I walk through the parking lot of the world HQ of #IrvingOil everyday on my way to work. It's literally next door.

I pass employees coming or going to their f-150s and teslas, and I just want to scream at them "DON'T YOU SEE WHAT YOUR COMPANY - WHAT **YOU** ARE DOING TO THE PLANET... TO US ALL?!"

I don't know how much longer I can hold back.

Why aren't the kindly folks at #irvingOil stepping up to help the homeless? Some of them are ex-employees.

FINALLY some big media attention over the mystery illness that struck my province - only to be swept under the rug via political interference, even ruining the career of the only doctor those 50+ patients had.

What was found most likely to be responsible was the rampant usage of defoliants, specifically #glyphosate by none other than JD #irving - brother to #irvingOil.
