This election is not about Trump. It is about standing up for Canada and defying the rage-baiters, conspiracy trolls and those who trash our nation to score points. This election is about you Pierre Poilievre. We reject your hate politics. Canadians do your best. Don't accept the worst.

There's still time to pour one out for the #GreatLakes today on World Water Day (March 22)💧 Lakes Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, and Ontario collectively hold ~20% of the planet's freshwater - 6 quadrillion gallons! That's enough to submerge the entire continental US in nearly 10 feet of water!

Today is #WorldWaterDay. A day to honour, love and advocate for life-giving water. #WaterIife

Trumps mumbles about tearing up a century old agreement between Canada & the US to manage our shared waters, his desire to change the Columbia R Treaty and his reference to Canada as a “large faucet” should have everyone in our countries worried. Elbows Up, Canada! #water #sharedresponsibility

Love these fluvial photos to spell out Canada. Strong & free & filled with freshwater 🇨🇦 💦

Happy #WorldWetlandDay! We all benefit when wetlands are protected. They are the kidneys of our planet (filters), they sequester carbon and are home to countless cool species.

I’m concerned for waters in North America …Trump has a delusional idea that water is being wasted if it is not serving humans.

Putting a new bridge over an ecologically significant alluvial island in the Ottawa River is a mistake. #Ottawa #rivers ottawacitizen.com/news/federal...

Good news for a change! #protectnature

I finally had a quiet moment at the @cangeo.bsky.social office on our Biinaagami map of the #GreatLakes that is enhanced with augmented reality. We still have moose in the northern watershed, but populations are in trouble. We all need clean water & healthy freshwater ecosystems.
