Hello Twitter/X, after many years my account on this platform will go dormant. While previous stunts of @elonmusk were amusing, he now - out of economic self-interest - passed from ignorant to dangerous meddling in international politics. Hopefully we'll meet on another platform

Galen Weston is not working for Canadians but for Loblaw Companies Limited. Same for CEOs of other major suppliers. It is naive to think they would do their best to lower grocery prices. #loblawsboycott #Loblaws

Reddit call to boycott Loblaw over food price inflation https://t.co/VlEvXKU5jz Naysayers say it won't have effect https://t.co/ETc9a4t9Sm But 90s consumer boycott of Shell forced company to its knees. Don't underestimate your power.

Question: Why do Canadian politicians handle national & international companies w/ kitten gloves? UK government introduced grocery supplier code of conduct 15 years ago. But #Loblaws & #Walmart are allowed to keep blocking Canadian code. #BoycottLoblaws

Danielle Smith correctly identified universities as foundations of free democracy. This is why she tries to control them. Is she taking Alberta on the same course Orban took Hungary? https://t.co/RCmB2pe86n

In the discussion about the costs of the Canadian carbon tax, why is hardly anybody acknowledging the costs of carbon subsidies? Read here: https://t.co/kO74vGKhca

STOP THE DECEPTION: Last night climate activists called out the environmental destruction caused by oil companies like @Chevron and @Shell with this powerful projection onto the side of a hotel in lower Manhattan.

@Mahyarm86 @UWaterloo Very happy for you & looking forward to continue working with you on exciting urban environmental issues

#Ontario gov proposes to remove highway, rail & power line projects from comprehensive #environment assessment process. This proposal weakens oversight & limits #public input. You can comment on the proposal until May 9: https://t.co/0M4uO7JJmW

Take a good look at this chart. It’s the best advice science has to offer us on how to get out of the climate mess we’ve created for ourselves. #IPCC

Have you eaten your greens today? This #muskrat was found on the side of the highway, balled up against the curb. The finders set a box down & it happily jumped right in. No injuries were detected. We gave it time to rest & refuel before releasing it back in its territory.

Sometimes urbanites believe #farmers don’t think about #agriculture effects on the #environment. But most farmers are aware of benefits of buffers along watercourses.

[Grey Bruce Farmers Week @GBFarmersWeek]

#GBFW23 #Ecological Day, in Elmwood/online. @MichaelMdresche will discuss how widespread environmental best management practices are, & why farmers adopt them or not? What might programs look like that could help with these practices?

Heading off for my first in-person talk in 3 years! Wish me luck. See you soon @McMasterU for HAALSA

The #waterlooWetlandLab is excited to continue our work on #urban #wetlands as part of the #RISE project led by @MichaelMdresche alongside @derektrobinson @wetland_GHG @MacvicarBruce and Dawn Parker (not on Twitter). #Housing developments can be more #sustainable! #Bill23

[Dr. Rebecca Rooney @girls_can]

The #SaveOntarioWetlands slack is buzzing with prep for our Instagram account. People will post pictures of their favourite #wetland species and say why. Folks, it’s all #plants and #turtles ! Where are my #bird people? Where’s the #bug lovers and their dragonfly shots?!
