We won! SCC rejected Ontario's application. Now, they must face the courts.

BREAKING NEWS💥: The Supreme Court of Canada has REJECTED Ontario’s appeal — and now the youth-led #Mathur v. Ontario case is headed BACK to court! This is a game-changer for climate justice in Canada. No more delays. It’s time for Ontario to face the music. READ 👉 bit.ly/4d3ljuU #GenClimateAction

Tomorrow is #EarthDay. If you are worried about the effects of climate change on our kids & grandkids, protecting Canada's biodiversity, and being a credible partner in the urgent global effort to slash carbon emissions & reach net zero, no joke: Poilievre is the worst possible choice for #Canada.

I voted yesterday. Advance polls close today. Voting at Elections Canada closes tomorrow April 22 at 6 pm. Election day is Monday, April 28, 2025

For 7 years, Sudbury’s @SophiaMathur has been striking for climate change. In fact, she was the first youth in North America to follow @GretaThunberg’s lead. She held her final Fridays For Future rally (as a youth) this week! #ListenToTheExperts

Je suis reconnaissante à tous les jeunes d'être entendus dans ma ville. ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/215...

Sixteen-year-old Samuel Sweet gets it! “Protesting and civic engagement is a very effective way of getting change done. It’s better than, for example, commenting online. Commenting online is not as effective as things like boots on the ground.” www.ctvnews.ca/northern-ont...

This election is so important. The sovereignty of our country is under attack on social media. "Information is accessible online from reliable news sources or even on the parliamentary website, not whatever you see on TikTok or the rhetoric you're hearing." www.sudbury.com/local-news/a...

FFF Greater Sudbury Rally – One Last Joyful Stand! 📅 Friday, April 11, 2025 ⏰ 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM 🌎 Join us as we rally for our future. This is more than a protest — it’s a celebration of youth leadership, community power, and our shared commitment to bold climate action. (yes, I am home right now)

This article is so good. #StandUpForScience www.thesudburystar.com/feature/grea...

Honored to receive a King Charles III Coronation Medal from my MP @vivianelapointe.bsky.social today. Merci, MP Lapointe. Still processing what this means—just know it means a lot. Grateful for everyone who has supported me. 💙✨ #Gratitude #KingCharlesIIIMedal

Save the date for next Fridays For Future event and probably my last event in Sudbury as I am going to university next year: Friday, April 11, 2025 10 am to noon. (we will nail down exact times soon)

Such an amazing article. I'm beyond grateful for my community. Over two dozen people braved the cold on the Friday before March Break here in Ontario. Dr. Elaine Blacklock and MPP Gelinas gave powerful speeches, and Salma spoke so well for the youth. Merci, Sudbury. You’re the reason I have hope.

#StandUpForScience #Canada On Friday, we danced near Canada’s largest science museum (Science North) and Northern Ontario’s largest hospital. Just down the road is Northern Ontario’s largest university. Sudbury💚science. The song was intentional the day before International Women's Day #ElbowsUp

In the news again www.sudbury.com/local-news/s...

Here in Canada, we want to send a strong message to our own scientific community: we support you, and we recognize the critical role science plays in shaping our future. www.thesudburystar.com/news/sudbury...

#Canada My local #FridaysForFuture group in Greater Sudbury is looking for other Canadian groups who #StandUpForScience on Friday, March 7 with the USA, France, Netherlands, and more. We acknowledge the short notice but we know that even a small gathering can send a powerful message.

Today, I was at the #50501 protest outside the American embassy in Ottawa. Best chant: boycott Elon Musk, boycott Starlink, boycott Tesla, boycott Twitter Temperature: -27c with windchill and well over 60 people!

Our courts are the guardians of our Constitution. When allegations are made that governments have violated the Constitution and breached our Charter rights, it is not only appropriate for courts to step in, it is their Constitutional duty. www.thesudburystar.com/opinion/sudb...

