    Watching those in power fail to take real climate action has been painful. We’ve been given a clear deadline, and we have solutions available. With the right leadership and political courage, we can fix this.

    All Canadian leaders need to support Trudeau. Trump's outbursts, tariffs, amount to bullying. Trudeau is handling it as best anyone could.

    BREAKING: Green MPs will not give unanimous consent for calling Parliament together frequently until Public Health advice says it makes sense. Giving the Conservatives a spotlight in QP is not a reason to reconvene. #cdnpoli #GPC #COVID19

    Please read my statement on Prime Minister Trudeau's announcement this morning.

    I'm afraid it's not clear even to many in the media that - as of now- Parliament has a regular day tomorrow. All key parts of the running of parliament, all support staff, have to show up. I am appalled that Scheer would put so many at risk for partisan advantage. #GPC #cdnpoli

    If you are watching #QP and hear Pierre Poilievre say the PM "lacks the courage to stand" to reply to him, the PMO sched shows PMJT is in a meeting with Indigenous leaders. PP gestures at an empty seat as though Trudeau is in the chamber and scared of him. It is a bit childish.

    I am so touched by the respectful decision of the PEI Liberals, PC's, and NDP to join PEI Greens in a suspension of campaign events this weekend to mourn the loss of Green candidate Josh Underhay. Prince Edward Island is a very special place.

    This morning I shared my perspective as a leader with top-secret security clearance with the Public Safety and National Security committee. I want my colleagues to understand: *this isn't a game*. This isn't politics. A thread...🧵bit.ly/405Vwh5

    Such a glorious and happy day!

    Scheer is not an alternative. He also met with #SNCLavalin. And Scheer is unfit to govern when it comes to #climate. #GPC
    And this is the alternative to Trudeau. Scheer sending strong signal about indifference to climate change with this.

    As leader of Canadian Greens I have top secret clearance. Poilievre has refused to seek it. @CanadianGreens

    Replying to @RosieBarton
    Really? You have blackballed me for years.. I remember. You said "not on my show" Ever again. When I insisted climate science was not up for debate.

    This is a precious reminder. Gordon Lightfoot and me in the Amazon supporting the Kayapo & other tribes working to stop huge dam on the Xingu River. Gordon had donated his enormous talents in Canadian concerts raising $$ to support the protest. February 1989. #RIPGordonLightfoot

    I want my colleagues to understand: *this isn't a game*. I wrote to the leaders of all parties over the summer asking them to get top-secret security clearance so we could unify as a solid wall and tell foreign powers - we are not giving you space here. #foreigninterference
