#Canadians still want bold #climate action, so why aren’t we talking like it? https://reclimate.ca/talk-baby-talk/
@Greengordon Exactly. Carney and his gang of Red Tories will ramp-up the #violence against #Indigenous nations out-doing Harper et al. #SettlerColonialism coupled with #CorporateCapture kills.
"we have a situation in which a much stronger #NATO faces a much weaker #Russia than it did 40-50 years ago, but somehow we are to believe that the situation requires a higher level of defence spending." https://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/the-empty-case-for-canadas-five-percent-defence-pledge
2/ The world is on fire - but you wouldn’t know it inside #UNFCCC.
Civil society was censored. Polluters have seats at the table.
It’s time to end #CorporateCapture, ditch consensus rules, enhance rightsholders’ participation & hold States accountable.
#ClimateJustice
What if the UN Climate Talks @UNFCCC truly worked - for everyone?
#TheCOPWeNeed:
Majority decisions
Binding accountability
Open, transparent, inclusive talks
No more #CorporateCapture
Today, we stand united. It is time to #FixTheUNFCCC.

#Albanese government minister personally lobbied UNESCO in favour of ignoring #Woodside's destruction of the #Murujuga rock art.
#MurrayWatts, Minister for the Environment.
@VE2UWY Cons are all alike even when they call themselves Liberals. #CapitalismKills #CorporateCapture
#RepresentativeDemocracy is looking trash.
#CorporateCapture has #ClimateChange steaming on, #TaxLoopholes for the rich, #WagesTheft not criminalised, #ZeroTaxCorporations, ecological destruction.
And capture by #ProIsraelLobby has the #GazaGenocide ignored, excused, trivialised.
And there are the failures of; #AgedCare, #ChildAbuse in gov institutions, victimising the unemployed, #FOI, #IndigenousHealth, online bullying of children, FoxNews conspiracy propaganda ..

"From 2010-22, O&G received nearly one-quarter trillion dollars ($248B) in income tax deductions from capital cost allowances (CCAs), natural resource expense claims, prior year losses applied, and capital gains exemptions. The sector received an additional $16.6B in refundable tax credits. During those years, O&G ranked first among non-financial industries in tax benefits received." https://www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources/news-views/canadas-oil-gas-sector-continues-receive-tax-breaks-while-climate-commitments
Carney’s project legislation threatens #climate, #democracy and #Indigenousrights, says Elizabeth May. Exactly!! https://www.aptnnews.ca/national-news/carneys-project-legislation-threatens-climate-democracy-and-indigenous-rights-says-elizabeth-may/
Whoa! "Internal emails show how the mayor and city staff helped draft and pitch a proposal for a publicly funded, privately delivered urgent care centre in Airdrie, Alta." https://theijf.org/controversial-alberta-private-health-centre-helped-behind-the-scenes-by-airdrie-mayor-documents-reveal

#CorporateCapture of #RogerCook's government?
Saw the report of how quickly he leapt to smooth over an attack in Parliament on #Chevron too.
@StephenRees Both #Ontario and #BritishColumbia have been captured by #extractiveIndustries and developers. The #corporatization of these provinces intends to roll over #humanrights, #IndigenousRights and title, #ecosystems health, and liveable #environments.
"Carney has talked of the need “to build things we never imagined, at a pace we never thought possible.” Imagine if this ambitious, nation-building vision wasn’t restricted to the corporate world, but could include enterprises created and owned by all of us collectively." Yep! https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/theres-much-talk-about-building-a-stronger-canada-but-silence-about-the-one-strategy-that/article_011a34a9-3214-4bda-9a1b-839290c4d5d3.html
Whoa! "Bill 5 would give the Premier and his cabinet unprecedented control over the province, including the ability to exempt individuals and corporations from provincial and municipal laws and bypass consultation with #Indigenous communities." https://environmentaldefence.ca/2025/05/12/bill-5-is-an-attack-on-civil-liberties-indigenous-rights-environment/
"This fake firebrand was on the verge of victory. If Mark Carney wins, he will govern in Poilievre’s shadow." Yep, #Canada has lurched to the right and we have no political party that is committed to bringing government back to the people. https://breachmedia.ca/even-if-pierre-poilievre-loses-the-election-he-will-have-jolted-canada-rightward/
