Methane pollution is continuously vented from O&G infrastructure and it’s supercharging global heating. And now with the MOU between Ottawa and Alberta, we can expect more of this because the #methane regs have been rolled back. 😠 #environment #pollution

The def't of stuck in the past = banking on + subsidizing fossil fuels while global demand for fossil fuel energy is dropping fast (even faster without wars) = being afraid of the hard work of transitioning to a successful economic future that costs less, is healthier, & has more and better jobs.
If you want to know what Canada LOSING the #GlobalEnergyTransition sounds like, it sounds like #MarkCarney 's Energy & Natural Resources Minister #TimHodgson 's miserable excuses & dodging of questions

We must RESIST this Prime Minister. He's a disaster for Canada

People who care about climate change are “dreaming nostalgically about the past.” - Minister Hodgson

Like I said, I'm so glad we are so rich and can keep funnelling $ to the O&G industry and that we are so big that we can leave a big mess. Let's face it, other countries can't do this tidily as we can. @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social @liberalparty.bsky.social

And I should know bc - kid you not - I went to a school named "Oil Companies School." Lucky for me, my dad survived WWII as a Croatian and learned early how to think independently and act with integrity. I grew up with his constant counter-cultural/consumerist messaging. We can do this!!

Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?"

My friends, that question expired years ago. (If you need receipts, my book Saving Us is literally a 300-page answer.)

The real question is: How are you PRACTICING hope?
