Across every region and party, nearly 9/10 Canadians want the government to take strong action on toxic ‘forever chemicals’. By following through on its commitment to regulate PFAS, the government has an opportunity to show Canadians that it’s listening and leading on urgent environmental issues.
PFAS are toxic, widespread, and need action. In a @nationalobserver.com op-ed, Ecojustice’s @remy-alexandre.bsky.social explains what Canada can do to curb the PFAS problem under federal law.
The science is clear. Minister @juliedabrusin.bsky.social, the time is now to act 👇

It’s time for Canada to take the win on PFAS regulation
Nearly nine in 10 of Canadians showed support for strong government action to regulate PFAS. Finalizing the listing to regulate PFAS as a class is a must.

“Each incremental increase in temperature comes with devastating losses to the people and places we love. But it is also the case that each incremental increase we prevent saves millions. […] To not continue to do everything we can to avoid that next incremental increase is obscene.”
Is Suzuki right that it's 'too late'? We are in an era of simultaneous wins and losses
All of us who work on climate have long walked a razor’s edge between hope and despair, and the last few months (or years) have made it near impossible to keep one’s balance. But I would put the curre...

This is like the third story put out by the New York Times since Skrmetti rubbing transgender people's faces in it.

Across the political spectrum, Canadians care deeply about regulating toxic PFAS. We’re urging the new Minister of ECCC to take swift action, and show Canadians the new government is serious about the environment:
Canada is on the cusp of regulating #PFAS under environmental law. The new Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, @juliedabrusin.bsky.social, has a chance to lead and finish the job.
Tell Minister Dabrusin: Regulate toxic PFAS now.

Tell the federal government to finish the job on “forever chemicals”
It’s time for Canada to act on toxic “forever chemicals.” PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals,” are toxic, don’t break down, and are building up in our bodies and environment.

On a tough day in Congress, loving this point of light! Messing up farmers is terrible for everyone, and going to court can still unlock solutions. Grateful to our courageous clients.

I've watched all of The Sopranos on multiple occasions because I always notice something new
For example, this time I'm watching it with my girlfriend, and unexpectedly find myself very focused on how willing I might be to go bankrupt in order to give her fabulous layered necklaces like Carmela's 🥹

Canada is warming at 2-4x the global average. Climate inaction is already costing us big.📈
It’s time to future-proof Canada’s economy. We don’t do that by backsliding on climate. We do it by getting big finance behind job-creating climate solutions.

1. Today, the New York Times Editorial Board published a piece titled "Trump's Shameful Campaign Against Transgender Americans."
I criticize the paper's attempt to wash away the paper's own culpability in ushering in an era of eradication-based policies.

With Trump's assault on trans existence, freedom and rights, it's critical for Canada to step up on the global stage to support trans refugees, ensure safety for trans folks traveling through America, etc.
