This G&M op-ed by Prof @MarkJaccard should be the mandate letter for new Env Min @s_guilbeault, with portions added to other letters. Almost everything in it was an election campaign promise by the @liberal_party. We must hold them to it. @ForourkidsO @leadnowca @Gasp4Change

Anyone working on holding the government accountable on the net zero electricity promises? Some great platforms to build on #policy #canpoli @ForOurKidsTO @ForOurKidsMTL @Gasp4Change @MDmoms4HR @ForOurKidsNS @Below2C_ @Climatepledgeco

Parents, grand-parents, everyone: promise your little ones, because you love them: you will support politicians with strong, forward-looking, credible, science-based climate plans. No 10 yr old goals for them.

Canada On Fire - Halifax Climate Rally Wed Sep 8. One of 60 across Canada by 350Canada. Bringing forward the message from 10,000 people who attended 2019's Halifax climate rally. Political parties: End fossil fuel expansion, invest in a robust just transition!

[ForOurKidsNS @ForOurKidsNS]

About 100 people showed up in #Halifax yesterday to send a strong message to candidates in the #Elxn44 that the #ClimateEmergency needs to be front & centre because #CanadaOnFire @350Canada The movement continues today! See below!

[350 Canada @350Canada]

Today was incredible. Thousands of people in over 60 communities took action to send a clear message ahead of the #Elxn44 debates -- this is a climate emergency, and it’s time for politicians to act like it.

Tomorrow we take the next step: https://t.co/XQeOHydZpb #CanadaOnFire

[Tyler Colbourne (He/They) @teejohnny]

Things I find cringeworthy:
Tim’s “relatable content” around renting & housing by talking about growing up in a duplex.
Waye talking about access to public washrooms as being cringeworthy & using ffs for impact.
Andy in reelection mode talking about housing 6 days late. #nspoli
