DRIPA has always been simple: the path forward lies in actually implementing it, not weakening it. It was a real honour to work with Grand Chief Stewart Phillip on this article. vancouversun.com/opinion/why-...

May Victor Orbán simply be the first in a string of countries engaging in overdue housecleaning by kicking their authoritarian leaders to the curb.

The more global crises converge, the more this becomes an absolutely critical frontier of struggle. We need to control the unfettered and violent companies that drain life from people and the earth.

All smiles in Winnipeg as we welcome @avilewis.ca as the new leader of the federal NDP! It's been a hard-fought campaign with tremendous results (he won more votes than all the others combined). Tomorrow the work begins! ✨✊🏽

I'm happy to announce this new paper — we compile evidence on the extraordinary harms caused by IMF and World Bank structural adjustment programmes in the global South since the 1980s. gh.bmj.com/content/11/S...

Canada's foreign policy in the Middle East amounts to saying if Israel even imagines it could be attacked, it's perfectly justified in not only retaliating but doing preemptive strikes. If Iran is attacked, it should just accept that, and if it defends itself it should be further punished.

1/ The war on Iran exposes a deeper global vulnerability: our dependence on fossil fuels. 🧵

happy to be able to share the full video of my discussion with Karen Hao last week. AI has entered its lethal phase, embedded in illegal wars and mass shootings. We deserve democratic spaces to debate this for-profit dystopia. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1B_...

Canada could deliver fuel to Cuba. Every day @mark-carney.bsky.social is choosing not to do so.

This headline alone is chilling. Exactly why internationalism must be the backbone to climate policy. We cannot accept exploitative trade agreements, military expansion and policies that choke the global south – these should be core climate justice priorities. gvwire.com/2026/03/16/u...

The Catholic bishops conferences of Africa, Latin America, and Asia have released another joint statement, this time on the transition away from fossil fuels ahead of the Santa Marta conference next month. repositorio.celam.org/files/origin...

As fun as it sounds, no mayoral plans for me. I've been focused on building the Padma Centre for Climate Justice, a new political education and organizing project. Our new newsletter just dropped today: padmacentre.substack.com/p/welcome-to...

Recall the spike in oil prices when Russia invaded Ukraine. The companies then used the economic shock to price gouge as well. The war was a windfall for them, a lucky break.

This is such a genuinely great conversation with these good people. Highly recommend!

Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans. Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills. Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

[email protected]' climate policy is a distillation of decades of movement demands. It doesn't tinker - it goes right to the heart of it: standing up to parasitic industries & installing institutions that serve actual human & more-than-human wellbeing. #climatejustice lewisforleader.ca/ideas/green-...

Our podcast is my fave of the legacy pieces that @climateunit.bsky.social is leaving behind as we close our doors. Check out the full six-part "Markers of Emergency," and catch me in great company with Jim Stanford, Seth & Erin on episode 5: "Leave no one behind". 🙌🏽✊🏽

Our latest Break in Case of Emergency podcast is out. @anjaliappadurai.bsky.social, @bcpolicy.bsky.social's Alex Hemingway and I unpack the federal budget. Have a listen 👇

I won't be in Brazil this year but I'll be your trusty curator of what's really important amidst the noise of it all. We're doing a series of #COP30 newsletter updates unpacking important decisions & amplifying key voices on the ground🦋 ➡️350.org/fairshare to sign the petition & get the updates.

New podcast episode ft. @1alexhemingway.bsky.social of BC Policy Solutions and @sethdklein.bsky.social about this week's federal budget. We chat housing, climate, austerity, the big tradeoffs in the budget, and of course, Zohran Mamdani 🙌

Today's budget was underwhelming and troubling. Our leaders always have the choice of who makes the "sacrifice" — everyday people, the most vulnerable, big corporations, or the most wealthy. This budget asks us to tighten our belts while military & oil companies find themselves flush with cash.

It's winning time!!! Mamdani's win caps off a brilliantly run campaign and gives us a shot in the arm for what movements already know: that we can & will win by telling the truth, demanding big things & refusing to dance with the establishment. Now watch the doubters pretend they were in all along!

The numbers say it all: 💰 Global North paid climate finance since 2015 = $280bn 🛢️ Profits for oil & gas companies headquartered there = $1.3tn Rich countries paid a fraction of their owed climate debt - while cashing in on the crisis they caused: oilchange.org/publications...

