A North Dakota judge has said he will order Greenpeace to pay damages expected to total $345 million in connection with protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline from nearly a decade ago, a figure the environmental group contends it cannot pay.
In court papers filed Tuesday, Judge James Gion said he would sign an order requiring several Greenpeace entities to pay the judgment to pipeline company Energy Transfer. He set that amount at $345 million last year in a decision that reduced a jury’s damages by about half, but his latest filing didn’t specify a final amount.
The long-awaited order is expected to launch an appeal process in the North Dakota Supreme Court from both sides.
Last year, a nine-person jury found Netherlands-based Greenpeace International, Greenpeace USA and funding arm Greenpeace Fund Inc. liable for defamation and other claims brought by Dallas-based Energy Transfer and subsidiary Dakota Access.

What the editors at The Globe and Mail chose to print wasn’t edgy. It wasn’t clever. It wasn’t even sharp. It was lazy, inflammatory, and grotesquely irresponsible.

Money For Nothing
If John Risley typifies the mindset of the business community in this country, we’re all done for.
He sold the company in 2021 for $1 billion. But instead of enjoying his money in retirement, he kept backing massive projects with global ambitions, including a stalled wind-powered hydrogen energy operation in western Newfoundland.
Risley was in Ottawa in December to drum up support for a deepwater port in the Arctic.
Under the increasing interest rates, the US$250-million loan inflated into a debt reaching nearly US$1 billion, the documents said. CFFI planned to sell off a few major investments and pay off the debt, but the sales never happened, the papers said.
Ontario Is For The Birds
Where would society be without the Chimney Swift and the derelict industrial chimneys that they call home? How dare those evil contractors disturb a nesting site!!
Marble Arch and Adam Watson significantly damaged the chimney’s function as a habitat for the Chimney Swift by carrying out demolition work during the birds’ migratory season, and by leaving a large hole in the side of the chimney for the remainder of the 2020 season.
Diversity Strong!

Keepers Of Deep Knowledge
Three tales of leftist librarians. And the loud buzzing inside their heads.
Something-something “white supremacy” something-something “privilege.” I’m paraphrasing, of course.
But really, it’s the same doctrinaire horseshit we’ve seen a hundred times. And according to which, the world will be enormously improved by the “abolition of policing in all its forms.” If that isn’t sufficiently unambiguous, our Ivy League librarians insist that their “ultimate goal” is, and I quote, “the complete abolition of law enforcement… everywhere.” Because “a world without policing” will somehow, rather conveniently, be a world without crime.
And because helping people find the books that they’d like to borrow is just too boring and insufficiently high-status for minds such as these.
Oh, there’s more.

Barriers To Crime
No, the freeway fence is not meant to “hide poverty”. It’s purpose is to prevent low IQ voters from throwing bricks at your car in an effort to disable it so they can proceed to rob you. Maybe these twits think that if tourists no longer come to Capetown they can all get rich selling drugs to each other.
Mayor of the City of Cape Town Geordin Hill-Lewis recently announced plans to spend R114 million to build a wall along the city’s notorious N2 highway, a move that has divided experts and political parties.
GOOD Cape Town Councillor Siyabulela Mamkeli said that this is a “physical barrier intended to hide poverty from tourists travelling between the Cape Town CBD and Cape Town International Airport.”
