Our Impact Partners at @CAPE-ACME participated in a press conference that focused the #INC4 spotlight on the harm plastic pollution poses to human health & justice. Kudos to those raising awareness on this critically important aspect amid #plasticstreaty negotiations.

113 groups signed an open letter in solidarity with the Aamjiwnaang community who are facing benzene pollution. Plastic pollution comes in many forms. We need a global plastics treaty that protects communities. Ecojustice EnvironmentalDefence @CAPE-ACME ow.ly/NNu150RolLy

Happy to have hosted ⁦Sehjal Bhargava, MD⁩ ⁦McGill University⁩ today

Thanks for your wonderful teaching contribution on climate crisis & planetary health

Surreal spend a morning with this incredible group of future physicians!! Thank you Madhu Pai, MD, PhD for inviting me to be a part of your course ☺️ McGill Medicine and Health Sciences McGill Global Health Programs

For decades, big oil has been lying about the benefits of their products, about how much they pollute, and about their plans to pollute less.

Bill #C372 , introduced by Charlie Angus, will ban their lies and the promotion of products that are making us sick

Family physicians in Ontario are largely self-employed - funding their clinics via OHIP billing’s (inadequate!). I’m not sure I understand how Ontario will “hire” 600 Family Physicians. Can you explain what’s going on Ontario Medical Association OCFP Dr. Mekalai Kumanan Ontario Union of Family Physicians

You've hit a nerve Charlie Angus. One can measure the merit & strength of a climate policy by the reaction of the oil and gas companies and their political/media defenders. By that measure, your proposed bill to prohibit fossil fuel advertising is a winner! Good on ya!

Tired of misinformation from Big Oil going unchallenged? Charlie Angus introduced BillC372 to outlaw advertising and promotion by the oil and gas lobby. If France can ban fossil fuel advertising, so can Canada. #cdnpoli ow.ly/hXJb50Qyz0m

The need for an advertising ban is clear and urgent: every year fossil-fuel pollution is directly linked to 34 000 premature deaths in Canada and over 8 million globally.

#Media : Our statement applauding the introduction of the Private Member’s Bill C-372, banning false advertising by the fossil fuel industry in Canada. If passed, the bill will be a valuable step toward limiting misinformation & countering greenwashing
