Wow. 3400. Excess deaths. In what world is this ok when it could be prevented? Canada stop making the problem worse! @MarkJCarney no more fossil fuels. No pipelines. #transitionnow#Renewables
Official complaints filed with lobbying commissioners about lobbyists working to supersize the island airport
They didn’t disclose that US bank JP Morgan controls and directs them, as required
Is there any penalty? https://t.co/sU3UcdAx2x
Growing waitlists. Layoffs. No wage increases for front-line staff.
But funding for private administration? It's tripled under Doug Ford.
Turns out there is money - it's just being redirected from care into profit.
Congrats to @Rob_Oliphant for taking a stand for Toronto. Will other MPs join him and stop the jet port nightmare before a proposal comes from the Toronto Port Authority? #NoJetsTO#Cdnpoli#TOPoli
Scrapping environmental and health protection at the behest of billionaire oil companies is not a good look. Time for a rethink: https://t.co/aOkXQU8qFv #cdnpoli#toxic#extinction
The past eleven years have been the hottest on record.
Every fraction of a degree brings greater harm – especially to the most vulnerable.
This #WorldEnvironmentDay, warning signals are everywhere.
This is the moment to act for our environment & for our future.

South Korea built a 32 km solar-covered bicycle highway with ~7,500 solar panels generating ~2.2 GWh of clean electricity annually, enough to power ~600 homes.
The South Korean solar bike highway is a glimpse of how infrastructure evolves during disruption.
Critics point to today's traffic noise and pollution, but those are largely artifacts of the fossil fuel era. As transport electrifies, tailpipe emissions disappear and road noise falls dramatically.
What remains is a bicycle corridor protected from traffic, shaded from the sun and rain, while generating clean electricity from the same footprint.
One asset. Multiple functions. More value.
That's not just a bike path. It's a preview of how smarter infrastructure gets built. #Bettrification
Price of NEW solar plus storage is below marginal gas costs in Europe, China, India and Asia!
Gas industry bet LNG was an indispensable commodity. Even before the war in Iran blew up that argument, falling costs of RE made it obsolete.

If a project could cost taxpayers and ratepayers billions, shouldn't it face rigorous independent scrutiny?
This Energy Mix article highlights concerns that nuclear approvals are becoming little more than a "rubber stamp": https://t.co/PLwrxuO1aZ

Passenger numbers at Billy Bishop are down, but the Ford government says a planned expansion of the airport will lead to millions more travellers every year.
“The only economic benefit that seems to be at play here is the economic benefit to JP Morgan."

Ford has no plan to help the avg household paying $648 MORE for gas this year.
Ford's close friend, Mr. Nigro, found a way to sue ONT for $500 million & then settle for an undisclosed figure. The gov't won't say how much.
Ford's friends get rich while you pay more.

BAM! Colombia has announced a historic ban on all new oil and large-scale mining projects in its part of the Amazon Rainforest, protecting an area roughly the size of Sweden. 🌿
Experts say the move could help protect one of the planet’s most important ecosystems—often called the “lungs of the Earth.” 🌎🌳
Nature is amazing. Protect it.

IKEA has installed 935,000+ solar panels and is on track for 100% renewable electricity.
This isn’t a future idea. It’s already happening.
We have the solutions. Implement them.

@MarkJCarney and his Toronto MPs have a chance right now to put five new Board members on the Toronto Port Authority and put an end to the jet port nightmare proposal. #TOpoli#cdnpoli#NoJetsTO https://t.co/sENnn6ayEs…
Many people won't remember history. If you do you will recall that every dictator slowly gained power by changing laws to protect themselves, reducing opponents opportunities to debate and worst of all replaced transparency with controlled publicity. https://t.co/k9AQRTaCBF
