There's a lot going on in this screenshot: A Canadian Gas Association front group (Voice for Energy) is advertising (in French) on US news website, above article on how electrification is undermining political power of oil and gas (with quote from Gerald Butts as ultimate insider #cdnpoli content)

Keith Stewart @climatekeith.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

And the irony of an oil and gas lobby group claiming that AI will help PREDICT wildfires is... next level.

020

Keith Stewart @climatekeith.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

You know the AI-boosting O&G bros are nervous when Energy United, a fossil fuel front group set up by former CAPP President Tim McMillan, comes to the defence of AI data centres. I'd love to see the evidence for the claim that in Canada, cold air provides "nearly all the actual cooling they need."

Oil Sands Alliance members, who are crying poor when asked to reduce the GHG pollution that drives wildfires, heatwaves and extreme weather, made over $13 billion in profits in the second quarter of 2026, 2.5x more than they made in the same three months in 2025.

This G&M editorial (fairly) berates Ford govt for not doing enough to prepare for & prevent wildfire damage. Yet no mention of why "fires become more frequent & widespread" or how to prevent that (or how their unalloyed oil boosterism contributes to problem) www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit...

Keith Stewart @climatekeith.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

U.S. senator Bernie Moreno is sponsoring legislation that would impose draconian sanctions on the Canadian government & senior officials as punishment for wildfire smoke wafting across border. It's as ridiculous as it is worrying (re state of US democracy) www.moreno.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

Of course, when the negotiations began on this ‘grand bargain’ of a the feds approving a new (privately-funded) pipeline in exchange for oil companies capturing and storing some of the oil sands pollution, the oil companies were promising to reduce emissions by 22 MT by 2030 and zero by 2050.

Original goal was 22 MT by 2030 web.archive.org/web/20230316...

242

Keith Stewart @climatekeith.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

And let's not forget that the original plan was 22 MT by 2030 (now 6 MT by 20235). web.archive.org/web/20230316...

010

Keith Stewart @climatekeith.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

But what is the baseline for these reductions? Is it current emissions corporate-wide? Current emissions from oil sands-only? Reduction from BAU growth estimate? The 6 MT that is firmly committed to (rest is aspirational) is only 7% of current oil sands GHG (92 MT)

Canadians are intimately familiar with this trick: remember the millions of dollars of ads touting how carbon capture and storage (CCS) would make oil sands "net-zero"?

Keith Stewart @climatekeith.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

If you’ve been following the Canadian ‘new oil sands pipeline in exchange for carbon capture’ Grand Bargain drama, this chart from a new @propublica.org report on how the fossil fuel industry turned the plan to solve climate change into a plan to save itself is a powerful reality check

Oil companies knew, and oil companies lied: "carbon majors were aware by the 1980s of prospective impacts of fossil fuels on corals from ocean acidification, marine heatwaves, sea-level rise & intensified storms & later funded efforts downplaying such impacts." www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Hmm... Carney is referring a grid investment strategy to the Major Projects Office, rather than building an east-west grid directly:

Keith Stewart @climatekeith.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

Example: Suncor in 2024. Summary says $979.57M in Total Payment Value by Payee, but the consolidated report (link in bottom right of summary page) shows over $3B to GoA alone, plus $1.25B to GoC in Total Amount Paid to Payee column. Make it make sense...

My reaction to Carney's Sovereign Wealth Fund announcement: rather than using existing tax dollars & individuals' savings to subsidize fossil fuel mega-projects, tax oil & gas excess profits to invest in energy from wind & sun (can't get stuck in Strait of Hormuz) www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Keith Stewart @climatekeith.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

There's no talk of diversifying where Europe gets its fossil fuels from - the focus is on how to "break the cycle of fossil fuel dependency once and for all" which is not just good for climate, but "a socioeconomic, competitiveness and security imperative."

Oil sands hit an all-time high of 92 MT (more than Quebec and New Brunswick combined, or BC + MB +NS)

Keith Stewart @climatekeith.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

Electricity was the golden child, but progress there has stalled and emissions could rise rapidly thanks to gas-fired AI data centres (Alberta AI centres are exempted from Clean Electricity Regulation under the fed-AB pipeline MOU)

122

Keith Stewart @climatekeith.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

Oil and gas emissions are rising again, after a fall triggered by the federal methane regulation (a new methane regulation is being negotiated to re-start the reductions, but AB is trying to pull a fast one)

Keith Stewart @climatekeith.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

Nerd alert: Canada's GHG Inventory for 2024 just released. It shows that progress has stalled (emissions down 0.3% from 2023 levels). www.canada.ca/en/environme...

Keith Stewart @climatekeith.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

Hodgson's "leaps forward" in environmental performance of upstream oil and gas (largest single source of climate-harming pollution in Canada) look a lot more like stumbles (date from Environment Canada's most recent GHG Inventory)
