Strengthened federal methane rules are finally out.🚨 But the government risks undermining this progress by supporting expanded fossil fuel projects.❌ Read more: www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Talking heads will tell you Canada always misses its emissions targets, so why bother. Not true. Just a few years ago, Canada was on track to deliver on significant climate progress. Now, we're backsliding in a major way. We must change course. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/12/17/n...

Huge kudos to Ottawa and groups like @cafesottawa.bsky.social for landing more renewable and energy storage projects in Ottawa. The renewables revolution is here. The solutions are cheap, safe and better for our health + climate. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/proponent-fl...

Methane rules should be celebrated as the first substantive climate measure of the Carney government. But context is key: huge delays, special carve-outs, and a ton of other bad climate policies courtesy of the Alberta-Canada MOU. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/canada-unvei...

Here is some eye-opening footage on methane leaks. One of the biggest challenges to securing action on methane - which heats the climate and damages our health - is that it's invisible. This footage solves that problem. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

After years of delay, methane regulations have finally been released. This is positive news, but this one step forward on climate policy must be balanced against the giant leaps backward stemming from the Canada-Alberta MOU. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

The Alberta-Canada MOU is a disaster for Canada's climate efforts. We can't afford to get this wrong. Send a message to the Environment Minister today. ecojustice.ca/take-action/...

Don't be fooled by the lie that Canadian oil + gas is a climate solution. There are huge problems with how we measure methane, and people boosting oil production ignore the fact that 80% of emissions come from burning the fuel. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/new-report-p...

Most coverage of the AB-Canada MOU ignores its catastrophic impact on our climate policy. But @elizabethemay.bsky.social gets it. "[I]t is only too late if we throw in the towel and embrace suicide pacts like the Canada-Alberta memorandum of understanding." www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/1...

In the context of the feds backsliding on climate commitments, and an Ontario government completely asleep at the wheel, it's gratifying to see cities like Toronto stepping up on key pieces of climate policy, with strong public support. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.thestar.com/news/gta/two...

"If we think extreme weather is extreme now, just hold on because it's going to get a lot worse going forward." Powerful testimony from Dr. Blair Feltmate at the House of Commons Standing Committee on Environment. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCdg...

When it comes to environmental policy, is the federal government like an aging classic rock cover band? Signs point to yes. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.nationalobserver.com/2025/12/03/o...

The Liberal government seems happy to torpedo its climate progress. This includes backsliding on long-promised methane regulations, which are designed to tackle near-term warming while providing immediate health benefits to Canadians. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/no-the-ottaw...

It boggles the mind that, in 2025, Asian countries with a growing climate death toll must negotiate with a US administration whose company line is that the whole thing is a hoax. It's a pretty deadly hoax, by the looks of it. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/ocean-warmed...

Now for some good news. Big congrats to @mayoroliviachow.ca and Toronto City Council for moving forward on landmark rules to protect Torontonians from extreme heat. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.nationalobserver.com/2025/12/10/n...

Great piece by Steven Guilbeault. This isn't Canada's first 'grand bargain' with Alberta. The last one left Canadians on the hook while Alberta moved backwards on emissions. Let's not do this again. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Here's the big lie from Canada's oil and gas industry: that it's a massive source of jobs. Don't buy it. Fossil fuel employment has fallen to less than 1% of the work force, while growth in global energy jobs continues to surge. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/fossil-fuels...

The Ottawa-Alberta MoU is a backslide on methane goals. That delay adds 1.9M tonnes of methane, roughly half the annual pollution created by the cars on Canada’s roads. Alberta is already behind on methane — and now it has permission to fall further behind➡️ buff.ly/qriG0i3

Like other cities across Canada, Toronto is experiencing a surge in extreme heat due to climate change. The faster we can move on maximum temperature bylaws, the more lives we can protect. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.thestar.com/news/gta/pla...

Did Mark Carney give away the Liberals’ advantage on climate change? Yes. www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

Imagine the hole in Alberta’s budget when the price & demand for oil is in long-term decline in 2030s as a result of the energy transition and increased demand for clean energy. Not nostalgia for the past, it’s about winning the future. Just economics, folks.

Talks on #COP30’s Global Goal on Adaptation are stuck behind closed doors. Communities can’t wait. 🇨🇦 needs to step up: support strong, measurable MoI indicators + real adaptation finance. Time to move. Read more ⬇️ 🔗 tinyurl.com/2wjnchr5

What are Carney’s value(s)? At this late stage of #COP30, Canada seems all about oil and gas announcements at home. Great piece from @jvipondmd.bsky.social @cape-acme.bsky.social www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/20/o...

