Serious people need to stop worrying about what offends the unserious.

I don’t know why everyone is worried about the LNG market. Canada is HERE TO BACKFILL QATAR’S LOST VOLUMES. If we start today, and work all-out around the clock, in just a FEW SHORT YEARS Canada can confidently deliver a preliminary environmental impact assessment. After that it’ll just be a couple of hundred weeks before the indigenous consulting is complete after which the ascension to final decision by the federal environment minister can take place. When the federal agencies make their decisions, we can FINALLY BEGIN provincial permitting. This won’t take long, and once provincial permitting is complete we just have to execute a short 5 year ecosystem monitoring study. After that, when we submit final plans to the provincial government, we should be GOOD TO GO AHEAD AND BUILD a very comprehensive community information pamphlet for the mandatory 720 day public comment period. When the public comment period is complete, and the final investment decision is reached, it’ll be SHOVELS IN THE GROUND on the local fencing needed to secure the site for 2 years to give migratory species enough time to change their patterns. Once migration patterns are changed, and the final hazardous emissions diffusion studies are complete, the community is consulted, and all permits are obtained, CONSTRUCTION WILL BE UNDERWAY on the monitoring systems needed to ensure that no local Salmon population feel personally slighted by any new infrastructure. While this sounds like an arduous process, it’s TOTALLY necessary to ensure Canada remains carbon-competitive. Have no fear all those that may be unable to heat their homes in a few short weeks, Canada is here to deliver ENERGY SECURITY TO THE WORLD… unless it impacts the livelihood of one single snail, then you’re on your own kid.

What the Islamic Republic of Iran is doing right now and has been doing for 47 years violates every precept of international law, acting in utter disregard for other nations' sovereignty, attacking civilians and infrastructure at will and fomenting pogroms against Syrians, Yemenis, Kurds, Baloch, Avazis, Kurds, and Bahai'i people. Also women.

What Israel is doing in the Middle East right now violates every precept of international law. It is acting with utter disregard for other nations’ sovereignty, attacking civilians and infrastructure at will, and allowing pogroms against Palestinians. Where is Canada’s voice??

Some of you still seem to think oil is only used for gasoline for light duty vehicles, because that’s the only time you’ve physically encountered it. Expensive and scarce oil is an omnicrisis for the global economy. It cannot be replaced by electrons from solar panels.

🚨 Russia is sending a massive load of weapons and munitions to Iran disguised as a "humanitarian convoy" via Tajikistan. Exact playbook Russia used to send arms into east Ukraine in 2014 after annexing Crimea. These weapons will be used to murder Iranian civilians.
Igor Sushko@igorsushko

In 2014, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) made sure not to inspect the Russian trucks filled with munitions but still issued public statements that the trucks were "inspected" by Russians. Red Cross also refused to distribute the weapons.

Yesterday, on the eve of the Iranian New Year (Nowruz), the Islamic Republic hanged five teenagers who had been detained during the January protests in the cities of Qom and Ilam. Today, 18-year-old Melika Azizi from the city of Rasht, who was arrested for burning regime symbols during the protests, faces imminent execution in Rasht prison on the charge of Moharebeh (waging war against Allah). #IranMassacre‌ won't stop!

Today, the Islamic Republic hanged multiple Iranian civilians, some of whom were just teenagers. Amnesty International? Silent. The UN? Silent. Human Rights Council? Silent. The Red Cross? Silent.

I’m at a loss for words. Substitute ANY other group (women for example) and people would be falling over themselves to express concern, outrage, etc. For those of you sitting comfortably in your silence - be ashamed.

Congratulations to my @UCalgary colleagues on this interesting publication getting such a wide reading.

A peer-reviewed study published yesterday in a leading scientific journal found that closing a drug consumption site led to NO INCREASE in overdose deaths, but instead an INCREASE in life-saving addiction treatment. This is the first Canadian study of its kind to use individual-level, linkable health data. Here is what the study found after the drug consumption site closed: There was no increase in deaths. There was no increase in emergency department visits. There was no increase in suspected opioid-related EMS events. But here is what did increase: The number of people accessing real addiction treatment. After the site closed, users were more likely to access opioid agonist therapy. Treatment rates at the closed site actually exceeded rates at a comparable site that remained open. In the authors' own words: "...an increase in mortality was not observed despite the closure of the [supervised drug consumption] site and in the context of an apparently worsening local drug supply." "...weekly [opioid agonist therapy] dispensing among Red Deer clients increased significantly following the public announcement of site closure, and the trend continued throughout the post-announcement period." Left-wing politicians have spent years promoting drug consumption and injection sites as a solution to the addictions crisis. If closing a drug consumption site leads to more people getting life-saving treatment and no increase in deaths, why is the federal government still approving more of them? Given this new study, I think this question has never been more valid to ask. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/RYMJV5SU…

The heresy the U.S. and Israel are said to have been committing against "international law" since last Saturday is the very heresy the Khomeinists have been committing for most of the past 47 years. Can we at least be honest about that? therealstory.substack.com/p/epic-fury-ep…
