Absolutely remarkable. "Iran is now earning nearly twice as much from oil sales each day as it did before American and Israeli bombs started falling on February 28th. It may be pummelled on the battlefield, but the regime is winning the energy war." economist.com/finance-and-ec…
No Canadian flag. But a flag of a non existent state that is the raison d’être of banned terror groups like Hamas. But they regard Canada as an “illegitimate settler state” characterized by white supremacy and genocide. Tommy Douglas must be rolling over in his grave.
Of course there’s a Palestinian flag waving on stage. It’s Avi’s NDP now.
Sask NDP Leader Carla Beck declines Avi Lewis’ meeting request, in letter below.
Today, the federal New Democratic Party selected its new leader. It is clear that the direction of the federal party under this new leader, someone who openly cheered for the defeat of the Alberta NDP government, is not in the interests of Alberta. Last year, Alberta’s New Democrats voted overwhelmingly to make membership in the federal party optional. Many thousands of our provincial members, including myself, are not members of the federal party. We are a big tent and welcome the support of people who vote for every federal party. We believe in Alberta and we believe in Canadian energy and the good jobs it creates. We believe in more pipelines and in reducing emissions. We believe in strong public services and a strong jobs-driven economy to help pay for them. This is what we are fighting for every day. Albertans deserve federal leaders who understand the importance of Alberta and our essential role in the federation. Our focus is not on what the federal NDP says or does. Our fight is with Danielle Smith and the separatist UCP. Albertans deserve a better government, and we are here to be that better government.
BREAKING: The UAE’s state-owned aluminum conglomerate, Emirates Global Aluminum, says that its Al Taweelah production base suffered “significant damage” from Iranian attacks on Abu Dhabi’s Khalifa Economic Zone earlier today. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/hf4uyn
US Ambassador: “Put a pipeline down to the border… if Alberta wanted us to build a pipeline to the west coast, because they said we’ve got another 2M barrels of oil per day that we want to ship to Asia and Japan, I would think that we’d be very open to having that discussion”.
And maybe worst of all, the tariffs have pushed Canada - a massive aluminum producer, close ally, and member of the US defense industrial base! - to sell less to US firms and more to others, making America more reliant on... Middle East producers now hit by the Iran war. /6