I actually don't think Canadians should prepare to make sacrifices so the military budget and AI investments can be scaled up, ultimately benefitting private contractors and big businesses.

Israel is piling crime on top of crime on top of crime. No wonder it is determined to bring down the entire edifice of international humanitarian law - it's the only hope of protecting itself from consequences. Btw: the allegations are significantly worse than bedbugs.

Full solidarity with the flotilla, which represents the very best of humanity. And eternal shame to the European states who refused to protect it from Israeli assault and establish a corridor for aid to Gaza.

You are not seeing this slaughter live-streamed to your devices because Israel has murdered most of Gaza’s most prominent journalists in targeted assassinations.

Per these @cnbc.com charts and further to the earlier post: Gold is trading above $3,900, poised to set yet another record high; and Bitcoin is within 1% of its all time high. #economy #markets #gold #crypto #bitcoin #investing #investors

Global Sumud Flotilla is live as Israel threatens to stop them from breaking the starvation siege of Gaza. A reminder that they are not entering Israeli waters, but Palestinian waters. Israel intends to violate international law once again. www.youtube.com/live/uEN2bWF...

It's impossible to imagine multilateralism solving climate or *anything* while genocide continues. So these #COP30 demands are the bare minimum. Leaders from @lulaoficialbluesky.bsky.social to @mark-carney.bsky.social must adopt energy & arms embargos NOW 🍉 palenergyembargo.com/resources/pa...

Every year we get a clearer picture of the opportunity cost of our current path of austerity and war. Canada must step up to pay its fair share to the Global South, not as an act of charity, but as an act of unlocking climate action for all of us.

On this new podcast ep. from @climateunit.bsky.social I chatted with my colleague @helloitisdoug.bsky.social about mutilateralism under threat, the recent G7 summit, & why Canada must do its fair share. Check out our recently launched Fair Shares campaign & sign the petition! (350.org/fairshare)

New podcast episode! In our latest episode of Break In Case of Emergency, we're unpacking Canada's 2025 election results with @anjaliappadurai.bsky.social, @sethdklein.bsky.social and Bushra Asghar. Listen now: www.climateemergencyunit.ca/podcast

Got to host a conversation alongside my wonderful colleague @erinblondeau.bsky.social where we chat with @naomiaklein.bsky.social and @sethdklein.bsky.social about all things election, shock doctrine, and who teases who at the dinner table. Check it out, along with other episodes of our new podcast!

I always say that one of the best gifts that @sethdklein.bsky.social has given us is his economic imagination. This is a very important piece on the real economic vision (drawn from wartime lessons) needed in this chaotic moment: www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/02/o... #WWII #climateaction

PP is no friend to the working class. Great analysis from @geoffdembicki.bsky.social mapping the Con's connections to fossil fuels, corporate giants and far-right elements. www.desmog.com/2025/03/25/p...

Forget pipelines — the U.S. trade war is our chance to decarbonize. Great advice here from @taylornoakes.bsky.social www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/19/o...

The past year has delivered three important lessons that every government in the global South should take seriously. 🧵

They knew this would happen, denied the science, delayed the transition & are increasing fossil fuel production to continue making record profits while thousands suffer the consequences. LA is on fire & Big Oil are the Arsonists. My piece in the Guardian today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Our @climateunit.bsky.social colleague @anjaliappadurai.bsky.social offers her take-away from COP and Canada's role in today's @nationalobserver.com: Canada has become a world-leading climate villain www.nationalobserver.com/2024/12/05/o...

COP29 was shameful. "For all its constructive and helpful rhetoric on climate, we cannot ignore the fact that the Canadian government has shirked its responsibilities and undermined global climate action," – @anjaliappadurai.bsky.social www.nationalobserver.com/2024/12/05/o...

Extremely important graphic. Israeli forces have killed more people in Lebanon (purple) than Hezbollah has killed in Israel (yellow) over the past year, by orders of magnitude.

BREAKING: The ICC has just issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant and Deif.

On the current draft negotiating text that are informing the final hours of #COP29:

A thread on the current draft text that nations will be negotiating on in the final hours of #COP29:

About 1% of global GDP: that's the baseline ask of the world's wealthiest govts to curb the #climatecrisis, about $1.3tn. They instead produced a shamefully inadequate draft text at #COP29, with only $250bn on the table. It's a death sentence for much of the world. So much shame. #climatejustice
