New investigation: Ontario’s gas plants aren’t “peakers,” they run almost all the time. #onpoli #ClimateEmergency https://t.co/tiZQn5rGW3

Thanks to @electrify_613 for this delightfully dorky shirt ⚡️

BREAKING: Premier Doug Ford says his government will completely reverse the Greenbelt land swap decision. “It was a mistake to open the Greenbelt.” #Onpoli

Let me make one thing very clear: Transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia have no place in this country. We strongly condemn this hate and its manifestations, and we stand united in support of 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians across the country – you are valid and you are valued.

Federal Health Officials and Dr. Tam today: - 5 year olds should get 2 doses of new Moderna COVID vaccine regardless of previous number of doses - 6 month olds should get 1 dose of the new vaccine - Wear masks during respiratory virus season even if you aren't sick

There is less than a week left to join the @OntLiberal party and have a say in the leadership race. Sign up here to join me in supporting Yasir:  https://t.co/yjUpaUyrMQ

It's clear Ford is not serving Ontarians. We need to start working now to defeat him. I'm happy to be endorsing Yasir for Ontario Liberal Leader. He's a thoughtful & progressive leader with the experience needed to be an excellent Premier. And most importantly, he can beat Ford.

Health costs of smoke-related air quality top $1B: climate change institute https://t.co/YrsMepLQnG via @ottawacitizen

Off to Montreal for the weekend with this guy who is very excited for his first @VIA_Rail trip!

Half the country is on fire and Poilievre is personally filibustering the most important climate budget in Canada’s history. These are his priorities and interests. I didn’t think it possible in 2023, but the CPC is worse on climate now than it was under Harper.

Another remarkable cartoon from @CH_Cartoon that really puts things into perspective. Fighting climate change shouldn't be a partisan issue. Fires, floods, and other climate disasters are a threat to us all. We can't afford to play politics with our own survival.

Our daycare has been around for over 50 years and this is the first time they remember having to keep kids inside due to smoke. Climate change is here and it’s already affecting our kids.

🌍Climate change is the biggest health threat facing humanity. That's why we are working together with partners across the country to protect individuals from extreme heat and create climate-resilient health care systems. To learn more: ⬇️ https://t.co/ddz20k1bMc

Got our heat pump up and running today and cancelled our gas account ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Thinking of everyone in NS right now. The Tantallon fires are looking very scary and not far from where I grew up in Bedford. Hoping everyone stays safe.
