A huge 89% majority of global people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the #ClimateCrisis, but mistakenly believe they’re in a minority.

People want action. Smart cities are taking action. Nations should support city action.

Activate climate’s ‘silent majority’ to supercharge action, experts say
Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed

I am so grateful I live in a province that takes action that backs up their word, vs platitudes that go nowhere.

Thank you premier!
Today, we remember women hurt or killed by cowardly violence and stand with survivors and their loved ones.

As the 16 Days of Activism begins, we recommit to preventing violence, strengthening supports, and doing the work so every woman in our province feels safe.

Great article!

For Canada to realize the full decarbonization potential (and long-term cost savings) of district energy, we can’t wait for old buildings to die. We have to convert existing structures.

Meanwhile in Canada we are yammering about a bitumen pipeline
Most people hear “heat pump” and think of small air-source units at home. But Germany is building one of the world’s largest heat pumps in Mannheim: a 162 MW river-source system using heat from the Rhine.

Big reminder that heat-pumps scale far beyond households — they can decarbonise whole cities.

It’s worth noting that Poilievre’s new campaign manager is a Christian ultranationalist who is responsible for Blaine Higgs (former NB Premier), etc.

He’s literally Project 2025 Canada edition.

…And don’t forget, fascist Russia’s ambitions go far beyond Ukraine - the Kremlin is ACTIVELY attacking and undermining democracies around the world, including Canada. Supporting our ally Ukraine to crush fascist Russia will make us all safer! 🇺🇦🇨🇦
Totally. NATO members + EU states have been WAY too slow to support Ukraine, to see fascist Russia for what it is, and to appreciate the scale of the threat. Even now, many in Canada and Europe don’t understand that Ukraine is defending the wider democratic world - the Kremlin is at war with us too!

The existence of an effective HPV vaccine should have meant cervical cancer was stamped out. Instead, it’s the fastest growing cancer in Canada

PM Carney never abandoned our climate plans, he added to them.
He and the team are also positioning Canada to become a supplier of the critical minerals and tech our allies want.
They want to invest in and buy from Canada.
Build the supply chain and then build more clean energy.
0 Chinese imports.

“A government does not reach for the notwithstanding clause four times in a month unless something is deeply wrong. This isn’t normal. It isn’t safe. And it isn’t democracy. Each time rights are pushed aside, a warning siren is blaring: Power is being placed above people.”

European political scientists are blue in the face from constantly pointing out that accommodating the far right does not help centre-left parties win, and contributes to the rise of far-right parties. There's a mountain of data to support that.

But no, the galaxy-brained strategists must be right.
