The federal budget hasn’t passed yet and we have a rare opportunity to get a major climate win. Help us build pressure on MPs to get a tax on Big Oil's excess profits into Budget 2024: https://t.co/kwnJc5gzIq
@TIFF_NET@ziggymarley Is there any aspect of Bob’s life or views that you were hesitant to include in the film, but decided to because you felt it was significant to his story?
We can't trust Big Oil to regulate themselves! Scientists just revealed that tar sands companies are massively underreporting pollution.
Use @350Canada's quick tool to tell the gov you support a strong emissions cap. Consultations end on Feb 5:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is building a ridiculously expensive pipeline that will be obsolete by the time it opens. @rossbelot writes for @NatObserver #TMX#pipeline#oil https://t.co/mJH5KXG5Mx
Pierre, I know you'll do anything for CEOs - lying included.
When you were in government they were fixing the price of bread - criminally.
What did you do? Reward them with billions in tax giveaways.
You're a pretender. I see through you and so do Canadians.
Yes, it’s true that a review of the Greenbelt is required in legislation every 10 years.
And it is true that the new Housing Minister announced this week that they are going to advance this review earlier than required, as a result of the #GreenbeltScandal, and party friends & donors asking for more land to be removed from Greenbelt protections.
This is the problem: we already know this isn’t necessary.
We are building out existing land approved for new housing at lower densities than expected, and at a slower pace than expected. Land isn’t the issue.
The total unbuilt land available for development is now roughly 59,000 ha (590 km2).
Even if residents assigned by the Ontario government to the GTHA's future suburbs were housed at the modest densities of successful low-rise GTHA neighborhoods, like Trinity Bellwoods or Junction-Wallace Emerson, they would only consume approximately 15,000 ha (150km2) of land through 2051.
Removing land from the Greenbelt today is simply a long-term land speculation play. We have land adjacent to serviced areas where we can build new suburbs, if so desired.
This review is politically motivated, and ought to be stopped. This government lacks the credibility to touch the Greenbelt, and should first make amends by returning land wrongly removed.
