Far Right Influencer Ben Shapiro not only endorsed #MapleMAGA – he says Canada would WELCOME a US invasion. And that we wouldn't get to vote in elections 🥴

We know gas is terrible for health.
But getting at local impacts from plants like this one in Toronto can be hard.
Very interesting to see data from this assessment: levels of toxic emissions are so high they could imperil development.

People want climate action! Global poll results show people understand the climate crisis is real & they want their leaders to do something about it.
But many, including politicians, underestimate public support for climate action. via @DavidSuzukiFDN davidsuzuki.org/story/people…

"It is absolutely critical to listen to the needs that communities have when they’ve been hit by a climate disaster, and it is important to address the cause of the disaster in the first place."

Fed gvt urgently needs to shift terrain w/ bold ideas on climate.
Fed Libs have not done enough on climate, but they do need a new approach. It’s time to stop being so damn boring & invite the fight with the fossil fuel industry.

Canada's climate pollution rose for third straight year in 2023, putting us further out of scope for our Paris targets. It's time to stop foot dragging on greenhouse gas emissions reductions efforts. #cdnpoli #GHG @bsaxifrage writes for @natobserver nationalobserver.com/2024/08…

Take a moment to digest this: on average, the federal government met with the fossil fuel industry 5 times per working day in 2023.
Oh, by the way, these are only the "reportable" meetings, meaning only the ones
- with senior officials
- initiated by the industry

Fossil fuel companies are pressuring the Canadian Sustainability Standards Board to weaken proposed rules to report on greenhouse gas emissions, threatening the country's ability to attract investment as the energy transition unfolds. nationalobserver.com/2024/08…

Are communities downstream of oil sands operations at higher risk for cancer and other health complications?
A study like this has been a long time coming. It's good to see it finally rolling out.

When we call for ambitious climate action, we get lots of comments about how Canada emits <2% of global emissions so go pick on the big emitters. Here are 5 reasons this is not a valid argument and why Canada’s climate action matters on a global scale🧵1/7 dsfdn.org/CanadasClimateActi…

We are all feeling shocked & saddened by the destruction of Jasper. In response, dozens of Canadian climate orgs are urging provincial & federal politicians to take action on climate change, starting with reducing emissions from the fossil fuel industry. ow.ly/rwEv50SPFFa
