We can’t afford pharmacare, but…

So glad we dropped the gas taxes in Canada, starving the public purse of much needed income in a time of unprecedented spending.

But at least the price at the pumps is cheaper now, right?

Right?

ConocoPhillips last week reported $2.3bn in profits for the first three months of 2026, up 84% from before the war began. Meanwhile, top petroleum refiner Valero Energy announced quarterly profits of $1.2bn, beating estimates. Liberty Energy, founded and formerly run by Donald Trump’s energy secretary Chris Wright, saw quarterly earnings of $10m, up 32% from before the war began. BP, meanwhile, said it had seen “exceptional” performance, more than doubling its profits during the year’s first quarter, while Shell on Thursday also reported its first-quarter profits were stronger than expected.

The oil majors Chevron and ExxonMobil both saw their profits drop during the first three months of 2026, executives reported in earnings calls. Yet in short order, that trajectory will shift, analysts say. Consensus estimates shows ExxonMobil’s second-quarter earnings will more than double from a year ago, while Chevron profits are expected to increase by 56% for the year.

Trump’s Iran war may stymie climate gains with boost to big oil, experts say

Windfall profits could lock in Trump-era political wins for the industry and slow clean-energy transition

This is not an ‘accident’. This facility is almost brand-new. This is another example of a fossil fuel giant misleading the community and completely disregarding the regulations. When are we going to smarten up and realize these companies’ false promises are smoke & mirrors?

one of the most delightful aspects of this unfolding disaster, apart from the sheer schadenfreudean #karma of its

Low-lying southern Louisiana faces multiple threats, with rising sea levels driven by global heating, compounded by strengthening hurricanes, also a feature of the climate crisis, and the gradual subsidence of a coastline that has been carved apart by the oil and gas industry...is the anticipatory delight of how much this will enrage all the knuckle-dragging RWNJs, who will ofc reflexively rush forth as a bilious tidal wave to flood the zone with yet more of their hateful fact-free morally-bereft shitfuckery

Yes, but if we stop buying fossil fuels from them, how are hardworking warmongers supposed to fund their wars?
Also, said warmongers need to mine the seabed to extract materials to make more weapons to keep their wars going. (and we know mining and windfarms cannot coexist, so...)

Expect them to folllow the #FossilFools playbook and look for ways to offload that debt onto taxpayers.

Really enjoyed speaking alongside a couple other activists to an audience of engaged, creative and outspoken rangatahi on today's Climate Action workshop.

The kids are alright, now if we could only move the #fossilFools dinosaurs out of the way and let the young ones do their thing.... 🤔

i was initially just gonna tag this with my frequent tag #wearetotallyfucked then leave it at that, but then i had this additional thought...

...yes our society truly is built on petrochemicals, & our realistic chances of being 100% rid of them is slim to bugger all for foreseeable generations, yet... if we can manage to stop using fossilfools as an actual combustion fuel source, for most of our domestic, industry, & transport applications, then by definition our additional CO2 loading of the atmosphere would dramatically fall, thus finally making inroads on our hitherto unbroken rise in accelerating our #climatecrisis . so after all i don't think this article is as depressing as first blush

ofc, we won't actually DO any of this, coz humans basically are fuckheads
