Toronto's building emission performance standards have been put on the back burner indefinitely, as the city says it is grappling with provincial and federal pressures that hinder its ability to meet near-term climate targets. https://t.co/vhsuqDsHl9
I dug into the federal gov's off diesel goal by 2030 for remote Indigenous communities. That goal was stated as a commitment, but a briefing note I obtained shows the feds never believed it could meet the target — considering it, rather, as “directional.” https://t.co/0nxFtBQJek
@amelissa555 Hi Melissa! Thanks for posting this. I'm a journalist with Canada's National Observer. Would you be OK with me using it in an article? Cheers and stay safe.

Briefly popping back on here to share the 1st story from a new series Canada's National Observer is launching today on ice roads. This one focuses on the drive between Moosonee + Fort Albany along the James Bay Winter Road. https://t.co/BPATKllMDW
Zero shot Feds recoup the billions spent on TMX. The political calculus on TMX is clearly this is a boondoggle and if after the election Liberals are in power they can deal with the headache of selling at a loss... or they've made it Poilievre's problem.

NEW from @CloeILogan: A new anonymous group on the East Coast is pushing people in the region to sign a petition that claims to support Canadian energy in Atlantic Canada — but is actually shilling only for oil and gas. https://t.co/nB9oNqW17t
From last week: Newfoundland and Labrador has a lofty goal of doubling offshore oil production by the end of the decade, but exploration efforts that revealed two unsuccessful wells further call that target into question. For @NatObserver https://t.co/MV7hQxRPXf
New from me & @CloeILogan: Trudeau’s decision to slap Chinese EV manufacturers with new tariffs will slow the adoption of electric vehicle sales in Canada, jeopardizing climate goals and making it more expensive for consumers, say experts.

In this moment it's crucial to put climate change and how we must adapt at the forefront. It will cost $66 billion between now and the end of the century to help Ontario’s public buildings deal with extreme rainfall, extreme heat and freeze-thaw cycles.

This illuminating story by @NatObserver's @CloeILogan is a must-read. She digs into the DFO's bizarre decision to reopen the N.L. cod fishery and how climate change was (or wasn't) part of the govt's calculus. https://t.co/203cuUPfUy

@TalktoARYZE Hey @TalktoARYZE - I'm working on a story about Point Access Blocks and was wondering if you'd be up to chat. Email is in my bio if so! Thanks.
Looking for a source for a story on Dark NL, a decade later. Do you, or someone you know, have a personal story about the outages you'd be willing to share? Please reach out if so! For a story for @NatObserver.
Another summer is nearing, and workers in Canada lack measures to protect them from the heat. I spoke with workers, advocates, and unions about heat protections for workers + the call for a maximum temp policy. For
