A new report by @jimbostanford.bsky.social for Centre for Future Work confirms what we have been saying: volatile oil prices, not carbon pricing, drove inflation. In fact, their research shows households lost $12K over 3 years to oil price spikes. centreforfuturework.ca/2025/03/19/n...

Poilievre wants to ditch the industrial carbon price. He doesn't want to make big polluters pay. Rather, he only wants to provide "carrots" to encourage decarbonization, with no revenues to pay for that - so the public is to pay the polluters. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Appalling. I wrote about WWII code talkers in my book. Indigenous soldiers from both US & Canada who used their languages to transmit allied plans. Their languages, which both 🇺🇸 & 🇨🇦 tried to expunge from the earth, became "the unbreakable code", key to many victories: www.axios.com/local/salt-l...

After years of misleading Ontarians to keep them hooked on gas heating when cheaper options like heat pumps exist, Enbridge warns us it is about to impose an "unusually large hike to gas bills"... More than ever, it's time to get your home off gas! www.thestar.com/news/ontario...

And will Premier Ford stop doing everything in his power to make us dependent on US fracked gas? - Cancelled renewable energy projects - Procures more gas when renewables and batteries came in cheaper in the RFP - Passed a law so Enbridge could continue hooking up more Ontario homes on gas

Premier Ford is live talking about cutting economic ties with the US. Will that include stopping the import of US gas? Will this government admit it was a bad idea to cancel renewable energy projects, which could have prevented us from burning so much US gas for our electricity?

As more headlines cover the supposed "demise" of Big Oil's "embrace" of the green revolution, I'll repeat what I've said a million times before: they were never invested in the green energy transition in the first place and should never be considered allies in the fight against climate destruction.

Super important read! We need to understand we are not seing the same set of "facts" as our neighbours, which is why it seems impossible to agree on anything anymore. How do we, without the millions of $, compete? I'm not sure yet... Organizing is probably part of the answer.

Why are our political leaders going to D.C. looking for answers? There can be no appeasing. There can be no negotiating under threat. The answers aren’t in Washington. There here at home and with like-minded countries and others similarly threatened.
