When a child is protected from infectious diseases, they can go to school, their parents can go to work, and their community can thrive. Join me and @ONECampaign in speaking up for @gavi and life-saving vaccines! act.one.org/sign/gavi-hand…

This #EarthDay, all eyes are on Ottawa as the #PlasticsTreaty negotiations kick off. @JustinTrudeau @s_guilbeault it’s time to #EndThePlasticEra. That means: ⬇️ Reduce plastic production ❌ Eliminate unnecessary plastic products ✔️ Prohibit chemicals of concern

Let’s not make Earth the home of plastics. Drastic reduction of plastic production NOW. youtube.com/watch?v=Ddczu4…

There's no ifs and buts about it. We're in a housing affordability crisis. @OntLiberal has a real plan to allow four units as of right across #Ontario. We will help supply housing to students, families, renters, downsizing seniors, and anyone struggling to find an affordable place to live in their community. Standing behind massive, single-family homes, like @fordnation did this morning shows that he doesn't actually care about building affordable housing. #onpoli #housing

"What’s worse than political dumpster fires.Forest fires. Heat waves. Droughts. A Canadian economy stuck in yesterday. At some point, political games do not serve the country; they actively undermine the well-being of Canadians." @ctsragan is spot on. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

From today's joint statement signed by @CAPE_ACME: "Climate policies have nothing to do with the hardships Canadians are facing, yet [some federal politicians and many premiers] are ignoring the real causes of the cost of living crisis and scapegoating carbon pricing."

10 reasons can't blame carbon tax for inflation

What’s your Carbon Plan @PierrePoilievre ??? If you agree that @PierrePoilievre must provide Canadians with his Plan RETWEET

@DanWoy Thanks for the thorough data. Canadians are smart and polite. Together, we will get through this very silly time where there seems to be some sort unCanadian interference with our democracy. In the meantime, onward and upward with #CanadaCarbonRebate canada.ca/en/environment…

The Clean Electricity regulations need some starch.

The federal government is proposing to back down on some key elements in their upcoming clean electricity regulations. See this short video for more information and to learn how, until 15 March, you personally can can tell the feds not to do this. /2 link.climatemessengers.ca/dQra1N

@ActionShift @cppinvestments Expansion of the oil and gas industry must stop. We know this. CPP should re-align investments to the low-carbon future.

By pledging the Canada Pension Plan's continued support for Alberta's oil and gas industry, @cppinvestments CEO John Graham predictably told Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and her Big Oil allies exactly what they wanted to hear. #cdnpoli #ableg #oilsands corporateknights.com/category-finan…

Thanks so much @CitizensLobbyCa and @VivianeLapointe !

🌎I am tabling a petition calling on the Federal gov to move forward immediately with a bold emissions caps for the oil and gas sector that are comprehensive in scope and realistic in achieving an interim and science-based target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
