Getting ready to head out to this event - I'll be wearing my "Protect what you love" sweatshirt

There is a certain bleakness in finding hope where one expected certainty.

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

Yesterday, MP @patbonin.bsky.social raised the #ElbowsUpForClimate campaign in the House of Commons, amplifying the call from 250 local elected officials for investments in nation-building, not nation-burning. Learn more about why clean nation-building projects are crucial: elbowsupforclimate.ca

“Why does anyone think they'll uphold any of their side of any bargain that is made? They did nothing other than fight every single policy, and there are none of these policies now in any serious way.” My take on oilsands. @nationalobserver.com www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/24/n...

Dozens of former world leaders have joined the global call to make Big Oil & Gas pay for the destruction they’ve caused. 8 in 10 people worldwide support taxing fossil fuel giants to pay for climate damages. Now, leaders from five continents are backing that call.

This is exciting.

At the UN Climate Summit today, many of Canada's allies will reaffirm & strengthen their commitment to climate action—but PM Carney will be notably absent. Amid increasing uncertainty over this government's climate approach, we need to know: is Canada in, or out? shorturl.at/z5zFz

Tens of thousands in 70+ communities across Canada took to the streets in an unprecedented & historic cross-movement mobilisation to #DrawtheLine and demand Mark Carney & the federal government pick a side: injustice, violence, and climate destruction — or a just and safe future for all of us.✊

Mark Carney co-signed EU statement: "This shift is driven by the existential threat of climate change, a shared recognition that energy security is national security & the understanding that clean energy is the route to delivering energy security & growth for citizens." ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

Greenpeace is deeply alarmed by reports that vessels in the Global Sumud Flotilla have come under attack by drones in international waters. This attempt to intimidate and endanger civilians is unacceptable and unlawful. Full statement: act.gp/3KjkmUY

Big and welcome news from south of the border

Canada exemplifies all this. We're approving new LNG exports and entertaining new oil pipelines. Politicians argue that we'll win by selling the cleanest barrel, but our oil is among the dirtiest. We're especially vulnerable, oil and LNG, due to high production costs, so govts subsidize producers.//

Terrific coverage here of yesterday's DRAW THE LINE protests from CTV National News: youtu.be/tuXYlgSuKtE?...

From the geoengineering op ed, I think it comes down to what you believe about this risk they lay out. My general view on the social aspects of the tech stuff has evolved over the years and I now think this risk outweighs the benefit of doing the geo engineering.

Toronto rises to fight for justice #drawtheline

Gearing up for the Toronto #DrawTheLine March. #TimeToResist

TODAY! EVERYWHERE! JOIN US!

TODAY: 65+ actions taking place across Canada calling for climate justice, Indigenous sovereignty, rights for migrants, stopping the war machine, and people over profits. #DrawTheLine #Climate #cdnpoli Details on all local actions: drawtheline.world/canada?r=CA&...

‘Draw the Line’: Climate actions across Canada broaden to include poverty, social justice advocacy reported by @mmughees.bsky.social

“Targeting activists for deportation is not a rule of law, it's a rule of fear. This sets a dangerous precedent: using immigration enforcement to criminalize political dissent and silence protest.” Our full statement and how you can support Khalil’s appeal here: www.greenpeace.org/usa/we-must-...

I found it! Irrefutable evidence of government waste. They're paying this @jm-mcgrath.bsky.social guy twice!

Obtained federal planning documents say its "critical" to incorporate climate risks like wildfires for major events like the G7 Summit. That's quite the contrast to the Kananaskis Wildfire Charter issued during the summit that did not include a single reference to climate change.

Carney’s ‘elbows up’ promise to defend Canadian sovereignty seems to have gone up in smoke. Surely he didn’t mean elbows up and…to the right, right? This bill needs to be withdrawn NOW: act.gp/46KmZHS #StopBillC2 @leahgazan.bsky.social

An MP doing their job: scrutinizing legislation and holding the government to account.

Great CP piece ahead of this Saturday's Draw the Line actions: "What's taken shape, organizers say, is a level of cross-country collaboration not seen in recent memory among progressive civil society groups..." www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/politics/pro...

