In Aomori & Hokkaido, there have been reports of several non-life-threatening injuries; in Aomori, around 2,700 homes were left without power. No problems have been reported by nuclear plants in Hokkaido or in the northeastern prefectures of Aomori, Miyagi & Fukushima. #Japan #Earthquake #Tsunami

Since this morning's M7.5 earthquake off the north-eastern coast of Japan, tsunami warnings have been downgraded to advisories. More tremors are possible, and officials say people should still stay away from the coast. www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/... #Japan #Earthquake #Tsunami

Senior Economist with @policyalternatives.ca, @davidmaccdn.bsky.social said most low-income Canadians will see almost nothing. “For those living in poverty, the lowest bracket shift provides an average benefit of $11 a year.” #poverty #inequality www.westernstandard.news/news/enough-...

The #🇨🇦 Prime Minister's tax cuts give #Canadians living in poverty an extra $11 a year. Woo hoo. #canadasky #Cdnpoli

Meanwhile in the Minister of Health's office in Ottawa.

Reminder: during the election debates, Mark Carney promised all of us he would end public subsidies to fossil fuel companies. #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines

Before Mark Carney's flip-flop, Canada had a "a pretty clear stance" on ending public subsidies to fossil fuel companies; 'extending tax credits to enhanced oil recovery is a "step in the wrong direction"' #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines

Over 1,500 died in the devastating floods and landslides that swept through Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia - with hundreds of thousands now seeking shelter and facing food and fuel shortages across the region.

1/9 🇨🇦 TWO TOP #CLIMATE ADVISERS QUIT OVER #ALBERTA DEAL 🇨🇦 Mark Carney’s government sidelined its own experts, sparking a high-profile exodus. Members warn Canada’s climate targets are now in jeopardy. Ryan Tumilty reports. #CdnPoli #ClimateAction #AbPoli #ClimateTargets #ClimateWarming

Gitanyow Hereditary Chiefs put banks and pension funds on notice that they should not invest in the risky Ksi Lisims LNG (aka, fossil fuels) terminal. Why? Because the project does not have Indigenous consent and the underlying economics are shaky. Read more: www.gitanyowchiefs.com/news/letter-...

This isn't just a pipeline. It's more dirty energy and stolen Indigenous land. "Canada can approve all the MOUs [...] that they want, but chiefs are united when it comes to approving large national projects." -Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak at the Assembly of First Nations Add your name: act.gp/4iEXhJi

Emissions from #LNG Canada Phase 1 and 2 are expected to be equal to adding 900,000 cars to the road. Expanding LNG in Canada won't lower domestic emissions + is not a climate solution for trading partners abroad. 🆕 explainer: www.iisd.org/articles/dee...

gut the social safety network or increase the number of cops? mark carney: why not both! this prick keeps implementing pp's agenda to cheers from the lib base. who, to this day, insist pp "would be worse". they are both fucking terrible. #cdnpoli

“In the end we have Pierre Poilievre disguised as a Liberal Banker.” - Chantal Hébert on @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social

It's simply not refutable #cdnpoli #ClimateChange #MarkCarney #abpoli #cdnpoli

With the Carney-Smith MOU for pipelines through BC (despite its opposition) "Carney has undermined provincial authority and raised red flags for other partners in the federation" "That really goes against the spirit and the principles of federal government" #Canada #CDNPoli #BCPoli #NoPipelines

Before he resigned from Mark Carney's cabinet, Steven Guilbeault tried to work with him to change the MOU, but "was told Alberta Premier Danielle Smith wouldn’t budge." Who did we elect as PM, again? #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #BCPoli #ClimateChange

Steven Guilbeault tells @woodsideful.bsky.social about his decision to leave cabinet over the pipeline deal: “When the agreement came out someone texted me saying, ‘The only thing missing from the agreement is Pierre Poilievre's signature,’ and I went yeah, I think that sums it up."

Today he said he would table it in the spring after promising he would table it in the fall. He is using it as leverage for resource project development. There is no bottom.

I hope they keep telling Carney to get fucked.

Assembly of First Nations calls for withdrawal of Canada-Alberta pipeline deal. Chiefs unanimously pass emergency resolution backing oil tanker ban and First Nations on B.C. coast www.cbc.ca/news/indigen...

The Assembly of First Nations resolution also calls for the “immediate withdrawal of the Canada-Alberta Memorandum of Understanding and any project contemplated or designated under the agreement that may infringe First Nations’ rights, including the right to self-determination.”

