    Yeah, and American oil companies are the poster children of environmentalism. And if Al Gore and Ralph Nader tag-teamed Greta Thurnberg, had a baby, put it up for adoption, and had it raised by Captain Planet himself, you wouldn’t have someone who cares more about the environment than Donald J Trump.

    /s, of course.

      All multinationals are as shitty as governments allow them to be I’m afraid, and despite canada’s reputation, like switzerland, of being progressive, they host some of the worst companies in the world alongside the US and others. The entire west has been corrupted in the past half century, all major parties seized by monied interests and ratcheting our societies to plutocracy, and that action ultimately pulls us to fascism without a popular reform option outside of fascists now backed by the two superpowers, fully intent on helping them fix themselves in power permanently.
