Perfect placement by the Globe and Mail. Climate disasters are indeed brought to us by RBC and all others who continue to fund fossil fuel expansion while national treasures burn. #RBCFossilBank #JasperNationalPark

Exciting news! Canada is showing leadership with the passage of the Sustainable Jobs Act, Bill C-50. This legislation requires govt to equip workers and communities impacted by the energy transition with the tools they need to thrive in the green economy. #Cndpoli 1/

For a just climate transition in Canada: we invite the government to implement Climate Transition Plans across the economy, and the Climate-Aligned Finance Act #CAFA, to help align our financial system with a safer global climate.

It's mind-boggling that our governments are still putting BILLIONS of public dollars into fossil fuels every year, working directly against climate action Canada must put an end to it this year w a strong policy to end all public financing for FF👇
🇨🇦's public finance institutions provided CAD 7.6–13.5bn annually (2020–2022) to the fossil fuel sector. With a policy to end domestic public finance for fossil fuels expected this year, our report outlines the scale of the problem + best practices. 🧵1/4 https://t.co/Kbi47rVdsP

Our new research in @sciencemagazine shows that no new fossil fuel projects are needed to meet energy demand in scenarios limiting warming to 1.5°C. We need bans & advocacy to build a #NoNewFossil norm https://t.co/3NvlvhLQqx

A social-moral norm against new fossil fuel projects has strong potential to contribute to achieving global climate goals

The Trans Mountain Expansion pipeline is a bad deal for Canadians, the federal government and our planet. The only question now is how best to mitigate the damage.

Great story by @CBCFletch. If the oil + gas industry is serious about meaningful climate action, they should be backing the Emissions Cap to the hilt. Instead, they're asking for taxpayers to prop up unproven carbon capture projects. @CAPE_ACME
