I'd like to see @EarthStrikeCA and the @CanadianGreens should coordinate on this. I'm happy and willing to help work on that.
In my speech on climate emergency, I called for a #climatecampaignstrike. We should set aside partisanship. All leaders should go to UN climate summit September 23 - to pledge real action- doubling Canada's target. #GPC #climate #climateemergency

Global military spending approaches $2 trillion a year, multiples of what's needed now for climate action & ending poverty. The military is also one of the biggest sources of emissions. Extinction Rebellion will join with other activists at CANSEC. The show must not go on.
Canada sold $5.8 billion in arms over the past 25 years to dictatorships around the world. It has also sold weapons to Colombia, Mexico, Indonesia and Kenya. On May 29 at 7 am, the CANSEC weapons trade show in Ottawa will be challenged by local activists. facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=…
Absolutely incredible and inspiring. Earth Strike stands with student strikers fighting for climate justice. Go Howey Ou!

No one is coming to save us. Actual morons are pushing us over the cliff. Self defence requires SLOWING DOWN AND... STOPPING. Stop traffic, stop working, stop paying debt, stop buying, stop business, stop the money flows, stop the country.

can’t believe smash mouth wrote “judging by the hole in the satellite picture, the ice we skate is getting pretty thin, the water's getting warm so you might as well swim” 20 full years ago and some people still aren’t taking climate change seriously
There has been some mixup with Fridays for Future and Earth Strike.
Let us be clear: the general workers strike is still on September 27th, and the date will not change.

BREAKING: UCU are the first trade union to endorse Earth Strike UK’s call for a general strike for climate on September 27th.
UCU is the largest post-school union in the world, representing academic-related staff in further and higher education.

.@cathmckenna dismisses a #GreenNewDeal for Canada saying "Tackling climate change is a marathon, not a sprint." Wrong: we already lost the marathon, thanks to decades of doubling down on the dirtiest fossil fuel extraction. Now the only race left is a sprint.

I’ve now read most of this report. I have to tell you: it is, on balance, a huge disappointment. There is zero radicalism in it: its vision is one of ‘pragmatic’ reform. It foresees aviation increasing and has no problem with that!
Bluntly: It is a recipe for slow mass-suicide.

Ashamed of Canada for allowing this. We should be better than this. huffingtonpost.ca/2019/04/30… #cdnpoli
Ottawa declares state of emergency as water keeps rising. Yet we have so far failed to stop new oil and gas build out. It’s either a climate emergency or it’s not. #cdnpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/fl…
