By shifting the focus of federal reviews from "whether" to built infrastructure & energy projects including climate-harming fossil fuel projects, to "how to best advance them", Bill C-5 risks projects proceeding without prior health and environmental assessments. @cpche.ca @cpha-acsp.bsky.social
📢 Our ad hit newsstands today! Environmental groups representing over 1 million people across Canada are calling @PrimeMinisterOfCanada to #FixBillC5. Bill C-5 weakens environmental protections, sidelines Indigenous rights, and could fast-track polluting projects. We need a climate-safe Canada

Parts of NW Ont. are facing 2 climate-related health risks today - #ExtremeHeat & wildfire smoke. When indoor settings lack mechanical cooling it's challenging to follow public health advice - "When there is an extreme heat event occurring with poor air quality, prioritize keeping cool" @cpche.ca
