Canada's biggest bank Royal Bank has abandoned its sustainable finance targets and further walked back its climate commitments. Ball is now in Prime Minister Mark Carney's court to regulate and incentivize them into action. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Reader comment: "Carney could start by allowing small parties some funding so that they can promote their (often good ideas), rather than eliminating their Official party status." 👍 www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/30/o...

"Adding bus stops, expanding transportation networks and increasing the frequency of routes could help. Better shade and rain coverage at bus stops also could encourage riders." #transit #mobilityjustice #publictransportation

“Cyclists and pedestrians who are hit by “supersized” cars are 44 per cent more likely to be killed than if they were run over by a conventional car”. 75% of primary kids in London walk/cycle to school -the increase in SUVs is terrifying www.standard.co.uk/news/transpo...

The results of this election demonstrate, once again, that Canada’s archaic voting system is failing voters. #cdnpoli #PR #fairvote #ProportionalRepresentation www.fairvote.ca/29/04/2025/c...

"This will be a third minority parliament in a row. It speaks to a lack of national consensus but also to the possibilities of compromise." No. It speaks to an archaic voting system that is failing voters. With proportional representation, voters would be fairly represented.

"The party leaders talk about reconciliation as a transactional contract to enable resource development, not about consultation as a relationship of partners wherein any alternative development is possible." ricochet.media/indigenous/a...

Priorities I hope this new gov't will address: ✅️Electoral reform: proportional representation ✅️Affordable Housing ✅️Creation of a Ministry for Disabilities & stronger support for #PWDs ✅️Implementation of universal basic income @mark-carney.bsky.social #canpoli

Keys to organizing as we continue fighting for better

Mark Carney "is the model of a modern central banker: competent, conventional and colourless, more likely to be popular at Davos than in retail politics." .... As he said himself in March: “I’m most useful in a crisis. I’m not that good in peacetime.” 😬

Cars are weapons. We need to treat them as such and regulate their speed (via GPS), mass (via per kg registration cost), and use (ending driving and parking private vehicles as a privileged land use).
