Just learned about Save Our Winters. (Thank you @katharinehayhoe.com.) Fewer places can safely and fairly host snow sports, and that window is closing fast.

Bill C-12 was passed by MPs but Senators can still vote NO. Send a message now! #canpoli 🇨🇦

Last week Canada announced it will develop its own tailpipe standards for GHGs. That's about to get way more urgent. When EPA repeals the endangerment finding its GHG tailpipe standards, which are predicated on that finding, will immediately be defunct. Cdn law references US regs that won't exist.

I reflexively flinched at this title but glad I clicked and read it - there are a whole bunch of good criticisms in here and I have probably been complicit in at least a few of these problems in my time

💙📚 This looks fantastic!

Bolivia created four protected areas spanning 907,000+ hectares, strengthening wildlife corridors across the Amazon and Andes while supporting forest-based livelihoods. With national protections slowing, local governments are stepping in.

Thread. 🧵 (1/x) On the superiority of water as the primary decontaminant for tear gas and peppery spray on skin and eyes. To make it clear to people, this is a thread. Some of you are not clear on the concept. I will reply this with another post and mark it with a number in (x). And so forth. (1)

“Scientists should stop trying to be neutral and instead embrace their values,”says a group of top climate scientists, including @katharinehayhoe.com. The neutrality myth is harming the reputation of science right when we need it most.” #ClimateCrisis Science isn’t neutral. It’s science.

But it tells you quite a bit about the purpose of an auto strategy when it makes wholesale changes — scrapping the existing electric vehicle standard, introducing a new system of incentives, and a new approach to fuel-efficiency rules — without assessing the probable impact at the tailpipe. 😡

All Canadians should sign. #canpoli 🇨🇦 That this isn't already a requirement is ridiculous.

Intoduce yourself with 5 concerts you've seen with women lead singers Jann Arden Metric Tegan and Sara I know there are more but I am stuck! I have seen more musicals than concerts, so I will add: Anastasia Wicked

One of my favourite parts of travel is discovering new music. This song from my 2008 trip to Italy is a frequent ear-worm! youtu.be/orVIoKcJcvU What songs have you discovered while travelling abroad? 🎵🌍 #travel #music

NO to ICE in Canada!! 🇨🇦 The only ice we need is the kind we skate on!

Winter sports stand for health and resilience—not fossil fuel ads. Tell Canada to make Milano Cortina 2026 the last Olympics sponsored by fossil fuels. cape.ca/action/choos... #canpoli #climate 🇨🇦

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

Please read and sign the petition. Call out @support.bsky.team and their racist bigotry.

Winner winner vegan dinner!

BREAKING: @OntarioPCParty convention today @fordnation was asked: “Grassy Narrows is still being poisoned. Will you compensate Grassy Narrows for the ongoing mercury crisis?” Ford said thanks to "my OPP" for clearing protesters. #FreeGrassy #OnPoli #GrassyNarrows #OPC2026

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Send a letter to Senators: Stop C-12. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/send...

Sign to tell Australia to leave a sacred Indigenous site intact.

"The law...must not be subject to regionally-based, populist-infused jealousies and recriminations of a separatist-enabling ideologue like Danielle Smith. ...her threat...is proof she’s not qualified to weigh in on Carney’s breakfast order, let alone the federal selection process for courts..."

Always read @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social. A lot of problems I think about would be less intractable if we talked to real humans.

This is SUCH a good @climateadam.bsky.social video - the quotes here from tech CEOs are beyond belief. I didn't even know about a bunch of these......go watch:

The optimist vs pessimist divide in #climate debates isn’t usually about the data. It’s about how the same graphs are read, what people emphasise, what they discount, and how they interpret pace and stakes. Here’s what I mean 🧵👇

"The combined 'disruptive' and 'ecological' impacts of climate change will drive an additional 123m 'clinical cases' ... even if the current climate pledges are met, the study finds." EVEN IF THE CURRENT PLEDGES ARE MET. The world must work together to eradicate malaria.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"Canada has long talked about strengthening its presence in the Far North, and is now paying the price for its failure to follow through on that commitment, say the experts."

All scholars of history know that every great civilisation and empire falls. Ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, the empires of Europe. Watching it happen in real time is terrifying.

People in 2050 would give trillions of dollars just to have the climate that we enjoy today.

Wrote myself a pep talk to get back to work tomorrow. It helped me. Hope it helps you.

David McGuinty, Canada's Minister of National Defence, has responded to Donald Trump's claim that America has "never really asked anything" of NATO, that the alliance sent only "some troops" to Afghanistan and that "they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines." It's pretty blunt.

“It’s cold outside where I live today, therefore climate change doesn’t exist” is like saying “I had breakfast this morning, therefore hunger doesn’t exist”

Inside the unsavory cobalt mining operations wreaking brutality in the Congo.

For CBC Arts, I wrote about why I think Canada needs to revel in the beauty of its weirdest impulses www.cbc.ca/arts/canadia...

Perfectly sums up everything that is wrong with this "Board of Peace". @mark-carney.bsky.social should not be part of this hypocrisy.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

There are times the fundamentals of world politics change to an extent hard to grasp. Here is an article from reputable Canadian media about Canadian military modelling to defend against an US invasion. Yes, you read that right.

For most people here, wild salmon stocks are precious, sacred, and a cornerstone of life here. For the LNG industry, they represent just another corner to cut. We deserve better than dead-end fossil fuels. thenarwhal.ca/woodfibre-ln...

Carney has spent the past year subtweeting Trump. At a certain point, these words mean nothing if he won't actually come out and say what he's criticizing.

Yes, Canada *should* stand in solidarity with other democracies against authoritarian powers But we should also be rejecting rhetoric that legitimizes the idea of a world order dominated by “great powers” or the idea any sovereign country is a “menu” item that can be metaphorically cannibalized
