All hail electrification. But let’s talk about the hard part

The IEA and climate negotiators want to set a target for shifting the economy to run on electricity. Upfront costs are just one of the obstacles.

"Invasion." "Remigration." They're terms you'd more commonly associate with America's toxic debate around immigration policy than Canada's. But they're starting to pop up here. You can thank Danielle Smith and the UCP for that. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/06/o...

America’s anti-immigration politics are coming to Canada — and Alberta invited them in

The separation question has consumed most of the attention around the province's October 19th referendum. The immigration-related questions also on the ballot might be just as dangerous and divisive.

Cities can reduce emissions by encouraging active transportation...lower speed limits & more crossing lights. Cities can plant shade trees that cool city streets & suck up carbon dioxide... Cities can stop building out & build up instead, to preserve more land for parks and agriculture. t.ly/vDHy8

Climate despair? Take it to the civic election booth

Cities have a lot of power to reduce carbon pollution with policies such as banning gas heating in new homes and buildings.

The question for political leaders and high-speed rail supporters is how to sustain and build on this encouraging start?

Always following the so called will of the people is a great way to not take responsibility for bad decisions. We elect people to make the best decisions for us but in this case we are not following the science. Surprised? No!

I could quote this articles many more times. The direction of many of the current administration is not to "piss off a car and its driver." There are number of wards with no incumbent and others that really need change otherwise we continue down this all top familiar road.

This is a major problem: Canadian media aren't connecting the dots on wildfires and climate change. If we want to get serious about tackling wildfires in a heating world, we need to know a major cause: burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. reclimate.ca/what-canadas...

When wildfires strike, the news focuses on what’s happening now. But Canadians also need to understand why wildfires are getting worse and what can be done to solve it.
