Great move #ClimateActionNow

Environmental leadership means speaking out and asking tough questions not just when it's easy or politically convenient, but when it truly matters. @patrickbweiler.bsky.social consistently shows us what this means.

Seems like I've seen this story before. The price of VCRs & VHS tapes also plunged before their demise. But by all means, let's squander tens of billions of tax dollars on pipelines & carbon capture doomed to be stranded assets for another sunset industry. #EndFossilFuels www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The Pathways Alliance project would inevitably be a massive boondoggle if it ever gets built. It’s only purpose is to greenwash the oil industry and deceive Canadians into thinking we can be a clean petrostate.

I'm curious to see how this develops Eby's been using Alberta-style grievance rhetoric - the feds don't defend BC's interests, BC doesn't get a "fair share" but props up heavyweight have-nots like Ontario, Quebec - for months Seems unlikely Ottawa's handling of the MOU helps that

@stevenguilbeault.bsky.social Thank you for your integrity and conviction to fight the #ClimateCrisis I know that you will find another way to make a difference 🙏

New from me, Rick Smith, and Peter Nicholson. “Our policy advice is pretty simple: Clean up electricity and electrify everything possible. This is the nation-building project Canada needs…” www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Any political “leader” still selling the obviously false choice between #ClimateAction and “the economy” is just reminding us that they clearly don’t understand either the climate crisis OR the economy. Or they’re cynically hope that WE don’t understand the difference. Or both.

Tonight maybe my FAVOURITE recent book in the #UrbanismBookClub —“EMERGENT TOKYO: Designing the Spontaneous City” by Jorge Almazan & StudioLab. Even if you’re not as fascinated with Tokyo urbanism as I am, this book is both brilliant & gorgeous. HT to @jasonthorne.bsky.social for recommending it. 3/

Manitoba is choosing new gas plants to meet its energy needs. Wind, solar and batteries could close the gap instead. @climateactionmb.bsky.social have a roadmap for Manitoba’s clean energy future⬇️

Shameful @mark-carney.bsky.social

Many people don't realise how climate change is already - not in the future - affecting our lives. And it's doing so in ways that, once our eyes are opened, we can notice! For example, food. h/t @climatecentral.org

Mayors play a crucial role in addressing the climate crisis. By reclaiming public space from the private property of cars, mayors can cut pollution, revive civic interaction, enhance public safety, and expand green space. But only if they're willing to take on entrenched interests.

Our elected leaders represent their constituents, advocating the better good for their communities. Kudos to Mayor Fawcett!

“The Media Is Complicit in the Climate Confusion: The vast majority of people want their governments to take climate action—but most wrongly think they’re in the minority. The media is partly to blame.” Via @amywestervelt.bsky.social in @thenation.com

Regarding Prime Minister Carney’s federal budget: I don’t pretend to fully know it, and there are elements that concern me, but if I were the NDP I’d pledge to support it if a significant investment in urban public transit (nation-building, climate etc) was added, and if I were PM Carney I’d agree.

Federal budget day. What will Canada look like, feel like, sound like tomorrow, and, beyond?

Here are my three truths about climate: 1. We fail if we don’t end free-to-pollute fossil fuel model. Period. Game over. 2. A crash looms, prefigured by collapse in home insurance/mortgage markets. 3. There are true villains in the story, and we have to tell it that way.

“We’re the only animal that knows we’re going to go extinct and knows what has to be done, and we’re not doing it.” 🌎

Criticizing Carney is one thing, but criticizing him for not reaching a deal with Trump yet is to miss the biggest, most important point in the world: who and what Trump really is. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

I seriously think the Jays are a great and timely model of healthy masculinity. Selfless devotion to the common good, positive affection (they hug a lot), not a lot of ego, and there's room to be hyper-competitive and possibly unhinged (Max Scherzer) without being toxic. They are good!

From insufficient funding to systemic racism to the decline of math and reading scores to “behavioural issues,” there are regions that do better than B.C. — and other jurisdictions that look to the province as a guiding light. @kehyslop.bsky.social reports. 🎒 #BCEd

The paperback edition of #OnFreedom is out today. It preserves a positive argument about how to build a better country and has been updated to account for what has happened in 2025. timothysnyder.org/on-freedom

More ridiculous abuse of the notwithstanding clause by awful right wing premiers. The Supreme Court needs to address this ASAP, or we have to admit that we have no Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada.

What are we now - in grade 2? Putting tariffs on Canada to retaliate against an ad is so childish. Is there a corner he can go stand in while he thinks about his behaviour? Signed moms everywhere.

There are many good science fiction novels. Not a single one that I have read delivers a happy vision of the future in which aged right-wing billionaires control the media.

Yes we do! #ClimateActionNow

Kids out of poverty, affordable childcare, public dental, serious climate action, advanced reconciliation, and forceful responses to a pandemic and Trump thrown in for good measure.

"Trump's critics see a campaign to silence them." No, CBC. Your job is to report facts. The Trump regime is engaged in blatant censorship. This isn't about the 'perceptions' of the fascists' targets. www.cbc.ca/news/world/j...

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

Our kids are expecting us to do more, not less, to protect their childhoods and the planet we will leave behind. Let's leave a cleaner legacy: action.gensqueeze.ca/leave_a_clea...
