Big Oil is determined to produce as much oil as possible even as they burn the planet around us. The Liberal government must stop providing subsidies and licenses for expansion. Big Oil are not good corporate actors. reuters.com/sustainability…

Some lessons to be gleaned here for Canada too: "Progressives can make inroads with working-class voters... by running more working-class candidates, running jobs-focused campaigns, and picking a fight with political and economic elites." jacobin.com/2023/06/trumps…

New analysis of two carbon capture and storage projects in Norway, often touted as success stories, finds that both have troubled histories, and should not be used as models for future #CCS projects

Lots of talk on social housing after Albo’s announcement Bottom line. If you look at where *the best* housing is being built globally - Vienna, Zurich, Singapore, Spain, Brussels - they all have aggressive social housing plans. Means private sector has to improve to compete.

#ClimateLitigation will likely become more common as climate science becomes even more certain and the grounds for a legal challenge become clearer. There have been 35 climate-related legal actions in Canada alone & a movement in BC to #SueBigOil cbc.ca/news/climate/c…

🚨Breaking: The federal government just provided a public update about their plan to allow oil companies in the tar sands to release their toxic waste into the Athabasca River - a plan opposed by downstream Indigenous nations. In short: the release option is still on the table.

Contrary to what politicians and pundits are claiming, #FreePalestine isn’t a radical opinion: it’s shared by a vast majority of Canadians.

You won’t hear it in the mainstream media, but there’s a simple reason why Canada aggressively backs Israel: both are violent settler-colonial states whose policies toward Palestinians serve the US empire. We made a @thebreachmedia video to break it down.

From #Alberta: yet another study finds increasing number of law enforcement officers does NOT reduce crime (but does cost $$$) "Public-reported crime and social disorder calls for service showed little-to-no overall reduction during the entire pilot project." Full story:

It's no wonder CTV's coverage of Israel's violence in Gaza is so one-sided. Internal emails show journalists are forbidden from using the term "Palestine," with a senior editor making the charged claim that "Palestine...does not currently exist." breachmedia.ca/ctv-bell-media…

Today, the oil & gas industry invests about 2.5% of its total capital spending in clean energy If oil & gas producers want to play their full part in meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement, our report shows that 50% of their investments should be going to clean energy by 2030

In 2022, Chrystia Freeland said the #CCUS tax credit wouldn't subsidize projects that use carbon for oil production A broken promise: the tax credit will subsidize projects that sell up to **90%** of captured carbon for EOR Great reporting @benshingler cbc.ca/news/climate/c…

For people who’ve followed Israel-Palestine with eyes wide open for the last 25 yrs, this is just head-nodding stuff from Krystal Ball. But for the vast majority of folks traumatized by the horror show in Gaza, this is GAME CHANGING historical context.

It is a dark day in US history when an authoritarian with warrant requests from the International Criminal Court is allowed to address a joint session of Congress. 40k Palestinians are dead. Hostages aren’t home. Netanyahu is a war criminal. I will be boycotting his address.

Only in a petrostate are firefighters forced to prioritize protecting a massive tar sands pipeline from climate fueled wildfires. Shameful. #cdnpoli #JasperWildfire abc.net.au/news/2024-07-2…
