Yet another dead killer whale — J31’s baby. J pod is part of the endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales that live in on the west coast. Increasingly busy, noisy, hot waters where it’s hard to hunt dwindling salmon. Choose orcas, not oil. www.kuow.org/climate/2026...

According to a sworn statement to the OPP, Doug Ford was using taxpayer funding as leverage to get media coverage. Taxpayer money isn't Ford's personal bank account. He needs to answer to these serious allegations.

Plus de pétrole, plus de pollution, plus d’extinctions, plus de gaspillage de fonds publics. Voilà ce que signifie un oléoduc « d’intérêt national ».
Graphic titled “More Pipelines, More Problems” over a photo of yellow oil pipelines. Text says Ottawa has designated the West Coast Oil Pipeline a “project of national interest,” putting it on the fast track. The proposed pipeline would move 1 million barrels of oil a day from Alberta to B.C.’s coast.Graphic titled “More Pipelines, More Destruction” over a photo of a wildfire burning through a forest. Text says producing another 1 million barrels of oil a day will add millions of tonnes of pollution every year, causing more extreme heat, longer wildfire seasons, more homes lost to floods and more lives lost.Graphic titled “More Pipelines, More Extinction” over a photo of a Southern Resident killer whale. Text says Ottawa rewrote the rules to override species protections for projects of “national interest.” It says Ottawa is now moving ahead with an oil terminal in the Fraser River Estuary, where 102 species are already at risk of extinction and less than 30% of habitat is left.Graphic reads: “More oil. More extinction. More destruction.” Images show oil pumpjacks and an industrial facility releasing smoke, orcas near an industrial port and a wild canid on a shoreline, followed by scenes of wildfire and flooding.

The Green Party opposed Bill C-5 from the start. Now the Liberals want to remove one of the few limits placed on it. Bill C-5 was meant to sunset after five years, stopping its “national interest” powers from being handed to future governments. Bill C-39 erases that safeguard.

It reads: “The Green Party opposed Bill C-5 from the start.” The graphic says Bill C-5 gave Cabinet extraordinary powers to fast-track projects it calls in the “national interest,” concentrating too much power in government, but that even Bill C-5 came with an expiry date. At the bottom is a green halftone portrait of Mark Carney in front of overlapping clock faces.Green Party graphic on a cream and orange background. Large orange text reads: “Bill C-39 removes that deadline.” It says that if the bill passes, every future government will inherit these powers, including governments with radically different priorities. Highlighted text reads: “Bill C-5 gave government too much power. Extraordinary powers should never come without an expiry date.” A large distressed “EXPIRED DATE” stamp appears across the orange lower half.

Despite Elizabeth May’s relentless fight to stop it, the Liberal government is bulldozing Bill C-30 through, hiding the single largest rollback of pesticide regulations in Canadian history inside it. Today, the Liberal government is selling out Canadians’ health and safety.

“The collapse of the AMOC must be avoided at all costs. Millions of lives are at stake.” Elizabeth May writes about the growing risk of a collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in a new Hill Times article.
A graphic of a Hill Times opinion article by Elizabeth May dated May 6, 2026. The article headline reads, “As climate alarms ring more loudly, the government shuts out the noise,” over an image of ocean wake behind a ship.Quote graphic featuring a portrait of Elizabeth May beside text that reads: “The truth is, Canada remains the worst climate performer in the G7. Oil and gas production is at an all-time high, and our government throws billions of dollars in subsidies to drive up global heating. It is not too late to avoid this global tipping point. But it will surely be too late if we remain in the grip of fossil fuel boosterism.” The graphic identifies Elizabeth May as Leader of the Green Party of Canada.
