Danielle Smith: The loss of Jasper is tragic, but we can all take comfort in how much money the oil industry is still making

“All any of us can do in the face of such horrifying destruction is hold tight to what really matters. And the only thing that matters in this province is the ability of fossil fuel producers to continue to do their work."

#Jasper and the neighbour cat

Because elsewhere I mentioned #Jasper, the old—i.e. my age—dog whom I adopted by end of March 2022 … here’s a photo from later last year.
He was extremely emaciated when we first met, and like me, he had no teeth anymore, which ofc made me feel solidary with him.
Meanwhile, with a good diet, he gained half as much weight as I have lost—we did that synchronously, because suddenly I walked in The Outside a LOT.
I feel more human, and he, meanwhile, is a happy dog again, and contributes to my happiness.
