I've read countless articles and books about how to technologically solve climate change on a global scale, but little that grapples with how to build the mass "political will" everyone keeps calling for. So, I tried to come up with a theory for it - wagingnonviolence.org/2019/0…

If tonight marks the end of the @AnjaliApp campaign, I'd caution any New Democrat hyper-partisans from gloating about it.
It should be deeply, deeply embarrassing to the NDP that Appadurai out-organized the entire caucus and cabinet, who'd endorsed Eby, in membership signups.

Quite an interesting health care policy announcement from @AnjaliApp today.
Includes:
- Immediate 25% raise for RNs to stabilize staffing.
- Turning UPCCs into Community Health Centres with doctors, teams and better hours.
- Free counselling services across BC

Amazing! Alberta oil sands unions are calling on the fed gvt to dramatically increase just transition funding. 🙏 @ABFedLabour
Oilsands workers tell Justin Trudeau they need billions more to transition away from fossil fuel-based jobs thestar.com/politics/federal… via @torontostar

New analysis shows taxpayers will end up on the hook for the TMX boondoggle and @cafreeland and @FinanceCanada are still trying to mislead the public about it. A massive scandal is brewing here and the gov can't answer basic questions. via @NBulowski

Text FIONA to 778-765-1171 and tell the Government of Canada to hold oil companies accountable for climate disasters like #HurricaneFiona.
Because around here, we look after each other.
Text FIONA to 20222 and donate $10 to @redcrosscanada to help those affected by #HurricaneFiona.
Because around here, we look after each other.

Puerto Rico. The Dominican. Bermuda. Atlantic Canada. Hurricane Fiona is another reminder that no one is safe from climate chaos.
We can still avoid a future of ever-worsening storms, but we need to move past fossil fuels fast. Time to get loud about it.

I wrote something about climate impacts, becoming a paramedic and the need for movements to start thinking about how we prepare communities to respond to climate disasters.

This is a good look at the deep ties between the BC NDP and lobbyists for fracking, fish farming and logging corporations.
Important context as the “our government is working for people” line is repeated constantly in this fall’s campaign.

The federal government’s decision to approve a $10-billion loan guarantee for Trans Mountain isn’t surprising, but @FinanceCanada's refusal to be transparent about TMX is a huge scandal. A🧵on @cafreeland’s claims, #TMX, and the “culture of secrecy” around it
Cam Fenton retweeted
A new $10 billion loan guarantee for #TMX was just approved by @cafreeland & @mary_ng
Loan guarantees put our taxpayer dollars on the line
This is a giant new fossil fuel subsidy from the government that promised to eliminate subsidies

In #ENVI today Finance Canada called the new #CCUS tax credit a fossil fuel subsidy
Last week, @JonathanWNV said it's not a subsidy
This is why Canada must start using international definitions.
All money that goes to oil & gas companies IS a fossil fuel subsidy
#ENVI is meeting today at 11:00 a.m. ET. To watch the proceedings regarding Fossil Fuel Subsidies: ow.ly/6vAV50IZAW6 #cdnpoli
So, who is going to pay to finish this wildly over-budget pipeline that insurers are running away from now that the feds are cutting off $$?
And while you're at it, @JonathanWNV & @s_guilbeault, I'm still wondering how this is going to "pay for the transition"?

Big Oil has no intention of paying a dime of their own money for #CCUS - which they only care about as a a delay tactic for energy transition planning
Cenovus tripled its dividend & quarterly revenue was $16 billion
It's time to #MakePollutersPay & #StopFundingFossils
Cenovus just TRIPLED its dividend but is still out here in public, hat in hand, begging for more government handouts for the scam that is carbon capture and storage. Absolutely shameless. calgary.ctvnews.ca/federal-t…

Tell me again, @rbc, how oil sands companies can’t possibly hope to be able to afford to reduce GHG emissions without taxpayer subsidies. Where oh where would they find the cash?
