Thanks to all who joined lunch rally outside the #Equinor AGM to say STOP BAY DU NORD. There're no jobs on a dead planet & we can't eat oil (but we can eat the rich so watch out oil execs) #StopBDN
Thanks to @kdsocanth 4 organizing & to Yvonne of @CanadiansOrg 4 🔥 remarks.
💚 – at St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador

People are challenging #Equinor, the company behind the Bay du Nord offshore drilling project, on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean today.

Big oil loves to ask Canadians to write them blank cheques while they rake in record profits.
Their shareholders make off with billions while they leave struggling rural Alberta communities and workers with $253 million in unpaid taxes.
Today I held their lobbyist accountable.

Watch Erin, a 19 year student, throw paint at @JustinTrudeau 's office. Why do students feel like this is what needs to be done to get the attention of lawmakers and the heads of government? Our demand: No new licenses for off-shore drilling. #stoptheproject
Angela Giles retweeted
And now governments are arguing about how #BayduNord is going to COST them money. @Equinor should pay since they think this project is economically viable:

While @JustinTrudeau and his ministers have responded to #Omicron and #VaccineApartheid by over-hyping Canada's lackluster vaccine donation record, at least one Liberal MP has broken ranks and recognized the need for a #TRIPSwaiver. Hopefully the first of many. #cdnpoli

An important op-ed by @Bianca_Kabibi on how travel bans and opposition to the #TRIPSWaiver are just the latest chapter in the long and sordid history of Canada's relations with African nations. cbc.ca/news/opinion/opinion-…
