Canada Coup

The takeover of Canada by the Oil Cartel, based in Alberta, strongly allied with the US Republican Party  becomes more clear every day.  The world’s richest corporations  do not want to govern and waste their time working hard to run Nations. There is nation building and then there is Resource Extraction. This kind of resource extraction that seeks to export raw material without adding value to asset, is a form of rapid impoverishment of nations without lasting compensations.  No infrastructure is left.  No educational  or cultural development accompanies such commerce. The most profit accrues to those who can move in, extract the asset, move out quickly and avoid paying for clean up.
There is no lasting benefit for the people who owned the assets, lived on the land where assets were located or worked on the extraction of the assets and were then cast aside with their  families. There are no governments to protect the interests of these people since any such governments were removed to be replaced by those who would serve the interests of the Corporate Resource seeking powers. These Corporations regard their selected governments as they would “bouncers” in a night  club they owned.  Their purpose is to silence opposition and dissent, clear away any regulatory requirements that might hinder or delay resource extraction thus clearing their paths to the resources,  their  extraction and their movement.  Part of this plan is to crush Labour Unions, lower wages, translate all social value into monetary terms and create a worshipful climate for the acquisition of wealth.
The first major step in any resistance to this is to end the dominance of Oil. This will take time.  The first stage is to create awareness. Get out this story. We must think about resisting the use of oil and gas, not as a money saving domestic budget but as revolutionary resistance.   Cut back in every possible way on using fossil fuels and all non-renewables.  Where  possible shop locally.  Avoid travel.  Use solar panels.  Share one vehicle; car pool, use public transit. Share information. We must all become revolutionaries.
