So this is percolating and the results so far are not surprising.
I'd vote NO, for the following reasons:
- oil demand continues to decline and risk is high we'll end up with an expensive underutilized pipeline. Therefore high risk we'll end up subsidizing any private entity that builds this thing.
- why would we invest public dollars to support infrastructure for a product where 75% of the profit leaves Canada? There has to be a net benefit, beyond steel sales and jobs, for this project to be considered.
- Indigenous land rights must be respected. They will be left with the rusting pipeline decades in the future, and it's impact on the land.
- the B.C. government must also have a final vote as they have to give up land and provide support.
- we don't need additional oil tankers on our west coast.
- and most importantly, with this MOU, Canada pretty much declared we aren't serious about protecting the environment or fighting climate change. We're oil whores. Harsh but....

It’s odd that that happened, I’ve removed batteries a long time ago (these laptops have 3 separate batteries), and while there was some corrosion from one of them I cleaned it all up and it worked for several years.
I suspect something in power suppply (which is built into the laptop), so gonna have to take it apart which is annoying to say the least (brittle plastics, flimsy cables).

Trump on Wednesday (January 7, 2026) signed an executive order suspending U.S. support for 66 organisations, agencies and commissions
following his instructions for his administration to review participation in and funding for all international organisations,
including those affiliated with the United Nations.
Most of the targets are UN-related agencies, commissions and advisory panels that focus on climate, labour and other issues that the Trump administration has categori…

'The DOJ claimed Richman’s emails & text messages show Comey lied about using him as a conduit to convey information to reporters about the investigations. But in an emergency filing on Friday night, Richman argued that the DOJ had obtained his files in violation of his constitutional rights, and that it should not be permitted to use them in any new attempt to re-indict Mr. Comey.'

Ecological myopia: The blind spot holding back climate action
Global debate about how to navigate the climate crisis often centers on high-level pledges and whether national targets are being met. Yet focusing on these technical outcomes obscures a deeper problem that keeps climate action falling short.

Electric cargo ships crossing oceans could be just 3 years away. CATL's marine division has already supplied batteries for 900 vessels and is making big strides with sodium-ion tech.
Falling battery prices are finally making long-range electric shipping economically viable—a huge step toward zero-carbon ocean freight.
