This article sums up what is wrong with Canadian media. It is entirely focussed on how this leaked info about no oil pipeline making it on the first project list will disappoint Alberta, how it’s maybe about catering to the progressive vote. Not a mention of the total lack of economic case for one.

“Evidence increasingly indicates that environmental deterioration has become a significant drag on economic and productivity growth worldwide.” Dr Christina Caron apple.news/AwPai7V7nSha...

Several sources point to the same fact: Canada continues to ship ammunition and armament to Israel, despite the government's repeated claims that this sort of trade had stopped. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

New data shows that the income gap between the wealthiest and poorest Canadian households has reached a record high. All our political organizing, including for climate justice, needs to take that into account: www.readthemaple.com/the-income-g... Some key things to know:

OK I've been avoiding it, but let's talk about this: "David Suzuki says the fight against climate change is lost" www.ipolitics.ca/2025/07/02/i... To me, this is a man who has done a LOT, but didn't manage to save the world by himself (duh?!), and is trying to come to terms with that. A 🧵

I appreciate this opinion piece, a refreshing take “The U.S. is not our friend any more. Has anyone told Mark Carney?” apple.news/AR4hJ8hODSIO...

This isn't a policy statement. It's a signal to the oil and gas lobby: "relax, take the summer off, Ford and Smith will do your work for you". This agreement isn’t about prosperity, it’s about propping up a declining industry and stalling climate progress. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

🚨 New report: Entrenched Interests exposes fossil fuel ties on the boards of 5 major Canadian public pension funds – including CPPIB, OTPP, AIMCo, PSP & OMERS. These links pose serious governance risks. #ClimateRisk #Pensions #cdnpoli

"The strong winds that once blew toxic pollution from North America’s biggest coal plant over to the nearby Six Nations reserve now turn a forest of wind turbines owned by Indigenous People." Some positive news out of Six Nations: www.thestar.com/news/ontario...

“National interest” shouldn’t mean exempt from rules. Our latest report shows how skipping safeguards can lead to real harm - for people, land, and water. Read: An Ounce of Prevention → www.wcel.org/publication/...

This piece by @althiaraj.bsky.social is well worth the 2 mn you'll need to read it. www.thestar.com/politics/pol... "Why would any voter now believe the Liberals are committed to upholding environmental laws — laws they themselves passed through Parliament — or upholding Indigenous treaty rights"

Why does news like this matter? Because it is a reminder that we have a very imprecise idea how exposed to toxic stuff the people living near fossil fuels actually are. So when companies propose new projects "within acceptable limits", we should be super skeptical. www.cbc.ca/news/science...

I was triggered by the headline. Thankfully I read on, and actually learned a lot. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Bill C-5 will be voted on TODAY. Insane how fast it is going, given how deeply concerning many parts of the Bill are. www.ipolitics.ca/2025/06/20/p... In a few days some MPs and Senators will wake up with a really bad democracy hangover, regretting what they did, but not able to take it back.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

G7 leaders released a joint statement on Tuesday about wildfires with a glaring omission. The Kananaskis Wildfire Charter is 536 words long. None of them are "climate change." www.nationalobserver.com/2025/06/17/n...

Le sommet des dirigeants du G7 s’est conclu hier. Malgré l’intensité des feux de forêt qui ravagent le pays, les changements climatiques ont à peine été mentionnés. Le G7 était un test pour le leadership climatique du Canada, et le premier ministre Carney a échoué. shorturl.at/KHv2X

In 'serious omission,' G7 leaders release wildfire charter with no mention of climate change www.nationalobserver.com/2025/06/17/n...

🚫 The Senate is fast-tracking Bill C-5—shortening their review & effectively shutting people out of decisions that affect them. Bill C-5 jeopardizes democratic process, environmental protections, and Indigenous rights. The Senate must send it back to the drawing board. shorturl.at/nXN1u

And why, dear G7 leaders, do you think that "the world has experienced record-breaking wildfires across every forested continent over the past decade"? Maybe a little thing you used to call clim*te ch*ange before it became the crisis that dare not speak its name? www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

‼️ BREAKING ‼️The 16th #BankingOnClimateChaos report reveals that fossil fuel financing from the world’s top 65 banks has reached $7.9 TRILLION since 2016. Instead of investing in a livable future for us all, big banks are driving climate devastation across the world.

Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet et Meta ont vu les leurs bondir de 150% en moyenne entre 2020 et 2023.

In this article, RBC argues there is a "dystopian" (their word) scenario in which global cooperation crumbles and natural gas demand doubles. They conclude the G7 should be supporting more natural gas... Hmm, which side are you on? www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Alberta is right to worry about we should do with tailings. However, you can't just burry the problem underground. My take here: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I can not believe this is the real name of a law....

I am quite intrigued about this upcoming announcement by Minister Leccee that has a human wall made up of mostly children? Knowing the announcement is likely going to be about the Province's energy plan? Interesting...

