One's investment is anothers' nuclear headache. Is #NuclearEnergy the solution to climate change? @BillGates would argue yes, but his advocacy is more self-interested than you would think.

Solidarity settled on a strategy of escalating strikes. Resisting the education cuts in the austerity package, BC teachers joined the movement and went on strike in early November 1983. https://t.co/Vo9ZxSoU2R

Should economists include the value of the health and skills of workers and the environment, along with GDP, when measuring economic progress?

Why would multi-billion dollar energy companies hold onto flailing nuclear facilities? The answer is deeper than corporate greed.

In July, a $60M bribery & corruption case came to light against one of Ohio’s largest utility corporations. For years, the firm lobbied to continue operating its unprofitable #nuclear plants, say Prof Ramana & MPPGA Alum @Cassandra_Jeff in @BulletinAtomic: https://t.co/P7A3kLIFiu

@LiamBTwomey Thanks, Liam!

How can nuclear power companies prosper when renewable costs plummet and nuclear costs soar? @Cassandra_Jeff and Leo Szilard award-winning physicist M.V. Ramana use CasP analysis to explain.

@ACDeRoo6 Hey Andrea! I'm a freelance writer currently working on a Cdn Ag piece. I came across your name through research into the Cdn Ag Youth Council, and I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind chatting? Feel free to DM me if you're open to the idea. Cheers!

Why spend millions of dollars to cut clean energy projects, only to turn around and spend billions more to develop an economically floundering nuclear sector and prop up an environmentally disastrous oil industry? #onpoli

@jdierkes @east_asia_forum @byambjav Great read, @jdierkes and @byambjav. Disheartened to hear about the candidates' arrests.

Maybe time to start a Canadian branch?

It is important to understand he RCMP’s role as a colonial paramilitary force in its historical context. John A. Macdonald created the RCMP’s predecessor–the North-West Mounted Police–in 1873 to extend Canada’s colonial control over Indigenous territories.

“Ontario can meet its electricity demand from #renewables, so why would our governing bodies allow nuclear generating stations to jeopardize the safety of the public?” writes @Cassandra_Jeff, MPPGA alumna & 2019 Simons Award recipient. More @CDN_Dimension: https://t.co/nBE6wd9kOb

#Ontario's provincial government is funnelling billions of dollars in nuclear energy and oil when cheaper, safer, greener alternatives are available. Why is #DougFord and his Gov't so focused on nuclear when our social systems need help? @CDN_Dimension https://t.co/LsGqagv35r
