Oilsands production is already the largest contributor to oil and gas emissions in Canada, increasing +177% since 2005. New oilsands and pipeline projects will push emissions even higher and make the climate crisis worse. 🔗 Read our analysis: buff.ly/MNaZc9p

“privatization doesn’t mean prices will go up,” they told us last week. but of course they will, and they’re starting to have to admit it. the reason why investors are so desperate to get our airports is precisely because they know they’ll be able to make monopoly profits.

1/ We know what happens when public infrastructure gets privatized: costs go up, quality goes down, and it's everyday people who end up paying for it. Mark Carney's Investment Summit might be over, but the fight to protect our public goods isn't.