This isn't surprising, in that the emissions cap has for a while seemed an obvious sacrificial lamb. But if Ottawa sees it as potentially a straight-up trade-off for Pathways (oil-sands carbon capture) finally happening, I think it's missing a step. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Oh come on, PM Carney. Let's get real here. If the oil and gas industry actually knows how to decarbonize their oil, what's the problem with putting that emissions limit into law? Unless of course you know carbon capture doesn't work... www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Tracking wildfires in Canada: Where they are, how much has burned and how it's changing air quality. Some very disturbing graphs here… www.cbc.ca/newsinteract...

Getting serious deja-vu here, having to re-explain to a federal government what Indigenous rights are. Do we need to remind this government of what happens when you ignore that? 👀 www.thestar.com/politics/fir...

Really solid piece by Leah Temper "Here lies the Carney paradox: his critique of market fundamentalism has always been more radical than his remedies." Where is all the big talk about rethinking fundamentally the way we think of prosperity and wellbeing now? www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

📰 Must-read op-ed in @theglobeandmail.com 📰 While RBC abandons its sustainable finance goals, Canada's #1 fossil financing bank is blaming new anti #greenwashing inclusions in the Competition Act.

This was an epic feat - we built a 95-metre wide installation to tell @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social to pick a path, say no to pipelines and YES to bold climate action. We want an E-W grid, green jobs and homes, not divisive pipelines. www.instagram.com/reel/DJ-Nnzk...

Doug Ford is trying to stop Ontario cities from making decisions for themselves, including on how to build homes 🏡 This is an attack on local efforts to phase out fossil fuels 😡 Tell him to back off! 📧

Reminder to @mark-carney.bsky.social of the #Climate survivors in #Canada calling on the Canadian Government to implement and #EmissionsCap without delay: www.protectwhatwelove.ca Another #Wildfire season has started & big polluters should do the bare minimum: www.sierraclub.ca/action-item/...

PM Mark Carney's government must pick a path. At a time when there are evacuations in Manitoba and Northern Ontario, it is irresponsible to increase the expansion of volatile, unnecessary fossil fuel projects. 🧵 globalnews.ca/news/1117981...

A new story from @thetyee.ca shows that David Yager, the man responsible for Alberta’s new "mature" oil well cleanup scam, has deep connections to Premier Danielle Smith and a legacy of conflicts of interest - red flags everywhere. thetyee.ca/News/2025/05... #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli #YYC #YEG

As wildfire season begins, a warning: the locations we love won’t wait for us to confront the climate crisis. #SignedSearedDelivered is a new initiative of @climateunit.bsky.social that flips the classic postcard on its head w/ a scorching message to those in power. 🧵 www.signedseareddelivered.com

Is it me or did PM Carney's first press conference about priorities just largely ignore the climate crisis? I heard one mention of environment, when mentioning housing. Nothing about putting a stop to energy waste which means money wasted? Nothing about jobs and local revenue through clean energy?

🚨 🚨 A massive carbon capture hub in Alberta could put water and farmland at serious risk — and the Alberta gov't won’t even assess the damage. Read this important blog we co-wrote with the @nfudc.bsky.social 👇 environmentaldefence.ca/2025/04/10/p...

Lukewarm take on the election: 2 of the parties who hold the balance of power made more ambitious promises than the govt on climate and environment. So don't let anyone get away with the idea that we can't be strong on these files - it's actually a natural area of overlap.

Voted! #ShowUp4Climate Lots on the ballot this time, and climate justice was one of them.

Electricity prices in the UK have been abnormally high these last few years...and that's because of their reliance on gas. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Last weekend, my partner and I showed up for climate in #Election2025 & voted to protect the people and places we love💚 #ShowUp4Climate

I've read at least 5 pieces about how "climate and the environment" are being ignored this election. Here's why that framing is wrong and mostly unhelpful: First, lumping climate and environment in 1 category is a mistake, and even using those terms when surveying Canadians is unclear at best. 1/

Pretty concerned about the fact that the Ontario govt is currently trying to remove the Endangered Species Act and give itself the power to impose any industrial project on any community, and noone is talking about it... environmentaldefence.ca/2025/04/17/b...

A new piece by @jflevin.bsky.social NFU’s James Hannay warns that the Pathways Alliance’s proposed massive CCS project in Alberta threatens groundwater used by thousands, including farmers, yet no environmental assessment has been done. 🏭🚱 environmentaldefence.ca/2025/04/10/p....

It's concerning that any funds still go to fossil fuel projects. We need to act on energy poverty with urgency, and doing so should be through low-cost renewable energy - not fossil fuels which cost us our health, our climate stability, and so much more.

C'était vraiment positif de voir @yfblanchet.bsky.social correctement chiffrer le montant des subventions à Trans Mountain Pipeline (TMX) à $40 MILLIARDS. On en parle vraiment pas assez... youtu.be/h1u6bAge-Qc?...
