10 years ago, PM Mark Carney delivered his famous Tragedy of the Horizon speech, warning that our financial systems were underprepared for what was to come. 10 years later, very little has changed.  If only someone who understood the financial risks of feeding the climate crisis were in power 👀

#MEDIA: Today marks 10 years since PM Carney’s Tragedy of the Horizons speech, yet our financial system remains underprepared for climate risks and continues to favour investments in fossil fuels over clean energy. Action is urgently needed: environmentaldefence.ca/2025/09/29/p...

"We're inheriting a crisis that we didn't create." — @kiinewkwe on climate change Tonight at 8/11pm on the Agenda with @canadagray.bsky.social (@envirodefence), @greenprofgreen.bsky.social, Tyler Hamilton (MaRSDD), Anabela Bonada (ICCA_Canada) & @spaikin.bsky.social | Producer: @MayaAbramson

The reason that nobody is stepping forward to build another pipeline is that the last one cost tens of billions of dollars more than budgeted, took nearly ten years to complete, and is half empty. I wonder why investors are balking at Premier Smith's pleas to build another government boondoggle.

"They have done so much damage to the investment climate that one ones' willing to step up and put billions of dollars on the line if there isn't a guarantee that they're going to get something built" Is Premier Smith referring to the investment-killing restrictions she imposed on renewable energy?

So, what are the #G7media covering today? If anybody wants to talk #energysecurity let me know.

If Canada wants to lower trade barriers with global powers, we’ll need to strengthen our environmental and consumer protection rules first - and resist the corporate deregulators in our midst. My op-ed in the @hilltimes.com (paywall): www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

Canada's election is done. Here's what each party proposed for climate-related finance. In a minority government, parties all have a degree of influence, so knowing what each parties proposed. See here:
