Can the new defence strategy include closing the Canada-US loophole enabling arms parts and explosives to travel un-permitted and untracked to the US where they then end up in Israel for use on Palestinians? And also – for use by ICE. 👉 #CloseTheLoopholes www.greenpeace.org/canada/en/st...

Oh for a world where right wing movements weren't so extreme in their racism (yet still platformed) that I didn't have to agree with Jason Kenney.

This is incredible

Gotta say, in some ways it's quite useful to humanity that the anti-science guys, the white supremacists, the fossil fuel boosters and the pedophiles are *the same people*

A solid wrap-up of the latest @climateinstitute.bsky.social report by @thecanadianpressnews.ca.web.brid.gy's Nick Murray: the Carney government is taking us ever further away from meeting out climate commitments (and our performance is the worst in the G7) www.aptnnews.ca/national-new...

Is Canada's national paper the Globe and Mail publishing AI op-eds from oil lobbyists? A recent piece the Globe ran attacking climate regulations seemed like it was written by robots. So I put the op-ed into an AI detector and here was the result lol

I had to prep for a media interview on🇨🇦's new auto strategy, & thought I'd summarize where I landed. It's far better from the perspective of comprehensively supporting the transition from the supply side & the charging network, but worse because we lose the mandatory sales🧵

The shamelessness of Canada's oil lobby: OK, so the 'grand bargain' was Carney gives us a new pipeline & no emissions cap in exchange for us supporting industrial carbon pricing & methane regs, but expecting us to hold up our end of deal is 'mixed messages' www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Attention Canadian LNG promoters: How does this not apply equally to our prospects? #GoSolar

NEW: lawmakers in new york rolled out a proposed data center moratorium bill today, making NY at least the sixth state to introduce legislation pausing data center development in the past few *weeks*:

More back-sliding on climate: Carney is eliminating the Electric Vehicle Availability Standard that would have mandated 100% EVs by 2035. New target is 75% EVs by 2035, 90% by 2040 but it's not clear if not-yet-finalized policy will achieve this www.canada.ca/en/innovatio...

Very disappointed to see the EV mandate in Canada being dropped. Based on recent and ongoing work modelling EV adoption I expect this will slow EV adoption in Canada through lack of vehicle availability. 1/ www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Fascinating story by Marco Oved for theToronto Star on real live job transitions happening as fossil fuel jobs continue to disappear. This one-time oil driller now drills for geothermal, and life is better. Cites our research on employment trends. www.thestar.com/news/gta/fro...

Great story, with possibly the greatest author's disclosure of all time: "Disclosure: Prior to his election, the author was Councilor Green’s DM in a Dungeons & Dragons campaign."

ICE OUT 🙅‍♂️ Today we paid a visit to the Brampton headquarters of Roshel – the Canadian company building armoured vehicles for ICE. We're calling on all MPs to support Bill C-233 #CloseTheLoopholes Bill. Let's all support our neighbours next door. ADD YOUR VOICE >> act.gp/3Zgw2fj

"Canada cannot claim to defend human rights while exporting armoured vehicles that will be used to terrorize communities”: @greenpeaceca.bsky.social calls on MPs to halt export of armoured vehicles to U.S. immigration agency ICE www.greenpeace.org/canada/en/pr...

My latest investigation is out. In the town of Caledon, Ont., political operatives thought they could create an anonymous, untraceable "citizen-led grassroots" campaign. But they forgot to scrub the image metadata. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/02/i...

"Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree says he won’t pass judgment on the U.S. crackdown by federal forces in Minnesota that resulted in the deaths of two residents." The 🇨🇦 government is looking to amend & pass sweeping surveillance legislation. Minister, you might want to have an opinion.

Good news. Roshel and Hootsuite: take note.

Kitimat was the intended endpoint for the Northern Gateway pipeline (shorter pipeline, but that's because tankers have to navigate a long and dangerous channel to reach open water). I presume this still leaves Prince Rupert on table (the one Smith seemed to want earlier).

