Steven Guilbeault: "If you look at our campaign platform during the last election, commitments that we made to Canadians, mentioned climate change 28x. It did not mention pipelines once. So I think rightfully so, some people are wondering what is happening."

i feel like this is probably the best time in recent american history to be a criminal because the justice department doesn’t give a shit, it’s too busy going through the president’s burn book www.cnn.com/2026/05/27/p...

Nearly 2 billion people live in the red area. It is becoming completely uninhabitable. What do the climate deniers, who also hate immigration, think is going to happen?

Carney’s rhetoric not matching his government’s action once again. Germany just rejected Palantir in favour of a French company. London’s mayor blocked its police from contracting with Palantir. But Canada is still signing new deals with a company actively saying it exists to defend American power.

$1000 to any Carney defender who can explain how giving millions to America’s most evil company is aligned with Canadians well being

Bad bad bad bad bad so bad

This thread connects with @astra.bsky.social’s Massey Lectures. The US has manufactured a system where you are always precarious and the powers that be use that precarity to incentivize support for the hoarding of resources. Harder to think collectively if even the wealthy could lose everything

The Doug Ford government unveiled broad "strong mayor powers" to Ontario mayors. The powers were only meant to be used to skip local debate when it comes to matters of building housing. Instead 98% of the uses of "strong mayor powers" have been unrelated to housing. www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

Never *ever* use products from ULINE, the company owned by the ultra-right-wing billionaire Uihlein family. (Once you know the name, you'll start noticing it in shops, on packaging.) If you see a store using their products, convince them to switch to a company listed at this link. refuseuline.com

Just insane levels of being fucked.

The notwithstanding clause was not invoked to remove encampments because I organized across party lines to stop it. Municipalities know that the only thing that will end encampments are resources for shelter and housing — resources the Ford government won't provide.

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you really should watch & share this news story. It’s pretty much perfect. Ford claims wrongly that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. toronto.citynews.ca/video/2024/1...

2014: "approved! We'll get started after LRT construction finishes in 2020" 2020: "We'll get started after LRT construction finishes in 2023" 2023: "We'll get started right after LRT construction finishes..." 2024... 2025... 2026: "Sorry the province banned bike lanes"

This past weekend’s rainfall was a great test of the floor protection changes to the lower Don, and looks to me like it passed with flying colours. Read that the Coxwell Bypass Tunnel is also open now too? Great improvements by the city.

For all the popularity of the Carney government, they sure are doing a lot of really stupid shit.

Eroding the social safety net, privatizing airports, ending pharmacare, hundreds of millions cut from Indigenous services, postal service on life support, billions in welfare to big tech for data centers, bullets still shipping to Israel... Can't put into words how right wing this government is

$4-5 billion. Just so we can fly some jets into Toronto’s downtown core. And this is before we actually get to see a detailed business case, never mind complete engineering reports.

So threatening BC in order to kowtow to MAGA-hat separatist Danielle Smith?

B.C. is moving backwards fast on climate, environment & reconciliation. We’re not staying quiet while that happens! But our MLAs keep telling us they’re not hearing from people about climate concerns anymore... help us prove them wrong!💪🏼 Send a letter at the link below👇🏼

Are you kidding me? $4-5 BILLION to expand Billy Bishop Airport?!?! WTF will it take to get @mark-carney.bsky.social & his #LPC government to say #NoJetsTO once and for all? Especially with Pearson undergoing their own improvements. #shame #TOpoli #ONpoli #cdnpoli www.thestar.com/news/ontario...

TTC should just run this ad verbatim

The federal government warned that 2026 will be among the hottest years on record, with wildfires, droughts & heat waves But PM Carney's budget cuts have hampered Canada’s ability to track, forecast and warn the public about severe weather events www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Liberals are playing legal hardball with First Nations over drinking water. They're pulling the plug on settlement talks, seeking to overturn First Nations' victories and using tactics their own guideline advises lawyers against. ijb.utoronto.ca/news/liberal...

Renewables are unstoppable. BNEF's New Energy Outlook for this year says solar is set to be the biggest source of electricity in 2032 and wind will be second biggest in 2034. Both coal and gas displaced from those thrones. This is the business-as-usual scenario. 🎁🔗 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

If I were the opposition party I'd be saying anyone involved in creating this corrupt scheme will be prosecuted but also anyone accepting payments from it will at minimum be required to pay back the full sum with interest

Doug Ford's new commercial proudly talks about getting rid of homeless encampments and safe injection sites, adding more prisons, and making harsher bail. He's just throwing every right wing issue at the wall like rancid spaghetti and hoping it sticks. Shocked he's not cancelling the Pride parade.

Just wild watching people let their dogs run loose into playgrounds full of children. Same fucked up mentality as drivers in this city.

Who could have predicted that when a bunch of center left politicians and media outlets lent their voices to the shoplifting moral panic, that it would result in a bunch of new fascism?!

“…it’s clear that missing ballot balance sheets, people receiving instructions while in the voting booth, and 34 more votes than voters are, at the very least, enough to call one’s “full confidence” into question.”

Toronto regularly “gifts” the Federal Liberals over 20 seats most elections. Time for these MPs to step up and use their power to stop Doug Ford’s destruction of our waterfront — otherwise what’s the point? They have the power use it! Stand up for the city that routinely elects them!

Every detail here is a concession from Carney to Alberta's oil sector. He gave them what they wanted (bulldozing a path through BC for a pipeline) but also weakened several other agreed-upon carbon goals & environmental regulations in the process. Does he know what side he was negotiating for??

Civil society organizations responded with outrage to the Canada-Alberta agreement announced today. The deal dramatically weakens industrial carbon pricing for big polluters, and doubles down on fast-tracking an oil pipeline to the west coast. Read our reaction 👇 shorturl.at/JPpze

In just one year, Carney has wrecked a decade's worth of progress. The old climate strategy wasn't enough, but rather than strengthen it he dismantled every meaningful policy, stomped on the gas to deliver more fossil fuels, and concentrated power to run roughshod over opposition to his agenda.

PM Carney has completed his dismantling of Canada’s climate framework by gutting one of Canada’s last major climate tools. Today’s deal confirms that the MOU was never intended to be a grand bargain. It's capitulation dressed up as compromise environmentaldefence.ca/2026/05/15/t...

Thread 👇

With the news breaking today that the Industrial Carbon price within the Alberta MOU is even weaker than initial reporting (which was already bad). The list of environmental policy Carney has destroyed grows even longer. Called worse than Harper by his own MPs. How can any progressive defend this?

This is awful. Jesus. These funds have saved people from getting evicted, fired, and losing custody of their kids. (Also, just to be clear, it doesn’t criminalize the funds’ existence, but it makes them subject to federal insurance regulations, which will effectively kill many of them.)

I signed up last year after reading it for awhile and wanting to support excellent, reliable reporting that doesn’t treat the environment and the natural world like a back drop or an after thought. I’ve never regretted my decision. Thank you for the work you do to keep this important view central.
