New from @ccpa senior researcher @hadrianmk on the intersection of work and climate change. "The crucial lesson here is that workers are not the enemy of climate action." #climateaction https://t.co/sC9FNcE1Rz

[@policyalternatives Bluesky @policyalternatives.ca @ccpa]

"We must stop producing and consuming coal, oil and gas as quickly as possible...To ensure there are good jobs in a productive, clean economy, we also need to invest in economic alternatives." @hadrianmk @ccpa #canlab https://t.co/jOGHs3sCWL

[@policyalternatives Bluesky @policyalternatives.ca @ccpa]

How can an industrial strategy help Canada take significant #ClimateAction, and why are we lagging behind the rest of the world when it comes to this? Hear @ccpa climate change policy researcher @hadrianmk explain in this podcast episode! https://t.co/Rw7IL8tEdf

For an outstanding summary of the climate measures in the budget, see @hadrianmk's analysis for the @ccpa here: https://t.co/MwCGu1nQer

[Hadrian MK @hadrianmk]

#Budget2024 includes just $2 billion over 5 years in net new climate spending. It's too soon for the federal government to rest on its climate laurels.

[Broadbent Institute @broadbent]

We need accelerated industrial-scale investments to take climate action, create jobs, and make a good society based on justice and equality.

But what does ambitious green industrial policy look like in Canada?

"The carbon pricing and rebate system redistributes money from the highest emitters to the lowest emitters. It’s both a carrot and a stick that encourages individuals, households and businesses to make greener choices," @ccpa senior researcher @hadrianmk. https://t.co/3ILa2uJlFc

'The initial generative AI hype may have been overblown, but we have a lot of work to do to prepare for what comes next.' https://t.co/RKevTYPOGs @hadrianmk @ccpa #canlab #cdned

[Seth Klein @SethDKlein]

As Canadians struggle with a weak economy, it's important to fight back against a fossil fuel industry and its allies trying to undermine meaningful climate action, writes @hadrianmk. https://t.co/oaBQ2jWkhu

[Hadrian MK @hadrianmk]

"This fiscal update... reflects a government that feels it has done enough on climate change already or, at least, one that doesn’t feel like it can afford to do more. Neither of those things is true." My take on #FES2023 for @NatObserver: https://t.co/9cR6UMCQUX

[John Woodside @Woodsideful]

"The feds have taken the bait and shied away from strong public leadership at this critical juncture."

@hadrianmk on the Feds abdicating responsibility at a crucial moment where they can't afford to. Another missed opportunity that defines this gov.

[Katherine Scott @kjscott.bsky.social @ScottKatherineJ]

Great piece from @hadrianmk on the carbon price debacle. "It’s time to relegate carbon pricing to an appropriate place in the climate policy discourse and refocus on the big ideas that will build a more prosperous and sustainable economy for everyone."

[Erika Shaker @ErikaShaker]

'Budget 2023...included investment tax credits worth tens of billions of dollars. But this approach of trying to incentivize the private sector to do the heavy lifting of transitioning Canada to a cleaner economy has its limits' https://t.co/Q9pj6QIruC @hadrianmk #canlab #climate

Call the Food Professor a government bond because he was just owned by the Bank of Canada.
