Fascinating photo journey inside a Montreal metro ticket

Well-said @PatrickBWeiler and huge thanks for your work on bill C-59. People in Canada deserve the truth.

Pathways Alliance has scrubbed its website and all its communications in anticipation of the greenwashing provisions in Bill C-59, which we advocated for and is set to become law today.
First we closed the war room and now Pathways Alliance website has gone dark! Our modest greenwashing amendment to the Competition Act is having a huge impact! pathwaysalliance.ca
We helped shut down Alberta´s oil and gas propaganda "War Room"💥 Under the soon-to-be-passed Bill C-59, companies need evidence for their green claims. This spooked the Alberta UCP, and the "War Room" will now be folded into the gov't loom.ly/_1_KMoU

The fossil-fuelled climate crisis is a health emergency.
Extreme heat, wildfires, and climate disasters are hitting Canada hard, and healthcare providers are on the frontlines.
We brought this message to the streets of Ottawa, with billboards spread across the city.

NEW: @UNHumanRights NY Office Director @CraigMokhiber resigns in protest over timidity of key parts of #UN system on issues pertaining to Palestinian Human Rights. In letter to @volker_turk he says: "This is a text-book case of genocide. The European, ethno-nationalist, settler colonial project in Palestine has entered its final phase, toward the expedited destruction of the last remnants of indigenous Palestinian life in #Palestine."

CAPE’s own @latemper argues that Canada is lagging behind when it comes to addressing deceptive greenwashing practices.
Read about how we’re using “sophisticat[ed] activism” to force the government to pay attention and take action.
