Big news! My book, #RunLikeaGirl, is launching in Canada & US on September 23. It’s about having the courage to run your own race-even when it’s hard. Trying to live up to the expectations of others is no way to live or make a difference. Let’s do this!🏃‍♀️💪

“87 per cent of the 87,000 respondents to a public consultation opposed the idea” = fringe group

Toronto island airport expansion killed by 'fringe group': Ontario minister https://t.co/05MnfnvWrM #nationlnewswatch via @natnewswatch

Engineers once called Toronto Harbour beyond saving. Now, fed gov kills idea for filling in Lake for Billy Bishop & City opens 10 acres of Biidaasige Park.
The harbour didn’t get saved by engineers, it was saved by people who kept showing up for it. https://t.co/7lmL2VARn5

Brilliant reporting from @Channel4News - at last parts of the media are finally joining the dots between a planet on fire and the burning of fossil fuels 👇

[Catherine McKenna @cathmckenna]

Carbon pricing not only lowered emissions it gave more money back to the majority of people, especially to the poorest. Shame on all the cynical politicians who repeated lies about it. https://t.co/8hmG8l0anS

"My message to the people of the UK is that I'll train the new guy but you're going to have to stick with one of them eventually."

[Jamie Henn @jamieclimate]

Never forget that as early as the 1950s the oil industry knew this was *exactly* the crisis their pollution would create, but instead of warning the public, they funded massive, ongoing disinformation campaigns and lobbied against clean energy.

Climate change isn’t a tragedy, it’s a crime.

“Big oil understood decades ago that the unchecked burning of fossil fuels would, in the words of their own senior employees’ internal communications, be ‘globally catastrophic,’ do ‘great irreversible harm to our planet,’…” https://t.co/mXJsgw87uF

Alphonso Davies. Our captain. 🇨🇦

In 2000, he was born in a refugee camp in Ghana.

In 2005, his family was resettled in Canada as refugees.

In 2017, he became a Canadian citizen.

Now, he is leading our country onto the world's biggest stage.

This is the Canadian story. My heart is bursting with pride.

The Ambassador is totally wrong

Feeling the Heat? Europe’s heat wave “was so intense that in a stable preindustrial environment … it would have been the kind of freak event the region could expect about once every 26,000 years.” Fossil fuel caused it.

Europe is suffering through its worst heat wave in recorded history.

This week, 3 dozen U.S. states will likely see record-breaking temperatures.

No, Mr. Trump. Climate change is not a “hoax.”

We must stop fossil fuel industry greed and save the planet.

BOMBSHELL reporting finds Princeton climate researchers took tens of millions of dollars from BP to publish research, shaped and edited by BP, promoting carbon capture & storage and fossil fuels.

Landmark "Wedges" climate paper promoting CCS now confirmed to be BP propaganda.

[Catherine McKenna @cathmckenna]

And phase out fossil fuels …

[UN News @UN_News_Centre]

Europe is warming at more than twice the global average, and heatwaves are now recurring crises — not one-off events.

@WHO's #KeepCool advice: stay out of the heat, keep your home and body cool, stay hydrated, and check in on those most at risk.

Just fourteen percent of Americans say they'd support the construction of a data center within their community. More than fifty percent support the construction of solar and wind farms.
