Avi Lewis’s victory speech is 🔥 It’s everything everyone has wanted (except for the 1%ers who just want more, always more).

Not just Albertans getting fleeced by the nuclear snake oilagarchs, Carney is also captured.
Despite getting a much-ballyhooed $7-million in start-up costs from the Alberta Government in 2023, a year later Cenovus Energy Inc. pulled the plug on its study of the potential for so-called small modular reactors to generate power to wring oil from Alberta’s oilsands.
