Oil & gas companies -- emboldened by their influence over Trump -- are pushing Canadian politicians to jump on the same fossil fueled bandwagon But fossil fuels come at a huge price -- including the nearly **$30 BILLION** provided to oil and gas companies last year by the feds
🚨 In 2024, Canada handed nearly $30B in subsidies to fossil fuel companies, fueling pipelines & an aging industry at the expense of health, the environment, & our future. 🌍 It's time for sustainable energy solutions. 🌱 Read the full analysis 👉 https://t.co/APDbOW74PK

Guess who got a free pass from tariffs? Oil & gas! It's no surprise-they basically own Trump
We welcome President Trump's decision to exclude oil and natural gas from new tariffs, underscoring the complexity of integrated global energy markets and the importance of America's role as a net energy exporter. We will continue working with the Trump administration on trade

#Media - "Canada’s industrial carbon pricing rules mean that big polluters pay for their pollution. It’s a good model: corporations, like oil and gas companies, should be paying for the harm they cause to our air, land and water. And the rules work: they have effectively driven

The math is that if Canada were to spend $3.6 billion more per year to reduce poverty with a guaranteed basic income, they would spend at least $32 billion less on the costs of poverty. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
New PBO Report estimates a Guaranteed Basic Income can reduce poverty by 40% nationwide at a net cost of just $3.6B/year and 1% impact on hours worked. Poverty costs Canada $80B+/year.

From a former oil executive at Imperial Oil "Trying to revive Canada’s oil sands is a bad idea. It’s expensive, uneconomic and ineffective....large-scale oil sands investments aren’t coming back and production will decline no matter what Canada does" https://t.co/wvfvYV4cgb
