🧵 #Election results are in and Mark Carney’s Liberals have secured a minority. This proves that people across Canada reject Poilievre’s divisive, Trumpian-style politics. It’s a big win for our movement and all of us who worked to challenge Poilievre’s toxic vision of Canada.

Our climate can’t afford a single new fossil fuel project—yet big banks including @RBC spent over $429 BILLION on fossil fuel expansion in 2024. These banks are consumed by their greed at the expense of us all. We demand they #DefundClimateChaos NOW: #BOCC

We sent nearly 100,000 emails to MPs and Senators. It’s clear that people in Canada want real climate action and solutions to the affordability crisis, and we’ll make sure that @MarkJCarney knows there will be a political cost to approving fossil fuel projects. #BillC5 5/5.

#BillC5 is not the answer to building resilience. These are nation-wrecking projects that will enrich multi-billion-dollar corporations. They don't protect our future, they fuel accelerating climate disasters, like the current heatwaves, leaving everyday people on the hook. 4/5.

For months, Conservative politicians like Danielle Smith and industry executives have been knocking on Carney’s door to push ahead pipeline projects like the Northern Gateway pipeline. Projects that would line their pockets but scorch the earth. #BillC5 3/5.

This gives them the power to override existing environmental regulations and laws — including community input and Free, Prior, and Informed Consent of Indigenous communities. It's like Christmas morning to the fossil fuel industry. #BillC5 2/5.

🧵BREAKING: #BillC5 just passed through the Senate. This is a reckless power grab that will put corporations and polluters first. Cabinet can now fast-track the approval of any project they deem in the ‘national interest,’ including oil pipelines. 1/5.

ICYMI: Right now, the Senate is deliberating Bill C-5—an omnibus bill that would allow the federal government to fast-track corporate projects while ignoring environmental protections, public input, and Indigenous consent. Send a message to #StopBillC5 👉
