LISTEN: Fracking: between a rock and a hard place by Radio Netherlands Worldwide, February 3, 2012
Jessica Ernst lives near a fracking operation. She used to work as an environmental consultant for Encana, the gas company that’s doing the fracking, and she tells host Marnie Chesterton the story of how her life, water, and land has changed since fracking began. … (The ERCB, Alberta’s energy resource regulator wouldn’t comment on Jessica’s case…)

- Yup, Mark Carney is an authoritarian lying asshole abusive bully who serves the rich. You’d have to be to force divisive Nazi AI slop on millions of Canadians who do not want it. Carney’s also a proud racist and supporter of Israel’s genocide. PS Carney, a catholic, even lied to the Pope about AI! June 5, 2026
- Congratulations Martinez Law and David Shultz! Both prosecutions against pro peace protester Shultz collapse (withdrawal and acquittal). Canadian police and prosecutors serve genocidal Israel, working to destroy our charter right to freedom of expression when opposing Israel’s endless crimes and or calling for peace (Bibi wants the right destroyed globally. Is that why his bestie Steve Harper hates Canada’s charter?). June 3, 2026

- No wonder the Alberta gov’t appointed this guy (official agent of el corrupto Ralph Klein) to be a judge back in the day, and now appointed him to join their gerrymandering party, as chair no less.

- Bravo! Hundreds of rural Albertans line up saying “No!” to Synapse’s noisy polluting AI data centre and 1.4 GW gas plant in Olds. It’ll raise ambient heat by 2c for 10 km around, waste water and energy to make sleazy stolen lying kid and women abusing slop that harms many and most do not want. Using frac’d gas to produce stupidity is a stupid idea and AI is a bubble soon to pop, which will destroy finances for many. PS Monterey Park, Ca voted 86% to *permanently* ban data centres!

- PM Mark Carney, Zionist Racist, brings in plan which smells like charter violations and McCarthyism if we protest Israel’s genocides, rapes, targeting of health care workers, journalists, land and resource thefts, water and farm destruction, and other horrific crimes.
