Offshore winds can blow away Portlands' gas pollution while lowering our bills. Toronto Hydro should work with the prov. and fed. gov'ts to expedite the construction of a Lake Ontario wind farm to supply power by 2030.

So - what was the carbon footprint of last summer's epic 16,000 km cross-Canada EV road trip? And how does it compare to doing the trip with a gas vehicle like a Civic sedan or an F-150 pickup? Finally got to doing the math; some interesting results here: changeyourcorner.com/the-carbon-f...

1/2✍️ This is a decisive moment.

Trade talks with the U.S. are heating up — and American tech giants want a say in Canada’s cultural policy.

We can’t let them dictate what Canadians read, watch, and hear.

Doug Ford hates facts & judges because they interfere with his MAGA style politics.

Sorry, not sorry Ford, the courts are independent for a reason: to stop politicians from violating people's RIGHTS.

Governments that fail to phase out oil, gas and coal to prevent climate harms could be ordered to pay reparations under international law, according to the International Court of Justice.

A few weeks back, New Zealand announced it was giving up its commitment to a managed phaseout of oil, gas and coal.

I took a look at how the conservative government there wants to reboot gas exploration and is all in on planting trees as a climate solution over at @drilledmedia.bsky.social
“Ideological Sludge”: How New Zealand Is Quiet Quitting Climate Action
New Zealand once stood out as a world leader on climate change. In June it became the first country in the world to abandon a commitment to phase out oil, gas and coal.

Yep, you heard that right... Republican lawmakers are complaining that Canada is ruining their summer.

Instead of blaming arson and poor forest management, let's address the elephant in the room: the FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY.
