- Genocide-Complicit Madness May 27 to June 21, 2024 Suffield National Wildlife Area: DND to host “Sandbox” party for Israeli arms companies (Twenty20 Insight Inc, Sentrycs, etc.) to test “Smart Shooter” used in West Bank remote control turrets and on rifle scopes in Gaza to kill Palestinian kids. Companies will be given continual interaction with CAF experts, US Gov’t Irregular Warfare Technical Support Directorate, RCMP (to share what they use against Canadian Indigenous Water Protectors?), science experts (WTF!), and *cash prizes* up to $1 million and “other funding!” Who the hell pays for this? Canadian taxpayers?
Justin Trudeau, Mélanie Joly at. al., stop this cruel madness. Canada is complicit enough in Israel’s genocide.

- Time to smell the bitumen; Alberta collected less than $1 over 13 years from $Billion profit-raping tarsands companies for clean-up. Obviously, gov’t and AER don’t plan to make industry clean up or seal their climate chaos causing leaking wells. Companies only care about money and $billions in subsidies from ordinary Canadians (struggling to feed their kids), lots of lies, secrets, toxic cover-ups, refusing to pay taxes, and propagandizing you and your kids.
I’ll never understand why anyone believes the shitty lies coming out of Alberta politicians (no matter what polka dot, PC, UCP led by extremist bible-thumping misogynistic racist hate-filled Taking Alberta Waaaaay Back into the Cave, or NDP), AER or Alberta Environment.
