STILL nothing from major English-language Canadian media lol

'Trust us, lower all your defences.' How naive does the U.S. ambassador think we are? Personally, more than being outraged, I feel like my intelligence has been insulted here. www.cbc.ca/news/politic... #CDNpoli #Canada

If you're in journalism/comms & you don't get it yet here's the reality: The U.S. Admin is trying to create a dictatorship: they are using influence & wealth to achieve that end. Currently CBC's coverage of this lacks context, hopefully it improves: www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio... #CDNMedia #CBC

Canada’s Parliament just gave Charlie Kirk a standing ovation. You can oppose political violence without rewriting the legacy of a man who did a lot of harm to vulnerable and marginalized communities. But Canada’s politicians, some media and many employers don’t seem to entirely understand that:

“The responsibility for these atrocity crimes lies with Israeli authorities at the highest echelons who have orchestrated a genocidal campaign for almost two years now with the specific intent to destroy the Palestinian group in Gaza.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s... #Gaza

Elon Musk and several of the largest accounts on Twitter are doing everything they possibly can in this moment to focus the violent retribution people are braying for right now towards trans people. It is IMPERATIVE to be loud ally right now and defend the trans community with our whole chest.

The best time for media, government and employers to actually understand social media and how it can be gamed by bad-faith actors and false outrage was a decade ago. The next best time is right now. Unbelievable how stupidly some of them are responding to blatant hateful opportunism right now.

Pour cet épisode du podcast L'Environnement au Canada de @sierraclubcanada.bsky.social, j’ai reçu Lourdenie Jean, la fondatrice de l’Environnement, c’est intersectionnel pour discuter de l'intersectionnalité au sein du mouvement environnemental. lnns.co/7-5UbD3QdB1

Still nothing from major Canadian English-language media (that I’ve seen). I feel like this is really odd? Like I’m almost starting to worry it’s…personal from newsroom decisionmakers? I hope it’s not because that would be very upsetting lol

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family? It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

This is what happens.

there should be consequences for andrew scheer for targeting rachel like this

(1/2) We've gone from #Equinor saying ' #BayduNord is gonna save the #NL economy' to 'we cant promise anything.' Why? Because the business case was never there: www.sierraclub.ca/bay-du-nord-... And the same is true of LNG exports: www.sierraclub.ca/lng-national... #NLpoli #NewfoundlandAndLabrador

Oil & gas demand is plateauing, wildfires are worsening, & disinformation threatens our reality. 🌍 Our publisher @mitchellbeer.bsky.social joined @sierraclubcanada.bsky.social's @conorcurtis.bsky.social to unpack what good solution-focused energy reporting looks like. 🎧 Listen here 👇

"'We feel proud,' the spokesperson said. The feeling across the union is one of hope, and joy. She explained that across all of @cupescfp.bsky.social, their goal is to bring back power to unions, and to stand for their charter rights." From @therovermedia.bsky.social: therover.ca/strike-ends-...

(1/n) Do you know someone impacted by the wildfires in NL and in need of help? Those in need of aid can contact [email protected] by email (we can connect them from there directly to the local organizers in NL). #NewfoundlandAndLabrador #NLWildfires #NLWildfire

Pour cet épisode du podcast L'Environnement au Canada de @sierraclubcanada.bsky.social, j’ai reçu Michael Wexler et Louis-Philippe Tessier, les 2 cofondateurs de @mulocargo.bsky.social pour discuter de ce nouveau système de location de vélos-cargos électriques. www.sierraclub.ca/mulo-velo-ca...

Kassie Drodge, of Sierra Club Canada in #StJohn's is organizing a #MutualAid network to assist people with the #wildfires. Google form with more details about how people - not engaged in other efforts - can assist with informal services via the mutual aid network: docs.google.com/forms/d/1fdp...

(1/4) My thoughts are with everyone affected in Newfoundland and Labrador. I still remember reading about evidence suggesting wildfires would get worse in the province during my MA, but never expected this and certainly couldn't picture it... www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

If you want to protect Canada from Trump then the biggest strategic mistake to make is to start from the premise that Trump gives a *bleep* about #America or the American people...

"What is a more beautiful way to form a national identity than around nature? Than around the ecosystem you live in and how to live a good life on that land?" - Andrés Jiménez Monge on @sierraclubcanada.bsky.social The Environment in Canada podcast. 🎧: www.sierraclub.ca/bill-5-dereg... #onpoli

"Imagine every Canadian engaged co-operatively with national political and economic systems. That should excite progressives and traditional economists alike, and might inspire other countries to follow a really promising and exciting example." Read Conor's latest in The Energy Mix Weekender 👇

A limit on extreme individual wealth above healthy, competitive rewards; With any extreme #wealth at the highest end of the spectrum clawed back and shared equally by all. The proposal in my article for @theenergymix.com: energymixweekender.substack.com/p/a-new-fund... #CDNpoli #Canada #USpoli #US

Pour cet épisode du podcast L'Environnement au Canada de @sierraclubcanada.bsky.social, j’ai reçu Sylvain Comeau, un jeune environnementaliste néo-brunswickois, comme invité pour discuter de la lutte contre les changements climatiques au Nouveau-Brunswick. harbingermedianetwork.com/show/the-env...