We stand with Minnesota ✊ Selling armoured vehicles to ICE isn't Canada Strong. It's Canada COMPLICIT. @mark-carney.bsky.social @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social No more Canadian arms for ICE!!! act.gp/4rfbKi6

Now that we have cheaper and cleaner alternatives, expanding fracked gas exports might be good for oil companies and increasingly authoritarian petrostates, but it is: bad for affordability, bad for security, and bad for the climate. act.gp/3M4rpBT @climatekeith.bsky.social

Ford was pleased, Canadians were shocked 😱 Why would Armoured Vehicles made in Canada be approved for use by ICE – a US Agency accused of human rights violations? But for those like @palyouthmvmt.bsky.social @cjpme.org @ijvcanada.bsky.social & others, it comes as no surprise 👇 act.gp/3MyxLtf

We're just over here, kicking at the darkness til it bleeds daylight...

We stand with Minnesota ✊❤️ Selling armoured vehicles to ICE isn't Canada Strong. @mark-carney.bsky.social @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social STOP the sale of Canadian arms to ICE and #CloseTheLoopholes! act.gp/4jY60a0 @greenpeaceca.bsky.social

DeSmog obtained audio of Mark Carney's former chief of staff describing key goals for the PM and it's a lot less radical-sounding than Carney's recent speech at Davos Grow oil production, sell LNG, revive NAFTA 🙄 Read more from @marylouisestuart.bsky.social www.desmog.com/2026/01/27/m...

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

Totally normal thing for a daily newspaper to publish. Tear gas tips: 1. Never wear contact lenses to protest. 2. Track which way wind is blowing (literal + metaphorical). 3. Bring water + bandana, breathe thru damp cloth. 4. Rinse eyes with just water. 5. Wash skin with soap + water ASAP.

Dear headline writers: it is possible to be clear on what is happening. Second killing in Minneapolis brings tensions to a boil: As White House pushes baseless claims, protesters say shooting has hardened their resolve www.theglobeandmail.com/world/us-pol...

For the second time this month, DHS agents killed a U.S. citizen participating in a nonviolent protest. Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse with the VA and federal overreach means another innocent life is gone. DHS, a department charged with protecting Americans, is terrorizing our communities.

I guess I won't be barbecuing tonight

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

New estimates put Africa’s solar at 63GW, shattering previous counts of 23GW. Driven by flood of off-the-radar imports, Africa went from zero to 63 GW in under a decade Africa is now the fastest-growing region for solar globally. Slowly, then suddenly. www.pv-magazine.com/2026/01/22/a...

Tell me again why Canada is doubling-down on expanding oil sands production and building a new export pipeline? China’s rapid electrification has been hailed as a miracle. By some measures, India is even further ahead www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

According to regulatory filings, Beacon AI's first 2 proposed fossil gas-powered data centres in Alberta would emit 9.2 MT of GHGs. That's more than TOTAL emissions from electricity generation in 8 of 10 provinces (AB & SK emit more) iaac-aeic.gc.ca/050/document... iaac-aeic.gc.ca/050/document...

Why are we even considering this? Proposed AI data center in Alberta would require 200 gas turbines, emit 4.4 million tonnes of GHGs per year (light duty gasoline vehicles in AB emit 2.3 MT/year). No commitment to reduce this & thanks to Fed-AB MOU, they don't have to iaac-aeic.gc.ca/050/evaluati...

Greenpeace calls for curbs on luxury flights & taxes on super-rich" “It’s pure hypocrisy that the world’s most powerful & super-rich elite discuss global challenges & progress in Davos, while they literally burn the planet with the emissions of their private jets.” www.euronews.com/green/2026/0...

Owners are running for cover, so it is definitely not the time to be fast-tracking or subsidizing more LNG: "existing and potential owners will consider industry fears of global oversupply of the supercooled fuel, as new LNG output comes online."

Scott Moe and I are both happy: good for canola farmers and brings low-cost, high-quality EVs into Canadian market. Oh glorious day. Now to get Chinese EV manufacturers to make them here...

Many friends asking what it is like in Minnesota right now. This video-clip tells. Masked men w/ guns in ordinary places (gas stations, grocery stores, cruising streets) intimidating ordinary people & instilling fear. As a terrorism expert, I think about the logic of government instilling fear.
