New report from @ecojustice_ca and @ccpa: Global #ClimateAction will cause a steep drop in Canadian oil sands production — and have serious economic consequences and social impacts, including a 95% decrease in # of oil sands jobs. Read report here: https://t.co/BvOX4PfTcS

“Canada, USA, UK, Norway + Australia can’t talk about a ‘just energy transition’ while continuing to expand fossil fuels. It’s climate hypocrisy + it simply doesn’t work.”

– @carobrouillette of @CANRacCanada at #COP29 on need for global #PlanetWreckers to #PayUp for a transition

Dr. Lem: “Even now we’re seeing #FossilFuels walk back on commitments to renewables. They’ve shown over and over again their interest is not in our #health or our #environment.”

Oilsands companies want to transport carbon pollution through a 400-km pipeline and bury it in rural Alberta. Yesterday, the energy regulator said it won't require an environmental assessment. Here are 5 questions being asked by locals along the route. https://t.co/BRTitGSBe0

Watching politics around the world I’ve learned the #1 foundation of truth is trusted journalists. Do you value local journalism? I DO (even when we disagree). Our local indie @GuelphPolitico @@adamadonaldson is our trusted source. Please support at https://t.co/tRS1nRDPpw

[Drew Yewchuk @DrewYewchuk]

"a little help", "investment", "to stimulate activities", "carrots" are all euphemisms used to hide what is being proposed, which is to directly violate the polluter pays principle and provide public subsidies for the costs of producing oil and gas. (1/2)

Damn! This is what we're up against.

Fossil fuel companies & their industry associations lobbied the federal government AN AVERAGE OF 5 TIMES per working day in 2023.

The impact that the oil sands industry has had on the health of a remote community in Northern Alberta will be the focus of a new 10-year study receiving $12-million from the federal government. https://t.co/i6tSjqpztT #cdnpoli #ableg #oott #cdnecon

[Prof. Ryan Katz-Rosene @ryankatzrosene]

We suggest there are four main competing visions of "Just Transition" in Canada's oil & gas sector... and that the policy is getting watered down because the Sustainable Jobs Act seeks to appease various irreconcilable components of these perspectives.

[Prof. Ryan Katz-Rosene @ryankatzrosene]

My Master's student Isaac Bell is writing his thesis on Just Transition policy, drawing upon interviews with Oil & Gas workers.

Here's an article we've just published:
