If this government is serious about affordability, reconciliation, and climate leadership, it must stop serving fossil fuel giants. The federal government’s fossil fuel push fails Canadians on affordability, climate, and reconciliation. ecojustice.ca/news/carney-...

The Carney government seems determined to use its rushed & flawed Building Canada Act to boost fossil fuel mega projects & flood global markets with made-in-Canada climate pollution for decades to come. Ecojustice's responses to the national project list: ecojustice.ca/news/carney-...

The federal government has appointed Dawn Farrell — a board member and former CEO of the Trans Mountain Corporation (which operates Canada’s only oil pipeline to the west coast) — to lead the new “Major Projects Office” (MPO). Why should you care?

We need climate-smart nation building projects that will prepare us for the needs and challenges of tomorrow. Tell your MP what sort of nation-building projects you want to see! #elbowsupforclimate #nationbuildingprojects #cdnpoli #billC5

The new Building Canada Act (in Bill C-5) gives Cabinet power to fast-track projects they designate as serving the “national interest”.     Now, Cabinet will decide the criteria that a project must meet to be deemed in the "national interest".

Canada’s pension regulator is “sleepwalking into a climate crisis,” warns Shift (@shiftaction.bsky.social) & Ecojustice (@ecojusticecanada.bsky.social). Underestimated climate risks could put $1T in CPP & PSPP savings at risk. More: www.theenergymix.com/regulators-b...

The Court confirmed it: removing bike lanes violates cyclists' rights and won’t reduce congestion. Ford's government could choose facts and safety, but instead, they're wasting tax dollars to defend dangerous politics. We’re ready to keep fighting. #BikeLanesSaveLives @cycletoronto.bsky.social

Astonishing.

Governments across Canada are rewriting the rules to fast-track projects and silence public input. Ecojustice is sounding the alarm on Bills 5, 15, and C-5 — three power grabs that put nature, democracy, and Indigenous rights at risk. #cdnpoli #Ecojustice

Across every region and party, nearly 9/10 Canadians want the government to take strong action on toxic ‘forever chemicals’. By following through on its commitment to regulate PFAS, the government has an opportunity to show Canadians that it’s listening and leading on urgent environmental issues.

“it’s only a matter of time before our courts recognize that governments who fuel the climate crisis are violating the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms” 💯 — @ecojusticecanada.bsky.social #ICJruling #rights #freedom #health ecojustice.ca/news/ecojust...

The #ICJ ruling could "open the door to more climate litigation in Canada. “All governments are now on notice that they cannot continue to put our future at risk,” he said, adding that Canada could be asking for legal trouble if it decides to build more pipelines."" Read 👉https://bit.ly/41gxShv

"She added the [#ICJ] ruling could also be useful for court cases, including a climate lawsuit launched by young activists against the Ontario government for not doing enough to fight climate change, with weaker emissions targets than those set up by previous governments."  👉https://bit.ly/41gxShv

PFAS are toxic, widespread, and need action. In a @nationalobserver.com  op-ed, Ecojustice’s @remy-alexandre.bsky.social explains what Canada can do to curb the PFAS problem under federal law. The science is clear. Minister @juliedabrusin.bsky.social, the time is now to act 👇

“In our opinion it’s impossible to represent the interests of a partisan government as special adviser, an independent regulator as part of the board of the (regulator), private companies in his consulting work, and then represent the public in creating this strategy all at the same time.”

A win is a win! 👏 After the Ford government’s attempt to appeal, the court has ruled in favour of upholding a temporary injunction first granted in April 2025. In other words, Ontario continues to be prevented from removing 3 major bike lanes on Yonge, University, and Bloor in Toronto.

"This legal protection ensures that the government cannot move ahead with removing the protected bike lanes until Justice Schabas has the opportunity to decide the merits of the applicants’ Charter challenge." @bronwynroe.bsky.social @ecojusticecanada.bsky.social ecojustice.ca/news/cycling...
