When the government claims TMX is mega profitable (Tim Hodgson keeps saying $1 billion a year), remember that we BOUGHT IT for $34 billion. So it won’t be profitable for *34 years* at this rate, and that’s if oil demand doesn’t decline! (It will!) It very likely will NEVER be profitable:

Absolutely appalling editorial by the Globe and Mail that buys/perpetuates all the false framing of the far right and platforms an anti-Indigenous conspiracy theory my research has debunked.
