This whole thing with trains sent into wildfire areas, and unhoused people stuck outside in dangerous conditions, and the government rolling back our climate action... it's making me so mad. We don't have to do this! We could choose to take care of everyone!

Reminder that Carney has cut funding for Natural Resources Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Indigenous and Northern Affairs, and Indigenous Services. And he has rolled back climate protections, abandoned emissions targets, and is building more pipelines.
Carney:

"The wildfire situation has escalated significantly over the last three weeks across the country, and particularly in Northwestern Ontario. 

Thousands of people have been forced to evacuate their communities, not knowing if their homes will survive.  
 
On behalf of Canadians, I want to thank the brave firefighters, first responders, Indigenous and local leaders who are working tirelessly to keep people safe.
 
Our government is in close contact with provincial, municipal, and Indigenous partners and stands ready to provide any additional support as needed."

There is a direct causal link between the removal of speed cameras on Parkside Drive and a 235% increase in speeding. This isn't neutral: people have lost their lives on Parkside. The Premier's meddling in municipal affairs is literally putting lives at risk.

This Toronto Star column by @sethdklein.bsky.social echoes a call from @avilewis.ca to impose a windfall tax on oil companies. I'm skeptical about how this idea can get through, but we can all agree Carney's move to pause the fuel tax is wrong. #cdnpoli #LPC #CPC #NDP www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Gas tax breaks are bandaids at best. Real solution is to help low & middle-income Cdns get off fossil fuels. Invest in solar, heat pumps, batteries, EVs. Tackle barriers, offer real incentives & fund w/ windfall tax on Big Oil (who are laughing all the way to the bank). Cleaner, cheaper, healthier.
