Canadians love to call ourselves a "water nation," but there’s a dirty secret flowing into our waters. In 2026, raw sewage is still our quiet crisis. After 20 years of work at @SwimDrinkFish, I’m looking at why we still haven't "finished the job." open.substack.com/pub/waterkeepe…

@HealthRanger @AOC Does he know @RFKJr_Official fought to declare glyphosate carcinogenic?

Trump just declared, "glyphosate-based herbicides are a cornerstone of this Nation’s agricultural productivity and rural economy." And he's declaring glyphosate weedkiller to be a federally-protected critical resources. This is insanity.

Trump just declared chemical warfare on the American people. It's all here in black and white: whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…

@s_guilbeault Respect. Thank you for all you have done. And thank you for your integrity, it sends a strong message.

This afternoon, I informed the Prime Minister of my decision to resign as Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, Minister responsible for Official Languages, Minister of Nature and Parks Canada, as well as his Lieutenant in Quebec. You can find my full statement below.

@harry_fosters Amazing capture Harry!!

This was a fun evening as I knew the full moon was going to rise over the #NationalGallery, I knew where I had to be, at a certain part of the Museum of History's property down by the water. I took water, snacks and a folding garden chair, and waited. I think it was worth it.

@allenanalysis Yes!!!

Obama didn’t name names. But we know the type. Old men clinging to power, not out of purpose, but fear. Fear of irrelevance. Of death. So they build pyramids, slap their names on towers, and pretend it’s immortality. And they’re dragging the rest of us down with them.

Canada’s own Margaret Atwood (The Handmaid’s Tale), talks about how taking away #womensrights is often the 1st step of fascist/authoritarian take-overs. Republicans are using this same playbook. They’re stripping away freedoms; abortion bans, attacks on contraception and IVF.🧵

.@RobertKennedyJr you were once a strong advocate to eliminate harmful pollutants from coal-fired power plants. Mercury in our water, in breastmilk, etc. How can you sit by as the EPA rolls back landmark environmental regulations?! Fight for real you coward. @Waterkeeper

The Great Lakes hold 23 quadrillion litres of water and 20% of the world's fresh surface water supply. But how did Canada and the USA determine the border between the Great Lakes and also agree on the use of the lakes? Let's learn about the treaties! 🧵1/10

Joe Rogan says 𝕏 is the most trusted source of news! True.

@cafreeland A tough decision, but the right one to send an important message that doesn't seem to be getting through to our PM. How interesting that the smartest, strongest women in cabinet can't work well with the PM. That tells a story right there.
