Captured from today’s snowfall in Calgary. Who needs a diamond when Mother Nature gives you millions upon millions ❄️💎

Mark Carney has confirmed he’d drop Canada’s consumer carbon tax, calling it ‘too divisive’.

Regardless of who wins the election, with the tax effectively gone, climate action must now lean more on ‘flexible regulations’- such as low carbon fuel standards, clean energy rebates and more.

Florida has had 4X more snow than Calgary, Canada, in 2025.

People are asking relentlessly on social media, 'Where's climate change with all this snow?'

The number of times myself and others have had to respond ‘climate change = extreme weather events’ is exhausting.

Will this ever sink in?

Trump withdrew the US from the Paris Accord 8 years ago and then Biden signed back on.

Another 4 years of backwards progress is terrifying for climate change. But nothing lasts forever- even the Trump Admin. 4 years and things may turn around once more. That thought alone is worth holding onto.

Happy weekend everyone and stay warm during the incoming polar vortex!

Taken during last year’s vortex when temps in Alberta reached -40 degrees C (and F!) which is also the freezing point of boiling water 🥶

Congrats to Mark Carney on officially joining the Liberal Party of Canada’s leadership race!

There is suddenly a new spark of optimism and certainly many sparks of interest in the air in Canada.

For 20 years Carrie Underwood has sung about rising above cheating, despicable men, and now she’s performing at one’s Inauguration.

Lost all respect.

It’s a stunner of a day in Calgary for a long run! Hit 15k today and thinking of signing up for a half marathon for the first time since my 20s.

Would love to hear how everyone plans to move their body in 2025!

Canadians living in Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and all four Atlantic provinces- the federal Carbon Tax Rebate comes to your bank account today! (other provinces have their own rebate systems).

What's everyone doing on the 20th to avoid the inauguration? I will either be in the mountains or energetically counting every thread on my carpet. Either way a better outcome.
