'The $34BN expansion project officially came online May 1 with no photo ops, no ribbon cutting– and no public fanfare of any kind.'

Capital Power should serve as a lesson for governments on how reckless it is to be using taxpayer dollars to subsidize these projects... while the cost of renewable energy has plummeted.” globalnews.ca/news/10463652/…

1/ In deciding whether to support a shareholder proposal calling for full disclosure of Enbridge scope 3 emissions next week, Canada’s pension funds need look no further than their own policies, reports & membership in Climate Engagement Canada. shiftaction.ca/news/2024/05/0…

We need to talk about this & the impacts for all

Imagine how clueless you need to be to call the completion of an 890,000bpd bitumen pipeline that cost Canadian taxpayers $34BN 'a proud moment'... when BC & Alberta communities are under wildfire evacuation orders... in April. calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…

In case you needed any more evidence that Enbridge is literally and directly calling the shots at Queen's Park...

Thank you Todd Smith and Doug Ford for serving Enbridge Gas... I mean, err, the people of Ontario!
