Fantastic to see this happening! Seniors are stepping up to support the environment groups Pallister apparently can't afford to fund anymore, using the $45,000,000 he is giving to seniors

[MB Seniors for Sustainability @MBSeniors4Sust]

Our Media Release went out this morning. Please support these great organizations. We want to raise $360,000.

@TheCurrentCBC @MarkJaccard @khar1958 Data on federal emissions available here: https://t.co/V4kMYbJ3ZH

[Rob Altemeyer @RAltemeyer]

@TheCurrentCBC @MarkJaccard @khar1958 If we apply the UN-IPCC target to Canada, our total emissions in 2030 need to be 381 megatonnes. This is much tougher than the current federal target of 511 megatonnes (which Canada will not even meet with a status quo approach or minor tinkering in the years to come).

[Rob Altemeyer @RAltemeyer]

@TheCurrentCBC @MarkJaccard @khar1958 Love your show @TheCurrentCBC, thanks for climate focus this morning. I had hoped your panelists would start with climate science c/o the UN-IPCC report calling for a 45% cut in emissions from 2010 levels by 2030. That's the standard all political parties should be judged on.

Big shout out to Alyssa Buternowsky and her classmates at Miles Macdonell Collegiate for our great chat about protecting wetlands and environmental activism today. I love the mug too! #hopeforthefuture

@WilderNewsMB @MBGov @ndpcaucus @Min_Squires @Brian_Pallister Great work Wilderness Committee! Current and future Manitobans deserve so much better.....

I took the Conservative MLA for Gimli to task today for bringing in legislation that will make life worse for his rural constituents and for rural Manitobans across the province.... #mbpoli https://t.co/LAQZeNSpzN

Today @RAltemeyer pointed the finger at @Min_JWharton's Bill 19 and it's implications on the environment and quality of life in rural Manitoba

[Rob Altemeyer @RAltemeyer]

First, Pallister’s “Families” Minister is found liking Trump tweets. Now the Tory Whip makes this brutal Alt Right comment about asylum seekers.....the level of ignorance is simply stunning. #MBPoli https://t.co/sPggMjrCC9

[Rob Altemeyer @RAltemeyer]

Pallister broke the law by ordering UofM to engage in unfair labour practices. Now has to pay up to $2.4 million. So proud of the faculty and students for standing together against this brutal gov’t! #mbpoli #briantakesomeclasses https://t.co/9MzboBYkvL
