The USA 🇺🇸 under president Donald Trump, is an overall disaster 😑
On the area of #EnvironmentalStewardship Canada 🇨🇦 under @MarkJCarney who many of us thought was an environmentalist has instead shown his clear preferences through horrendous policy decisions 🤔
Our Prime Minister has abandoned the dream of many: #CleanEnergy and an end to #fossilfuels #cdnmedia #cdnpoli
@avilewis Modelling a sovereign wealth fund based on Norway's model could be very beneficial to Canada. Privatization is a very different matter. In Canada, it only makes the service worse and more expensive. It only enriches the rich investors.
RNAO CEO Dr. Doris Grinspun says that most Canadians understand how some unhealthy behaviours are connected to their health — but many still don’t see the link between fossil fuel use, climate change, and health impacts.
“When more pipelines get built, or we will not put an end to fossil fuels, we don’t say what the consequences will be, in human life, in disease, in death and in debt. We are already paying for it.”

This @_yourthunderbay story highlights how health professionals, policy experts, and Indigenous and youth climate advocates are demanding a #ClimatePlan to protect public health and secure Ontario’s economic future. #OnPoli
RNAO CEO Dr. @DorisGrinspun reminds us how #ClimateChange is placing added strain on the health‑care sector.
“Nurses see seniors arriving with heat strokes from an overheated apartment, in Indigenous communities displaced by wildfires or flooding, many of whom will work directly on other evidence-based practices, in increasing respiratory and cardiovascular emergency visits, asthma attacks, and other acute symptoms caused by wildfire smoke and elevated fine particulate matter."

RNAO CEO Dr. @DorisGrinspun is joining physicians, environmental leaders, Indigenous and youth climate advocates to underscore the critical role a climate plan plays in protecting people’s health and supporting a healthier, more resilient Ontario.
“We are already seeing the health impacts of climate change – these are not abstract incidents. Ontario has the capacity and the responsibility to act. Nurses are directly calling on Premier @fordnation to urgently reinstate a #ClimatePlan that puts the health of Ontarians first.”
#EarthDay #EarthWeek
The "environment", "climate change" & " planetary boundaries" are politically inconvenient words, but are not going away and are only worsening.
@MarkJCarney ignoring them is an economic liability.

Tomorrow, April 22, on #EarthDay, health and climate leaders — including RNAO CEO Dr. @DorisGrinspun — will gather at Queen’s Park to call on the provincial government to reinstate a #ClimatePlan for Ontario.
Nurses, physicians, Indigenous and youth climate advocates and others will gather to discuss how climate action can protect public health, advance clean energy, and support healthy communities across the province.

In this @TheHillTimes op-ed, RNAO CEO Dr. @DorisGrinspun urges the federal government to be at the table for an international conference aimed at a just transition away from fossil fuels.
"Canada should not be absent from this search for pathways toward a more secure and healthy, low-carbon future."

This is why more pipelines should not be built. When spills do happen, it is in the magnitude of hundreds of thousands or millions of liters. The Alberta Energy regulator green lights the industry and historically underreports any damages

Gracias a la NASA tenemos esta foto de la Tierra.
Tenemos dos opciones, o dejar desaparecer la vida de esta esfera azul hermosa o descarbonizar la economía.
Tenemos solo una opción ver la humanidad, expresión máxima de la vida y única en el universo, unida en su diversidad cultural.
La NASA surgió de la guerra fría y como competencia ante el mundo soviético que ya no existe; logró acuerdos con la Unión soviética para el impulso científico de la exploración del universo.
Es hora hoy de convertir a la NASA en un esfuerzo común de la humanidad. Abrirla a la paz y el encuentro del mundo para llevar la vida al universo.
Es hora de superar las guerras en el mundo, los conflictos necesitan para su resolución pacífica de otra ONU, de una gobernanza global democrática.
Una democracia global en lugar de guerras por la hegemonía del petroleo que debe dejar de usarse inmediatamente por toda la humanidad.
Entre menos petroleo e hidrocarburos use usted, menos gasolina le echa a las guerras.
@DorisGrinspun@HQNewsNow Less than a week later the same crowd demanded his death and for the release of a murderer. Jesus was not the zealot religious nationalist king the anticipated. Trump and the religious nationalists claiming to be Christian clearly missed the point entirely.
@DorisGrinspun@HQNewsNow They were praising Jesus as king because they wanted a religious nationalist to overthrow the Roman Empire. Instead of pomp, Jesus rode in on a lowly donkey and overthrew the money exchanger tables of the corrupt, religious elite.
