    A few days ago the Alberta gov called my colleagues and I a bunch of « eco-radicals » for asking 🇨🇦 to regulate the country’s largest polluters - oil and gas companies.🧢 I don't have 7 million in taxpayer dollars for a PR campaign. But what I do have are some facts. 👇 #cdnpoli

    For the first time in my life I had to choke down tears talking to a journalist, about the 🇨🇦 government approving the Bay du Nord project. Doubling down on new fossil production while it could not be clearer this is the wrong thing to do is nothing else than heartbreaking. 🧵

    Quebec Premier @francoislegault: "The gov has decided to definitively renounce the extraction of hydrocarbons on its territory"💥💥💥 This is the result of YEARS of organizing and a signal for other provinces, Canada, and the rest of the world, right before #COP26. #cdnpoli

    Good that @JustinTrudeau has held his ground on carbon pricing. And - literally every environmentalist I know is SO TIRED of the convo being held back by politicking over this one piece of the puzzle. Here are some climate issues that could use more attention in next weeks 🧵1/

    IT'S REAL! 🥳 Quebec becomes 1st jurisdiction in the world to ban oil & gas exploration and extraction starting now. While 🇨🇦 doubles down on fossils, it’s refreshing to see leadership on the basics of a safe and viable economy. Bravo @JJulienCAQ #cdnpoli

    Meanwhile in 🇨🇦... According to the Alberta Premier, massive tailings spills that endanger Indigenous communities don’t constitute an emergency – but the potential for expanding cost-effective and proven climate solutions at a time when Canada is burning somehow poses a threat.

    Alberta is pausing all approvals for new wind and solar projects for six months to review where they can be built, how renewables affect the power grid, and rules about what happens to installations when they reach the end of their life theglobeandmail.com/business/indus… #ableg #cdnpoli

    As someone who is trained as an economist, I find it worrying when economists talk about the cost of climate action without mentioning the counterfactual that is the cost of climate inaction. #Elxn44
    Liberal climate plan likely least costly, most effective, says economist assessing main parties'...

    .@theJagmeetSingh has entered the chat, laying the blame for the climate crisis where it belongs 🔥🔥🔥 "We know what causes the terrible tragedies that are taking away people’s homes and safety. It’s fossil fuels. We need to cap emissions of oil and gas producers." #cdnpoli

    1/ Hearing a lot of « Quebec is renouncing nothing » after yesterday's announcement re: the end of extraction in the province. While Quebec’s economy is not as dependent as other provs on o&g production, here's why this decision matters. #polqc #cdnpoli

    Taking on this role with honour, and excitement. I'm looking forward to work with the amazing @CANRacCanada team to build on movement successes in 2022, as we tackle the mounting polycrisis, with the effects of our unjust, extractive and colonial systems more salient than ever.

    I had promised Minister @s_guilbeault an #EmissionsCap 🧢 if he delivered a policy framework at #COP28. I'm a woman of my word. Now we need his word to drastically accelerate implementation. Every day 🇨🇦's oil & gas industry is left off the hook is a day too many. #cdnpoli
