It’s budget day, baby. Here’s what I’ve been up to ⬇️

#Budget2025
pembina.org Pembina Institute @pembina.org · Nov 4
Recalibrating Canada’s economy toward clean sectors that are most likely to grow is essential for jobs, investment, and affordability. #Budget2025 helps set the stage for a resilient, climate-competitive, energy secure Canada.

We are excited to see… 🧵⬇️
A person in a suit holding a microphone, seated against a backdrop with partially visible text about Canada’s clean energy transition. Overlaid text reads: “Recalibrating our economy to align it with the sectors that are growing fastest makes sense. The smart money is on low-carbon industries and technologies.” Below the quote, the name and title appear: Chris Severson-Baker, Executive Director, alongside the Pembina Institute logo.

BREAKING: Israel’s government just approved the first phase of the ceasefire deal and a ceasefire is supposed to go into effect immediately.

Israel killed at least 29 Palestinians today, according to Al Jazeera.
CNN headline: Israeli government approves Gaza ceasefire resolution CNN article screenshot reads: Where things stand • JUST IN: Israel's government has approved the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire and hostage release resolution, according to the prime minister's office. Officials have said the ceasefire will take effect immediately. • US presence: The United States is sending 200 troops to be on the ground to monitor the plan's implementation, a senior US official said. "No US troops are intended to go into Gaza," another official said. Al Jazeera update reads: Four killed al-Sabra attack, bringing day's death toll to 29: Wafa The Palestinian news agency has reported that four people have been killed in the Israeli attack we've been reporting in the Sabra neighbourhood in Gaza City. That brings the day's death toll in Gaza to 29, according to the news agency, despite the ceasefire breakthroughs.

The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network.

This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.

The decision to remove speed cameras from Ontario streets is unbelievably irresponsible and flies in the face of clear evidence … even police chiefs are against this populist move. It’s disgraceful.
Ford government says it will ban speed cameras across Ontario | CBC News
Ontario Premier Doug Ford called the traffic enforcement tool a "cash grab" at a news conference in Vaughan Thursday. He said his government will introduce new legislation to ban speed cameras.

This is so sad and upsetting. It’s chilling to see anti-trans hysteria growing in Canada and across the world.

The Somerset West Community Health Centre will close its supervised consumption site at the end of this month, after being forced to by the Ford government. It didn’t have to be this way.
“We anticipate our closure will place even greater burdens on hospital emergency departments, paramedics, police, and our neighborhoods, further straining an already overwhelmed system and increasing risks for those who rely on harm reduction services.”
