Brother you were posting your company's partnership with them in OCTOBER 2022
Did you know that “Coastal First Nations” is just an advocacy group? Yup, it's just branding like Coke or Nike. It was set up with millions of dollars from foreign anti-energy & anti-resource groups. That's how you end up with professional protestors. This has to stop. When

Ben's take is spot on in both his reading of the landscape and the direction Canadian conservatives should take. Whether they will, I don't know. It's up to them. (despite what some think, I'm not one of 'em. I'm what Doug Ford calls "politically misguided.")
A long post that will likely upset some people, but it has been on my mind for quite some time. I am of the view, and data backs this up, that the country is quite divided between two different groups. The first, let's call them the have nots, are people for whom basic cost

Imagine going into a coma in 2012, and waking up to find the NDP at 13 percent among young people while the Conservatives lead the pack.

Aside from this being a solid riposte, it's a reminder that Canada should continue looking north, a habit we got out of after the Cold War faded.
Yes, sending a message to the world that Canada is an Arctic nation that supports other Arctic nations in upholding international law and sovereignty is... No, I don't think "madness" quite captures, it Brian. "Admirable," maybe. "Principled." But not that.
