The Ontario government under Doug Ford is a hot mess of corruption and authoritarianism/fascism. #ONpoli #canpoli
Fatima SyedThe Doug Ford gov't got >17,000 responses on its plan to weaken species-at-risk law. Internal analysis shows 98.98% opposed, warning of "negative impacts on Ontario’s biodiversity and ecological integrity." The government moved ahead anyway Exclusive @thenarwhal.ca thenarwhal.ca/ontario-enda...

Joan FauxExcellent review of #CarbonCapture in #Canada by Carl Meyer for The Narwhal In a nutshell: A ridiculous waste of time and money. Better plan: Shift to regenerative strategies including renewable energy #canpoli #CanadaSky 🇨🇦 🍁 @meyer.bsky.social @thenarwhal.ca

Are you frustrated with being choked by #wildfire smoke? Were you horrified seeing evacuations as flames and smoke engulfed that train and communities? It’s time to accept we are part of nature and make decisions that make sense in this context. It’s up to us. Invest in a #FlourishingFuture #onpoli

Can you help me clarify something? Excellent post by @nerdyaboutnature.bsky.social #canpoli #onpoli
Can you help me clarify something?I just wanna make sure I have this straight...open.substack.comFord’s spending millions on the Protect and Strong ads. But people in northern Ontario - many in First Nations communities - are on their own when surrounded by wildfires - no information or help. Ford wants consent for #RingOfFire but abandons them. #DougFordIsWeak #onpoli #OntarioWildfires

There is a rock solid case to not build pipelines, and stop burning fossil fuels if you look at the actual costs. #PipelineWildfireMath #canpoli #onpoli
Katharine HayhoeLet's do some Canadian pipeline-wildfire math. The Canadian Energy Center says growing oil exports by 1.5M barrels/day **could** boost GDP by ~31B annually. Meanwhile, wildfire smoke health costs alone - just the health costs, nothing else - averaged 23B/year, past tense. And they're growing fast.
