Two months ago, many of you helped start a new campaign dedicated to stopping the dangerous slide toward a Conservative supermajority. Now the hard work comes! We need Carney to pick the path Canadians voted for: robust democracy & climate action. Please use your voice! #carneypickapath

In late 2022 we curated a night of music with the ROM. One of the artists we co-presented was @aysanabee.bsky.social who was still relatively unknown. How much has changed in 2.5 years. On his first headline tour and killing it! #nomusiconadeadplanet

Today, we launched the All of Us are Fed Up storytelling page. Read extremely moving stories of Canadians confronting multiple crises. Thank you to everyone who took part. Now, with an election around the corner, it's time for federal leaders to hear our voices and act. allofustogether.ca/fedup/

Seen the Toronto Star’s front page? That’s why we’re in court. The Ford government wants to tear out Toronto’s busiest bike lanes—ignoring evidence, common sense, and accountability. They know it puts lives at risk but passed a law, anyway, to shield themselves from lawsuits when people get hurt.

Sports and the Arts are the two places that green washing and attempting to buy social license happens the most. Good on @environmentaldefence.ca for this! @jflevin.bsky.social

If rumours are true, Mark Carney & Chrystia Freeland must explain how they will differentiate themselves from other parties' lacklustre climate plans. At this time of unprecedented unnatural disasters, we need more on climate from @liberalca.bsky.social - not less. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Disappointing to see CIBC, TD, BMO and National Bank all flee the Net Zero Banking Alliance even though it was a mediocre climate initiative. When LA is on fire & after the hottest year on record, climate backtracking is really out of touch. #netzero #fires www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

This is important. But let's not ignore the root causes and the need to raise money for the fight against climate change too.

Still early, but latest LA fire cost estimates from Goldman Sachs: $20-$40 billion, with $10-$30 billion of that insured. Comparing to EM-DAT stats, both the Eaton and Palisades fires will likely be among the costliest wildfires in world history (pro tip: NEVER use AccuWeather disaster estimates).

What if we lived in a country that protected us from what really threatens us instead of funding pork-barrel projects and old-school belligerence? The below may not be the exact formula but, like everything else, protection and safety could use reassessment.

The Los Angeles wildfires are at risk of contaminating the city's water supply, with ash, pathogens, toxic chemicals, flame retardants, and even melted pipes able to enter reservoirs and aqueducts. Several communities have advised residents not to drink tap water.
