IEA’s EV Outlook 2024 should be 5-alarm crisis for Canadian CEOs, policymakers

Oil-dependent economies like Canada's should be frantically pivoting to new energy biz models.

Horrific heat wave all across Asia. Lethal conditions caused by oil, gas and coal. We have to choose: we can continue building new fossil fuel projects and watch as millions suffer and die. Or we can stop, actually begin a just transition, and build a safer world.

Since 2000, #CCS projects in Canada have permanently stored only 7 MT of carbon.

Most people aren't paying attention but we are waging a massive war on ocean life, killing off entire habitats & species at a dizzying pace. The scale of the damage we're doing to the other life on this planet is honestly too much to fit in your heart.

Feeling sad today as #TMX comes on stream. My son Aaron will turn 10 yrs old soon & we have been dragging him to TMX protests his whole life!

After one of those protests, when he was 16 months, my wife Christine Boyle wondered if any of it sunk in...

This is a classic example of the failure of metrics. 112 units/acre sounds like a soul-sucking slum. This building is uplifting, and should be legal everywhere. It's a good neighbor.

BIG UPDATE: today CBS released a special segment about our group. Our hard-hitting activism is running on television in living rooms around the country. Politicians are quaking. Media moguls are taking notice. CEOs are hiding. We will not stop. We will not back down. Get ready.

I'm curious what percentage of folks whose prime concern is parking have driveways? And garages? And driveways AND garages? Is your garage full of cars or are you primarily using it for storage? Because you own your garage and you own your driveway but you don't own the street
