Uspol, genocide
In case you're wondering whether "political violence" is escalating in the U.S.A. right now, of *course* it is as we move into an era of concentration campus and domestic military deployments. But both domestic genocides and purges as well as political violence targeted at individual prominent figures has been a *constant* throughout American history, from gun duels fought between political rivals to massacres of Native Americans in order to steal their land, to pogroms against Catholics, to literal wars on local Black success and political participation, all dating back before the American Revolution to the beginning of colonization. Thanks to Wikipedia, here's a *small sampling* where I attempted to whittle things down to about one event per decade before recent times.

Carney has announced LNG Canada will be expanded to its full potential. It will produce as much GHG emissions as 75% of the entirety of the province of British Columbia does right now. Yes, that's right. BC produced 61 million tons of GHGs in 2021, LNG Canada will produce 46 million tons at full power.
I am glad communities and health professionals are demanding a full inventory of the health impacts of this infrastructure. I hope that will also include the directly attributed heating from this plant to the increase in likelihood for wildfires, heat waves, and all the rest with all those health impacts across BC and the globe.
This is a gigantic project. Canada is a gigantic Climate Problem.
