As exhausting as the current political climate is…
As @CaulfieldTim clearly spelled out on our latest episode, it’s more important than ever that we don’t give up.

What we are doing is not enough. We have the solutions. Stop the delays and implement them. #ActOnClimate

Congrats to those who overcame a fierce lobby from the fossil gas lobby and thanks to the Councillors who did the right thing: Vancouver council votes to keep natural gas heating ban for new homes Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/10892155/…

My guess is that this sort of AI approach—allowing the customer to design whatever they want and sending the images to an overseas factory—will make a lot of people rich but leave customers with a lot of ugly clothes that eventually wind up on eBay or dumpsters.

Yet another incident of police violence against Indigenous in Canada. Monday morning twin brothers Joshua and Garrett Papigatuk were shot by Nunavik Police Service in Salluit, Quebec. They were unarmed.
Joshua is dead. Garrett was medivaced out in serious condition. Community members protested in Salluit yesterday denouncing the killings. There is an epidemic of systemic violence via police/RCMP in this country that is largely unchecked.

For years, we've been campaigning to hold the fossil fuel industry accountable.
Today, Canada finally released draft oil & gas #EmissionsCap regulations, but this must be followed by swift implementation.

A few days ago the Alberta gov called my colleagues and I a bunch of « eco-radicals » for asking 🇨🇦 to regulate the country’s largest polluters - oil and gas companies.🧢
I don't have 7 million in taxpayer dollars for a PR campaign. But what I do have are some facts. 👇 #cdnpoli

A 15 year old child was killed by RCMP on Friday. He was First Nation. His name, Hoss Lightning. Where is the outrage Canada?

The enviro community, along with Indigenous leaders, faith, peace orgs, doctors and teachers, saddened by the devastation and losses in Jasper, call to address the root cause of the climate crisis: oil and gas pollution.

Vancouver city council > remember when we found out that Vancouver stove samples registered toxic trace amounts of Benzene that were 50x the amount of other eastern cities like Boston? Your bait and switch last week at council for your buddies at Fortis is despicable

THIS! 👇
Reintroducing natural gas heating in new construction in Vancouver means that owners and renters will have to pay more to retrofit their dwellings down the road. Short term gain for developers at the expense of owners, renters and the planet. #VanPoli #ABCMustGo
Rolling back any progress on climate action at the same time as wildfires devastate the boreal forests. One of the few areas Vancouver can actually take action is regulating heating fuels in new construction. #climatecrisis Instead ABC does more climate damage. Thanks Ken Sim!

Only in a petrostate are firefighters forced to prioritize protecting a massive tar sands pipeline from climate fueled wildfires.
Shameful.

Canadian insurance companies invested at least $19.5 billion in coal, oil and gas companies last year, fueling the climate crisis (meaning higher insurance payouts.)
Their solution? Hike rates, offload risk to governments, increase shareholder dividends

Today we released a report daylighting the contradiction within Canada's P&C insurance industry - facing rising climate damage claims (and passing along these costs to consumers) while encouraging fossil fuels. investorsforparis.com/playin…

My op ed in @thehilltimes: Asking oil companies to provide evidence for their green claims isn’t censorship, it’s an inoculation against misinformation
