In light of Alberta’s current grievances and threats to join the US, should we not be more concerned when they start selling off Canadian infrastructure to Texas during a trade war?

With a separation referendum now on the table, isn’t it in Alberta’s interest to make side deals with the US that supersede Canada’s national security?

If this Trump Administration is indeed using tariffs to lower prices on Canadian infrastructure for their bitcoin rich Corporations to buy up, then selling off is simply a form of preemptive surrender.

This dangerous deal should be shut down in the interests of National Security and independence from US ownership.

Texas controlling Burnaby’s oil refinery would be a real threat and longtime future liability as America moves ahead with it’s economic war on Canada.

Texas is lockstep with Trump, don’t give them control of our province’s critical infrastructure.

Shame on Parkland for selling out BC and Canada.

"The decision comes almost five years after the city and county of Honolulu, as well as the Honolulu Board of Water Supply, sued #Sunoco and #Shell along with 15 other energy companies for infringements of state law.
"They charged Big Oil with ... failing to warn the public of the risks posed by its products. In 2023, the Supreme Court of Hawai'i ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, allowing the litigation to proceed."

Supreme Court lets #Hawaii sue #OilCompanies over #ClimateChange effects

#SCOTUS won't answer 'recurring question of extraordinary importance' to #BigOil.

by Ashley Belanger – Jan 13, 2025

"On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to decide whether to block lawsuits that Honolulu filed to seek billions in damages from oil and gas companies over allegedly deceptive marketing campaigns that hid the effects of climate change.

"Now those lawsuits can proceed, surely frustrating the fossil fuel industry, which felt that SCOTUS should have weighed in on this key 'recurring question of extraordinary importance to the energy industry' raised in lawsuits seeking similarly high damages in several states, CBS News reported.

"Defendants #Sunoco and #Shell, along with 15 other energy companies, had asked the court to intervene and stop the Hawaii lawsuits from proceeding. They had hoped to move the cases out of Hawaii state courts by arguing that interstate pollution is governed by federal law and the Clean Air Act.

"The oil and gas companies continue to argue that greenhouse gas emissions 'flow from billions of daily choices, over more than a century, by governments, companies, and individuals about what types of fuels to use, and how to use them.' Because of this, the companies believe Honolulu was wrong to demand damages based on the "cumulative effect of worldwide emissions leading to global climate change."

#Maine Sues Major #OilCompanies Over ‘Ongoing Deception’ About #ClimateChange

The lawsuit follows similar suits by eight other states and the District of Columbia against major oil companies, all alleging complicity in climate change. Those states are New Jersey, California, Delaware, Minnesota, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island

"The state of Maine has filed a lawsuit against five major oil companies and their top lobbying group, accusing them of carrying out a decades-long disinformation campaign about climate change and their contribution to it in order to maximize profits.

"Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey, in his lawsuit filed Tuesday in state court, accuses Exxon Mobil, Shell, Chevron, BP, Sunoco and the American Petroleum Institute of withholding internal knowledge about fossil fuels’ catastrophic effects all while spinning public doubt.

"'For over half a century, these companies chose to fuel profits instead of following their science to prevent what are now likely irreversible, catastrophic climate effects,' said Frey in a statement. 'In so doing, they burdened the State and our citizens with the consequences of their greed and deception.'"

Country filling station owned and operated by tobacco farmer. Such small independent stations have become meeting places and loafing spots for neighborhood farmers in their off times. Granville County, North Carolina

The image is a vintage photograph of a small rural gas station. It's located in Granville County, North Carolina, and features an old-fashioned structure with a shingled roof and white siding. Two gas pumps are visible on the left side of the building. There's also a sign that reads "SUNOCO" above one of the pumps. A small porch is present in front of the station, suggesting it may have served as a gathering spot for farmers in their off times. The overall scene suggests an era when gas stations were often independently owned and operated.

After infiltrating #StandingRock, #TigerSwan pitched its ‘#counterinsurgency’ playbook to other oil companies

More than 50,000 pages of newly released documents detail how the security firm targeted #pipeline opponents and tried to profit off its #surveillance tactics.

"The Intercept and Grist contacted TigerSwan, #EnergyTransfer, the National Sheriffs’ Association, as well as Thompson, the group’s executive director. None of them responded to requests for comment.

"To TigerSwan, the emergence of #Indigenous-led social movements to keep oil and gas in the ground represented a business opportunity. Reese anticipated new demand from the #FossilFuel industry for strategies to undermine the network of #activists his company had so carefully gathered information on. In the records, TigerSwan expressed its ambitions to repurpose these detailed records to position themselves as experts in managing pipeline protests. The company created marketing materials pitching work to at least two other energy companies building controversial oil and gas infrastructure, the records show. TigerSwan, which was staffed heavily with former members of military special operations units, branded its tactics as a 'counterinsurgency approach,' drawing directly from its leaders’ experiences fighting the so-called War on Terror abroad.

"TigerSwan did not just work in #NorthDakota. Energy Transfer hired the company to provide security to its #RoverPipeline in #Ohio and #WestVirginia, the documents confirm. By spring 2017, TigerSwan was also assembling intelligence reports on opponents of Energy Transfer and #Sunoco’s #MarinerEast2 Pipeline in #Pennsylvania.

"The documents from the North Dakota security board paint a detailed picture of counterinsurgency-style strategies for defeating opponents of oil and gas development, a War-on-Terror security firm’s aspirations to replicate its deceptive tactics far beyond the Northern Great Plains, and the cozy relationship between businesses linked to the fossil fuel industry and one of the largest law enforcement trade associations in the U.S. The impetus for spying was not simply to keep people safe, but to drum up profits from energy clients and to allow fossil fuels to continue flowing, at the expense of the communities fighting for clean water and a healthy climate.

"'For them, it was an opportunity to help create a narrative against our tribe and our supporters,' said Wasté Win Young, a citizen of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the one of the plaintiffs in a class action civil rights lawsuit against TigerSwan and local law enforcement. Young’s social media posts repeatedly showed up in the documents. 'We weren’t motivated by money or payoffs or anything like that. We just wanted to protect our homelands.'"
