Great worldresources.bsky.social panel discussion focused on Climate Diplomacy in a Messy World. My main points: We need coalitions of the willing across the board, diplomacy requires leaders to *lead*; climate crisis is worse, solutions are better & hard things are so do the work! #ClimateWeekNYC

Totally agree with @theglobeandmail.com’s Marcus Gee: Where’s the common sense in Doug Ford’s decision to spend tens of millions of dollars ripping out Toronto’s bike lanes???? www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/toron...

We need to get smarter in Canada about linking affordability and climate action. Make EVs, heat pumps and solar more accessible and reduce Canadians reliance on expensive oil and gas to power their cars and heat & cool their homes. Save Cdns money, tackle climate, foster choice, promote innovation!

“While the decision to tough it out is iconically Canadian, Mr. Carney’s gesture will resonate far beyond Canada’s border. A gray banker, and not just any banker, but one of the leading bankers in the world, has stood up and said that there’s more to life than a little bit of money.”

I’m all for saving money. But this all comes from the wrong place: deferring infrastructure investments is a quick way to kick the can down the road. In 20 years these politicians won’t be here but you’re failing pipes. Roads and community centres will be. And that’s when the bills will be due 1/

Andrew Leach nailing PP's war on carbon pricing:

"That (idea) that the Conservatives are fighting for the working class on this: I mean, you're not," says Andrew Leach, a professor of law and economics, and the co-director of the Institute for Public Economics at the University of Alberta.

"You're fighting for the people who have a material benefit from the removal of carbon pricing, which are people above that 70 per cent or 80 per cent income line. For the middle, it's a rounding error. To the bottom, (removing the carbon tax) is a big loss.

"And they're getting away with saying we're doing this for the poor. And it's insanity."

Behold, a steaming pile of self-serving dung from a recent Globe and Mail op-ed by two business leaders. Reality: the province is suffocating clean energy, no business has “stepped up” to build or fill the pipeline, and oil companies are minting massive profits for themselves, not the federation.

The 6 largest oil companies will collectively rake in $45B in profits in the second quarter of 2026 — nearly double what they made in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Canada, France, and Spain are battling record-breaking wildfires spurred by the climate crisis. Big Oil profits while the world burns.

“Today, trucks will roll, cars will cross, and governments will begin collecting tolls. But the bridge will remain a monument to a broken bond that may take decades to fix—and may never be fully repaired.” Well worth reading @davidmoscrop.com’s excellent piece.

I've been reporting on federal politics since 2008. My entire career I've listened to politicians talk about using carbon capture to cut industrial emissions. Carbon capture removed 68 million tonnes over a 24-year period. The oilsands added much more, 92 million tonnes, over a single year, 2024.
