Chief Augustine says the jacket is adorned with a medal presented to him for the Order of Canada, along with the King Charles III Coronation Medal, the Queen Elizabeth Platinum Jubilee Medal and also features a rich representation of his family's story.

Good to hear PM Carney say positive things on #climate, but "meeting Paris targets" really doesn't mean anything.
What we need is a specific commitment for Canada to clarify it's 2030/35 targets, and go (way) further to meet our fair share toward those Paris targets.

A major win for the planet, and for the Greens. Elizabeth May just secured a historic on-the-record promise from PM Mark Carney: Canada will meet our Paris climate targets and our Kunming–Montreal biodiversity goals. We’re not here for talk, we’re here for results.

For years, people argued that there's no point in taking climate action unless China is onboard. I'm at a COP30 event where Chinese government officials and renewable industry reps are outlining the fast-paced renewable energy transition and long-term carbon neutrality plan. The story has flipped.
