Another mill closure in my home region, another corporation taking their money and running and leaving us without a viable forestry sector in my lifetime. Do we expect LNG corporations to be more charitable to the working people in our communities?

David Eby's version of reconciliation is essentially saying "We can do this the easy way, or the hard way"

Watching David Eby’s sit down on GlobalBC and gobsmacked by how clearly he is speaking about reconciliation only being possible through partnerships on resource projects and not through the assertion of our inherent rights. The tactic and threat of economic reconciliation is at the forefront.

happy winter solstice everyone 🥹

first time driving by myself in the gta and I really liked the uh unique driving style

Our 6-Marker series closes with Ep. 6, which explores Indigenous rights and leadership in real climate emergency action. Erin Blondeau, Janelle Lapointe, Serena Mendizabal, and Seth Klein discuss sovereignty and community-driven solutions. 🎧 Listen to Episode 6: www.buzzsprout.com/2451788/epis...

I really, really loved how this episode turned out! I usually can’t stand listening to myself back, but re-listened to the entire thing because chatting with these three was just such a gift. This may be one of my favourite conversations, ever! Give it a listen and let me know what you think.

Will speaking on this emergency resistance webinar at the top of the hour, hosted by our friends at 350 Canada and Common Horizon. Join us! act.350.org/signup/dec9-...

What great company!

Thrilled to be releasing this special 6-episode podcast series on the 6 Markers of Climate Emergency – a deep dive into what genuine emergency action looks like. Features a stellar line-up of expert guests including...

Took my phone out to call my Uber to the airport (I usually pop inside a store to do this but was at a park, so chose a spot close to others with their phone out) and somebody biked by and snatched it out of my hands.

Catch me on episode 6!

It’s my last day in Brazil, and I feel so lucky to have spent two months of the year in this beautiful country. I’ve learned so much about political movements, ecology, the Indigenous people, music, art, myself! I can’t wait to be back!

The Alberta Canada MOU has one clear winner: Big Oil. That’s why we’re partnering up with Common Horizon to fight back. Join our Emergency Call featuring @janellelapointe.bsky.social & Eve Saint this upcoming Tuesday. RSVP to get the link!

My first yap after a month in the Amazon! It’ll certainly be spicy. The government has given me a lot to talk about in my absence! See you there?!

I already know that I want to write more in 2026, and I’m trying to situate my life to be more rigorous about writing. Are y’all on Substack? Do you like Substack?

finally saw sloths and a potoo 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

The owner of the hotel took us out on the Amazon for the day, on his brand new boat, with a renowned nature guide free of charge. We saw ~45 species of birds, barbecued fresh fish on the boat, stopped for little jungle walk. This trip has been indescribable. A dream come true!

If Carney is playing chess, then who are the pawns?

Look out BC! China’s LNG demand drops for 13th month running. Last week, Pakistan cancelled a huge contract to purchase LNG from Qatar (even choosing to pay a penalty) because they no longer need/want it -- the solar revolution is quickly displacing demand for LNG. financialpost.com/pmn/business...

I been saying…

This whole MOU is based on lies. There's no such thing as "low emission" bitumen. CCUS does NOT work. Indigenous co-ownership IS NOT reconciliation. Doubling down on fossil fuels & AI data centres will NOT "lower costs." Both govts are putting corporations before the public interest. #CDNPoli #ABLeg

Notice how the difference between now and the Northern Gateway a decade ago is the weaponization of Indigenous co-ownership? Economic reconciliation is the tactic of our oppressors, and comes at the cost of our traditional economies. Solidarity with the Coastal First Nations resisting.

The Ottawa-Alberta MOU is nothing more than a pipedream - Coastal First Nations "We have zero interest in co-ownership or economic benefits of a project that has the potential to destroy our way of life and everything we have built on the coast," says Heiltsuk Nation elected Chief Marilyn Slett

!!! in the Amazon Rainforest !!!

Well, I made it through my first COP experience and I feel as though I did it to the max! I spoke my truth on several panels and press conferences—calling out Canada, the lies of economic reconciliation and LNG. I went toe to toe with our Minister of Environment and Climate Change.

