There's no fossil fuel based energy security in the age of ubiquitous cheap long-range attack drones.

Yes we do.

Posted while First Nations communities in Northern Ontario are literally being incinerated and the skies above Canada’s biggest cities are glowing orange

I hope that when Liberal MPs who claim to care about climate change wake up coughing on smoke from a climate-fueled wildfire that is devastating First Nations communities in northern Ontario, they ask themselves: Do we really want to buy oil CEOs another pipeline? www.aptnnews.ca/national-new...

I don't love the smell of climate change in the morning

The sad thing is IMO I don’t think the world’s going to need this oil in the early 2030s when it comes on line, which will come through as low prices, low royalties, and huge long term increased emissions and cleanup liabilities we won’t have funds for. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Tell me again how now (still) isn't the right time to fight climate change

My comment in this story: "This is a master class in greenwash, as the pollution reductions committed to in this agreement are only seven per cent of current carbon pollution from the oilsands and would be dwarfed by the additional pollution enabled by a new, taxpayer-financed pipeline."

You can tell an infrastructure project is desperately needed by a private industry when the government has to pay for it and also pay that private industry to use it.

Hey Canada: we should also have a moratorium on mega- AI data centres until we have legislated environmental, democratic and human rights protections in place. Petition to Parliament here: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

The billionaires behind AI are finding new ways to deploy the age-old scourge of environmental racism.

Please stop voting for people who are horny for pipelines. I beg of you.

Also any carbon they do capture goes right back into oil reclamation making the point moot. Backdoor financing of O&G while the world heats up and makes life miserable for everyone (This does include said O&G folks too, because they are affected when everyone else suffers, they just don't know it)

"Imagine the smallest of fig leaves, but the leaf is actually made of plastic," said Keith Stewart, senior energy strategist at @greenpeaceca.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

*In other words, water use, electricity demand and carbon emissions are tightly linked. Optimizing one often means worsening the other. And almost no one outside of the companies has enough information to assess the impacts — because the industry rarely shares details about its processes."

@amyjanzwood.bsky.social brings 🔥 "Canadians are being asked to accept a multibillion-dollar, taxpayer-funded pipeline on faith that long-term oil demand will materialize because politicians say so. But vibes do not build a pipeline." www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/10/o...

You’re not the only one that opposes taxpayer-funded pipelines. Most people across Canada don’t want them, including 61% of Albertans. This fight is far from over. @mark-carney.bsky.social, @daniellesmithab.bsky.social & Ford: NO PUBLIC MONEY FOR PIPELINES.

Trump says the Iran truce is “over” as missiles fly and the Strait of Hormuz is on edge again. Tanker attacks push oil prices up. This is what fossil fuel dependence looks like: every crisis near Hormuz becomes another war and another spike in people’s bills.

This is what Kamloops looks like right now while the liberals are building more pipelines and data centers

@greenpeaceca.bsky.social called for moratorium on “megadata centres” until there are legislated enviro & human rights protections on AI: “these are billionaires trying to steal our water & pollute the air so they can double our electricity while taking away our jobs” www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

They make record profits, we struggle to pay rent. To buy groceries. To live. Corporate greed is ruining us, and Canada deserves better. Add your name for an excess profits tax on oil and gas companies profiting off war >> act.gp/4gnGJGG

Hear me out here: What if we put the pipeline UNDER the 401?

All over the world, tech antitrust has gone into retreat. In Canada, ex-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau created sweeping new powers for the country's Competition Bureau, but now his successor Mark Carney is making equally sweeping cuts to the agency's funding. 23/

We have a winner...

Keith Stewart, senior energy strategist for @greenpeaceca.bsky.social, said the plan makes no sense economically or environmentally. “Why don’t we cut out the middleman & just have Canadians send their tax dollars directly to ExxonMobil?... (1/2) www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

It's kind of funny that one way Canada *could* find a few hundred thousand barrels of spare capacity would be to rapidly electrify the vast majority of what's currently gasoline and diesel use but we won't do that because that too hurts Alberta's fee fees.

This is something I want to believe

The private sector isn’t going to pay for a new oil pipeline or the production to fill it. ❌💰 With planned tune-ups of existing pipes, capacity is well above planned production increases. 📈 This pipeline is about politics — not economics. #cdnpoli #abpoli

Or, in other words: "Carney is in a culture war whether he wants to be or not, and he’s trying to fight it with an updated marketing strategy. It’s insufficient to the task, and because of that it’s likely to fail in political terms." www.tvo.org/article/anal...

Hâte de voir le tracé de Danielle Smith pour son pipeline : au nord, au sud ou dans l’espace? Ce qui est sur c'est que personne ne veut le constuire : pas de promoteur, pas de marché et l'industrie privée refuse de le financer. P-e que Trump accepterait de payer de sa poche pour 😝? [1]

This Potemkin Pipeline is the most elaborate political pantomime I've ever seen. Sadly, I think this holds up remarkably well (i.e. Carney fell for the bait-and-switch): www.greenpeace.org/canada/en/st...

Heatwave tip of the day: STOP EXTRACTING fossil fuels and stop enabling the big polluters making heatwaves hotter, longer and more dangerous.

In time for Canada Day, a powerful 4-part video series from re-generation, "How to Buy a Country." It gives the essential backstory to our fight for survival against Trump: free trade, staples dependence, and political domination. Trailer: youtube.com/watch?v=r5-3.... #cdnpoli /2

More ironic than Jagged Little Pill: Carney's flight to Edmonton for announcement on new climate-wrecking pipeline grounded by extreme weather www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

Absolutely worth the cash. I'm halfway through my copy (bought at Another Story bookstore).

all the talking heads saying we need to show albertans that the rest of canada understands their concerns and make policy changes to prove it, when what they’re really saying is we need to give into an extreme right-wing minority in alberta by gutting climate policy to appease the oil industry

Important work. My hot take on this is it's yet another example of why a strong functioning state that funds research by taxing companies is so important for our world. It's far from perfect but it's certainly better than individual companies giving large direct donations for research.

If you’ve been following the Canadian ‘new oil sands pipeline in exchange for carbon capture’ Grand Bargain drama, this chart from a new @propublica.org report on how the fossil fuel industry turned the plan to solve climate change into a plan to save itself is a powerful reality check

The European heatwave is not the new normal. "Normal" is going to keep changing until we stop adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. The more we emit, the more the planet warms, the more people suffer, that is the basic math of climate change.

New @uwaterloo.ca study: Areas of Canada's boreal peatlands damaged by oil & gas exploration have failed to recover as scientists & companies predicted. Instead, methane emissions have tripled, with global implications. uwaterloo.ca/news/media/d...

This might be one of the funniest chart about energy scenarios I’ve seen. You can hardly see “actual” for gas

Oil companies knew, and oil companies lied: "carbon majors were aware by the 1980s of prospective impacts of fossil fuels on corals from ocean acidification, marine heatwaves, sea-level rise & intensified storms & later funded efforts downplaying such impacts." www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Today's G7 declaration on critical minerals includes an important and useful recognition of the importance of the circular economy in minimizing extraction. www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

Send in the goons? This is why we need a 'critical minerals' strategy that clearly prioritizes the clean energy transition rather than military applications. Kristi Noem hired in strategic advisory role for B.C. mining company globalnews.ca/news/1190912...
