All nations committed under the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5 degC for good reason. Instead many governments are beholden to the fossil fuel lobby and even subsidize fossil fuel use with your money. We’re now at 1.4 degC & emissions are rising not falling.

I know I have said it a few times before, but it's important.
Local elections matter at a global level. When world leaders have abandoned us to serve corporate masters, those who are leading from the trenches become our last line of global defense.

“Globally, despite extreme heat, floods and devastating wildfires, populist leaders, some sceptical but others in outright denial about the science, are talking up the costs of action rather than the consequences of inaction.”

Ford has no business interfering in cities. He has zero idea or understanding of transportation or land use policy, nor the policy levers it takes to make cities work.
If u care about better cities for people in Ontario Canada, please pay attention to what Premier Ford is doing. Not only would his new bill block cities from building bike-lanes if they touch car lanes, he’s talking about imposing his own street standards & standardized official plans in EVERY city.

Just in case you weren’t sure how awful Doug ford is. The courts ruled against him based on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms because PEOPLE WILL DIE IF HE REMOVES SAFE BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE. So he’s considering ABUSING the Notwithstanding Clause just for ego and some cheap suburban votes.

Ontario keeps getting governments that most voters did not choose.
When a party can turn forty percent support into almost total control, the real issue is the system itself.
Proportional representation would give every voter equal power and end fake majorities.
