Some good news today for building trades unions from TC Energy regarding Keystone XL construction.
“We are proud to partner with these union trades and craft workers to ensure this pipeline will be built by qualified professionals with specialized skills to the highest safety and quality standards,” said Richard Prior, President of Keystone XL. “We are especially proud of the new Green Jobs Training Program, which is an investment in thousands of current and future union workers."
Any time the skill and value of the unionized skilled trades is bolstered, it's a win for all of us.

Colonists keep talking about energy needs, but nobody is saying about what kind of energy needs we're referring to here. Are we talking about all the advertising billboards & huge televisions screens lighting up our night skies? Are we talking about the production & utilization of useless and mind-numbing products that enslave us to pointless servitude? This is no accident, and we are not just stumbling around trying to figure our way around here. It's all planned this way. It’s not about the economy and energy needs because there are suppressed technologies out there that can do away with most all our societal problems. It’s about power, control and those unwilling to give that addiction up. Christian Imperialism created this social and ecological mess here on Turtle Island through the Doctrine of Discovery. Christianity is the only religion in the world that created a racist International law in order to STEAL the Land, resources and children away from Indigenous People's around the world. This is how all you outsiders came here to enjoy a better life… at my Peoples expense. The UNDRIP affirms, “All doctrines, policies and practices based on or advocating superiority of peoples or individuals on the basis of national origin or racial, religious, ethnic or cultural differences are racist, scientifically false, legally invalid, morally condemnable and socially unjust.” #AllLifeMatters #Decolonize #IndigenousSolidarity {Operation Decolonization/Matthew 9:17} The Indigenous/covid version video… www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbC0l07fLaY&t=1s
