An oil&gas company called MAGA (Make Alberta Great Again) isn't paying its bills to landowners?! And those landowners aren't even allowed to refuse wells on their properties? Seems like satire, but it's all too real.

We’re glad to see #methane mentioned in the #federalbudget —but actions speak louder than words. Canada needs clear targets and timelines to drive these emissions down and give our kids a chance at a livable future. Cut it now - for our kids, our air, our future.

We need real climate protection and actions that support Indigenous self-determination, not more government-sponsored and bank-funded resource extraction. Tell Carney and the Big 5 Banks to stop their dirty financing!

Rent is high. Groceries are impossible. But instead of taxing billionaires, the govt is pushing Bill C-12 to deport workers.

Syed Hussan explains how migrant blaming is a strategy to distract us.

Cutting methane is one of the fastest ways to cool the planet.

@liberalca.bsky.social @juliedabrusin.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social — PLZ pass the federal #methane regs now

Nearly 90% of methane leaks detected from space are still being ignored.
Methane lasts only a short time in the atmosphere – but while it’s there, it traps 80× more heat than CO₂.

Cutting it is the fastest way to slow warming now.

Check out methane imaging from Alberta and Saskatchewan oil and gas sites. This is the tip of the iceberg. Imagine how the “Industrial Heartland” would light up in comparison 🤯