Full video of our civil society (and a couple of rez kids) meeting with Minister Dabrusin, the day after Carney’s MPO announcement. I appreciate this angle because you can really appreciate my body language and blank face. #cdnpoli #cop30

Last week at #COP30, our members & allies pressed Environment and Climate Minister @juliedabrusin.bsky.social on climate finance, adaptation, the #BAM—and its expansion of fossil fuel projects that turn Indigenous communities into sacrifice zones. ✊💥 Watch the recording 👇

#COP30 Fire and floods are bit on the nose. The fire just happened and was very sudden and scary. Prayers that everyone is safe and accounted for.

Coastal First Nations say the federal government hasn't been talking to them about Alberta's pipeline proposal, despite multiple requests for nation-to-nation meetings "We are tired of learning about these discussions regarding our traditional territories in the press," reads a press release

At COP30 Canada just got awarded the fossil of the day — first time since 2014 (the harper years). Clear sign of how Carney’s pro fossil fuel agenda and backsliding on climate policy is being noticed internationally.

Last week, we asked Mark Carney a simple question about the Ksi Lisims LNG terminal: “How much taxpayer money are we prepared to invest in a project that is American-owned and foreign built?” He deflected for 3 mins without answering the question. Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tD8...

Congratulations to Canada for winning the Fossil of the Day (even beating the European Union!) at #COP30 for their backsliding on climate, violations of Indigenous rights, pretending that CCS and “low-carbon oil” are real, and absenteeism from the conference itself!!!!!!!!!! #cdnpoli

Warriored up. #COP30

As the CDN prime minister designates select projects like Coastal GasLink and LNG Canada in the "national interest," the companies behind them continue to form deep ties with Canada's spy agency and other federal law enforcement. Here's a look at why this matters. thenarwhal.ca/csis-resourc...

“The best that can be said of Canada’s presence at COP so far is that it’s not as actively harmful as Prime Minister Carney’s major projects agenda back home. But we need better." Read our network's analysis of Canada's performance at COP so far, & how Canada can step up in the final week. ⬇️

On the low, all the spineless politicians sometimes make me want to run just to show them how easy it is to have integrity.

Really disappointing, especially when civil society groups are utterly disappointed with Canada’s presence at #COP30. Surely if they had a plan to meet our targets, they would be showcasing it here. Instead, we got empty words AND new fossil fuel project announcements.

Kayapo adornment. #COP30

Heavy police presence on Day 1 of Week 2 at #COP30. Need military to keep Indigenous people out, while 1600+ fossil fuel lobbyists waltz in. In Canada’s case, many of them are apart of our official party delegation.

And yet, and yet, and yet… People still take to the streets and dance.

Re-upping this 🧵 from when Ksi Lisims LNG was given enviro approval. NOTE: Downstream emissions from Ksi Lisims will be roughly equivalent to 5% of Canada's TOTAL domestic GHG emissions. This is a carbon bomb - a willful act of arson. Mark Carney simply does not get the climate emergency... 👇

The Minister of Environment and Climate Change looked me in the eye today and said that the projects Mark Carney announced yesterday must match communities desires, and that Canada has a duty to consult Nations before projects are a part of the One Canadian Economy Act. #COP30

Canada is telling the world at #COP30 that they are committed to keeping global temperatures below 1.5C, but Carney just praised LNG and committed taxpayer dollars to projects that have detrimental consequences for Canadians and the international community they claim to stand behind! #canpoli

Canada bragging about net-zero commitments that they made with Indigenous, Metis and Inuit people at #COP30. They often start sentences with “it’s not a perfect process.” No, it’s not perfect. It’s not even good!

#cop30 kicks off today - follow my brilliant colleagues @janellelapointe.bsky.social @cyriellemaison.bsky.social and Albert Lalonde representing @davidsuzukifdn.bsky.social in Belém! davidsuzuki.org/project/cop/

Would you love me if I were an ostrich?
