Dear America,
A trade deficit doesn’t justify the tariffs any more than the minor challenges at our shared border.
The important relationship between our two countries is unique. We should be building on its success, not undermining it.
Credit rating agency doesn’t believe US home insurance segment will be profitable again anytime soon because of population growth in “catastrophe-prone areas”. The word “#climate” appears once in the 7th paragraph. news.ambest.com/PR/PressCont….
On #leadership: As the @LFC community comes to grips with Jurgen Klopp's decision to leave the club at the end of the season, here's a 2019 piece that gives a glimpse into the man and his #leadership - never mind the tactics, for now.

Research suggests that $1 spent on adaptation to climate disruption yields $15 in avoided costs. Hard to find public spending (or private, for that matter) with a $ benefit like that. theglobeandmail.com/politics…
Compelling piece from Joanna Eyquem at @ICCA_Canada @UWaterloo, fellow @ClimateProofCA member, on the need to go beyond aspiration and invest in climate adaptation & resilience. sciencepolicy.ca/posts/clima…

The #climate crisis and #housing crisis are sadly connected. This summer in Canada has shown that climate-related risk must be closely contemplated in where and how new homes are built. financialpost.com/fp-finance…
"...historical observations are not sufficiently representative of future conditions..." #Infrastructure built 50 years ago was probably based on weather and #climate data from 100+ years ago. Builds & upgrades clearly require future focus. tricitynews.com/national-new…

You may have seen the video of our friend, the brilliant @BikeLaneDiary taking traffic enforcement into his own hands. Here he is, dishing out dozens of yellow cards to rule breaking motorists. Someone's gotta do it eh TPS? #BikeTO 1/3
A compelling argument for more #female and #Indigenous leadership in #energy & #climate transition.

If we're getting hung up on picking winners and losers in a net-zero future, isn't it better to think of @ExxonMobil - and every other #energy player - as "a joule company"?
Exxon CEO just admitted they’ll never become a clean energy company.
“At the end of the day, we’re a molecule company, not an electron company.”
Maybe investors and policymakers should stop pretending like they’re suddenly going to change. energyvoice.com/oilandgas/50…

This article very effectively explains the scale of the #climate challenge vs our capacity to remove carbon from the atmosphere, and therefore why our efforts must be heavily weighted towards reducing emissions. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

“Strategy is about making choices, trade-offs; it’s about deliberately choosing to be different.”~ Michael Porter
On #climate "Canada needs to work hard at both ends of the rink", writes @IBC_CEO. That means playing offense (reducing emissions) and defense (building resilience). How will the upcoming federal budget address each? ibc.ca/on/resources/media-ce… #cdnpoli