My inner pedant wants to point out that being anti-fascist (Antifa) is a state of mind not an actual organization. Then I slap myself because saying Trump isn't following proper legal protocols blinds us to what he is doing: executing an authoritarian playbook www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

Looking forward to this on Saturday (and it's just the start): Progressive groups rally ‘common front’ to march, challenge elements of Carney agenda www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

MY GOD, I HAVE A NEW HERO. SHE HAD THEM SO HOOKED AND THEN BAM, SHE ATE THEM, BONES AND ALL.

For those thinking it could never happen here, may I refer you to the Public Inquiry into Anti-Alberta Energy Campaigns, the UCP offer of $10M to fund oil company lawsuits against climate advocates, and (of course) the ill-fated Energy War Room www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

“The oil industry isn’t asking for a deal, they’re demanding unconditional surrender,” said [me]. “It is utter folly in a long-term economic and environmental sense.” calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

There are now 70 DRAW THE LINE actions planned across the country. Find the one closest to you here: drawtheline.world/canada?r=CA&...

Changes to Alberta’s industrial carbon pricing system weaken its long-standing emissions trading market and threaten critical investments in low-carbon projects in the province. Read our full statement from @dalebeugin.bsky.social climateinstitute.ca/news/alberta...

hot take: Proposed update to TIER that allows companies to count on site investments as payments is not good policy. 1. It's hard to set the BAU against which these investments count 2. It is double counting, thats the whole point of a carbon tax 1/ www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?...

Damning rationale for yesterday’s approval of Ksi Lisims LNG… No consent from the majority of affected First Nations. The project is wholly-owned by Western LNG, a Texas-based company that is 100% backed by US private equity. The project has major investment from Trump’s billionaire backers #bcpoli

“Together, we can demand that Prime Minister Carney and the Canadian government pick a side: injustice, violence and climate destruction — or a just and safe future for all of us.” #canpoli

Past events exist, after all, only in memory, which is a form of imagination. The event is real now, but once it’s then, its continuing reality is entirely up to us, dependent on our energy and honesty.

Backpedalling on climate policy to appease Trump is not what Canadians voted for [said me]. “It would be a tragic mistake for the Liberal government to back off on climate action while wildfires are still burning across this country,” www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

More than 200 musicians demand Carney move away from fossil fuels. 'Canada is burning' reads the campaign's letter, signed by the @theweatherstation.bsky.social , Luna Li, Cris Derksen, @danmanganmusic.com, @sarahharmer.bsky.social and more www.cbc.ca/music/carney...

What happens if projects of vital national importance have no private sector backers? What happens if the only projects brought forward seek to double down on the very industries that created our present economic vulnerabilities? You get a list like this. www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

LNG Canada Phase 2 is the largest project in Carney's first batch of major projects and would double export capacity at the site. I'd bet Ottawa forks over some cash to make it happen — Carney suggested the Major Projects Office would consider that. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/11/n...

my latest for the Star, pointing out the v obv disconnect between bill C2 — the Strong Borders Act — and the whole elbows up thing pro tip: you can’t claim the entire security & economic partnership is over and then willingly hand over all sorts of info sans warrant to the US

Carney also said Pathways carbon capture project could reduce oilsands GHGs by equivalent of 90% of Alberta's cars & trucks. From 2025 GHG inventory: Oil sands GHGs: 89 MT Alberta cars & trucks: 10.3 MT Pre-greenwashing law, Pathways claimed CCS would reduce GHGs by 22 MT. So now it's 9 MT?

Greenpeace Canada Reaction to C-5 National Projects List announcement www.greenpeace.org/canada/en/pr...

Grateful @davidgilbert.bsky.social covered this. I NEVER celebrated anyone’s murder. I said I was terrified the far-right would use this as an excuse to retaliate, and they’re proving me right with every post. These guys are out for blood. They don’t care whose. This is really bad.

Reminder to #media for when Pathways Alliance carbon capture ends up on “project of national interest” list so it can bypass environmental laws: 10 First Nations & 2 Métis associations have asked federal govt a full Impact Assessment of this "massive and unprecedented project".
