New report by @movetheworldCA ranks top restaurant chains on meat reduction policies and plant-based offerings. @chipotleCA wins out as the leader. @McDonaldsCanada needs to step up their plant-based game. https://t.co/olbBqwSZ0D

Stop funding factory farms!

NEW @foe_us STUDY: In just 6 years, US banks funneled $134 BIL into meat, dairy & feed corporations, fueling climate destruction. “Banks have committed to pathways to net zero, but they are ignoring a huge cow-shaped hole in their plans” @moniquemikhail https://t.co/TO7wG1IQUs

Very disappointing to see negotiations on an International Pandemic Agreement delayed. Hoping Canada will not wait to take action to address top pandemic drivers by passing Bill C-293, the Pandemic Prevention and Preparedness Act without delay.

An amazing example of animal intelligence and a reminder to those who question the cognitive capabilities of non-human animals.

Canada's Eco Commissioner released a new report today saying @AAFC_Canada has not developed a strategy for how it would contribute to Canada's climate targets. Animal production contributes most of these emissions, yet rarely discussed. #TheCowInTheRoom?

Amazing event last Thursday to promote the economic, health, env and animal welfare benefits of plant-based diets. Thank you @TurnbullWhitby for your support and to the many govt staff, MPs, NGOs and PB businesses that attended. @MoveTheWorldCA

The amount of protein you need depends on your age and situation, but in general, most people are worried about the wrong nutrient.

#Wildlife legal trade is unsustainable, fuels the illegal trade and poses severe risks to public health through the spread and emergence of zoonotic diseases, writes @MicheleHamers @MoveTheWorldca #WorldWildlifeDay #EndWildlifeCrime #TechForWildlife https://t.co/8knFQGRiPM

It's thrilling to see the alternative protein sector grow. No animal suffering, smaller climate footprint.

Big animal welfare news from the UK. Long-distance transport is common in Canada and the U.S. and is a huge stress for farm animals. Vulnerable animals like 'cull' dairy cows are often transported across Canada or to the U.S. for slaughter.

Plant-based diets will feed the world, not factory farming.

⁦⁦Great to meet⁩ the Minister of Health @markhollandlib⁩ & ⁦@PHAC_GC⁩ about the strong interconnections between the health & welfare of animals, people & the planet. Canada needs a #OneHealth #OneWelfare approach to preventing pandemics & antimicrobial resistance

🎉 Denmark is the first country to publish a roadmap toward a plant-based food system! We encourage Canada to follow + acknowledge the role that factory farming plays in the climate crisis. A fundamental change is needed to our food system. https://t.co/3EXFxPEivp #cdnpoli

🚨TRUTH: Climate Change has much greater impact on food prices than the Carbon Tax!

“the impact of climate [on food prices] is at least an order of magnitude bigger than the impact of the carbon tax." Prof. von Massow, food economics, U of Guelph #cdnpoli https://t.co/7sb0E2K4Oo

[Lynn Kavanagh @salandsimone]

The impact of animal-based foods on the climate crisis continues to be underestimated by govts and policy makers but it's great to see others with influence showing leadership on this.

The evidence just keeps mounting. Less meat, less dairy, more plants. Easy peasy.

Industry and government need to do more to protect these fragile animals who suffer in transport to slaughter. Consumers can choose plant-based milks more often! #WorldMilkDay2023 #worldmilkday_2023