Dr Joe’s COP30 diary day 8. Fossil of the Day. The daily “award” given to the country who is seen to have done substantial harm to the climate multilateral negotiations. Who could possibly have won it today? 1

Finally huge Kudos to the crew at @cape-acme.bsky.social! Volunteer Drs. Mili Roy, @drmelissalem.bsky.social + @samanthagreen.bsky.social! And incredible staff with Dr. @latemper.bsky.social, @robb-barnes.bsky.social and Nola Poirier! An amazing team that accomplished so much to save our world! Fin

This is the definition of tone deaf policy in the midst of #COP30. Canada, the world is watching. They don’t like what they’re seeing right now. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Hearing from @jvipondmd.bsky.social at the WHO Health Pavilion at #cop30 this morning. We’re talking about the urgency and health case for a fossil fuel phase-out. @cape-acme.bsky.social

Bravo Québec! This is the kind of major project we need to see more of in Canada 🇨🇦 At #COP30, we’ve heard crickets from the government on new climate commitments. Good to see la belle province picking up some of the slack. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Doctors dancing with giant lungs at #COP30. What more do you need? Of course, there is a point: the Amazon, the very lungs of the world, hang in the balance as negotiators discuss the future of climate and health. @cape-acme.bsky.social apnews.com/video/doctor...

Dr. Joe’s #COP30 diary Day 8. What are actions? Why do they exist? Why are they important? Find out here. 1/

CCS (carbon capture and storage) is an acronym all Canadians should be come familiar with. There are over 530 CCS lobbyists on the ground at #COP30, promising tech solutions to climate change that do not work at scale. Photo from press conference happening now.

Today’s geopolitical observation from #COP30: China is eating America’s lunch. These are pics of the China Pavilion, which is huge and bumping, all while China bends its GHG curve. Meanwhile, the US is MIA. They won’t even bother to send delegates to sabotage the process 😂

Great to hear from @senrosagalvez.bsky.social at #COP30’s Canada Pavilion today. The senator made an urgent case for integrating nature-based solutions into climate action. The science is clear and the time is now. @cape-acme.bsky.social

Great panel at @who’s #cop30embelém🌳 Health Pavilion today, featuring @cape-acme.bsky.social physicians @drmelissalem.bsky.social and @courtghoward.bsky.social and many others. We’re hearing about how nature-based solutions can heal people and the planet at this critical time.

The best part of #COP30 so far. The Brazilians sure know how to have a great march. Muito obrigado a Belém por serem anfitriões tão gentis. 🇧🇷 @cape-acme.bsky.social

Welcome to #COP30, where there are 50 fossil fuel lobbyists for every delegate from the Philippines. Talking about how to remove the stumbling blocks to climate progress, featuring @cape-acme.bsky.social’s Dr. Samantha Green.

🚨 #COP30 is flooded with fossil fuel lobbyists. Dr. Vipond @jvipondmd.bsky.social and Dr. Green were there with CAPE's physicians and team to denounce it, alongside the #KickBigPollutersOut coalition.

Dr Joe’s COP30 Day 5 Today’s theme: Keep Big Polluters Out Especially Canadian Lobbyists

The best part of #COP is being surrounded by smart, dedicated climate advocates from Canada and around the world This year at #COP30, it’s great to see @cape-acme.bsky.social President @drmelissalem.bsky.social in action - here talking to CBC about Carney’s LNG announcement.

We see you, Canada! 🇨🇦 At #COP30, @cape-acme.bsky.social is pushing to stop greenwashing and advance domestic climate action. Canada should be making great strides at COP, but Carney spent part of yesterday pushing LNG expansion. Let’s do better.

Another year at #COP, another round of oil and gas talks on stage at the Canada Pavilion. This on the day that a new report sums up how COP is dominated by oil + gas lobbyists: www.theguardian.com/environment/... COP needs to kick big polluters out. @cape-acme.bsky.social

One of these things is not like the other. At #COP30, Canada is facing tough questions. Beyond the announcements + pledges that dominate headlines, there is a real problem with Canada's trend line. Thanks to @climateinstitute.bsky.social for the analysis. @cape-acme.bsky.social

Blockade at the gates #COP30

❤️❤️❤️ 🇩🇰 🥳

"The reality is that because climate change is a global crisis, international relations are an inescapable part of it. COPs are the modern arena of geopolitics. And like it or not, they can’t be ignored." www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/11/a...

Two years ago at COP28 in Dubai, governments around the world committed to tripling renewables by 2030. The world is actually (somewhat) on track. But Canada is falling behind others in this critical race. The Climate Competitiveness Strategy needs detail - and teeth. @cape-acme.bsky.social

Hey Media! want to talk to a Canadian physician working hard to make change at COP30? There are five of us! Learn more about what we are doing there, and how to reach us, in the link below.

Cutting methane will make us healthier, create more than 34,000 jobs, and start healing our climate. Canadians need @mark-carney.bsky.social and Tim Hodgson to pass STRONG methane regulations now. Take action at: www.forourkids.ca/support_stro... @heathermcpherson.bsky.social #cdnpoli #methane

Like Canada, the US is a complex, decentralized system. Climate leadership from states and cities has never been more important. Excited to work with American climate leaders at #COP30. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

More than 5,000 fossil fuel lobbyists were given access to the UN climate summits over the past 4 years, a period marked by a rise in catastrophic extreme weather and record oil and gas expansion. It's time to kick big polluters out. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...
