Yesterday morning, I was shopping partly for health, partly for job-search tools. On the way home, I found a couple of pro-fascist "newspapers" in a local bus shelter. I tore them up and dumped the remains in the next recycle bin I could get to. The ink and paper can be recovered, after all, and put to better usages.

Check out this item on the issues facing the one Jason Kenney's setting up in Alberta to protect tarsands money from reality.

The thing that Mr. Kenney's trying to get us to ignore is that we can't afford to burn anyone's oil to get the energy we need anymore. Not Putinist Russia's, not the Bakken deposits in the northern prairies of the USA, not the Saudis', nor our own in Alberta or off the Newfoundland Island coast...not anyone's oil from anywhere. But you being my audience-by-choice, you knew this yourselves already. Mr. Kenney probably doesn't like that fact either.

Current Mood: worried
