www.pm.gc.ca/en/mandate-l... I don't like the idea of becoming a "conventional energy" super power, but the rest I like.

Pierre Poilievre's top advisor is a major corporate power broker. A look at Jenni Byrne’s extensive lobbying activity reveals billion-dollar corporations and ethical concerns.

97% of business leaders support the transition away from fossil fuels to renewable energy - poll in 15 major economies by @e3g.bsky.social #climatecrisis #the89Percent www.e3g.org/publications...

I've mostly stopped doing fact-checks of Trump claims about climate change, b/c most of them are so tired and obviously stupid. But this latest claim felt new—and potentially potent for parents of young kids. So I dove into the science of climate anxiety in children:

Poliviere says he will scrap all taxes, fees, controls, etc. on CO2 emissions, which means our trading partners would add tarrifs to our exports. The liberals continue to break their promises and pledge to support the petro industry. They need to lose votes to the Greens www.cpac.ca/leaders-tour...

RFK's pledge to find "what caused the autism epidemic" in a few short months is a transparent lie, to cover a preordained conclusion. But digging deeper, it gets much worse: it's about justifying a downright sadistic assault on children's health. www.salon.com/2025/04/14/r...

Barely more than one-tenth of 1 per cent of fentanyl seizures at the northern border have been positively attributed to Canada by the United States border agency, according to new data released to The Globe and Mail. tgam.ca/4jefk86

„Americans, we have to show outrage to our European partners. This is shameful.“

Forget about all the bad news once in a while and follow people who make you smile.

Bro pulled off the sickest shot on skates 😱

👇🏽”That’s not efficiency, it’s cruelty and chaos” @ossoff.bsky.social is really good at this

Big Oil doesn’t belong in our classrooms. 📚 It’s time for real, science-based climate education, and a future powered by clean energy. The Green Party of Canada is fighting to make it happen, let's do it together! 🟢 #GreenFuture #VoteForIt

Extreme weather is getting worse. Tornadoes, wildfires, and dust storms are becoming more intense, fuelled by a changing climate. We can’t afford to look away. The Green Party of Canada is fighting for bold climate action to protect our communities. The time to act is now.

As the Muslim holy month of Ramadan unfolds, Israel’s actions—blocking humanitarian aid and carrying out airstrikes—blatantly violate the ceasefire and continues the genocide of Palestinians. Canada must call for Palestinian statehood and implement a strong two-way arms embargo.

Once again, Poilievre's policies put big polluters ahead of Canada’s climate. Removing industrial carbon pricing puts our environment at risk. It’s time for leaders who prioritize people over profit. Join us in building a greener, safer future.

I certainly don't want to vote CPC but I don't want to reward the LPC's shift to the right of centre. Neither will get my vote, and since the 3rd choice in my riding is way behind in the polls I will be voicing my support for the party with a conscience. www.greenparty.ca/en/our-plans...

Casar: On a roll? What I know is that when the ultra-rich and special interests were on a roll in the 1920s and started controlling the government, they crashed the economy and caused the Great Depression. We’ve got to stop that roll—we can’t let them do something like that again.

They'll likely lose their grants, so www.haskelloperahouse.org/support-us.h...
