No doom and gloom here. We're too busy supporting progressive policies.
Don't be shy [Biden], put some more.

Wednesday and Thursday there is going to be a deluge of great news coming from the Biden office and I can't wait. Everything I'm hear about these first day EOs is great.
I honestly have no idea what our actual strategy in Canada is w/r/t pipelines. It's this political third rail which goes off no matter what option the government chooses. Having Biden make our choice for us is probably seen as a blessing in Ottawa.

I remember the opposite of this being one of the first executive actions Trump took in January 2017. Poetic.

I probably should know more about this than I do.
This was set in motion by Stephen Harper in the first place, I think? But then Trudeau didn't really do much to stop it either, and part of our economic problems are in how Harper caused us to fixate on Alberta's oil.
Do I have that right?

The cons were project running through First Nation and U.S. Native American land, severe risk to fagile ecosystems, and development of tar sands which is pretty bad enviromentally.
The pros were mostly cited as less reliance on ME oil, decreased fuel prices, and creation of thousands of jobs.
Pros: billionaires and the Canadian government are happy
Cons: more irreparable climate damage, chance of oil spills, massive environmental damage, destroying the planet faster, pollution, etc.
Alberta getting owned relentlessly.
Major investment firms moving away from oil should've been the wake up call but they're still huffing that shit.I feel for their people who tried to force the government and electorate there to look at the writing on the wall. Trudeau tried to play both sides as well but Almost had to, that's what happens when you're the center party. Huge waste of resources with AB especially in this regard, unable to wean themselves off this particular teat.
Also going to break my arm patting myself on the back since I said months ago Biden Admin will be buckets of good shit. Please continue to read them diamonds and weep. Was easy to see because a) he'll get out of the way for the new school to drive the bus and b) he can Trojan horse in so much better policy bc he's an older Caucasian person so racists will accept him more easily.
The real key to making more good strides is legislation. SCotUS can't do much about clear, legally implemented legislation. To make such legislation, we need to keep showing up and winning elections. The end.

SC :/ yeah i forgot about that one i guess dont get too carried away. Lol
Keystone XL seems more like a symbolic issue than anything else. Its construction isn't going to provide all these awesome high-paying jobs conservatives like to tout, nor would its existence lead to the planet self-immolating any faster than it's already going to (although it certainly doesn't help matters).
Probably rejoicing in private. Maybe a "we regret this decision" in public lol.
Anyway, this is great. Kill it for us, plz. I wish they could kill the TMX too, just cause.
