Tues, Aug 21 6:30pm @nsnscoc, Fernwood Publishing & Tatamagouche Centre invite you to the launch of "There's Something in the Water: Environmental Racism in Indigenous and Black Communities" by Dr. Ingrid Waldron. Everyone welcome to this free event. 259 Loop Rte 6, Tatamagouche
We need to talk about the connection between climate change and extreme weather events more. One event? Hard to attribute causation. Global pattern of extreme weather events? That’s climate change happening in real time, folks. #cdnpoli
Let Parliament know you support a full federal environmental assessment of the proposed plan to pump Abercrombie pulp mill effluent into the Northumberland Strait. Please share widely. https://t.co/8sbS6HWTBY #nopipe#nspoli#NoPlanetB
“Choose a path of fiscal prudence, social and cultural healing, and sustainable growth for Canada, and you will begin to write a future that young people will be proud to read about.” These aren't just the leaders of tomorrow, they're the leaders Canada needs right now! https://t.co/rHXbrfEypZ
Thanks for the reminder @basicallybill ! We remember, but you can bet @JustinTrudeau is hoping that come next election day most voters will forget. https://t.co/DYFqaiaAT9
#NoPipeRally about to start here in Pictou to show our opposition to Northern Pulp's latest scheme to pipe effluent into the Northumberland! Found some @CouncilofCDNs friends from @SouthShoreCoC and Inverness in the crowd of 600 marching to the quay!
Even Kinder Morgan is consulting its shareholders to decide whether to finalize the deal. If Trudeau is committing billions in public dollars to buying out this pipeline then Canadians are the new TransMountain pipeline shareholders - we deserve a say too. https://t.co/XJgH9Re3nx
"Fascism doesn’t arise suddenly in an existing democracy. It is not easy to get people to give up their ideas of freedom and civility." https://t.co/4PTSCbIVzM via @IrishTimesOpEd
Just remember that Northern Pulp isn't paying for any of the cleanup, nor will they be liable for any future cleanup. It's #novascotian taxpayers subsidizing an unsustainable industry, risking a sustainable #fishery. #nspoli#novascotia#nopipe https://t.co/9taSDBseM6
If you care, be there. July 6, Pictou Waterfront and Harbour, 12 pm to 2 pm. Join us to be a voice politicians cannot ignore. Please share widely, every person's presence counts!
"The BP oil disaster fouled more than 1,300 miles of coastline...leading to huge financial losses for the tourism and fishing industries. But impact on microbes could prove even more significant given their role at the base of the ocean food chain." https://t.co/3RsglRY9jU
These loans were made under Harper, and Liberals may have had no choice but to write them off... none of which excuses the lack of transparency. "Finance Canada won't provide any details of loan write-off" CBC News https://t.co/G3Bsz19GKH #cdnpoli

"Amid the global outrage of the U.S’s violation of the rights of migrant children, lawyers for the Canadian government argued that Abdoul’s human rights, and that more broadly the rights of children, are not relevant and should not be heard." Call your MP. https://t.co/3Jxf2dTOFP
"The respectful solemnity with which designer clothes, luxury cars, extremely expensive watches and daft modern art works are viewed makes me well up with contempt." https://t.co/qyHFNK1FZd
