Happy New Year! May you find joy this year in the amazing things our wonderful country has to offer like a glorious skate on the @NCC_Skateway, the largest skating rink in the world! ❤️🇨🇦❄️ #WeAreWinter

This is absolutely bonkers.

I join women worldwide calling for the immediate release of Zahra Tabari, a 67-year-old Iranian mother & engineer, who is at imminent risk of execution in Iran for holding up a banner bearing the words “Woman, Resistance, Freedom”. #SaveZahraTabari iran1988.org/signatories-...

Great to catch up with former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien to give him a copy of my book. #RunLikeAGirl. He has been a great mentor. He gave me the best political advice that I would turn to when I had a really tough decision to make: “Canadians are reasonable. Be reasonable.” Truth!

“If we don’t tackle oil and gas and oil sands, all bets are off.” Listen to my “Hot Take” on @c40cities.bsky.social Cities 1.5 podcast 👇

I find these Women Leading on Climate podcasts by @cathmckenna.bsky.social inspiring. I always love listening to @katharinehayhoe.com. It helps ground me and remind me to keep going. Today's take away: Self-care is so important for our own sustainability. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJct...

Did you miss our season finale of #WomenLeadingOnClimate podcast with @cat-abreu.bsky.social? 🎧Listen here: linktr.ee/WLOC #WomenLeadingOnClimate

Looking forward to joining Smith School of Business | Queen’s University on Jan. 21, for a fireside chat all about #RunLikeAGirl, climate, sustainability and women’s leadership. The event is free, but space is limited – register here: smith.queensu.ca/events/run-l...

“Inuit Nunangat is at the forefront of climate change, and irreversible changes are occurring in our homeland. Our adaptation costs & needs will grow whether or not global temperatures remain within 1.5 or 2.0C. ITK is deeply concerned that Canada won’t meet its emissions targets.”

“When I look around at climate work, I see women everywhere.” In our Season 1 finale of #WomenLeadingOnClimate, @cat-abreu.bsky.social talks about women as the “powerhouses of change” in climate – convening, organizing, getting things done. 🎧Listen & share: linktr.ee/WLOC #WomenLeadingOnClimate

The Paris Agreement was 10 years ago—“the first time every country agreed to a temperature target: stay well below 2°C, striving for 1.5°C”—but we’re not there yet! Listen to my chat with @davidmcguffin.bsky.social on @cangeo.bsky.social 🟢 tinyurl.com/ExploreCanGe... 🟣 tinyurl.com/ExploreCanGe...

Got my new passport. Best damn passport in the world! ❤️🇨🇦

Tax the rich

Ten years ago, 🇨🇦 showed up at #COP21 to help land an ambitious Paris Agreement: The PM, Premiers, opposition members, Indigenous leaders, environmentalists, business leaders & youth. We need that same spirit now to do the work at home - it’s about tackling climate change & winning the future.

You can get into politics to improve lives or you can go after vulnerable children and pick fights with the federal government.

Today!

Excellent piece by @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social. Well worth reading.

Integrity in climate leadership means keeping the 1.5C goal alive—and doing the work now, not later. The #StateOfClimateAction 2025 maps out the goalposts we need to hit: bit.ly/4o6hPwm @worldresources.bsky.social

Really sad to see @catabreu.bsky.social & @simondonner.bsky.social quit Canada’s Net Zero Advisory Body. Cat and Simon are globally respected climate leaders. More than ever, Canadians need experts giving independent advice about how Canada can achieve its goal of net zero emissions.

So brutal. Danielle Smith & the oilsands’ goal is increasing production, pollution, and the cost Canadians pay for climate change - while delaying the energy transition. The opposite of winning the future.

Join me next week at Rockcliffe Park to talk #RunLikeAGirl ––about leading, learning, pushing for change & more! 📍Rockcliffe Park Community Hall 🗓️ Dec. 9 at 8 p.m. Thanks Sarah Anson-Cartwright for this thoughtful article on my book. Learn more 👉 tinyurl.com/CathMcKenna-...

“Find creative solutions to tough challenges.” That’s what it takes to build a clean energy future. Great chat with Ingrid Reumert from Orsted on the latest #WomenLeadingOnClimate. 💚 Listen, subscribe & share → linktr.ee/WLOC

So grateful to the MaRS Discovery District team and the Women in Cleantech Network for such a powerful morning 💚 Being in a room full of women who are building climate solutions was incredible. Thanks for the space to talk leadership, risk, failure & getting back up again.

The thing about online hate is that it goes offline & is dangerous. In my case, it would often start with clip of Conservative politician making a personal attack in Question Period, rage farming outlets would promote, bots & trolls pile on, algorithms amplify. It needs to stop!

Books you shouldn’t miss: 📘 Saving Us by @katharinehayhoe.com 🚀 Stellar by James Arbib and @tonyseba.bsky.social 🌞 Here Comes the Sun by @billmckibben.bsky.social 🏃‍♀️ Run Like a Girl by @cathmckenna.bsky.social 📊 Principles of Transition Finance by C. Robin Castelli ...and more.

