Carney says this (Bill C-39) is a decisive moment for Canada, & he’s right: his government is deciding to remove decades-long environmental and labour protections to build more pipelines, bypass essential environmental protections, & sideline FPIC from Indigenous Peoples.

The federal government must withdraw this bill, as it will lock us in a path of nature destruction. 75% of Canadians believe that protecting nature must be a “key consideration” when building the country. It’s time the government starts listening.

Canada has an obligation under global law to stop unilateral deep sea mining by Canadian companies. Yet Canada-based The Metals Company is working w/ Trump to bypass global processes to mine the seabed. #StopDeepSeaMining

Bill 5 let's @fordnation handpick which corporations get to ignore the rules. It guts species protections, sidesteps Indigenous rights + silences communities. This isn’t streamlining—it’s steamrolling. #ProtectNature#StopBill5@GreenpeaceCA https://t.co/lj3Dy2o9BZ

Big oil makes billions from war. You pay. Demand a profits tax now! Sign @GreenpeaceCA's petition to call for a profits tax on windfall profits from war now and in the future. The money can address the affordability crisis. #MakePollutersPay https://t.co/WAscFQoz9s
Nature is our home—not an economic zone.
The federal government is proposing to steamroll ahead with major projects by weakening environmental protections. Tell them to protect nature, not treat it as red tape. 🌿

While countries around the world are facing heat waves and wildfires, oil companies are raking in record profits off the back of climate change, wars, and genocides —it's unacceptable.
