(3/3) Also see our previous post: "Wind Energy and Tariffs – Sierra Club Canada and Sierra Club U.S. Meet in Montréal (February 12, 2025)" www.sierraclub.ca/wind-energy-...

"Canadian wind turbines, made with Canadian steel and aluminium, should power Canadian data centres."

(2/2) Which ironically makes Weyland less fictionally damaging in the end to humanity than Musk in reality?

"Musk described the Optimus robots, which have not gone into mass production, as the future of the company and of humanity."

(9/9) If you want to see what happens when leaders fail to confront corporate disinformation then just look south: www.americanprogress.org/article/thes...

(8/n) Decades of lies and purposeful manipulation on the issue of the #ClimateChange - which has led to untold suffering both here and internationally - should be evidence enough for you.

You want oil and gas projects to be judged on their merit? For that to happen the truth must be paramount.

(7/n) ...Canada isn't special to them and the idea that 'they'd never do that to a western country' is false.

I'm writing this as an appeal to reason and evidence to yourself and all leaders in #Canada. I'm writing this in good faith to warn you oil and gas corporations do not act in good faith.

(6/n) And I know the oil and gas lobbyists dress well, and seem friendly. They seemed that way to lots of country's leaders before they undermined local democracies and freedoms, all while telling the people they were acting in the best interests of their country.

(5/n) ...or doesn't meet climate targets but corporations can just lie about it being green?

If you want to protect Canada you have to tackle disinformation. That means being willing to stand up to those who spread it, even if they're rich.

(4/n) In fact it's the opposite: Without truthful comms from corporations how are we actually going to tell what a good investment is in terms of a project or not? And what's going to happen if government determines a project does not make business sense...

(3/n) The #GreenwashingRegulations are popular with Canadians, Canada’s energy and climate disinformation problem has gotten a lot better since they came into place (helping to insulate us from the chaos in the U.S.), and the regulations don’t make us less competitive.

(2/n) If an alligator tries to bite your hand and you proceed to put your hand back in reach of the alligator what happens next is not the alligator's fault - it's yours.

And even in terms of bargains, weakening greenwashing regulations was an un-strategic and frankly bizarre thing to cave on....

We've responded already. I'd also note one of the weirder & also concerning concessions was on greenwashing regs. Weird because they are popular and literally ensure we know if companies are telling the truth about projects, which is key if you want to build: www.sierraclub.ca/the-emission...

#Budget2025 has left many wondering about the future of the emissions cap.

“People want clear regulations on big polluters,” says Conor Cutis (@conorcurtis.bsky.social). Public polling shows strong support for a cap if well implemented.
