Achterstallig onderhoud aan daken vormt stille bedreiging voor Haarlemse panden: (Sponsored item) Haarlem staat bekend om zijn prachtige gevels, van de karakteristieke arbeiderswoningen in het Rozenprieel tot de statige herenhuizen rondom de Hout. Maar achter die mooie bakstenen schuilt vaak een onzichtbaar probleem dat veel eigenaren onderschatten. Bij de specialisten van dakdekkers247 merken ze dat het dak voor veel… https://www.haarlemupdates.nl/2026/03/11/achterstallig-onderhoud-aan-daken-vormt-stille-bedreiging-voor-haarlemse-panden/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Haarlem #onderhoud #daken #dakpannen #bitumen

Hmmm. #alberta wants another #pipeline to ship #bitumen to the westcoast of #britishcolumbia

Yet, there's a huge well cleanup that the public may eventually have to pay as demand and profits fall in the future. Perhaps save some of those profits now for well cleanup?

The multi-billion problem Canada’s oilpatch doesn’t want to disclose

Canada's oil and gas industry is a fiscal time bomb due to oil well cleanup liabilities that have been kept off the books.

Carney has completely lost First Nations. (Smith never had them of course)

"…they had no choice but to come to Ottawa to make their appeal, and potentially take legal action. “And one thing with First Nations and the courts? We have a very good track record of winning,” Mike Mercredi said.”

I increasingly think the Carney government will fall before July 1st. Making the MOU potentially moot.

Alberta Treaty 8 chiefs demand pause on pipeline agreement, threaten legal action | CBC News

Treaty 8 First Nations chiefs spoke in Ottawa Thursday, calling for a pause on the pipeline memorandum of understanding until they are consulted and sign off on the potential project. They're threatening legal action if that doesn't happen.

@tabmcleo toxic, carciogenic, and unrecoverable in ocean water, #bitumen should be banned. Force oil companies to upgrade their bitumen to crude oil, or face high environmental taxes. #bcpoli.

But we all know there is no business case for any more pipelines, but it is entertaining to see both Danielle Smith and Mark Carney score political points without any snowball’s chance in climate roasted hell of a project even being proposed. #tmx #oilandgas #climatecrisis

#salted #ice on #bitumen

Quite a bit risky.

"Oléoduc" is the best word I have ever seen for oil pipeline!

Also... oily Canada reputation spreading far and wide.

This #MOU puts O&G industry first and Canadians last. More #pipelines, more #bitumen & vague promises of “net-zero someday” aren’t a climate plan—they’re a delay tactic. #AB & #Canada are handing out concessions while locking us into decades of emissions and environmental risk. #cdnpoli #bcpoli

Some B.C. Liberal MPs concerned about prospect of a new oil pipeline: sources | CBC News

With Prime Minister Mark Carney poised to sign a "grand bargain" with Alberta later this week, some B.C. Liberal MPs are raising concerns about Ottawa possibly giving the greenlight to a new oil pipeline to the Pacific, sources say.

A US-engineered regime change would flood the market with cheap, easily accessed bitumen.

Bobbing Boat Oct 28

I have booked a drydock for blacking the boat.

The bitumen blacking is "like paint" and keeps the hull from rusting away. Also below the waterline, the boat will get replacement anodes whose function is to rust away, instead of the steel hull rusting away.
