The immediate status quo, centrist attacks on Avi Lewis are precisely why he is effective and needed. In face of growing right wing escalation, an unbashadely left opposition that is anti capitalist & internationalist is both principled *and* realistic.

I feel like in moments like these it’s essential context that there’s no real Liberal Party equivalent in Alberta. The federal NDP has to define itself as a different but better option than the federal Liberals to win. The provincial NDP can benefit from appearing similar to the federal Liberals.

Saying there's strong support for new pipelines etc. & leaving it at that is misleading. That support mostly 'polite.' The real support is for renewables: 58% of Canadians say transitioning away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy is more important than ever only 11% say it’s less. #CDNpoli

Canada’s lobbying laws have major gaps. As one watchdog notes: letters, emails, texts, and other communications are not required to be disclosed. What aren’t we seeing? Writer Taylor C. Noakes investigates: https://ow.ly/unAz50YzIO7

I hope Canadians remember every liberal MP, every Cabinet member, who has willingly turned the "liberals" into the new conservatives.

❗️ REVEALED: Former oil and gas CEO Gwyn Morgan has funnelled over $9.5M to a vast anti-climate network of conservative think tanks, organizations, and media. We mapped Morgan’s influence machine. Check it out below:

@indigenousclimateaction has officially released their latest report: Nature-Based Climate Solutions. While NbCS are often positioned as climate solutions, this report takes a deeper look at what they mean for Indigenous Peoples, lands, and sovereignty […]

thats called "stealing"

I have outlived reactionary biologist Paul Ehrlich who was wrong to blame women’s fertility for economic decline and am now fighting with pro-natalist ideologues who are wrong to blame women’s fertility for economic decline. Women’s fertility = not the problem www.nytimes.com/2026/03/15/b...

we start by making people too embarrassed to ever admit things like this in public again.

Come on Bluesky, this deserves a proper roasting. Two climate villains posing as climate superheroes, getting chummy about all the new fossil fuels they're unlocking - RIGHT IN THE MIDST of a global crisis caused by over-reliance on the product they're celebrating

(1/2) Bay du Nord is not, nor never can be viable. Stop misleading people on oil futures that don't exist. If you want the facts on the project: www.sierraclub.ca/bay-du-nord-... Equinor’s stock was downgraded due in part to continued consideration of Bay du Nord: www.sierraclub.ca/investment-b...

Juno News can get a reply from an IRCC spokesperson (www.junonews.com/p/immigratio...), but Jeremy can't. Huh!

The Pathways Alliance, the oil sands group that blanketed Canada with "we're going to net-zero" ads, now pretends it was formed only to "advance a CO2 emissions strategy and a proposed carbon capture and storage (CCS) project" (oilsandsalliance.ca/who-we-are/o...). Here's what web site used to say:

“EXCLUSIVE: I’m the Palestinian Who Has Been in ICE Detention for Almost a Year” Writing for Zeteo from inside of prison on International Women’s Day, Leqaa Kordia asks us not to forget the female detainees being held and mistreated in ICE detention camps.

"A spill on our waterway would be catastrophic". Why First Nations, even those that support fossil fuels, are prepared to fight a new Canadian west coast oil pipeline.

NEW: An Alberta energy company developing a gas-powered AI data centre lobbied the Carney government 37 times before clean energy regulations were suspended. Read our scoop below 🔍️

A bit late to this, but this graphic by @amywestervelt.bsky.social is **extremely** important. It's another reminder that "just stop mentioning climate change" isn't an option, as advocates, analysts and communicators. drilled.ghost.io/yes-climate-...

Enbridge's CEO says the quiet part out loud: Enbridge’s CEO doesn’t think investors should take on the risk of developing new fossil fuel infrastructure — that, instead, governments should do so for them. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/24/o...

every time the X vs. Bluesky discourse comes up the conversation eventually gets here and i'm amazed that it finds a way to continue afterwards

A lot is being said about the Pathways project... keep this in mind when people try to convince you it's a done deal

SCOOP: Briefing notes obtained by @desmog.com show that Mark Carney's government had 'very limited' data on carbon capture and storage in the oil industry. But Carney went ahead and made the dubious technology central to Canada's climate plan anyway. www.desmog.com/2026/02/20/c...

