Allegedly committed to net zero?

So true - Canadian governments (fed, prov, muni) are paying tens of billions each year - damages caused by polluters who profit from externalizing their costs.

Wood Mackenzie confirms new natural gas generation is expensive! $126/MWh in 2030! New solar plus batteries are less than half the cost of new gas! New nuclear ($139/MWh) also is getting close to being cheaper than new gas! Gas too is dirty, biggest CO2 electricity polluter. #energysky

This could have major implications for Canadian oil and gas valuations - potentially underplaying clean up liabilities on their balance sheets by billions of dollars.

A leaked report for the WA government has found gas exports risk undermining the energy transition in destination countries, contradicting the WA Premier’s claim that the state’s emissions are justified to aid the global transition. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Mark Carney could remove the emissions cap, the tanker ban, and anything else Danielle Smith demands. Her proposed pipeline still wouldn't get built because the business case for actually filling it gets worse with each passing day. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/10/23/o...

Total a bien fait du greenwashing, tranche la justice, et c’est une première

Dawn Farrell made the unusual claim before Parliament that the Trans Mountain pipeline fights climate change. The Major Projects Office, which she heads up, was unable to substantiate that claim, @woodsideful.bsky.social reports.

JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citi are financing a massive new oil-drilling project in the Amazon, just in time for COP www.commondreams.org/news/banks-f...

Thank you to Tom Howell and CBC Ideas for having me on to talk through the contradiction at the heart of new Canadian pipeline projects. Believing we can escape the consequences of expanding fossil fuels doesn’t make a 2 degree future less deadly! Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Better late than never: our 18 pp (!) analysis of #ableg's so-called Mature Asset Strategy (w/ Shaun Fluker and @drewyewchuk.bsky.social). TLDR: the MAS is a thinly disguised attempt to rewrite the origin story of Alberta's O&G closure liability crisis and to push more gov't support & deregulation.

Climate change is causing "a major paradigm shift" in real estate markets due to the impact on insurance, says investment guru David Burt, who predicted the 2008 financial collapse... The Fed "should focus on the markets where home prices are falling"... www.axios.com/2025/09/23/d...

The world’s top fossil fuel countries still plan to produce more than twice as much coal, gas and oil as would be consistent with climate goals. In fact, they’re planning even more than they were two years ago.

...while they also invest in growing that risk via fossil fuels.

Our Senior Policy Analyst Michael Sambasivam spoke with Vassy Kapelos this week about the inclusion of LNG on Canada's major projects list. Have a listen below. #ESG #Canada #LNG

Despite all the net zero pledges, all the marketing, researchers found only 2% of companies had aligned their capital investment with their net zero goal As they say, money talks and it’s speaking volumes

It's not your imagination: Wildfire smoke in the U.S. has dramatically worsened since 2019. According to a new study, it's already killing 41,000 people a year - and it's poised to get much worse. new from me @johnmuyskens.bsky.social and @sadbumblebee.buzz www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

New research tracks the alarming number of European heat deaths linked with human-caused global warming.

A new study finds dozens of heat waves would be "virtually impossible" without the activity of major fossil fuel producers, including oil companies.

Hold onto your wallets. The federal government is about to give a bunch of your money away to hugely profitable fossil fuel companies.

The Office of the Chief Actuary is severely underestimating the systemic financial risks of climate change to pension plans and failing to assess the cascading economic and financial impacts of a rapidly warming world. Read our letter to the OCA. #cdnpoli www.shiftaction.ca/news/2025/8/...

UPDATED: Canada is pushing LNG exports to Germany, but with demand falling fast and a global gas glut ahead, experts say the risks are high. @ember-energy.org, @investors4paris.bsky.social, and @miningwatch.bsky.social weigh in on this developing story with @cleanenergywire.bsky.social 👇

1/ The feds will soon name new directors to the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. #cdnpoli Our $732bn pension is still fossil-entangled. 3 of 10 directors are tied to oil & gas companies. Canadians need climate experts– not #fossilfuel interests– on the board. www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

Residents of California, Texas, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey are hit the hardest.

Cenovus & Enbridge face a greenwashing complaint alleging they misled investors with incomplete net-zero claims. @investors4paris.bsky.social says their business models contradict climate goals, breaching Alberta securities law. More: www.theenergymix.com/breaking-cen...

Canadian pension funds are already using the ‪Science-Based Targets initiative to inform their climate strategies. Will they hold themselves to the new SBTi standard for financial institutions- which calls for an end to financing #fossilfuel expansion? #cdnpoli www.shiftaction.ca/news/2025/81...

Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson recently said he knows there are buyers for Canadian LNG. But is that true? There's a global gas glut on the horizon and Canada is a late entrant with few credible prospects. Via @dariussnieckus.bsky.social www.nationalobserver.com/2025/08/20/a...

Meanwhile, as Canada burns, most politicians are calling for more fossil fuels.