Thou shall not pass 🙅‍♀️ "Chief Donald Edgars in Haida Gwaii told the assembly that the province’s Oil Tanker Moratorium Act is vital legislation that recognizes B.C.’s north and central coast as “some of the most dangerous waters in the world.”" www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

"First Nations in British Columbia are completely outraged that there was no effort whatsoever made to consult with First Nations that will be impacted by a pipeline project to coastal waters" #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #BCPoli #ClimateChange

In Japan, a record 74% of municipalities nationwide are promoting renewable energy under policies defined in ordinances and official documents: www.asahi.com/ajw/articles... #Japan #ClimateCrisis #Renewables #ClimateChange

PBO: Carney had promised "to double the pace of housing construction, but no such plan has been presented to achieve this" #Canada #CDNPoli #CostOfLivingCrisis #HousingCrisis

PBO: Carney's Build Canada Homes plan will spend $13 billion to construct just 3.7% of the roughly 690,000 units needed to restore housing affordability in Canada: #Canada #CDNPoli #CostOfLivingCrisis #HousingCrisis

The Carney govt is worse than Harper. That's not hyperbole. At least Harper was honest about being shitty. The Liberals are duplicitous and shitty. I don't expect any significant number of homes to ever get built in this program. We will see lots of splashy announcements but no real work. #cdnpoli

BC First Nations chiefs voted unanimously to press Mark Carney's government to uphold the tanker moratorium on BC's coast and withdraw the MOU he signed last week with Danielle Smith. #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #BCPoli #ClimateChange

Computer, Arch Fuck

I'm not convinced that PM Goldman Sachs is an abstract, long-term thinker. And this hasn't just damaged his relationship with May; now other parties have reason not to trust him. “I don’t know if the prime minister lied but I think he needs to consider what his word means when his word was given"

Carney's pipeline from the tarsands to the BC coast would risk "obliterating the socio-economic lives of people along the north coast of B.C. and southeast Alaska" and "would be a fool's errand": #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #BCPoli #NoPipelines #ClimateChange

In politics you are only as good as your word. Did PM Carney mislead Elizabeth May to get her budget support? In a minority government you can't afford to be losing cabinet ministers and alienating potential allies. nationalnewswatch.com/2025/12/01/m...

Now that the Carney-Smith MOU on pipelines is finally out in the open, remember: Alberta's tarsands haven't been Canadian-owned for years, and more than 70% of major tarsands shareholders are foreign entities. #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #NoPipelines #BCPoli #ABPoli #ElbowsUp

ICYMI: the Carney-Smith MOU on pipelines was 'hammered out behind closed doors', and is 'a "back room deal" that completely disregards the rights and views of British Columbians and Indigenous peoples' #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #BCPoli

The degree to which Alberta is completely controlled by private oil corporation interests is still immensely underestimated. It’s deep petrostate that flaunts it’s complete disregard for ecological limits as a point of pride. Never come here. Don’t invest here. And stay far far away.

Même à Radio-Can ce soir, on a parlé d'un supposé groupe autochtone en faveur de l'oléoduc. Et bien, il est en fait une société d'État appartenant au gouvernement de l'Alberta. Ça ne sent pas bon et les auteurs de cette entente de principe espèrent que nous ne porterons pas attention.

His committment to Steven Guilbeault & Elizabeth May wasn't the only time Mark Carney promised to end subsidies to oil companies; during the campaign debates, he made that promise to all Canadians. Mark Carney's word is obviously worthless. #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #BCPoli

"I don't know if the prime minister lied but I think he needs to consider what his word means when his word was given (...) He obviously thought getting a deal with Danielle Smith was more important than his word." #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #NoPipelines #BCPoli

Today @juliedabrusin.bsky.social was grilled on the Canada-Alberta MOU and would not say whether a new oil pipeline would increase emissions. Is she terrified of the PMO? How hard is it to acknowledge reality and try to spin it along the lines of 'yes so we'll have to find GHG cuts elsewhere'

The Carney-Smith MOU on a new pipeline “is a slap in the face to BC, Coastal First Nations and all Canadians who care about making meaningful progress on the climate crisis” www.wcel.org/media-releas... #Canada #CDNPoli #BCPoli #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #NoPipelines

A new bitumen pipeline is a pipe dream. Coastal First Nations have stated their unwavering opposition to the project, the Province of BC is staunchly opposed & the last time this project was proposed it failed in court. Our reaction to the Canada-Alberta Energy MOU: wcel.org/media-releas... #cdnpoli

Carney's cuts 'came just weeks after the federal budget called for $2.7 billion in cuts over four years to foreign aid — and months after Carney vowed during the spring election campaign that his government would "not cut foreign aid"' #Canada #CDNPoli #HumanRights

🔥"The creation of a public-private practice model will not only start unravelling Alberta’s public health-care system, but public health care across our country. The decisions made today will have reverberations far into the future." #abpoli #cdnpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

pretty devastating read. what are we doing? "But politicians including Carney and Smith dismiss the accelerating chaos as a temporary “affordability crisis” and call for more growth. To Hughes that’s like a cancer patient ordering more cancer as a treatment." #cdnpoli #climatecrisis #nopipelines