You don’t “open” the Overton Window. But it’s interesting that they’d admit they’re trying to shift it toward white nationalism.

Canadian BDS activists just won a historic victory: Scotiabank, once the largest foreign shareholder in Israel’s biggest weapons manufacturer, has dropped all its shares in Elbit Systems. @desaima.bsky.social and Harrison Samphir report on the years-long pressure campaign that led to divestment.

🚨 NEW 🚨 Trump EPA's decision to repeal the endangerment finding now discards a signature report by 5 climate crisis deniers, produced so the admin could use it to scientifically justify rolling back climate regulations, 100s of emails reveal. @sharonkelly.bsky.social read 'em all 🧵 buff.ly/4m6XjbX

"While Michigan lawmakers are trying to protect taxpayers from alleged oil industry collusion, the Alberta government seems to be an active participant in limiting competing technologies and offloading industry liabilities onto the public."

NEW: Group sending Canadian right-wing media personalities on free trips to Israel quietly funded by Israeli government Documents unearthed by @pressprogress.ca show Israel's foreign ministry granted the Exigent Foundation $175,000 CAD to bring "Canadian influencers and policymakers" to Israel

Great article - thanks. Important to note that one of those AI companies is the Gestapo’s favourite firm, Palantir. Growing thread 👇 on CPPIB, BCI and other pension fund investment managers.

ICYMI: new piece from Taylor Noakes: "The CPPIB has invested billions in fossil fuel expansion in the U.S. since Trump’s return to office. It has partnered with private equity firms to acquire American oil and gas producers, and financed AI companies like Elon Musk’s xAI."

Funny/not funny. Ontario government calls Ring of Fire minerals ‘the most ethical on Earth,’ while passing legislation that suspends treaty rights, species protections, and human rights — to benefit extractive industries. ricochet.media/indigenous/o... via @ricochetmedia.bsky.social

Canada's largest pension fund has invested billions in fossil fuel expansion in the U.S. since Trump's return to office. Read our report below:

Cleanup at Port Alice's bankrupt pulp mill has cost the public $170 million and counting. BC said this was a "symptom of a wider problem" facing taxpayers, and vowed to close the legal loopholes that allowed it to happen. Now it's quietly halted that process. My story for @thetyee.ca #bcpoli

Does Alberta need a new pipeline? How much oil is the province producing? And how does that compare to existing pipeline capacity? Questions are swirling as Alberta pursues a hypothetical new pipeline. Here's what you need to know, via @drewanderson.bsky.social thenarwhal.ca/canada-pipel...

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...

For decades, ExxonMobil argued consumers, not oil giants, should take responsibility for fossil fuel pollution. It’s now backing a new accounting scheme which moves climate pollution “liabilities” to buyers’ books. @sharonkelly.bsky.social has the story for @desmog.com www.desmog.com/2026/01/23/e...

Wonder why Danielle Smith isn't speaking out about Trump threatening Greenland? I'm sure it has nothing to do with her cultivating connections to the Trump official tasked with annexing the territory. Read more from @marylouisestuart.bsky.social in @desmog.com www.desmog.com/2026/01/14/d...

There's a bit of data in here that I think will fly under the radar for most people. According to the AER, the oilsands used 257 BILLION litres of freshwater in 2024 alone. That's a 12% jump in freshwater use intensity from 2023. And that's without CCUS in the picture. #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli #CCUS

This pipeline will never be built. But trying to build it is still a tragic waste of time and money at a time when we have neither to spare.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

It's actually insane that the feds are promising to put more than double the amount of money they're putting into childcare, into AI. Why not just set it on fire and dance around it hoping to sway the gods to our favour?
