Extreme weather can wreak unbelievable havoc.
Nobody knows this better than those forced to flee.
#COP30 must deliver solutions for those hardest hit.

At #COP30, words aren’t enough.

We need urgent, inclusive action to break the cycle of displacement.

Displaced and host communities can lead climate resilience—if we invest in them.

Despite being hardest hit, displaced people are left out of most national climate plans.

UNHCR urges real action:
✔️ Include refugees in climate decisions
✔️ Fund resilience where it’s needed most
✔️ Bridge the climate finance gap

🚨 Extreme weather is colliding with conflict—forcing people to flee again and again.

A new @unhcr.org report reveals how floods, droughts, and deadly heat are undermining recovery, increasing humanitarian needs and amplifying the risks of repeated displacement. #COP30

Harper Conservatives are "letting employers keep their TFWs for longer and blocking paths to citizenship that could eliminate the underclass of exploitable guest workers that has been distorting the Canadian labour market. It’s shameful.”

"The study by the conservative-leaning @CDHoweInstitute concludes that changes to the TFW program in the past decade contributed to a rise in unemployment, particularly for workers...qualified for low-skill jobs in the service industry."

Immigrants didn't price fix your bread. Galon Weston did.

Immigrants didn't raise your rents. Corporate landlords did.

Immigrants don't charge you an extra 30% on each purchase. Jeff Bezos did.

They want you looking left & right so you don't look up.

LOOK. UP.

Israel continues to bomb Gaza and deny the entry of aid in a blatant violation of the ceasefire deal.

Canada must hold Israel to account. Email and call your MP today to demand sanctions and a FULL arms embargo.

That’s why we are fighting for #HomesForAll — and demanding the government invest in housing solutions that work for us.

Now would be a good time to ask ourselves if we’re okay with this. We need to get objective about our new PM and put on our critical thinking caps. Because are we really okay with this? I’m sure not, the CUPE is not, neither.

Pre-election Mark Carney might want to have a word with post-election @mark-carney.bsky.social.

How are liberal voters okay with this?

This is an astonishing reversal, with impacts on the quality of life for Canadians that will be generational & which promotes the growth of fascist movements. 🧵1/
