This quote comes from Trump. But it is ideologically aligned with Scheer, Ford & Kenney and their focus on prosperity over the existential threat of climate change from FF use.
Kind of makes you wonder what the common factor is behind the focus on prosperity vs survival of the planet.
It’s not obvious, because Trump and Ford are both boorish, gluttonous, & avarice fuelled capitalists.
But there is one factor that is common to all prosperity seekers.
The subject is taboo. Because it seems to involve religion. We are culturally indoctrinated to refrain from discussing religion.
But that pairing is a ruse. A deception to cloak the actions of a nefarious cult that generates exclusive access to wealth.
Dominionists have a stranglehold on the US Government and want exclusive access to Canadian resources.
They call themselves Christian, but that is to distract from the annihilation cult they all support. Some members, like Scheer & Kenney, believe their own rhetoric.
Others, like Trump & Ford, stand to benefit through the exclusive access to fossil fuel resource production. The impact on the rest of the globe’s inhabitants isn’t a consideration. It’s not on their radar.
These are people whose belief system &/or value system are toxic and self-serving. They cloak themselves in a shield of religious fundamentalism to preemptively disarm any criticism of their actions and dogmatic adherence.
This makes examining or dismantling their malevolent association and its intent difficult to accomplish.
It’s time to confront the taboo regarding criticism of “religious” doctrine.
Or perish en masse because it makes us uncomfortable to broach the subject.

You are NOT Christian if you believe Jesus wants you to load people with brown skin into a vehicle to be deported from the US because they’re not white.
Believing Jesus wants you to force brown people out of US is fascist totalitarianism or palingenetic ultranationalism.
But it’s NOT Christian. JESUS was not in favour of judgement nor violence. “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone”. John 8:7
Even as he was dying on the cross, he asked for forgiveness for those who had sinned against him.
Luke 23:34
Forgiveness, compassion, love and generosity are Christian values. Not retribution. Not evil committed in Jesus’s name.
I’m flabbergasted that so many people continue to believe this is about freedom of speech or expression.
Trump has moved beyond speech with the assistance of Project 2025.
He’s attacking freedom of thought.
In a coordinated attack, Trump, Christian nationalists and white supremacists are eliminating the public’s right to freedom of thought by eliminating all forms of factual information.
By making truth unknowable, Trump then tells the public what to think.
Dissenters aren’t being removed for mere speech violations. It’s for promoting independent thought based on verifiable facts.
Trump started this attack on free thought in 2016 at his inauguration. He forced Sean Spicer to proclaim his crowd was bigger than Obama’s.
Maybe if we gave these outcasts just a little more attention before they misbehave, we could avoid their unimaginative effort to be memorable by behaving like an asshole to as many people as possible.
However, that’s would require acknowledgement of mediocrity and banality.
These folks are, in essence, the epitome of forgettable. Society would be required to reorganize to create meaningful roles and responsibilities for the mediocre. Because frankly, most of us are mediocre.
It is the dullness of status quo which permits the mediocre to excel.
No right exists to access crown land. And private land which abuts common/crown land must be protected from forest fires.
The forest is literally a tinderbox and every precaution must be taken. Individual rights don’t exist when the possibility of massive destruction is a risk.
The narratives being offered by libertarians, chaos agents, saboteurs, democratic subversion agents and “free-men-on-the-land” are designed to create doubt about the legality of the mandates and fines.
None of the rest of us are prepared to sacrifice the province.
Many Canadian’s lives and livelihoods are on the line. Trump has imposed additional tariffs to the 2.5% Canadian exporters would generally pay to avoid the costs of being CUSMA compliant. That’s no longer an option.
Changes in the environment require adaptation to preserve viability.
Canada is not forcing vendors and exporters to adopt one position over another. But the federal government has chosen to pivot and seek alternative markets rather than cow-tow to a maniacal wannabe dictator.
Exporters have options. Keep trading with US and become CUSMA compliant or find a new market.
Personally I believe doing both would be an easier transition for any vendor who is heavily reliant on US trade markets.
