If the story of how Poilievre failed to convert housing anger amongst the otherwise progressive young into votes and he loses the next election accordingly gets written, his gas station anti-carbon tax press conference the same week that Kelowna and Yellowknife burn will be why

[Seth Klein @SethDKlein]

Any leader, presented with the devastating events of this summer, who continues to feel that rallying the public around a genuine climate emergency plan is too politically risky, is not a leader fit for these times.

Could be Santa Rosa, Paradise and Redding, CA, or Slave Lake and Fort Mac, AB, or Lytton and Kelowna, BC, or Lahaina, HI, or #NWTWildFire . . .

Politics: Summer 2023

The MP for Kelowna-Lake Country. Tough juxtaposition.

[Steven Guilbeault @s_guilbeault]

Nice pic, Premier Smith, but your facts are just wrong.

Canada's goal is net-zero by 2050 & we're striving for a clean electricity grid by 2035 to get there.

These goals are shared with the US & other G7 nations.

Let's focus on facts & building a strong, sustainable future.

Hawaii in flames, 100 dead and counting. Thousands evacuated in Spain. Thousands of hectares of Portugal, on fire. The blazes in Canada? So far, they’ve destroyed an area the size of… Greece. Oh, and Greece? It’s on fire, too.

We're surrounded by megafailure. 1/7

[Bruce Anderson @bruceanderson]

Or, it's time to stop pretending there's no climate crisis. Protecting people, give them a better option if you have one. Not Kool Aid. It's deadly serious.

[Tzeporah Berman @Tzeporah]

This is the Member of Parliament for Kelowna…while her city is being evacuated as a result of wildfires. Making climate policy a divisive electoral issue while hundreds of thousands are being evacuated due to the climate emergency is beyond tone deaf. It’s terrifying. #cdnpoli

[Catherine McKenna @cathmckenna]

Hey Canada: This is what a climate emergency looks like. Feeling terrible for all the people and communities that are affected.

[Trevor Tombe @trevortombe]

Do carbon taxes affect food prices? Yes, there's research on this: https://t.co/gW0SgbL6mI

Is the effect large? No. Not at all.

Food prices dominated by other factors. Simple illustration: look at the US, which doesn't have CTax, compared to Canada. #cdnecon #cdnpoli

[The Progress Report @ProgressAlberta]

Jason Copping told the public that privatizing Alberta's medical labs would cut down wait times and save $18 million to $36 million a year. Now Adriana LaGrange won't even tell us how much buying Dynalife back out will cost. Textbook privatization scam!

[Andrew Leach 🇨🇦 @andrew_leach]

The Premier knows that Alberta is not being forced to net-zero by 2035. She knows that the 2035 number applies to electricity, and is a goal that even the draft regulations won't meet. She knows Canada's target is 2050 net zero. She knows Canada has not imposed prov GHG targets.

King of Spain at the final day of Wimbledon. This looks great.

Very rare to see this level of tailoring nowadays, even on the wealthy. So let's talk about some of the reasons why it's great. 🧵

8. All of these things have culminated in June 2023 easily being the hottest June in recorded history for planet Earth.

It's likely the hottest June in 115,000 - 120,000 years when Earth was last this warm.

7. The Canadian 2023 Wildfire Season will not let up, with nearly all annual records falling before we even reach the midpoint of the season.

No Canadian wildfire season had ever produced 12 terawatts (TW) of fire radiative power. 2023 has produced 18TW.
