Driving in the wrong direction: why NZ’s oil consumption is at a 5-year high
New Zealand’s electricity generation now accounts for only 5% of emissions, but oil use in transport is on the rise, outweighing the shift to electric vehicles.

Both provincial NDP opposition leaders in Alberta and Saskatchewan have expressed concern on Lewis’s win… but they didn’t mention that Wab Kinew, NDP Premier of Manitoba, and the most popular Premier in the country, was right there on stage.

'You Can’t Live Without Us': How Big Oil Pivoted from Climate-friendly Messaging to Normalise Dependence on Fossil Fuels  
Four of the world’s biggest oil and gas companies have spent the last four years systematically shifting away from climate-friendly advertising to push a new message: fossil fuels are here to stay, a report has found.  Campaign group Clean Creatives analysed 1,859 communications from BP, Shell, ExxonMobil, and Chevron published between 2020 and 2024, spanning paid advertisements on Facebook, YouTube, […]

Dear Liberal partisans: “we can’t do anything about this chaos Trump is creating” is a bad look, and also completely untrue and a cop out.
Things you can do *today*
1) food and gas price controls
2) food and gas rebates/grants
3) EV, solar and wind mandates and grants
4) direct investment in electrification of fossil fuel transport and infrastructure, today. Move all existing projects on the books up to start asap.
These are just some of the things that could directly and immediately help Canadians through #theAmericanFascists oil wars.
Acting like it is 1975 and we just have to stick it out because there is no alternative is a cop out and makes you complicit.
Either we are different, or we are along for the sick ride. Which would you prefer?
