"it's the provinces responsibility" "it's the feds responsibility" both levels of govt excuse themselves of their shared fucking responsibility and their supporters don't even blink an eye. AI power consumption regulation yeah technically provincial but nothing stops federal level regulation

NL can't do pharmacare because the FEDS are blocking us (and it's not because we're led by cons since they did it to our libs as well). Hell housing is absolutely undeniably provincial responsibility yet for half of the 20th century the federal govt directly funded housing efforts. Yet under the

Just want to say thanks @rachelgilmore.bsky.social for actually talking about and reporting on the pipeline bullshit accurately despite the tidal wave of defense for the govts economically non-viable, future destroying, opportunity squandering, climate heating, temp job providing only pipeline.

A year and a half ago Singh called for a warroom to meet the threat Trumps electoral victory posed us. The PM (Trudeau), the LPC dependent on the NDP for power, the CPC, The CBC, the rest of the news media, and the general public ridiculed him and the NDP as a whole. Now people casually say were at

war to defend the current PM and the majority LPC govt who up until a few weeks ago did nothing but bend over for the US, who still sell us to the Americans through their companies, who are destroying our labour rights. If we prepared when Singh sounded the alarm we'd be far better off.

Congratulations to @mark-carney.bsky.social and his trade officials for realizing what everyone else knew a year ago, that his predecessor even learned before leaving office, you cannot appease a fascist, you cannot negotiate with a country that has always violated terms.

Gotta love how two provinces have spent over a fucking year negotiating after the disaster of a previous one left one half of the agreement in ruin and in comes Mark Carney to claim it as his achievement, as his investment, as his project despite the fact he wasnt included at all until a few days

ago. Hes not making the largest investment in clean energy in this countrys history, Newfoundland & Labrador AND Quebec are. He is putting a few bucks on top of a project were self funding despite our history which the feds had only worsened.

Anyone who thinks nukes can provide us security needs to shut up about national security and soverignty. The path to a nuke would actually force the hand of the USA to invade us. A single nuke cannot kill enough innocent people to matter to a fascist states leadership. A hundred nukes without

delivery systems also can't do the single thing they're designed to. But hey you want us to be the newest violator of nuclear treaties so we can kill millions of civillians which will only engage the US assuming they haven't already invaded to prevent an untenable threat to their security.

To anyone who reads those who thinks pipelines are necessary for economic prosperity to give us a green transition (ignoring the fact that the green transition is more profitable than oil), how many towns are worth it? How many communities must burn to the ground? How many kids must spend the

in disaster relief funds, in resource loss (fish stocks and forests), in labour losses to health and food concerns, in housing losses, in power infrastructure losses, before you admit that fossil fuels costs us far more than it could ever make. Multibillion pipelines and terminals that take decades

To anyone who reads those who thinks pipelines are necessary for economic prosperity to give us a green transition (ignoring the fact that the green transition is more profitable than oil), how many towns are worth it? How many communities must burn to the ground? How many kids must spend the

rest of their lives breathing in wildfire smoke every year increasing their likelihoods of lung cancer and other such illnesses? How many people must be rendered homeless and destitute as their home and/or workplace are destroyed by fires and floods, by hurricanes and tornadoes? How many countries

If Newfoundland & Labrador's Premier had spent every waking moment since taking office attacking the federal govt, sabatoging national projects, and threatening secession, would we get a multibillion dollar project? Would the feds force Quebec to back down from their objections to such a project?

Today is memorial day in NL and later today it will then be Canada Day. For those who don't know Newfoundland and Labrador was a Dominion independent of Canada during the first World War. Thousands of our tiny population went over to fight and in the Somme suffered a 93% casualty rate.

At Beaumont-Hamel in the Somme on July 1st, 1916 780 Newfoundlanders went over the top, 110 survived the battle in some way shape or form with only 68 capable of being there for roll call the next day. So, before you celebrate Canada day, remember the sacrifice made 110 years ago to the day.
