This Lane Hutson guy is pretty good. #Canadiens

I tried to move an amendment that would at least align us with neighbouring municipalities but it was defeated. Turns out we’d rather be like Burns Lake than Burnaby

It's like "look--the ozone hole's doing fine, so why was there all that worry" (the ozone hole recovered BECAUSE of policy intervention, i.e. the 1987 Montreal Protocol to ban ozone-depleting chemicals, which Ronald Reagan supported). It's a mendacious fallacy that targets the logically challenged.

Canada’s MOU agreement with Alberta puts the country’s commitment to net zero emissions by 2050 firmly out of reach. Read our full statement from @rjcsmith.bsky.social ⬇️ climateinstitute.ca/news/mou-wit...

If you’re having a sandwich at an outdoor cafe when a car hits you, is it a “lunch crash”?

None of us alive will experience climate better than what we have now. How much worse it gets is up to us.

"I wrote Fire Weather as a public service announcement: Folks, you may have never heard of Fort McMurray, but what happened to it has heard of you." - @johnvaillant.bsky.social One last time before the weekend, my 100% human-powered conversation with some very smart folks about fire.

“Both Russian and pro-Trump U.S. actors are amplifying and spreading misinformation about Alberta separatism in the hope of fraying Canadian unity and sowing distrust.” An overt attack on Canadian sovereignty, meant specifically to manipulate Canadians. That’s what’s fuelling Alberta separation.

White supremacists are openly admitting that anti trans and anti Indigenous fear mongering is working to normalize their agenda

This is correct Elon Musk’s legacy is >500,000 tiny coffins*—these are coffins of kids in low-income places of the world, so his actions were very fitting with the MAGA/MAHA Administration’s world view (*Brooke Nichols at BU estimates 750,000 deaths by Jan 2026, of which >500k were in kids)

Emissions from households—from personal transport to home heating—make up 20% of Canada’s emissions. Fortunately, there’s a solution that can cut emissions and protect people from volatile fossil fuel costs: electrification.⚡️ Read our latest⬇️🧵 climateinstitute.ca/how-governme...

Things are not going well in BC. A🧵. The residential school deniers have taken their masks off and are now using Nazi rhetoric in the Legislature. 1/x

Check out this starter pack British Columbian and Canadian climate and science friends. The #SOEST program at UHM is great. Happy that I have daughter studying there right now. #climate #science #oceans

A few years ago, I bought a house with the aim of making it my home. I succeeded. But I also became part of a serious national problem, and shame. thewalrus.ca/i-bought-a-h...

The Next Generation Indigenous Art Show runs until April 30 at the Clayoquot Campus, a newly reopened space in Tofino.

"France will double state support to 10 billion euros ($12 billion) a year through to 2030 to help its switch to electricity from oil and gas and their derivative ​fuels [...] Measures including boosting the use of ​electric vehicles and modernising home heating..."

Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.

Courage and grace that few will ever know. Well worth a few minutes of your time to read.

April fools? /crosses fingers it is not

What fucking BULLSHIT PERFORMATIVE ASSHOLES

I feel like the surrender of the global electric vehicle market to China is one of those things that will, with a couple of decades of hindsight, be vastly consequential. Scaling benefits, technology development, supply chains... A lot of incumbents that depend on export markets will be screwed.

Went and saw #ProjectHailMary with the family this weekend. Excellent! Can’t recommend it enough. Smart people, solving problems, overcoming fear and self doubt. Hardcore science nerds, don’t get bent out of shape, it’s just a movie ;) #science #space #chemistry

This problem will not solve itself. Caring for family members is physically & emotionally exhausting. And for many, financially crippling. Hard truth… we need to raise taxes to build LTC infrastructure & resources. Is the @davidebybc.bsky.social government brave enough to advocate for this?

@thejuicemedia.com's Honest Government Ad wasn't kidding❗Canadian PM Mark Carney (aka Banker Daddy) skips #COP30 to announce fast-track of American-owned Ksi Lisims LNG project

Governments across the country, of all stripes, are coming for your right to know what they're doing.

Think heat pumps can’t handle Canadian winters? ❄️🍁 In Europe’s coldest countries, they’re already the norm — and they’re 2-3x more efficient than gas boilers, even well below zero. Retrofits make homes warmer, cheaper to heat, and ready for the future. Graph: @carbonbrief.org

if we’re fomenting rage against First Nations because people are being given two years notice to vacate their expiring leaseholds on reserve land then we’ve kind of lost the plot

Never forget the root of these days 🪶

Hypocrisy runs deep 🙄 When it’s about history, suddenly no one is responsible for what their ancestors did. But when it’s about migrant kids, responsibility becomes hereditary.

Anonymous ITG, talking tough behind an alt, threatened by a woman brave enough to report bad behaviour in public.

So when we see people like Rachel Gilmore stalked by people emboldened to wear Nazi symbols in public, understand where the Nazis’ sense of safety comes from: Gutless governments who refuse to do a bare minimum to make it unsafe to be a fascist in public.

PLEASE HELP US SHARE THIS: “We’ve let the lies be far too successful, and that’s significantly hurt our cities. No more.” It’s our blunt NEW @usa.streetsblog.org op-ed sharing why we’ve created @urbantruth.bsky.social. SPOILER: We need to call out the lies and tell the truth much more persuasively!

The Real Villains in North America's Low EV Sales? Legacy Automakers Max Fawcett and I discuss his column, "Canada's big bet on EVs can still pay off." We may or may not have discussed EVs' impact on the future of Alberta oil. #ableg #cdnpoli youtu.be/h_Cp8z4HeiI

Credit where it is due... the @nytimes.com does this one right. Unfortunately, it was (and is) their sanewashing of Trump, and long before him, their rampant bothsideism of climate & science denialists that helped lead to this state. There's no shame in the NYT editorial room either it appears.

If you spend time in the bad place, you’re hearing this claim a lot: Alberta sends $23B more to Ottawa than it gets back. If we separated, we’d erase the $9B deficit and have a $14B surplus. It sounds simple. It’s wrong. Here's why. 🧵

Oak Bay gets a lot of flak but Saanich should be building at least 5 times the number of homes that it does

Hard not to see this as deliberate political disinformation central to a key wedge issue targeted at a large voting block with potential language limitations early in a municipal election season. In other words, lying on purpose so you can win. Twice. #Vancouver

Radiohead is demanding that the Trump administration take down a pro-ICE promotional video featuring a version of its song “Let Down” without permission. Full statement from the band:

Angry Orange Grandpa is talking and Affirmation Coyote is not listening.

Global temperature change from 1850-2023. Watch till the end. There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #phaseoutfossilfuels #go100re

Not to mention the suggestion from those "reasonable" conservatives that rights violations are fine, but sweeping rights violations are bad when their objectives are not made explicit.

Wildfires in Canada last year burned over 15.3 million hectares (37.8 million acres) of land, nearly 10 times more than 2022 and roughly the size of New York state: buff.ly/3BbTguk This isn't normal. #ActOnClimate

Greenhouse gas concentrations keep rising. The planet keeps warming in response. And that added heat shows up in the extremes and impacts. This is really basic stuff. Data from gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/
