We are not living in an era of optional climate policy. We are living in an era of planetary limits where the choices we make in city halls will determine the world our children inherit, @carolmliao.bsky.social and @naomiaklein.bsky.social write. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/13/o...

🎙️ In our new podcast episode, Seth Klein explains why the budget’s bet on carbon pricing, tax credits, and “decarbonized oil” won’t meet the moment. For more on #Budget2025 & what it means for climate, housing, and tax policy, listen here: www.climateemergencyunit.ca/podcast

Re-upping this 🧵 from when Ksi Lisims LNG was given enviro approval. The downstream emissions from Ksi Lisims will be roughly equivalent to 5% of Canada's TOTAL domestic GHG emissions. This is a carbon bomb - a willful act of arson. Mark Carney simply does not get the climate emergency... 👇

🚨 Ksi Lisims LNG has been sent to the federal Major Projects Office. If built, it would be Canada’s second-largest LNG terminal. But concerns remain about First Nations consent, long-term economic risks, and the 33 million tonnes of climate pollution it would drive. Key coverage below (🧵)

This is extremely alarming. Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social won the federal election promising to make us *less* depending on the US. Now we are hearing reports that he is offering up a CLOSER energy and military partnership in exchange for a trade deal... 🧵 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

📢 Mark Carney says Budget 2025 will be a “generational investment” in Canada’s economy. Let’s hold him to it: www.goodgreenjobsforall.ca/tell-carney A Youth Climate Corps is the kind of bold, nation-building program Canadians are demanding—jobs, resilience, and climate action rolled into one.

🍁 On Nov 4, Carney unveils Budget 2025, promising a "generational investment" in Canada. One program could deliver jobs + climate action: a Youth Climate Corps. This program would provide paid work for young people restoring ecosystems, protecting communities, and building clean infrastructure.

A coalition of more than 250 leaders has laid out five of its own major projects to replace Ottawa’s fossil-fuel push. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/30/n...

🌲 Trump just slapped Canada with new tariffs on lumber + furniture. Steel, aluminum, autos & film have all been hit too, yet oil & gas remain untouched. As Seth Klein argues, that’s where Canada should push back: a 15% export tax on oil & gas could raise ~$25B/yr for workers + a just transition.

🧡 Sept 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation & Orange Shirt Day. We honour Survivors, remember the children who never came home, and confront ongoing colonial violence. Reflection isn’t enough. Take action tomorrow and every day on our collective journey towards Truth and Reconciliation.

250+ local leaders are urging Ottawa to put its #elbowsup for climate. That means building projects that are "decarbonized, respect treaty rights, and work to protect nature, not destroy it." Learn more about their demands: elbowsupforclimate.ca

The voices of young people are clear: Youth unemployment isn’t just a statistic, it’s a crisis shaping their lives & futures. A Youth Climate Corps could put thousands to work while supporting climate & community. Tell Carney: Listen to youth & act for a YCC: www.goodgreenjobsforall.ca/tell-carney

Governments & fossil fuel companies call LNG “low-carbon.” But LNG Canada will unleash 36M tonnes CO₂/yr, equal to 9.5 coal plants or 8M cars. Far from a "clean" energy source. 🎧 Listen to the full episode & more stories that dig deeper into the climate crisis: www.climateemergencyunit.ca/podcast
