🧵📣New report: governments must urgently force oil & gas companies to pay for their environmental damage -- before production falls this decade We can't let the enormous cleanup bill fall to the public @envirodefence #cdnpoli environmentaldefence.ca/report/past-du…

So thrilled to see @UWaterloo taking up this responsibility as part of the TRC! "The University of Waterloo is offering a full tuition waiver to all qualifying students from two First Nations communities on whose traditional territory the University is situated."

Yesterday, on day 8 of our hunger strike, we decided to end the strike due to health concerns for the strikers. This does not mean we are done. We have seen so many moved to action to support this movement. @McMasterU, this is not the end. This is only the beginning.

🚨BREAKING 🚨 In light of our recent sit-in against @RBC's fossil fuel financing, the @UofT Student Union will prohibit all new @RBC sponsorships !!!

Tomorrow - 11am - Uptown Waterloo Square! @RBC @cibc @scotiabank @TD_Canada @BMO have invested C$700 billion in the fossil fuel industry since Paris! Meanwhile they fund 'sustainability programs' @UWaterloo End #greenwashing! Thanks @WR_Record! bit.ly/3Z7ETxi

Update from hunger strike, day 2! Our strikers power on but will @McMasterU respond?

So we are finally seeing Govt of Canada spending a significant chunk of $ on climate advertising. Good! But entire focus of ad series is on natural solutions (wetlands, grasslands, etc). It's like they are going out of their way not to name fossil fuels. youtu.be/bDoAK7iyweA
