“All any of us can do in the face of such horrifying destruction is hold tight to what really matters. And the only thing that matters in this province is the ability of fossil fuel producers to continue to do their work."

    Beaverton not missing yet again.

    That thing where she cried in a press conference (really happened), I guess it's just stupidity rather than cynicism.

    Alberta's whole economy is based on oil, everyone's job there relies in some way on oil. But they don't even try to invest in other stuff like Saudi Arabia, it's all short term "increase extraction" mindset.

    It's understandable why people I've met from Alberta don't want to believe in climate change, I know a guy from there who was shown (while in elementary school) a documentary calling Al Gore a charlatan.

    When he came to Ontario he was honestly surprised we all believed in climate change, that was not at all the dominant opinion he had growing up, and he never really looked too hard into it himself.

    I want the phrase climatefire to take off. First of all, it sounds cool. Second of all it's actually true.
