Great to catch up with former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien to give him a copy of my book. #RunLikeAGirl. He has been a great mentor. He gave me the best political advice that I would turn to when I had a really tough decision to make: “Canadians are reasonable. Be reasonable.” Truth!

Ten years ago, 🇨🇦 showed up at #COP21 to help land an ambitious Paris Agreement: The PM, Premiers, opposition members, Indigenous leaders, environmentalists, business leaders & youth.
We need that same spirit now to do the work at home - it’s about tackling climate change & winning the future.

Really sad to see @catabreu.bsky.social & @simondonner.bsky.social quit Canada’s Net Zero Advisory Body. Cat and Simon are globally respected climate leaders. More than ever, Canadians need experts giving independent advice about how Canada can achieve its goal of net zero emissions.
Ignored since the federal election, an arms-length expert body set up to advise the federal government on the energy transition is collapsing.

Two prominent members of the Net-Zero Advisory Body, including its chair, have resigned this week, citing a lack of influence over a government that’s increasingly pulling back on climate action.

So brutal. Danielle Smith & the oilsands’ goal is increasing production, pollution, and the cost Canadians pay for climate change - while delaying the energy transition. The opposite of winning the future.
Just one week after signing an MOU with the federal govt agreeing to strengthen industrial carbon pricing, Alberta has changed its regulations, making the agreement harder to achieve.
