"The US Is after our oil & gas" - Venezuelan President Maduro, September 10, 2025

If you are wondering why the #USA is attacking #Venezuela: it's the country with presumably the world's largest untapped #oil reserves. They do have more than

Toxic Wastewater From Oil Fields Keeps Pouring Out of the Ground. Oklahoma Regulators Failed to Stop It.
Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, is spewing from old wells. Experts warn of a pollution crisis spreading underground and threatening Oklahoma’s drinking water.

Canada, and Canadians, have indirect responsibility in the American invasion and destabilization of Venezuela.
Canada’s ongoing reliance and strong defense of the oil industry and actively working against things like a “Fossil fuel phaseout plan” make it part of the problem.
Canada, as a major oil player, setting an example of clear and inevitable transition, would have been a powerful diplomatic tool against this kind of war.
We are complicit.

Looks like May won't be voting for another Carney budget!
Prediction: This government will fall before Canada Day 2026.
Carney will become one of the shortest-term Prime Ministers in Canadian history.

“But when I look at the Port of Prince Rupert, a lot of those issues don’t exist there because it is right on the ocean.”
Flatlanders...
Dear Premier Smith. Consult a map.
Prince Rupert is not “on the Ocean” any more than Calgary is “in the Rocky Mountains”.
It is around the same distance from Calgary to Banff as it is from Prince Rupert to the northwest tip of Haida Gwaii and you don’t want to do either in a storm.

P.S. and if you want to get technical, consult an official chart. No “pacific oceans” noted on that chart.

The new pro-Pipeline Minister is working out very well, I see. Tres bien, bien sûre.

Waiting for the announcment and press conference, the CBC live blog has this nugget:
"Alberta's deficit was initially $1.3B in the February budget, then grew to $6.5B by summer and has likely swelled even further with weak oil and natural gas prices."
Is there an Albertan leader of any party willing to utter the words:
"Maybe the vagaries of Oil and Gas prices is not what we should base our provincial budget on. Perhaps it is time to look at something else.”

"Oléoduc" is the best word I have ever seen for oil pipeline!
Also... oily Canada reputation spreading far and wide.

I have believed for a long time now that humanity has proven incapable of a 'gradual decline' of anything that it is truly dependent on even if alternatives are available.
We seem pre-programmed to use something to the max... hit rock bottom in terms of impacts on our own health and general well being… and then go pretty much cold turkey. (either through replacement or outright abstinence).
I believe it will be the same with fossil fuels.
We are possibly seeing a slight reduction now globally in overall use of oil. But it is still far and away too too much.
Maybe we’ll cut this by 10% or 20% in the next 10 or 20 years... but zero by 2050? Not a chance.
I believe we will go and go and go, until one day we can go no more, the pressure is too great, the casualties too high, the effects too devastating, and the impact of complete shutdown of the fossil fuel industry in less than 5 years will seem less bad than the damage we have already done and are sure to suffer in future.
I hope I live to see that day, not out of morbidity, but out of hope. I want to die knowing we finally did it. I don't know if that's going to happen.
Not an uplifting prediction, I know, but seriously, tell me I'm wrong.

I'll reserve full judgement for when the actual agreement is public... but here's the hot-take on the 75% reduction in methane emissions in 10 years.
Which emissions?
And show me a target Canada has ever hit.
Details. I want details, plans, concrete actions to make it happen.

Carney is a carbon industry plant.
nothing says environmental “blank cheque” to industry like: “voluntary certification program”.
"But operators have another compliance option, which some may find controversial because it could give industry players some more leeway. Operators can design their own approaches, providing a facility meets "methane intensity thresholds" that are on par with standards from "leading international voluntary certification programs.””
That's what private forest companies (Mosaic) on Vancouver Island use to claim they are following ‘best practices' as they clear cut whole sides of mountains and leave a 10m ‘riparian zone' around streams while falling trees right over them.
It's a license to make up their own rules and do whatever they want, wider impacts be damned.

Carney has completely lost First Nations. (Smith never had them of course)
"…they had no choice but to come to Ottawa to make their appeal, and potentially take legal action. “And one thing with First Nations and the courts? We have a very good track record of winning,” Mike Mercredi said.”
I increasingly think the Carney government will fall before July 1st. Making the MOU potentially moot.
