"We are, in the end, all one generation: the last generation capable of saving ourselves from extinction." I wrote my first article on @Medium to share how the main event of my 20s seems to be.... human extinction!

Nathaniel Erskine-Smith was the only Liberal to vote against his own government’s closure motion, which limits debate time on Bill C-5 #cdnpoli #ParlCA ipolitics.ca/2025/06/17/lib…

The U.S., Canada, Norway, and Australia are among the richest in the Global North with the greatest economic capacity to phase out extraction, and yet are still approving and enabling new oil & gas projects. oilchange.org/blogs/planet-w…

".. instead of “Greenbelt” was “G*,” which the IPC report says made it “virtually impossible to find relevant records,” Ford government condemned for deleted Greenbelt emails, use of codewords /via @globeandmail theglobeandmail.com/canada/article… #Onpoli #HandsOffTheGreenbelt

@dwrightman @pothen Check out these estimates for new generation: cleanairalliance.org/wp-content/upl…

@dwrightman @pothen You are right that in the past, Ontarians paid an unusually high rate for wind and solar —largely due to choices by past governments. Cost estimates for *new* wind, solar, nuclear and gas are very different than the past averages shown in the OEB report.

Offshore wind bans. Fetters on ground-mounted solar. Procurement that stacks the deck against wind, solar & batteries Just like with housing, the Ontario government is KNOWINGLY kneecapping the most abundant and low-cost sources of electricity. environmentaldefence.ca/2025/06/12/the…

My take on this plan? It risks making life worse for Ontarians by leading to - higher bills - increased reliance on U.S. imported gas -greater air pollution - more severe climate damages Not what we needed, not what we deserve!

The piece she's quoting is a huge mess. It conflates peak *supply* and peak *demand*, and spends most of its time talking about the former. Nobody, to be clear, is actually worried about the former.

Please see my response letter to the oil and gas sector CEOs.

We have an opportunity to protect the Ontario we love! 🌳💧🧑‍🌾🐟🌎 A provincial election has been called for February 27, giving us the chance to choose a government who will protect nature and put people first.

🚨 A recent report shows that the Alberta Energy Regulator did NOT investigate 97% of the reported toxic tailings leaks in the tar sands! #abpoli Not investigating the leaks means it’s not known just how damaging the leaks are. The Alberta Energy Regulator is supposed to protect Albertans and the environment, but instead the regulator is putting the environment and people, especially Indigenous peoples, at risk.

Fossil fuel mega banks @RBC @BMO signal they will quit the Net Zero Banking Alliance, meant to advance #climate action. We warned their membership was greenwashing. But quitting while climate #fires burn in Los Angeles seems out of touch. stand.earth/press-releases…

New @ieefa_institute report shows the Pathways Alliance's CCS hub would require high levels of taxpayer $$ to stay afloat Govts are already set to shoulder 50% of the $16 billion price tag How much taxpayer money is too much for this reckless project? ieefa.org/resources/fina…

BREAKING: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirms that he will be resigning as Prime Minister after a new Liberal leader is elected, says he told his kids the news Sunday night and now sharing it with the nation. #cdnpoli

Trudeau government’s carbon price has had ‘minimal’ effect on inflation and food costs, “That’s roughly 1/38th of the overall 19-per-cent increase in consumer prices over the past five years, with the effect on food prices being “even smaller,”” #cdnpoli thestar.com/politics/feder…

A new paper from a pair of Alberta academics makes it clear that the cost of the carbon tax is far less than its critics would like to pretend. Will our feelings start to care about the facts? #cdnpoli nationalobserver.com/2024/11/27/opi…

New research shows that the carbon tax caused 0.5% of inflation since 2019 In other words, the carbon tax is NOT driving inflation I repeat: the carbon tax is NOT driving inflation thestar.com/politics/feder…

#Media - Our new poll conducted by @abacusdata found that the majority of Canadians support government action to phase out the use & production of fossil fuels and prioritize renewable energy #cdnpoli Support was highest in Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia Read more here: environmentaldefence.ca/2024/12/11/new…

At COP28 countries launched the #COFFIS coalition to #StopFundingFossils They had promised to release their fossil fuel subsidy inventories by COP29 & many did But Canada missed the deadline @cafreeland & @s_guilbeault: we need transparency - release the inventory now!
