The sheer stupidity of targeting the biggest and best of the gene pool in a biodiversity crisis. Urge @NOAAFisheries to #EndSharkTournaments now! https://t.co/bNJlTOWxqV

Nurses just received 11% over 2 years and Doug Ford still thinks teachers should take 5% over 4 years?! He's delusional. #onted #edchat

‘We are damned fools’ says the scientist who sounded the climate alarm in the 80s . . . and now we are globally governed by reckless idiots fiddling with their profits as the earth burns . What will it take for us to wake up and act ? https://t.co/S1Q4bKa8rr

Condolences and total respect for those who put themselves at risk to protect our land!

The opportunity cost of becoming a teacher is too much. For example, an OPP officer will earn $1.65M in base salary after their first 17 years. An #onted teacher will pay $150k to attend school for 6 years and then only earn $870k in their next 11 years. Why become a teacher?

It’s beyond me too.

This is the single greatest threat bearing down upon the lives and livelihoods of you, your children and all future generations. Why this isn’t the biggest political issue of today and every day is beyond me. https://t.co/cZfVllvcZN

I’ll take “suddenly”

[Christopher Simpson ⛵️🚴🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦 @bflo1964]

The next time you fill the kitchen with smoke burning the toast, think about what has to burn to drape the world from Ontario to the UK with smoke. How many trees, how many wild animals, how many homes? It’s not an inconvenience, the planet we live on is on fire.

Brantford, Hamilton and Milton are among the worst-hit areas for poor air quality due to forest fires across Ontario and Quebec. @JGaidolaCHCH has the details.

Yet no one sees this as a problem…

Parts of Canada were so warm that month it pushed temperatures to a new record high for the entire continent of North America. 🥵

Professor Kevin Anderson is addressing all of us in very clear words:

»We are heading towards 3 to 4°C of warming across this century, an absolute climate catastrophe for all species incl our own. And all we are doing so far is giving rhetoric and optimism and greenwash.«

@marcorubio The DOJ is attempting to bring a criminal to justice, work harder for Americans, not just donors, douchebag.

Canada just surpassed 5 million hectares burned this season. That's more than the entire 2016, 2019, 2020 and 2022 seasons combined.

Another day, another record for the North Atlantic. Everything is happening so fast, it's hard to get a sense of the enormity of these anomalies, let alone their consequences.

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

We won’t forget that Doug Ford’s Conservatives cut 67% from the Ontario Emergency Forest Firefighting budget and are fighting to reverse them.

Wildfires have been a reality for northern Ontarians for years, and it’s getting worse.

Ontario is short 50 fire crews. #onpoli

Protect the waters that have always provided for us.

Let’s put an end to pollution, overfishing, bottom trawling & open-net salmon farms, and establish marine protected areas that restore vitality to these ecosystems and ensure these waters can nourish us and future generations.
