PM Mark Carney's government must pick a path. At a time when there are evacuations in Manitoba and Northern Ontario, it is irresponsible to increase the expansion of volatile, unnecessary fossil fuel projects. 🧵 globalnews.ca/news/1117981...

I’ve been thinking a lot about the opportunity presented by the current geopolitical chaos, and how there seems to be no leadership in Canada, at any level, wanting leverage this moment to make new investments in our society. No drive to take action except hunker down and wait…

So glad to see @steveanderson.bsky.social & other leaders in our business community using their voices to defend common sense climate action at Metro Vancouver. And they're right - cutting these common sense programs would hurt businesses in our region.

It’s REALLY important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against downtown bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of the evidence that they are better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Bike-lanes mean business.

Unwilling to forgo a "carbon tax election," Poilievre today declared that a Conservative govt will also repeal industrial carbon pricing. It's by far Canada's most impactful climate policy. This election will be consequential for Cdn climate policy. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Okay so real question - which governments or scientific institutions are most likely to step in to fill this void? Or do we just not get a cure for cancer anymore?

Both BC Premier @davidebybc.bsky.social + Leader of the Opposition @johnrustad4bc.bsky.social are calling for federal levies on US thermal coal exports—or an outright ban. 💯 agree this is the right move at the right moment. #healthyfuture @cape-acme.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"This is like a tobacco company teaching kids about health, or a fast food company teaching kids about good nutrition,” said @cape-acme.bsky.social president Melissa Lem. “There's a clear conflict of interest.” Great coverage of CAPE + @forourkidscanada.bsky.social's new fossil fuels in 🏫 report.

Yes we’ve got a 30 day reprieve but we’re still dealing with an unpredictable vindictive bully who wants to annex Canada. So, how can we use this not-nearly-over crisis to build the economy we want, one that puts workers and the planet first? Good food for thought from @sethdklein.bsky.social
