roberts tune. 💗 S-O-C-i-a-l-i-s-M !!!

#Ableg Fact
Since 2012, Alberta’s O&G sector LOST 36,200 jobs, a 21.3% reduction!
The biggest factor? The UCP’s $4.7 billion tax cut in 2019, which the sector used to accelerate automation, not create jobs
Stop blaming Trudeau for a non-existent “production cap”—blame the UCP!

What can Doughnut Economics learn from History?
@romankrznaric and I chatted about it at our kitchen table - and @longnow.org turned it into a fab little film. Check it out here: youtube.com/watch?v=FfUOs4ZJ…

Please share and take a minute to call the Premiers office at 780-427-2251. Her staff will take your message.
Remember to be polite and five short words should do it: “Premier, please pay your taxes!”

Oilsands & friends will complain loudly that it's unfair they need to reduce their emissions now like every other sector. Sorry we're in a fossil fuel climate crisis & 🇨🇦 has no chance of meeting its international obligations without your emissions going down. Do the work.
KJackson retweeted
And no - despite what they advertise - Canadian oilsands is not among the cleanest oil and gas in the world. In fact their emissions intensity is among the highest/worst in the world.
Good reminder from @wicklum_dan of how emissions intensive Canadian oil sands are compared to other oil exporters @ClimateInstit #cdnpoli

Elon Musk – the richest guy in the world – is allowed to pour zillions of dollars into Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
Does that sound like democracy to you?
We need to overturn Citizens United and move to the public funding of elections.

Fossil fuels were given over $7 TRILLION in subsidies last year: buff.ly/3P85KHU That's $19.2 billion per day,
$799 million per hour,
$13.3 million every minute.
The first step in addressing the problem is to stop funding it. #ActOnClimate