(1/3) I'm so tired of 'either/or' nonsense & I'm tired of broad sweeping declarations about losing the #climate fight. We can pursue both changing politics & community action at the same time in a way that they're mutually reinforcing. A good podcast on this: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

When you concede to someone like Trump he will see it as weakness. Now would be a really good time to reinstate the digital services tax on U.S. tech companies. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... ##CDNpoli

Je suis contente d’annoncer que je suis la nouvelle animatrice du podcast francophone l’Environnement au Canada pour @sierraclubcanada.bsky.social! Pour mon 1er épisode, j’ai reçu le Dr Chúk Odenigbo pour discuter des feux de forêt dans les Prairies. harbingermedianetwork.com/show/the-env...

People need to know about AI-generated disinformation flooding city councils to defeat climate policy. If wishes could come true, everyone following me would read, share, repost this story. @350.org @billmckibben.bsky.social @sierraclubcanada.bsky.social @sejorg.bsky.social @coveringclimatenow.org

(1/5) Getting flawed oil and gas projects labelled as "National Interest" projects is a good framing trap by the oil and gas lobby. Because when a lot of those projects fail, and they will, no one in Government will have the ability to say "well the project was flawed"... #CDNpoli

Reminder for @mark-carney.bsky.social: every time the #fossilfuel lobbyists come calling, think about all who have suffered the impacts of fossil fuel-driven #climatechange - & all who will, especially children. It's time to act: implement the #EmissionsCap & ensure that Big Polluters pay.

I'm over here chatting with my climate heroes about #elxn45 results! Follow along to read what experts like @billmckibben.bsky.social @carobrouillette.bsky.social @jessiesitnick.bsky.social and @conorcurtis.bsky.social are saying about climate and energy on election night.

“For an election commonly framed as ‘not about the climate’ I’m seeing nature emerge as Canadians’ top source of national identity (far above even hockey),” said Conor Curtis (@conorcurtis.bsky.social), climate communicator and good friend of The Mix. “This election is very much about our identity.”

“People are really concerned about the threat the U.S. administration poses to key water bodies like the Great Lakes,” says @conorcurtis.bsky.social. He predicts: “Water is going to emerge as a key sovereignty issue going forward... something people are very engaged with as an issue already.”

The Mix's expert panel looks at public transit from all angles. Check out insights from public transit advocate @denisagar.bsky.social, veteran energy modeller Ralph Torrie, climate communicator @conorcurtis.bsky.social, environmental economist Dave Sawyer, and our own @mitchellbeer.bsky.social.

"It's directly thanks to Gord that those climate survivors got their story out in Ottawa..."

Great to talk with Ken and Conor about some not great moves by the NS govt. we shall overcome and set this ship right , but it would be so nice if everyone was rowing together!

(1/2) ‘Fake news’ emerged from climate denial like John Carpenter’s The Thing — assimilating new host issues as it went. The monster created by oil and gas corporations quickly evolved into a general tool for wealthy interests. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/03/20/o... #CDNpoli #Canada #NLpoli

The Parliamentary Budget Officer / PBO has released two reports with major factual problems or rigged assumptions that cast climate policy in a misleadingly bad light - the #EmissionsCap being the latest. That should lead to some serious questions being asked, as misinformation is being made worse.

The Premier of Alberta going on U.S. television and saying we won't limit oil and gas supply to the U.S. - regardless of whether we do or not - does not help Canada's position. Everything should be on the table. #CDNpoli

This was a really fascinating chat, now we need action at all levels of government to make renewable solutions happen.

(1/many) Tuning into the 51st state show on CBC & already a few thoughts: Intro included pretty equal pre-recorded voices of pro-annexation & anti-annexation calls - not a great start in terms of both-sides-ism. But to be fair acknowledgement that the original question of the show was problematic

I'm also very much hoping this isn't some normalization of an economic union either - which would be effectively the same thing as annexation.

(1/2) I sincerely hope tomorrows CBC Radio special on "51st state" comments is a broadcast of Canadians to Americans of all the reasons why we will never accept annexation. I really do. But the people in charge of marketing the show need to realize framing starts with the headline & it is dangerous

Major takeaway from today beneath all the statements: We do have power and using it works. Giving in is not the right approach. That's going to be important to remember going forward. #CDNpoli

Trump is showing his intentions today: 'If people wanted to play the game right it would be 100% certain they [Canada] would become a state.' It's not just about economic force through tariffs, it's about the threat of tariffs & a protracted 'game' toward annexation. #CDNpoli

Talk to others & declare loudly and clearly that we are DONE playing the U.S.'s game & oil corporations' game. It's time for a renewable future. More on how YOU can act here: energymixweekender.substack.com/p/trumps-ann... On renewable solutions: www.sierraclub.ca/renewable-so... #CDNpoli #Tariffs

Watching CBC now. Did I just hear Trump say 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico coming probably February 1st? Shortly there-after he praised the leadership of North Korea too... #CDNpoli
