Even in the coldest days and nights, the coldest rooms in my house are only cool and still comfortable. No furnace of any kind, just some baseboard electric heaters in the living room and in the basement, and good insulation in the walls and windows.

My electricity bill triples in the winter when I turn on the baseboards in my lovely old apartment in the main floor of an old house, so I suggest all future LNG pipelines to go directly to my house, thank you.

canadian subreddits currently being flooded with anti-protest and anti-FN comments. Probably about a 50/50 split between foreign trolls stoking the flames and misinformed boomer-minded asshats jumping at a chance to be racist. Either way, the amount of colonial apologist propaganda I've seen over the last few days is disgusting. Tons of articles targeting elderly Canadians, using circular logic like "It's illegal because it's illegal! Canada has a duty to stop this illegality!"

So here's an in-depth look at the issue by the Legal Counsil for the Unist’ot’en, First People's Law. Arguments dealt with are: "What about support for the project from the Wet’suwet’en elected Chiefs and Councils? But aren’t the Indian Act Chiefs and Councils democratically elected? But what about the ‘rule of law’? Isn’t this Crown Land? But what about the Wet’suwet’en not having proven their Aboriginal title in court?" https://www.firstpeopleslaw.com/index/articles/438.php?fbclid=IwAR01bZJ0-XUPQxjI1lm6y8xhbwKqK1A7ITFM_5JlKMccTrcPt1DrfvftkUc

I <3 CANADIAN HYDRO (please ignore how dams gently caress up waterways) Yeah I'm full electric, it's fine. I rely on hydro, but understand that it can be supplemented with geothermal, as well as wind and solar, and nuclear for where none of that works. There is no reason to continue using fossil fuels in Canada, except for the support of capitalists.

Oh thank you for reminding me, I wanted to come mention the bumper stickers I saw on the back of a giant pickup I got stuck behind on my way to work Monday. "Alberta Oil is why you have the privilege of following me" "Oil is made from life and without it you cant live yours" and the ever so popular "gently caress Liberals" to cap it off. Also a creepy rear end picture of I think Doug Ford driving over top of a cyclist.

Albertans have wanted the "eastern bastards to freeze in the dark" for decades but, since Indigenous people may actually make it happen, they're probably super salty about it. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/maritime-propane-supply-cn-rail-shutdown-1.5463439 quote:Indigenous pipeline protests in central Canada have choked off the supply of propane by rail into the Maritimes, leading to rationing and fears of running out of supply.

I'm actually very surprised that these CN rail protests are working at all, I kinda assumed that they'd all be killed if they actually tried to do anything more than standing around holding signs and not actually doing anything. Good for them.

My apartment is I think decently insulated so my hydro bill is only like 60$ every 2 months. I can actually leave my heating off most of the time during the winter, and just wrap myself in a burrito blanket by the computer. Only rarely does it get cold enough where I'm like, "Well alright then."

This is a popular pro-oil talking point and I don't get why people cling to it. Both "yay oil" people and "oil's hosed us" people agree that it's the reason we're in our current situation, and that transitioning off oil will be difficult. I guess the implicit argument is some combination of "you benefit today so ignore the downside" and "better things aren't possible" but nobody seems to say that part out loud. "gently caress Liberals" well one outta three ain't bad.

Im kinda terrified of the idea of running electric heat after seeing just how bad Wynne hosed over Ontario when it came to finalizing the privatization of hydro and the subsequent massive price hikes that ensued. I know that it was mostly rural customers that had to pay through the nose but urban customers still saw increases. Not about to switch when Pallister has his eyes on doing the same here.

I'm pretty sure I'm getting turbo hosed but anywhere I'd move would would have a rent increase that would offset any savings plus more.

So I guess I'll ask the obvious: Is it possible to for Coastal GasLink to just go around Wet'suwet'en territory to avoid all this and they're just to cheap to do it? Or is it physically impossible?

Really really hard/impossible. Map of path with some of the first nations areas - Wet'suwet'en is nearest to the end of the line. from: https://www.columbiavalleypioneer.com/news/all-20-first-nations-sign-coastal-gaslink-pipeline-agreement/

Even leaving aside "which FN are where", northern BC has a lot of geography and not a lot of infrastructure. The path from Kitimat to roughly Burns Lake is just about the only path you can take out of Kitimat while avoiding having to cross a Lot of bodies of water. e: gross https://twitter.com/MacleanKay/status/1228350461658296320 Pinterest Mom fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Feb 14, 2020 |

All my fellow government workers get the day off today but the protesters don't know about my building (which is full of incredibly relevant provincial gov targets but they're unlisted) so I gotta work. Also the Victoria reddit is full of people saying they want to counter protest or just attack the protesters because if they police won't pepper spray them all, they happily will. Rule of law! Rule of LAW!

Here's a map of the Wet'suwet'en territories - the pipeline will travel smack dab through the middle of it. The red square is the area of contention/protest. So yeah, it's not easy to move the pipeline. It would restart the entire process from the beginning.

Okay, I stand corrected, there's a few proposed pipelines that travel north of their territories, along with an existing one that skims the north side of the territories.

I think the thing that’s most telling about this is it shows where the Liberals’ hearts really are on climate change. If they actually cared this would be the easiest project in the world to just stall and let die in committee while still outwardly supporting the oil and gas industry for electability reasons.
