Why are our communities paying massive climate costs while dirty energy companies pocket the profits? That's bad for taxpayers, public safety and the planet. Communities in BC, Canada are working to Sue Big Oil. www.suebigoil.ca.
Big oil is still selling the idea that carbon capture will earn them a green light to expand production.
Yet carbon capture remains unproven and is decades behind the pace needed to slow climate change. Don’t be fooled. #SueBigOil #MakePollutersPay

PM Carney was asked when he last spoke to Trump: "Who cares. It's a detail. I'll speak to him again when it matters. I don't have a burning issue to speak with the president about right now. When America wants to come back and have the discussions on the trade side we will have those discussions." 👏🏽

Don’t fall for the “Canada’s not as bad” or "we're all peeing in the pool" excuse. Reports show China is finally slowing down growth in its carbon emissions. So can we!

Great explainer video! Among other things, I found out that Canada's existing pipeines could run all the way to the moon and back - and then some!
Why are we hearing about building more pipelines? Do they make sense for Canada's economy? And what about our emissions goals?

We mapped 800,000 kilometres of pipelines in Canada and tried to get to the bottom of these questions in our latest explainer video. #cdnpoli

Big Oil logic: “We’ll stop destroying the planet… right after we finish destroying the planet.” If the feds won’t hold them accountable, our communities can. Make Big Oil pay their fair share.

When oil execs say they’re “just doing their job,” what they really mean is putting profit over people and calling it fiduciary duty. The system rewards destruction and punishes restraint. When greed is policy, accountability is the only fix.

Big Oil’s swagger comes from one thing: a system that lets them win while everyone else pays. They’ve spent decades earning incredible profits while draining the planet. That’s why #climateaccountability matters. Lawsuits are one way we can change the rules that let them get away with it. #SueBigOil

Bahaha. 🧛‍♂️ Here's a Halloween satire about Big Oil CEOs who suck… profits, people, and the planet. But the real villain? A system that rewards them for doing it. Don’t get tricked. It’s time to change the rules and make Big Oil pay.
