Wonder how many in that photo are wearing clothing that is oil-based, how many of them took carbon-based transportation to get there, how many of them live in a house that utilizes carbon-based energy, and on and on and on…
Considering that the climate is always changing, on a micro level and on a macro level, the possibility of similar lawsuits is endless.
funny story.
happenstance upon a zhustd schtop hoyle ‘climb ate’ protest.
they proceed to take their banner and protest sign for a walk.
lm on my bike ridiculing their hypocrisy (very loudly):
STEP OUT IF YOU ARE WEARING ANY POLY SYNTHETICS MADE FROM OIL
STEP OUT IF YOU ARE WEARING ANYTHING WHATSOEVER MINED,
MANUFACTURED, OR TRANSPORTED USING HYDROCARBON DERITIVES
STEP OUT IF YOU ARE CARRYING *ANYTHING* MADE IN PART OF PLASTIC
GET OFF THE TARMAC ON THE ROAD MADE OF OIL BASED SUBSTANCE.
GET OFF THE SIDEWALK MADE OF CONCRETE USING HYDROCARBONS AND TRANSPORTED AND LAID DOWN USING HYDROCARBONS AT *ANY* STEP OF THE PROCESS
etc etc. gawd it was fun doing that, ridiculing these brain damaged hypocrites.

Good video. After my folks split in the early 70’s my father transferred to the Soo. ATC. Spent a few Christmas holidays and lots of summers up there, frequent visitor to the American side. Squirrel Island, right across the Garden River reserve, Boone’s Farm and beer runs to Sugar Island, MI. Peaches Pizza Parlour on the CDN side and Antler’s on the US side. I think Antler’s is still there. Great memories.
Do you think there will again be the Emergencies Act and disobeying strikers tossed in jail? https://www.reuters.com/business/world-at-work/air-canada-union-says-flight-attendants-will-continue-strike-defy-government-2025-08-17/
“Air Canada union says flight attendants will continue strike, defy government”
We need a right-to-work law in Canada, making membership in unions optional.
Half the states in the US have right-to-work.
You know, the ones where all the jobs are.
I actually have a lot of sympathy for the flight attendants. They only start getting paid once the aircraft doors are closed, which means they’re doing compulsory unpaid work until then. And you thought slavery had been outlawed in Canada in the early 19th century.
Remote work blurred the line, but those having to “show up for work” depends on which “door” counts.
How’s it work for the flight deck crew?
C’mon there PM Bobblehead. Seize the union leaders’ bank accounts.

Canadian crops beat global emissions—even after 17 trips across the Atlantic
https://phys.org/news/2025-08-canadian-crops-global-emissions-atlantic.html
Awesome! So how many more 100’s% in tariffs can those crops suffer before being tilled under and left in the ground? Now THAT would be REALLY green, eh?
It is far more environmental to till under the Climate Emergency fanatics than crops! 🙂

The video needs to mention that the only reason canuckistan sault has steel making is because in can access western tax dollars. If Michigan could raid South Dakota wealth, it would have steel plants too. Algoma would have shuttered years ago if it were not for fed bailouts. They have electric arc in Regina but steel hasn’t been made there for years now.
