We live in a country that instantly lowers its flags to half mast when a racist prince dies but barely lifts its head when a mass grave of 215 Indigenous children is discovered at a former government run residential school. #honouring215children

Devastating. I delivered a deputation today in support of this motion. My message was simple: I will not feel safe walking with my child in my neighbourhood until we slow down Cornwall. ABC councillors campaigned on a platform for "public safety"... exactly whose safety?

Instead of making streets slower and safer, the ABC majority on Council are slowing down needed changes. 😩 #Vanpoli

If this government will govern us through some of the most critical remaining years that scientists have given us to act on the climate emergency, The @NDP MUST make their cooperation contingent on a fossil fuel moratorium and ambitious, rapid just transition plan.

Federal - Reportedly, the Liberals and New Democrats have reached a tentative agreement that would keep the government in place until 2025, for exchange on NDP policy priorities.

Today, after 1,001 days behind bars, our friend Loujain Hathloul Alhathloul was released from prison! It's impossible to describe the level of joy and relief that. But above all, I feel so much gratitude. I am so grateful for every single person in the #FreeLoujain movement.

Today I bumped into my former MP @cafreeland mins after 27 youth were arrested at Parliament calling for a #GreenNewDeal When I told her this she didn't ask for more info, she didn't affirm her commitment to climate action, she told us to email her assistant. #OurTimetoLead

Time to show courage @theJagmeetSingh : we know #KinderMorgan doesn't have First Nations consent & is incompatible with the Paris Climate Agrmnt It's not Alberta vs. BC, it's not BC vs. Ottawa: it's a matter of morality. This pipeline cannot pass. Take a stronger stance. #StopKM

We're proposing the govt work with BC, AB & First Nations, to submit a reference to the Supreme Court of Canada to get greater clarity on these outstanding concerns. Rather than pitting one region against another, let’s take a step forward together #KinderMorgan

Excuse me?! Since the beginning of the pandemic, Canada has committed over $11 billion to fossil fuels. Billions to fuel the climate crisis is the LAST thing we need rn. People are struggling to pay their bills, support their families, and stay healthy.

Indigenous peoples are leading the transition to a low-carbon future. They are “the country’s strongest clean energy community. ” What if the $16 billion that went to the fossil fuel industry over the last few months was invested in these projects?
