The largest private conservation project in Canadian history. In the boreal forest, one of the planet’s potential climate tipping points. Proud to be part of the team making it happen. @NCC_CNC #EarthDay

As our planet faces the dual crises of biodiversity loss & climate change, conservation is now more important than ever. Once complete, Boreal Wildlands will cover an area 2X the size of Toronto and store carbon equal to the average lifetime emissions of 3 million cars! #EarthDay

Nova Scotia’s new property vacancy tax is anti-Canadian. Unlike other provinces, it treats Canadians (other than Nova Scotians) like foreigners. BC’s is 0.5% for Canadians and 2% for foreigners. @nsgov @TimHoustonNS @chronicleherald @SaltWireNetwork

Carbon offsets are necessary, imperfect and evolving…..supply now the challenge..@NCC_CNC @natureunited_ca ... https://t.co/ScLiTlZ7io

Could planting a trillion trees stop global heating? https://t.co/aa6g4LQxLk

I’d love to see this happen. https://t.co/O2iDqpgtjb

Today, Sept 30, is the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. Given what we learned this year about Residential Schools, there is much for all Canadians to reflect on. #NDTR #OrangeShirtDay

Charlie marched to his own drumbeat. From rock to jazz. We will miss his performances and his presence.

R.I.P. to Charlie Watts of The Rolling Stones, one of rock music’s greatest drummers.

He says: “Refusing vaccination is a right. But working in a long-term care facility, attending a Colter Wall concert and having a meal indoors at Boston Pizza are not rights. They are privileges for which vaccination should be a prerequisite”. Well said, @picardonhealth

[André Picard @picardonhealth]

The time for debating #COVID19 vaccine certificates and passports is over. We need to focus on creating rules and documents that are simple, fair and efficient, by @picardonhealth https://t.co/ofg9rFGdW5 via @GlobeDebate #cdnpoli #vaccination

Single-handed sailboat racing wasn’t accessible until Bruce Kirby’s invention of the Laser, with Montreal’s Ian Bruce. It trained a generation of sailors, and took the sport to a new level. https://t.co/tyNCVlIf6C

Great to see leading banks across the world teaming to help climate solutions scale up. There are no silver bullets. ⁦@NCC_CNC⁩ ⁦@isfcanada⁩ ⁦@smartprosperity⁩ https://t.co/Wn5CDCKZZb

How long can Canada exclude forest fire carbon emissions from its GHG count on the pretense that they are not caused by humans? https://t.co/BbnPnX8DyQ

[Bill Morris @MorrisWilliamF]

A major milestone that gives private capital greater confidence to invest in climate solutions in Canada. https://t.co/PlCDGNwQmP @ClimateChoices @smartprosperity @NCC_CNC

A great example of how net-zero drives private capital into the green economy https://t.co/9wO0Pn5ksa

Beautiful and essential part of Nova Scotia’s south shore has been conserved by @NSNatureTrust. Further evidence that donations (with 4:1 match) to our #TwicetheWild campaign will go far.

[Nova Scotia Nature Trust @NSNatureTrust]

We're proud to announce that we have saved 363 acres of spectacular coastal wilderness near Port La Tour! This success secures one of #NovaScotia’s last large and ecologically rich coastal properties - read the full story: https://t.co/7KRCotFfQH #TwiceTheWild

Opinion: Offsets Can Help Fund Climate Solutions if ‘Imperfections’ are Solved https://t.co/tXWq9tfT22 via @TheEnergyMix

The acceptance of carbon offsets will grow as improvements take hold ⁦@isfcanada⁩ ⁦@smartprosperity⁩ @ieta ⁦@ClearBlueMarket⁩ ⁦@RadicleBalance⁩ ⁦@ClimateChoices⁩ https://t.co/F6FqTSS9r7

My attempt, with Pierre Alvarez, to elevate the discussion ……. Offsets are a way to attract private capital efficiently and direct it to cost-effective climate solutions. ⁦@NCC_CNC⁩ ⁦@natureunited_ca⁩ ⁦@corporateknight⁩ ⁦ https://t.co/F6FqTSS9r7

Avoiding the development of peatlands is critical. Research by ⁦@natureunited_ca⁩ says it offers the 2nd largest near-term (2030) potential in Canada of all nature climate solutions (although more costly than others). ⁦⁦@NCC_CNC⁩ https://t.co/xQ4nOGjQsC