CHARLIE ANGUS IS DEFENDING DEMOCRACY We have the power to protect our democracy by restoring integrity to our information systems. @charlieangus104.bsky.social is showing us the way. This is going out across Canada this morning. canada.citizensclimatelobby.org/media-releas...

Say it with me, @nytimes.com @nytopinion.nytimes.com: "Elon Musk made a Nazi salute while standing at a lectern bearing the Presidential Seal."

"Elon Musk made a Nazi salute while standing at a lectern bearing the Presidential Seal."

It was -18C yesterday and beautiful. www.sudbury.com/local-news/c...

Onwards we go. www.thesudburystar.com/news/supreme...

We stand united with all who stand up for human values and know a better world is possible.

NYT Book of the Week: "In this hair-raisingly prescient book Vaillant makes the case that the raging wildfire that consumed Fort McMurray, Alberta in 2016 was a harbinger of catastrophes to come." - Elisabeth Egan www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/554938... #lafires

Canadian universities need to take some notes.

CELEBRATE HUMAN VALUES Disinformation (READ Zuckerberg + Musk) and foreign interference (Putin +) are weakening democracies around the world. This event has a message of hope, unity + resilience — reaffirming the principles that strengthen our shared humanity. www.thesudburystar.com/news/local-n...

We are celebrating HUMAN values. Sun Jan 19. 2025, 2:00 PM, 4 Corners You are not alone in your concern in the attack on the human values we all cherish. There is no "us vs them". There is just a "we". @tylerclarkesud.bsky.social @sudburystar.bsky.social docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Hey Canada, You are smart and beautiful and you deserve good things. Countless volunteers hours have gone into creating the political will for your Carbon Rebate since 2010. Selfless volunteers do this work for you. We are grateful for BlueSky. United we shall overcome. Love you all 💚🕊️🙏 CCL Canada

Sudbury will be celebrating Canadian values Sun Jan 19 2025, 2:00 PM at the 4 Corners Our values are worth celebrating. @marcgserremp.bsky.social @tylerclarkesud.bsky.social @vivianelapointe.bsky.social @sudburystar.bsky.social @jamiewestndp.bsky.social docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Wishing you all lovely Christmas. Justice and truth are conduits of peace, love, joy and hope. Feeling very grateful that this news is being spread in my community today. www.sudbury.com/local-news/o...

Merry Christmas, Be remembered as a good ancestor. Make polluters pay and protect your rebate.

I am home from school today. This is huge. I can't believe it is real. Alex, Shaelyn, Zoe, Beze, Madison, Shelby, Nader, Fraser, Danielle, Reid and the who amazing teams at Ecojustice are going to the Supreme Court of Canada. ecojustice.ca/news/youth-d...

Many were looking to access my recent Toronto Star piece - I've posted it here: www.climateandnature.com/media/opinio...

Today, I got a letter to the editor published in the Toronto Star "Canada has become a petrostate". In the summer of 2017, when I was 10 years old, the Honourable @cathmckenna.bsky.social and I made a pinky promise to protect the climate, and I felt empowered ... www.thestar.com/opinion/lett...

Incredibly proud of the advocacy work Sophia has already accomplished. We must all hold polluters accountable.

Canada is a petrostate. I witnessed it firsthand and wrote about what I saw when an oil exec was grilled by Parliament. My MP @vivianelapointe.bsky.social got me in the room. I saw @charlieangus104.bsky.social and others grill the exec. Canada is worth fighting for! www.sudbury.com/columns/gues...

Zoë Keary-Matzner, my amazing partner-in-crime fighting for our right to a livable future, just got named Woman of the Year in the Queen's West Post for her incredible bravery. I'm so proud of her! 🫶✨ Check it out here: issuu.com/postcity/doc...

US media are picking up on my speech calling out Donald Trump's attempt to bully Canada. Not on my watch Donald. Not now. Not ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Csnz...

In the future, our descendants will look back at this moment in history and say: Minister McKenna was a good ancestor. 🌎 Keep calm, price pollution, and celebrate your rebates! 💚