At #MyRunLikeAGirl book launch in Victoria last week, I had a conversation with @ianmauro.bsky.social. Ian asked me tough but thoughtful questions - and I did my best to answer them. Have a listen and let me know what you think.

If you raise your hand & say you’re committed to net zero, you need to do the work: short-term targets, a credible transition plan, real emissions going down, money going from fossil fuels to clean, no new investment in fossil fuel infrastructure. See our UN Expert Group “Integrity Matters” report.

If you need hope on climate, check out our new #WomenLeadingonClate podcast episode where I talk with two awesome women who are using the law to get action on climate: Client Earth CEO @lauraclarkece.bsky.social & my pinky promise friend, @sophiamathur.bsky.social! 💪

November 27, 2025: PM Carney’s Alberta pipeline partnership, @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social's resignation, support for industries affected by tariffs www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf3U... @rosiebarton.bsky.social @acoyne.bsky.social @chebert18.bsky.social @markusoff.bsky.social @althiaraj.bsky.social 🍁

Whoa. It’s called “zoom” - quite a way to respond to the Coastal First Nations request for a meeting especially when he refused to meet them before the MOU that directly affects them was announced - while doing over 50 meetings with fossil fuel lobbyists.

See CarbonTracker’s new report “Petro-Provinces at Risk”. Energy transition puts at huge risk provincial revenues from oil & gas in 2030s: - AB ⬇️ 85% - BC ⬇️ 72% - SK ⬇️ 78% Oil & gas expansion is increasingly a “high-risk, low-reward strategy”.

Imagine the hole in Alberta’s budget when the price & demand for oil is in long-term decline in 2030s as a result of the energy transition and increased demand for clean energy. Not nostalgia for the past, it’s about winning the future. Just economics, folks.

Sophia was 10 when we made a pinky promise to protect the planet — and she’s more than lived up to it. Hear her story & @lauraclarkece.bsky.social of @clientearth.bsky.social on Women Leading On Climate podcast. Listen, subscribe, share: linktr.ee/WLOC

I worked with @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social starting when I was a new Minister working hard to tackle climate change & build an economy that positioned Canada to win the energy transition. He gets it. He has worked with integrity his entire career & will continue. He is the best of politics. 🙏

People who care about climate change are “dreaming nostalgically about the past.” - Minister Hodgson Gotcha. That explains a lot.

This afternoon, I informed the Prime Minister of my decision to resign as Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, Minister responsible for Official Languages, Minister of Nature and Parks Canada, as well as his Lieutenant in Quebec. You can find my full statement below.

Working on climate is hard—but nights like Tuesday in @victoria.ca remind me why we keep going. Huge thanks to @uvic.ca, @picscanada.bsky.social, and everyone who came out for climate and your coastal waters. 💚🌊

What an incredible day in Vancouver — from an energizing afternoon with students UBC to an evening with 400+ people from business, finance, policy, philanthropy, health care and infrastructure. Huge thanks to @kookai.bsky.social for hosting a powerful “Run Like a Girl” conversation.

Wonderful day of #RunLikeAGirl events with UBC Sauder School on Monday - met hundreds of students & Vancouverites who care about climate, politics & making change! Many women asked me what gives me hope. The honest answer: That I’m not alone but in solidarity with so many amazing women! 💪

Live at @uvic.ca tonight! Join the livestream: tinyurl.com/RLAG-uvic-live

Hey Canadians: This is what winning the future looks like! (Hint: it’s not doubling down on oil and gas!) Great piece by @gmbutts.bsky.social, Rick Smith, Peter Nicholson.

What Premier isn’t???? I guess the climate crisis is over in Canada! Let’s the win the past & give up winning the cleaner, healthier, stronger future!

In Run Like a Girl I talk in detail about the attacks, harassment and threats I faced online and offline not because I need sympathy but because we need change. No woman in politics or media should have to endure targeted abuse just for doing her job and speaking up. 🔗 tinyurl.com/22jux727

Join me tonight at @uvic.ca for a conversation of climate, connection, and fighting for change. 🕖 7:00–9:30 p.m. PST (doors 6:30) 📍 University of Victoria 🔗 Event details & tickets: tinyurl.com/RLAG-uvic 🎥 Livestream: tinyurl.com/RLAG-uvic-live @picscanada.bsky.social

It’s an interesting approach to provide clarity on a tanker ban while failing to meet with the Coastal First Nations despite repeated requests - the community that would be directly affected by any spill - while having dozens or more meetings with fossil fuel lobbyists, AB, Sask.

Great to be in Vancouver today to talk to students at UBC & a sold out public event tonight about my new book #RunLikeAGirl! Lots to talk about from politics to climate action to running your own race! An important discussion at a critical time. Can’t wait! 🏃‍♀️🌎💪
