Trumps comments re Americans
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is a fake quote. Trump never said this.

Nigel farage wants you to think that Britain has an immigration problem.
It doesn't.
Britain had a problem with millionaires hoarding wealth, egged on by politicians and the press.
Britain has a problem with racism.
Britain has a @Nigel_Farage problem.
RT if you agree.

Ever wondered who really benefits from your gas prices going up?
Spoiler: it's the people who are making record profits while blaming "inflation".

In the 1990s, Canada outlawed Big Tobacco's advertising
Next up: Big Oil. For decades oil & gas CEOs have been lying to the public about the health & climate risks of fossil fuels
Bill #C372 would end the advertising campaigns of Canada's worst #climatevillains
For decades, big oil has been lying about the benefits of their products, about how much they pollute, and about their plans to pollute less.
Bill #C372, introduced by @CharlieAngusNDP, will ban their lies and the promotion of products that are making us sick

A new report from the IEA says that to avoid catastrophic climate change, oil and gas emissions must fall by 60% by 2030
I know how much @JonathanWNV
respects the IEA...so will he ensure that the oil & gas emissions cap meets that 2030 target?

The oil & gas industry faces a moment of truth at #COP28
It must choose: keep fueling the climate crisis or embrace the shift to clean energy.
Today, its efforts aren’t encouraging. It accounts for under 1% of global clean energy investment.

The Canadian Government has made a new tourism ad, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative! 🇨🇦

The 3 provinces with the highest electricity costs right now, are the ONLY 3 provinces whose primary source of generation is a fossil fuel (gas or coal).
But tell me again how renewable energy is going to bankrupt us all...🙄

Disappointed by the op-ed Mr. Pandya published today on behalf of SaskPower.
Not sure how to reconcile it with past statements he's made about being a creative, transparent, empathetic leader overseeing "substantial changes" to transition to net-zero in "very short order"
#skpoli
ALT "I think great communication skills, great values, being empathetic, having integrity, transparency, trust, and being creative – those are all cornerstone qualities of leadership. I like to think of myself as a values-based leader. I fundamentally believe that the “what” of our work is important - in this case, in an energy transition to net-zero electricity. But what is equally important is how we do our work. That has to be with integrity, transparency, and empathy." - Rupen Pandya, SaskPower President and CEO "The energy transition underway will require substantial changes to our system in a very short order of time, compared to the history of the corporation. Whether it’s 2030 or 2035 or 2050, those dates are just around the corner and there’s a significant amount of work to do." - Rupen Pandya

Question: I'm looking for an English word for disposal starting with the letter 'S'. Suggestions? Background: (fossil) CCS is often (mis)used for zero emissions. CCS stands for carbon capture & storage (or sequestration). In reality it's waste disposal. @mzjacobson @AukeHoekstra

If you made $53,000 a day or $20 million per year since Jesus was born you would still not make the profit Shell made in 2022.
It’s time for Shell to Stop Drilling and Start Paying for the climate damage they’ve caused.

Saskpower, you belong to the people, and the people don’t want to keep burning fossil fuels. The solutions are at had, join our rally Aug 11

So @Shell abandons their climate targets & net zero goals this week & announces they will expand fossil fuel production & Canada (while our country is on 🔥) hosts their international board meeting & tours them as a “reliable partner in building a “green economy”?! 🤦♀️
Pleased to host with my colleague @JonathanWNV @Shell’s first global Board of Directors meeting in Canada.
With a strong and historic presence in our country, Shell is our reliable partner. Together, we can and will pave the way for tomorrow's green economy.

Hey @cafreeland, since you promised you wouldn't keep subsidizing #TMX (though let's be honest, you've already broken that promise...), does that mean you'll force companies using the pipeline to pay higher tolls - or will you pass those costs onto the public too?
Trans Mountain's rising shipping costs are drawing the ire of Canada's largest oil producers financialpost.com/commoditie…

What she said.
Time for every news story & @environmentca forecast about terrible wildfires & air pollution to include clear link to climate change: ‼️ "A warming planet leads to increased severity & frequency of wildfires across the world resulting in air pollution." cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/…
