David Suzuki Foundation: "Carney’s taxpayer-funded pipeline will cause climate and economic chaos" "People in Canada are paying the price — struggling with affordability and suffering through extreme heat — as this government treats yesterday’s fossil economy as the only economic strategy on the table. The rest of the world is racing to benefit from the clean-energy economy by swapping dirty fossil fuels for renewables, batteries and technologies powered by electricity." https://davidsuzuki.org/press/carneys-taxpayer-funded-pipeline-will-cause-climate-and-economic-chaos/ #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #CostOfLivingCrisis #ExtremeWeather #Heatwave #BCPoli #ABPoli #NoPipelines

'BC Green Leader to run in Saanich North and the Islands' "We’ve seen a near decade of a B.C. NDP government and every major issue has gotten worse," she said, adding that the Greens plan to focus on improving healthcare, taxing the "ultra-wealthy and mega corporations," and funding public programs. https://cheknews.ca/bc-green-leader-to-run-in-saanich-north-and-the-islands-current-green-mla-to-step-aside-1349599/ #BCPoli #BCGreenParty #NDP #ClimateCrisis #CostOfLivingCrisis #HousingCrisis

Daily Mail front page 2026-07-31: "Burnham admits oil drilling can ease cost of living" So could kidnapping foreigners and using them as slave labour, but we know that's wrong too. Drilling for it releases the extreme green house gas methane, long before it's burnt for transport etc. To ease the cost of living crisis, aka the cost of greed crisis, simply tax the rich. #costofliving #costoflivingcrisis #taxtherich #dailymail #andyburnham #burnham #oil #co2 #methane #greenhousegases

Harnessing solar power has saved Europe €20 billion between 1 March and 15 July by lowering demand for fossil fuel imports. 'Over the 137-day period, solar delivered average savings of €146 million per day. This is more than what France spends on defence each day.' Meanwhile, #Canada burns, and Mark Carney is trying to drag us backwards and force more tarsands pipelines on us. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/topstories/europe-s-booming-solar-fleet-has-saved-20-billion-in-gas-imports-since-iran-war-finds-new-analysis/ar-AA1ZSFCv #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #CostOfLivingCrisis #NoPipelines #NoLNG #Wildfires #Renewables #Solar

"Tell your MP: Canadians can’t afford another risky pipeline & tanker project" Despite promises that a new west coast pipeline would be funded by the private sector, Mark Carney & Danielle Smith want to spend tens of billions of taxpayer dollars on it, without letting Canadians have a say in the decision. Instead of spending that money on the actual challenges Canadians are facing -- housing, hospital wait times, grocery prices and clean drinking water on Indigenous reserves, to name a few -- our federal government is bailing out the oil industry again, even as Canada is dealing with floods, heat waves, wildfires and extreme weather. Mark Carney says Canada cannot afford to meet its climate targets. But what we really cannot afford is to spend tens of billions of taxpayer funds on a new pipeline project that will make the climate crisis even worse. https://www.wcel.org/blog/tell-your-mp-canadians-cant-afford-another-risky-pipeline-tanker-project #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #BCPoli #CostOfLivingCrisis #HousingCrisis #HealthCareCrisis #NoBailouts #Polycrisis

Submit your comment: A risky pipeline & tanker project is not in the national interest

The Alberta and federal governments are proposing a costly new west coast pipeline and tanker project – funded by taxpayers – crossing BC and terminating on the south coast at Roberts Bank. This project carries significant risks and impacts for the wildlife, ecosystems and communities along its route, including further threatening the lives of iconic critically-endangered southern resident killer whales and increasing health and safety risks for the densely-populated cities of the Lower Mainland

"Carney’s plan to sell more oil overseas won’t make life more affordable at home. Instead of tackling the climate crisis and investing in the solutions of the future that Canadians need, he is doubling down on costly fossil fuel infrastructure that will only make life harder for Canadians." https://ecojustice.ca/news/ecojustice-another-pipeline-proposal-at-the-expense-of-climate-and-nature/ #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #BCPoli #ABPoli #ExtremeWeather #Heatwaves #Drought #Flooding #CostOfLivingCrisis

Another pipeline proposal at the expense of climate and nature

Proposing a new oil pipeline to British Columbia’s southern coast exposes a fundamental contradiction in the government’s environmental commitments.

David Suzuki: "Small or big, new nuclear reactors are not climate solutions" Why are so many capitalist forces pushing nuclear over renewable energy? "Centralized power systems are easier to control, monopolize and profit from than systems based on energy sources freely available everywhere. And it’s easier to shift costs of fossil fuel and nuclear power plants to the public in the form of subsidies, taxes and higher electricity bills." https://davidsuzuki.org/story/small-or-big-new-nuclear-reactors-are-not-climate-solutions/ #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #CostOfLivingCrisis

David Suzuki Foundation

Small or big, new nuclear reactors are not climate solutions

Given the urgent need to quickly address global heating, it would be far better to put money into renewable energy and infrastructure, including a modern east-west renewable-powered electricity grid in Canada.
