"How I am supposed to show you the beauty of the world, and everything there is left to save, without burdening you with the grief of everything we have already lost." Shrouded in wildfire smoke, @amarapossian.bsky.social writes about how her first summer as a mother is not what she imagined.

On Saturday, Sept. 20, an unusual coalition of climate, migrant, and Indigenous groups are getting together to draw a line. They're pushing back against @mark-carney.bsky.social's hard right turn against Indigenous Peoples and migrants. I spoke to organizers about what the road ahead looks like:

🚫 The Senate is fast-tracking Bill C-5—shortening their review & effectively shutting people out of decisions that affect them. Bill C-5 jeopardizes democratic process, environmental protections, and Indigenous rights. The Senate must send it back to the drawing board. shorturl.at/nXN1u

The Senate is abdicating their vital role as the chamber of sober second thought by shortening the review process. Hearings of Bill C-5 start this week.

At the same time, those of us who want strong climate & social policy & a fairer tax system should be very wary of a sweeping Liberal majority. For an excellent reminder of what that regret could feel like, check out this piece by @amarapossian.bsky.social 👇 www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/09/o...

The Liberal surge is a warning, not a solution
For those of us fighting for climate action, affordable housing and workers’ rights, Mark Carney's lead in the polls is an opportunity and a warning.

Our Canada Team Lead @amarapossian.bsky.social joined us to talk about how we’ve been here before. In 2015, we defeated Harper but without pressure, Trudeau broke key promises (remember electoral reform & TMX?). We need a plan to defeat Pierre AND push Carney to deliver real change in #elxn45 👇

They're not calling it Project 2025, but don't be fooled- the Maple MAGA crowd is pulling their ideas straight from the same playbook: ☑️More oil and gas ☑️Reneging on net-zero commitments ☑️Roll back conservation and environmental protection ☑️Climate denial and delay

🚨 It’s official: the federal election is set for April 28. The stakes could not be higher. Canada is facing a climate crisis, a cost-of-living crisis, and a global trade war driven by Trump. And if Pierre Poilievre wins #elxn45? He'd make every single one of those crises worse. 🧵

Shocking, but not unexpected, given the very close links between Smith and the American far right. What is more concerning is the possibility Smith has been leaking Canadian strategy to her US friends 🧵

@mark-carney.bsky.social's first move as PM was to scrap the carbon tax, a concession to Big Oil and the Conservatives at a time when Canadians want more climate action, not less. So, what’s his plan for a sustainable, affordable future?
