BREAKING: NWT MP Michael McLeod is the first Liberal to commit to vote in favour of Motion M-1 for a #GreenNewDeal, after originally refusing to take a public position on it.

This is a direct result of the public pressure created through grassroots community organizing.

🇨🇦“National climate emergency”🇨🇦

The Trudeau government is spending nearly two-and-a-half times more on the TransMountain pipeline ($21.4B) than on the climate action plan ($9.1B) that it unveiled today.

Breaking: Arrests going down at Gidimt'en on Wet'suwet'en yintah.

In middle of climate emergency, Canada, BC, police & capitalist thieves are arresting Indigenous land defenders on their lands who are protecting the sacred.

ALL EYES ON WET'SUWET'EN.

[Emma Jackson @EmmaJackson57]

all i’m asking is for the CBC to write about climate change as if they’ve read the damn IPCC report

[350 Canada @350Canada]

Canada's Climate Delay By the Numbers:

2039 - When Canada plans to stop expanding oil production according to @CER_REC
$17.1 billion - Public funds Trudeau has wasted on the Trans Mountain pipeline (so far)
0 - Years our emissions have gone down since Trudeau took office

@RylundJohnson How about a private member's bill?

[Chris Gusen @ChrisGusen]

love how CBC's election night coverage includes quips like "if climate's your thing" as if it's an ice cream flavour and not the biggest crisis humanity's every faced 🙃

[Our Time for a Green New Deal - Yellowknife🌅 @ourtimeyk]

We just elected a new gov't. Let's send them a clear message: we need a #JustTransition for urgent climate action that leaves no one behind, especially remote communities.

Make your voice heard in the consultation on the Just Transition Act ⤵️#cdnpoli https://t.co/ZVs7rJ6wIz

"Liberals have not 'fought for climate justice as much as they should.'"

That's one of the many reasons we're endorsing @KKotchilea to represent the Northwest Territories in #Elxn44. ✊

[Our Time for a Green New Deal - Yellowknife🌅 @ourtimeyk]

Kelvin Kotchilea is a climate champion.

A young Indigenous leader, he is running in one of the ridings most impacted by the climate crisis. He's pledged to make tackling climate change with a Green New Deal approach one of his key priorities. #Elxn44

I attended the Canada on Fire Day of Action here in Yellowknife organized by Our Time Yellowknife. It was held to draw attention to the need for action on the climate Emergency. @ourtimeyk

[Our Time for a Green New Deal - Yellowknife🌅 @ourtimeyk]

Thank you everyone for such a great event! We’re proud that Yellowknifers are such awesome supporters of climate action, and we’re looking forward to the response from politicians!

#canadaonfire

[Our Time for a Green New Deal - Yellowknife🌅 @ourtimeyk]

Join us! At 12:00pm on September 8th, we’ll be gathering at the Post Office (4902 Franklin) to raise our voices. Bring masks, signs, and friends! #yellowknife #climateaction #canadaonfire

[Our Time for a Green New Deal - Yellowknife🌅 @ourtimeyk]

Canada is on fire, but our politicians still aren’t acting like it. On Wednesday, September 8 people across the country will rise up to demand emergency-level action on the climate crisis. Join us! https://t.co/Kvmo6U67iI #CanadaOnFire #elxn44 @350Canada

[Our Time for a Green New Deal - Yellowknife🌅 @ourtimeyk]

@garthwallbridge @350Canada @ElizabethMay We in Yellowknife were definitely invited and have worked closely with the great folks at @350Canada in the past! Anyone is welcome to step up to host an event in their own community.

[Kate Hodgson @KateHodgson7]

hate to break it to you @JonathanWNV, but proposing incremental solutions to the climate emergency while building pipelines and subsidizing the fossil fuel industry is also climate change denial.

[Our Time for a Green New Deal - Yellowknife🌅 @ourtimeyk]

Sign to tell our leaders we need emergency-level climate action NOW. 🧯

This means:
✖️Stop funding fossil fuels immediately, including Trans Mountain
👷🏽‍♀️#JustTransition legislation to support remote & Indigenous communities & oil/gas workers as we transition to renewable energy

[350 Canada @350Canada]

If Trudeau was serious about the climate crisis his response to the IPCC news would be a moratorium on fossil fuel expansion in Canada, a freeze on projects like Trans Mountain and immediate action to fast track Just Transition legislation.

This is an emergency. Act like it.

[350 Canada @350Canada]

Climate delay is the new, more dangerous form of climate denial. Trudeau is a master at it. Acknowledge the crisis is real, but keep on acting like it's not.

[samantha @samanthas4u]

It’s 2021 and if you’re curious just how bad things are, this was seen driving down the Vancouver Island highway. If I live long enough to see the last old growth logged, this image will be what haunts me. Resource extraction is a form of settler colonial violence.
