Toronto East End Climate Collective

On March 12th, 50 communities put forward a bold vision for a #JustTransitionAct. Now, we need Minister @JonathanWNV @SeamusORegan and @CQualtro to legislate a just transition off fossil fuels before the end of 2022! Sign the petition: act.350.org/sign/pass-jta/

At the inaugural People’s AGM on @RBC’s true impact on climate, thousands of people including @RBC shareholders and customers vote to use people power to push the worst fossil bank to walk the talk of real climate action. #ThePeoplesAGM #RBCRevealed act.leadnow.ca/rbc-divest-FF/

@dmrider @JohnTory The next step[ is to clear the sidewalks before the roads. This reduces the health costs enormously.

Mayor @JohnTory making a snow-clearing announcement (!) right now. I'll tweet

If you didn't get a chance to watch the @ClimateLiveCA @ClimateLive2021 concert last week, it is up on YouTube. youtube.com/watch?v=pGyB6m…

@LynAdamson1 I love it Lyn Nick

Lovely garden instead of car!

#StopThe413 New podcast by @cbcwhatonearth brings a good set of diverse views expressing concerns quite eloquently @jenni_forestier @marilyniafrate @GinoRosati @SustainVaughan @SustainSauga @peelclimate @DavidSuzukiFDN @envirodefence @carolynhparrish cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

Talk about conflict of disinterest.

Good news folks

Check out this nuclear policy article: What’s In Store for Nuclear in a Biden Administration: goodenergycollective.org/policy/whats-i…

rapidtransition.org/resources/camb… "[T]he richest 1% of the global population needs to reduce their emissions by a factor of at least 30 by 2030, while the poorest 50% of humanity could increase their emissions by three-times their current level."

Tuesday night - You may have heard of the #413 but have you heard of the Bradford Bypass, another highway the province wants to build through the Greenbelt? Join Laura Bowman of Ecojustice and Claire Malcolmson of Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition, to learn more.

Why is it that Vancouver is spending $80 per person on climate change and Toronto is spending $8 per person. #ClimateCrisis #EnvironmentalAction #climate #climatechange #climateaction #environmentalaction #environmentaleducation #environment #Vancouverclimate

"Norway, the UK and Canada are not climate champions. They are climate hypocrites." These nations "all plan to keep producing fossil fuels, investing in new projects and explorations." #FaceTheClimateEnergency edition.cnn.com/2021/02/17/wor…

@GretaThunberg Canada is a climate laggard. Provincial elections have upended climate plans. Premiers Kenney (AB), Ford (ON), Moe (SK), Legault (QC), Pallister (MB) & Higgs (NB) fighting constitutionality of evidence-based climate plans negotiated in 2016. The people voted for them.

Headline correction - Ford Cancelled paid sick days in 2019, now the site of Toronto’s largest workplace outbreak does not provide workers with paid sick days.

This is cool. A conservative MP standing up to provincial conservatives to oppose a highway that his residents don't want. Is Halton an alternative universe where politicians agree across party lines sometimes?

Expropriate vacant apartments and hotel rooms now.
