“We cannot keep doubling down on fossil fuel production while our communities flood and burn. We need federal leadership on climate, not backsliding.” Elbows up for Climate! #climate #abpoli #canada www.nationalobserver.com/2026/06/08/n...

Elbows Up for Climate has 5 policy aims: a national clean energy grid in every direction, the building of at least 2 million net-zero homes, mass retrofits, heat pumps and solar installations, a national high-speed rail system and a ”national resilience, response and recovery strategy.”

Let’s remember that we also need to say NO to the nine noxious referendum questions. Proud to add my name to this open letter. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #Alberta #saynotothenine

"We can’t get unbiased answers out of politicians or oil executives. Martha Hall Findlay’s been both, and if she says CCUS is a waste of time and money, it’s time to turn the page and be done with carbon capture for good." edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu... #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli #CCS #CCUS

Rather than being on the verge of a “massive energy and economic boom not seen since the early 2000s,” as Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s chief of staff wrote on social media, the industry is in the midst of the last oil boom any of us will ever see, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes.

From a wise colleague and dedicated cyclist: "We anticipated that the UCP would roll out the legislation when they needed a *distraction*. As they clearly do right now. They will try to stoke controversy...to distract from their mounting scandals." calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

Oil and gas companies are raking in record profit, but they are not paying up for the mess they made. The Alberta government is planning to let them walk away and leave us with the bill. We can still stop it. Join us on May 12 to find out how ➡️ albertatalks.ca/stopmas-calg...

As the South Korean president, Lee Jae Myung, put it recently: “It’s a situation so serious that even I can’t sleep. South Korea needs to transition to renewable energy quickly. If we rely on fossil energy, the future will be extremely risky.” #solar #wind www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Tomorrow, over 100,000 students will strike from school on Friday for May Day. Schools across the country are already canceling classes. This is what it looks like when a generation refuses an economy built for the 1%.

If only the Alberta government put these kinds of restrictions on oil and gas polluters. . . "If Alberta’s ongoing practice of stifling solar and wind development had a name, 'death by red tape' might be fitting." #ableg #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/29/a...

We need this here

I think it’s good politics to speak loudly and clearly about the climate crisis. Time to end the climate hushing billmckibben.substack.com/p/lets-talk-...

"Albertans aren't dumb. But this government thinks we are." A terrific satire about the 'referendumb' questions. . . #ableg #abpoli

The "Edmonton Indie Bookstore Extravaganza kicks off Saturday...reminding us how lucky we are to have such a wide assortment of used and new shops here, from Ritchie’s forward-looking Magpie Books to the legendary downtown landmark Audreys, with every delightfully chaotic Wee Book Inn between." #yeg

"The Alberta Energy Regulator has suspended the operations of beleaguered oil and gas company MAGA Energy for a raft of failures, including unpaid taxes, unpaid fees, improper care and closure of wells and failure to clean up spills." #abpoli thenarwhal.ca/alberta-maga...

Public pressure works!!! The Alberta Energy Regulator has ordered MAGA energy to suspend its operations. 👏 #ABLeg #ABPoli

A powerful piece from Rachel Notley on the UCP’s plans to rig the map for our next election. “It has to stop here. If we allow politicians to rig elections, then we will be giving them carte blanche to do anything they want. No politician should ever hold that power.” 1/2 #abpoli

I'm glad Alberta's NDP is calling out the premier's gerrymandering efforts. . . #abpoli #ableg

"It has to stop here. If we allow politicians to rig elections, then we will be giving them carte blanche to do anything they want. No politician should ever hold that power. . .And anyone who wants it is unfit to govern in a province or country as great and as (still) democratic as ours." #ableg

Oil & gas companies are making record profits, while cleanup costs are foisted onto Alberta taxpayers. "AER is making decisions that put the profit margins of oil and gas companies before the interests of ordinary Albertans and the land that we depend on." #abpoli calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

"7 in 10 Canadians say they feel proud at the prospect of Canada becoming a renewable energy superpower — including a majority in Alberta (56 per cent)... 65 per cent want political leaders to...take stronger action on climate change." www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/21/o... #abpoli #climate #wind

Alberta municipalities are being forced to slash their budgets because of $254 million in unpaid taxes by oil & gas companies. And all Albertans are facing increased taxes as oil & gas companies’ costs are shifted to the public. For more info visit CleanUpYourMess.ca #abpoli

Hey, Albertans. Australians get three hours of FREE electricity every day, because their country generates so much solar power. Why can't we have that? Oh, right. Because our provincial government does everything it can to block renewable energy and enrich oil & gas billionaires. #abpoli #ableg
