PARIS CITY HALL EXHIBITION TO OPEN JUNE 21st! I’m proud to join Paris Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social, iconic artist Shepard Fairey @obeygiant.bsky.social & local leaders next week to open this conversation-changing EXHIBITION on city leadership in climate action! www.paris.fr/evenements/d...

I don’t really have words to explain how it feels to see Kristi Noem standing on a street in East LA that looks like the street I grew up on in East LA with an invading military force trying to kidnap people who look like the neighbors I grew up with. It stays with you, spiritually.

Canada's pesticide regulator is leaving farmworkers in the dark about the health risks they face from pesticides because it has not been enforcing key provisions in Canada's main pesticide law for decades, alleges a new lawsuit. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/06/12/n...

In April, President Trump and Salvadoran President Bukele shook hands in the Oval Office to celebrate a deal to ship gang members to the notorious CECOT prison. But a new ProPublica investigation found there’s more to the story. 🧵👇

It's been remarkably easy to skip past the American wines on our visits to the liquor store, no matter how little help Scott Moe gives us in that regard.

If major projects aren't supported by First Nations, Canada can expect strained relations and a barrage of court injunctions and blockades with enormous power to slow industry. @adriennetanner.bsky.social writes for @nationalobserver.com www.nationalobserver.com/2025/06/10/o...

“Bypassing democratic norms under the pretext of a ‘crisis’ is a tactic as old as time," Alex Cool-Fergus, national policy manager at Climate Action Network Canada said of the federal government's new legislation to fast-track major projects. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/06/06/n...

Mark Carney's first meeting with Canada's premiers resulted in an agreement to pursue projects that export "decarbonized oil and gas". How that helped avoid a confrontation with Danielle Smith — and why it puts the pressure squarely on her. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/06/05/o...

The incessant demands by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for another oil pipeline to the West Coast spells nothing but trouble for her BC counterpart, David Eby. @adriennetanner.bsky.social writes for @nationalobserver.com www.nationalobserver.com/2025/06/03/o...

Good morning with good news: In April 2025, the world's electricity was as clean as it has been since about 1945. April fossil fuel share of global electricity: 2025: 54.75% 2024: 56.17% 2023: 58.12% 2022: 57.24% 2021: 61% 2020: 59% 2019: 61% Booming global solar & wind pushes down FF! #energysky

There's a deep sickness at the core of Trump's far right. I don't question that some conservatives have legitimate policy reasons to support the CPC. What I question is why they are helping enable extremist colleagues after seeing what is happening in the US. #cdnpoli www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

I mean obviously I am not looking forward to the political dissident internment camps BUT if the federalist society winds up going there first that is going to be absolutely fucking delightful.

My new investigation for @nationalobserver.com. The future of climate misinformation is here: persuasive letters generated by Al at "close to zero" cost—and targeting your city council. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/05/28/i...

This is how corporate bullies win. Alberta caves to industry lawsuits and inches toward more dirty coal development @adriennetanner.bsky.social writes www.nationalobserver.com/2025/05/28/o...

My latest column: Is this really the end of the federal NDP? Not so fast. 🤔 Reports of the NDP's demise may prove greatly exaggerated. The new Carney govt is quickly ceding political space for a revived NDP. But only if the NDP choose to robustly claim it. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/05/27/o...

RFK weighs in on Canada's ostrich cull controversy! "On Thursday, US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sent a letter to the head of the CFIA asking the agency to "consider not culling the entire flock." Great piece by @nationalobserver.com www.nationalobserver.com/2025/05/27/n...

Before our governments take a hacksaw to our impact assessment acts, consider the devastation industrial development and resource extraction projects can wreak on our environment with or without safeguards.  www.nationalobserver.com/2025/05/22/o...

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

Moments before President Trump escorted his South African counterpart into the Oval Office, White House aides could be seen wheeling two large-screen televisions down the driveway and into the West Wing. Little could have prepared President Cyril Ramaphosa for what he was about to see.

Someone put a mirror out with the trash near Grange Park, and this one Canada goose is VERY MAD at this FUCKING GUY who will not STEP OFF

Signing off with this photo of a nest of cardinal eggs near my sister’s front door. I needed to see something small and beautiful and filled with hope tonight. I thought some of you might need to see that, too. See you soon, bébés.
