The National Post article claims there is an outrageous new bill to jail ordinary citizens who speak up for oil and gas. Wild story. But not true. Bill #C372 is limited to corporate campaigns making false claims about the "benefits" of burning fossil fuels as the planet burns.
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!
.Justin Trudeau Chrystia Freeland, how are we supposed to reach climate goals if our financial system is pouring billions into #FossilFuels? It's time to #TakeCashOutOfCarbon. Tell the federal government to regulate banks👇 Greenpeace Canada act.gp/3unTAm6
Amazing how, in a record #drought and #wildfire year, Suncor's $900 million tax benefit just about covers the $1 billion it paid out in dividends and share repurchases. The #ClimateEmergency is being funded by #taxpayers. Steven Guilbeault Ryan Jespersen newsfilecorp.com/release/198800…
And BC Translink too. Same ad style. Charlie Angus
Before the vaccine was developed in 1973, 2.6 million children and pregnant women died of #measles every year. Last year, 136,000 children and pregnant women died of measles. No one gives a toss about the ill-informed opinions of death-denying trolls. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
One of my favourite things about Christine Boyle is that she is principled. Members in Little Mountain would be lucky to have someone of her caliber as their candidate in the next election.
Power and influence in the fossil fuel industry today place sharp limits on our democracy. corporatemapping.ca @siobhwithafada.bsky.social
