The #fossilfuel industry reaped huge profits while ripping off Canadians and wrecking the environment. It's time to #MakeThemPay with a #WindfallTax in #Budget2024 ! #cdnpoli #greengoals #taxbigoil

This is an appalling stat, and a stain on the nation.

Japan is reducing carbon emissions rapidly. Why can't Canada do the same? Oh, I forgot. Conservative leaders (Smith, Moe, Poilievre) who actively promote climate disinformation/greenwashing & sadly, the NDP who increasingly support them. #ClimateActionNow

The Alberta UCP says it won't interfere with academic freedom but ...
'Pointing to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, the premier said she’s worried Ottawa is funding ideologically driven research projects.' 😬 #HigherEd

It better include something about noodly appendages. Just sayin'

Lame. And It's really time that the NDP came out with a serious climate plan.

Scott Forbes🌎🔥 Déjà vu. The NDP did the same thing in 2008, setting us back a decade on climate. ctvnews.ca/dion-introduce…

The federal NDP is considering this guy as a candidate in Elmwood-Transcona? I believe the phrase you are looking for is 'loose cannon.' #mbpoli

Subsidizing fossil fuel companies to build what will become stranded assets is, in 2024, fiscal insanity.

By siding with Poilievre, the NDP at both the federal AND provincial level are losing any credibility they had on climate change. This WILL cost them at the ballot box especially with younger voters. #cdnpoli #ClimateActionNow

Jane Goodall has long been an iconic figure for conservation and the fight against climate change. In celebration of her 90th birthday, scientists Shelby Riskin (University of Toronto EEB) David Pearson & Gerard Courtin (@laurentianu) discuss Goodall's legacy of hope. tvo.org/video/jane-goo…

Shaun Loney I sure haven’t seen any robust measures that would prove Manitoba has a credible plan that doesn’t include pricing pollution. If anything we’ve gone backwards by incentivizing gasoline consumption.

My comments on the NDP carbon tax position in today’s Free Press. winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/analys…

A windfall profit tax on the fossil fuel industry would generate billions in revenue that could help finance climate solutions, protect nature and make life affordable. The budget comes out next week! Sign the petition to call for a windfall profit tax: ow.ly/2HJB50RbNnL

Doug Cuthand: “Future generations will look at the carbon tax opposition and ask, “what were they thinking? Why did they protest one of the most cost-effective methods of lowering carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?” thestarphoenix.com/opinion/column…

With or without the gas tax cut, Manitoba has the cheapest gas in the country & our per capita gas consumption is way above average. Are there better ways to spend a quarter billion dollars than a gas tax cut built to benefit F150 Raptor drivers? #mbpoli

I was lucky enough to live on the waterfront in North Van in the 60's. Since then the sea level has risen 6': also lived in Richmond that at high tide can be below sea level. Climate change will make much of the Fraser delta unliveable. #ClimateActionNow

“Fossil fuel pollution is warming natural systems like wetlands and permafrost. Those ecosystems are releasing even more greenhouse gases as they heat up. We’re caught between a rock and a charred place.” #ClimateActionNow

Is the Saskatchewan River about to become Canada's version of the Colorado that no longer flows to the sea? Hard to run a turbine on Manitoba dams without water. The Grand Rapids Generating Station is directly affected; more on Nelson River. #ClimateChange
