BREAKING: Yesterday, @cppinvestments marked Earth Day by committing US$300 million to fracking expansion in Ohio, making a mockery of CPPIB’s net-zero emissions commitment.

@catabreu_ @brandoncwu @ReignLau @ActionAidUSA @DontGasAfrica This #COP28 is historic - and the decisions should match that, says @catabreu_.

[Catherine Abreu @catabreu_]

UN climate talks have been discussing emissions for 30 years. Guess what? Emissions higher than ever. 2023 the hottest year on record. We feel the results of talking about emissions w/out talking about their source.#COP28 must be the COP to directly name the problem:fossil fuels.

"I think the Pathways Alliance is putting more money into advertising than reducing actual emissions, while they're demanding subsidies from taxpayers. It's bonkers."

"I think we need a windfall tax when it comes to the fossil fuel sector."

I cannot POSSIBLY be any clearer (as someone who worked in IT managing some of this country's biggest databases)

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANYONE PROVIDE PICTURES OF THEIR PASSPORTS OR DRIVING LICENCES

ESPECIALLY NOT

to databases outside the GDPR

What a huge load of spin from the OECD.
The key question here is:
“Should the public be allowed to see how much corporations pay in tax in each country?”
The OECD says no. Twisting that into a claim that they are promoting transparency is just outrageous. #TaxJustice 🧵1/5

“In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.

A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.

Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.

A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”

Values are transmitted from generation to generation.

What values are we teaching our children?

Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.”

As fires burn in communities across Canada, it’s clear we can’t afford to delay climate action. An #EmissionsCap is an effective solution that will force Big Oil to do its fair share. Call your MP and tell them to #CapPolluters: https://t.co/W0dyq7CIsP
https://t.co/5HWnb1KQNC

[Leadnow @leadnowca]

📢 Today, hundreds of us are taking the demand for a bold #EmissionsCap to the doors of MPs across Canada! We must hold oil and gas companies accountable for their carbon pollution.

Take part in the day of action by calling your MP: https://t.co/FZg1npP9kI #CapPolluters #cdnpoli

"The push by some companies and governments to build new large-scale fossil fuel projects is not only a bet against the world reaching its climate goals — it is also a risky proposition for investors who want reasonable returns on their capital."

Ottawa folks. Anyone have suggestion(s) of good, not expensive tax accountants? I've always done my taxes myself but this year they're a bit more complicated. Please DM me. Thnx

Ahh yes...the "ghost bus." Enraging that not only is Ott transit unreliable but the GPS that is supposed to tell you just how late your bus is either isn't on or is plain wrong. Just having a reliable GPS would make things better.

Agree on all the other points too. #OttCity
