Tell me again, @rbc, how oil sands companies can’t possibly hope to be able to afford to reduce GHG emissions without taxpayer subsidies. Where oh where would they find the cash?

"Millions in this heavily populated region lack access to air conditioning, and could suffer from heat-related illnesses, which can be deadly." Devastating. We stand in solidarity with all the people who will be impacted by the #heatdome in South Asia. axios.com/dangerous-heat…

Like Max, I live in Alberta. Unlike Max, I talk to strangers about a Just Transition on a regular basis— enough to know that you will get the same blank stares from 73% of people whether you call it a 'just transition' or a 'fair transition' or a... x.com/maxfawcett/sta…

Big Oil has no intention of paying a dime of their own money for #CCUS - which they only care about as a a delay tactic for energy transition planning Cenovus tripled its dividend & quarterly revenue was $16 billion It's time to #MakePollutersPay & #StopFundingFossils

So, who is going to pay to finish this wildly over-budget pipeline that insurers are running away from now that the feds are cutting off $$? And while you're at it, Jonathan Wilkinson 🇨🇦 & Steven Guilbeault, I'm still wondering how this is going to "pay for the transition"?

"At this late hour in the climate emergency, with the International Energy Agency and IPCC telling us our global carbon budget cannot abide any new fossil fuel projects, our government’s Bay du Nord decision amounts to an act of arson." via Seth Klein nationalobserver.com/2022/05/05/opi…

In #ENVI today Finance Canada called the new #CCUS tax credit a fossil fuel subsidy Last week, Jonathan Wilkinson 🇨🇦 said it's not a subsidy This is why Canada must start using international definitions. All money that goes to oil & gas companies IS a fossil fuel subsidy

A new $10 billion loan guarantee for #TMX was just approved by Chrystia Freeland & Mary Ng Loan guarantees put our taxpayer dollars on the line This is a giant new fossil fuel subsidy from the government that promised to eliminate subsidies politico.com/news/2022/05/1…

The federal government’s decision to approve a $10-billion loan guarantee for Trans Mountain isn’t surprising, but Finance Canada's refusal to be transparent about TMX is a huge scandal. A🧵on Chrystia Freeland’s claims, #TMX, and the “culture of secrecy” around it

This is a good look at the deep ties between the BC NDP and lobbyists for fracking, fish farming and logging corporations. Important context as the “our government is working for people” line is repeated constantly in this fall’s campaign. thetyee.ca/Analysis/2022/… #bcpoli BC NDP

Puerto Rico. The Dominican. Bermuda. Atlantic Canada. Hurricane Fiona is another reminder that no one is safe from climate chaos. We can still avoid a future of ever-worsening storms, but we need to move past fossil fuels fast. Time to get loud about it. cnn.com/2022/09/22/wea…

I wrote something about climate impacts, becoming a paramedic and the need for movements to start thinking about how we prepare communities to respond to climate disasters. wagingnonviolence.org/2022/09/the-cl…

Text FIONA to 778-765-1171 and tell the Government of Canada to hold oil companies accountable for climate disasters like #HurricaneFiona. Because around here, we look after each other.

New analysis shows taxpayers will end up on the hook for the TMX boondoggle and Chrystia Freeland and Finance Canada are still trying to mislead the public about it. A massive scandal is brewing here and the gov can't answer basic questions. via Natasha Bulowski nationalobserver.com/2022/10/06/new…

Amazing! Alberta oil sands unions are calling on the fed gvt to dramatically increase just transition funding. 🙏 Alberta Federation of Labour Oilsands workers tell Justin Trudeau they need billions more to transition away from fossil fuel-based jobs thestar.com/politics/feder… via @torontostar

Quite an interesting health care policy announcement from Anjali Appadurai today. Includes: - Immediate 25% raise for RNs to stabilize staffing. - Turning UPCCs into Community Health Centres with doctors, teams and better hours. - Free counselling services across BC

If tonight marks the end of the Anjali Appadurai campaign, I'd caution any New Democrat hyper-partisans from gloating about it. It should be deeply, deeply embarrassing to the NDP that Appadurai out-organized the entire caucus and cabinet, who'd endorsed Eby, in membership signups.
