Great news for Toronto! 15 elected candidates pledged to vote for a moratorium on AI data centres, a maximum temperature bylaw to protect renters, more trees and shade, cutting single-use plastics, and greener buildings. That’s a majority for these key environmental priorities. #topoli

Who’s pushing the content to our screens? Not only big tech, but also big oil 🙃 In our latest investigation, we found the receipts: www.desmog.com/2026/10/22/s...

One of the most divisive issues of the election was never really about bike lanes it was about who gets to be safe on our streets. But the data hasn't changed & neither has the message to our premier: Bike lanes save lives. #TOPoli #BikeTO #Bill212 @lanrickbennett.bsky.social @tomflood.bsky.social

Should Canada nationalize BioWare so we can release the new Mass Effect and fund all of our social services forever?

We have a winner: Overall, 60% of Canadians indicated they want to prioritize clean energy compared to 18% who said the same of fossil fuels. Broken down further, 1/4 (26%) said Canada should focus mainly on clean energy, while 1/3 (34%) said "both, but lean more toward clean energy.”

A secretive network of groups ‘shilling for Big Oil’ just got exposed. Great summary here by @rachelgilmore.bsky.social of a new report from Greenpeace Canada into the murky figures muddying our conversations about energy. rachelgilmore.substack.com/p/a-secretiv...

So much of Canada’s oil and gas conversation makes NO sense. But WHY is that? Well thanks to a WILD new report from Greenpeace Canada, the network of murky figures muddying these conversations about energy are coming into view:

Boom going bust? According to the provincial electricity system operator, Alberta alone has 44 data centre proposals which (if all built) would use 22.5 GW of power. The whole province is currently using less than 11 GW.

🇨🇦 Canada’s climate action is headed in the wrong direction, with the federal government under Mark Carney’s leadership steadily dismantling climate policies. We continue to rate Canada’s climate action as “Highly Insufficient”. Read our full analysis here: climateactiontracker.org/countries/ca...

The reckless expansion of mega data centers has gone unchecked for too long. An immediate halt on approvals for new mega data centres is the circuit breaker we urgently need. Sign the petition to protect our water and energy, and force Big Tech to put people before profits: act.gp/3We3MLO

Preventing the transition to clean energy: Canada’s policies to fight the climate crisis, protect nature and defend Indigenous Rights are a “problem". -- Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers thenarwhal.ca/fossil-fuel-...

These documents, prepared for a meeting of groups advocating for the oil and gas industry, were hiding in plain sight. Our latest newsletter:

‘Knowing our opponents’: how a pro-oil-and-gas group tracks journalists, First Nations and environmentalists. New research by Greenpeace Canada lays out a web of pro-oil-and-gas groups working together to influence public opinion on climate change thenarwhal.ca/fossil-fuel-...

The latest data shows the Canada-Alberta MOU agreement didn’t fix the problems with industrial carbon markets in the province. Carbon credit prices are still trading at rock-bottom prices—too low to incentivize big investments in emissions reductions.🧵 www.foundationeconomics.com/insights/260...

Canada's going in the wrong direction. Emissions are going up not down, a direct result of weakened policies. Planned oil/gas production increases will further increase GHGs. Despite Ministers' insistence that we're still committed to net zero in 2050, the policies needed to do that aren't in place.

What if Canada’s nation building projects could safeguard our sovereignty & our future? The Yes Agenda maps 110 concrete examples of what a clean energy future can look like. The solutions are at our fingertips. climateactionnetwork.ca/about/yes-ag...

This is good news: Heat pumps can significantly cut energy bills and pollution. Plus they're super-cool (yes, that's a Dad joke about how they can also air-condition your home in the summer) www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

1/8 🚨 NEW: We found a network of 30+ pro-oil front groups coordinating, tracking progress, and reporting back to their funders about how they are shaping energy conversations in Canada. It looks like that was supposed to stay under the radar, except they left their platform completely public 👇

Presentations and videos from a network of 30-plus pro-fossil fuel groups show a coordinated effort to influence public opinion on climate change, and challenge environmental groups, journalists and First Nations land defenders. @meyer.bsky.social has the exclusive.

Starbucks’ rollback of its climate commitments is just the latest example of why voluntary climate standards like net zero are only useful when coupled w/ credible threats of regulation or (gasp!) *actual* rules on climate action. Mini 🧵

Holy cow "government’s huge subsidization of this project – up to 90 per cent of a $40-billion pipeline with ownership split evenly between Ottawa and Edmonton – ....." What kind of a deal is that? esp cuz we're subsidizing the past world of energy markets www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Suncor is before the US Supreme Court today, trying to get a lawsuit from Boulder, Colorado dismissed. Boulder says Suncor and ExxonMobil should pay for some of their costs of adapting to climate change because oil cos lied about their role in causing it. Apparently not going well for them...

Congrats to the oil lobby, Alberta government and PM on getting us to a point where a relatively pragmatic editorial board can champion a new pipeline without even having to address environmental/climate concerns (save for passing carbon-capture reference). www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit...

From Bloomberg: The LNG book is los­ing its biggest Asian bet "Nowadays, LNG is failing on all three": It's never been clean and it's no longer cheap or secure. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

The fast-tracked Pacific Link pipeline is supposed to be contingent on the major oil sands companies going ahead with the Pathways carbon capture project. Let's review the math of this.🧵

Cdn PM's address citing wildfires to exemplify resilience of Canada's oil industry, a CCS project that will not offset added GHGs and a promise to produce the lowest-C (heavy) oil *in 2050* to argue that a Mbpd pipeline advances "Canada's climate goals." paulwells.substack.com/p/mark-carne...
