Hands up if you want to see how much of the Petroleum Club’s restaurant and bar bills are subsidized by taxpayers.

And the bars at the Palliser, Fairmont MacDonald, Chateau Laurier etc etc etc.

And private boxes at hockey and football games.

Have pretty much had it with Fat Cats telling Indigenous groups and environmentalists to stick to bake sales and bingo nights, from their Mount Royal mansions...
Who wants a REAL inquiry into influence campaigns over O&G in Canada?

OPEN THE BOOKS on Big Oil’s lobbying, PR, marketing, legal and hospitality budgets. Its foreign ownership value.

Every write-off and tax deduction.

You want to play this game? Let’s go.
Let’s see your executive compensation. Your options agreements.

You want to pick on volunteers and small town groups that care about their communities?

Quit hiding behind researchers you pay with speaking fees, and show what you’re made of.

Literally.
Show us the political fundraisers you’re hosting for your “friends.”

Very concerning thread.

The Post Millenial is a Breitbart/Rebel style outlet.

Beyond the pale for any Canadian national leader to post its content.

A few more thoughts about polling averages--

Below is @FiveThirtyEight’s latest 2020 national chart going back to March.

And RCP’s for the same period up to E-day in 2016. 1/ ImageImage
Although 538 gives Biden the same odds today as it gave Clinton as a final projection in 2016 (71%), this is a markedly different race.
@FiveThirtyEight Biden has reached and held a SOLID 50% support for the last 3 months--

A level of support Clinton never achieved after Trump was nominated.

Just like Harper’s $13M CRA witch-hunt against enviro groups, Kenney’s inquisition is collapsing.

This country has funnelled millions into investigations of citizen groups & non-profits on the word of a single crusader, whose work was never fact-checked.
Their crime? Being part of a global movement to save the Earth from fossil fuels.

Which they freely admit

1. 538 gave Trump a better than 1-in-4 chance of winning in 2016, so it’s hard to say they were wrong.

2. However, it IS true that the swing states polls were wayyy off.

THREAD
3. Still, even though many poll analysts are giving Biden similar odds to Clinton, I think his odds are better, notwithstanding the incumbent advantage AND electoral college bias towards GOP.

Here’s why

@laurelEwest
4. 2018. The 2018 mid-terms feel like a better comparable voter verdict on Trump than 2016, which was a campaign about Clinton emails.

In 2018 the polls accurately foretold the Blue Wave, & that’s the dynamic at play now.

There’s a LOT packed into this single graph, & why I’m (so far) not getting super-anxious about the Trumpworld reaction if defeated.

THREAD
First, remember Trump’s avg approval, which is below 42% today.

According to this graph, ~37% of those suppoters would be really angry if Biden wins.

Ie: ~15% of the US public.
This is even visible at his “rallies.” Remember the disaster of Tulsa, and the people yawning at his speech.

He’s not Mr Excitement anymore, & everyone knows it.

There are signs of much too poor/inadequate governance for a charity of WE’s income stream.

a) board turnover, & signs of a captive board in Canada
b) inadequate Cdn governance expertise—WE cd not form a minimally competent Cdn finance/audit cttee w current board. 1/
c) captive auditor? Same small audit firm for entirety of charity’s life. Overdue for fresh eyes & tier-1 auditor.
d) board is MUCH too small & inexperienced for org size.
e) senior marquee board members tend to be in foreign jurisdictions—eg the Kissinger/Theranos effect 2/
f) classic Founder Syndrome signs. Personality/charisma driven w weak/closely held or absentee governing structure. 3/
