1/ Last May PM Carney announced plans to bulldoze through major projects despite harms to nature & wildlife. The public pushback was huge. In response the feds said they will not move ahead with proposal to authorize projects that could impact the recovery of endangered wildlife. Victory? Not yet.

Ahead of the government's caucus retreat & Parliament's return next week, we released new polling. The results? The federal government’s plans to subsidize a new pipeline plan & fast-track mega projects are hurting their popularity. environmentaldefence.ca/2026/09/16/n...

New analysis from the @climateinstitute.bsky.social confirms the damage being done by PM Carney’s dismantling of climate policies. Canada is now more than 20 years behind schedule in achieving its 2030 international climate goal. climateinstitute.ca/news/canada-... /1

From the brilliant folks @Ember: For the first time, every OECD country is generating less electricity from fossil fuels than at its historical peak. Canada is at the bottom (4th last) - ie we're one of the laggards in the OECD in terms of phasing out fossil fuel generation

I teamed up with young Canadians & doctors to take the federal government to court, given that PM Carney has dismantled every significant measure in the Emissions Reduction Plan to the point where it is no longer compliant with the Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act ecojustice.ca/file/demandi...

Think the energy transition isn't happening? Think again: Renewables surged to almost half of global electricity capacity in 2025 And of course, countries with higher renewable capacity have been more insulated from the Iran war market shock www.theglobeandmail.com/business/int...

As April 1st approaches, let’s not be fossil fooled again Maybe PM Carney once thought that a grand bargain with Alberta and the oil industry was possible. It's now obvious he has been hoodwinked by Premier Smith and her handlers in the oil and gas business. www.hilltimes.com/wp-content/u...

All of this was ostensibly to strengthen industrial carbon pricing, but it's actually set to weaken pricing and undermine the entire regime

#Budget2025 backtracks on the longstanding promise to end public financing of fossil fuel projects Instead there's a reference to a 'strategic financing framework' to guide public financing You can bet that will mean more public handouts to oil & gas

Carney acts like having the lowest marginal effective tax rate in the G7 doesn't mean gifts for corporations at the expense of Canadians and the services we rely on #Budget2025
