“Having high-speed rail is now seen as a requirement of 21st-century nationhood. With cars being problematic in so many ways, high-speed trains seem to have been blessed with good great fortune: they are beautiful, fast, elegant, modern and environmentally friendlier." @christianwolmar.bsky.social

I don't understand why more roofs aren't white, let alone covered in radiative-cooling paint.

Oil and gas assets are not state owned in Canada. There is no benefit to me from the sale. Carney frames the conversation as Canadian oil when it is privately owned.

It must be nice to be comfortable believing "Hey, the world is bad and we gotta put Canada's economy* first" or "Well, if we don't sell fossil fuels to everyone, someone else will". A liveable planet and human rights seen as luxuries we can't afford. Morally very convenient. * Foreign corporations

Along with us for the kickoff was our awesome new friend, Tish Forteath of #SoilJoy to tell use a little about the value of living #Soil, #Compost and all the LIFE you can find in the earth itself if you know how to look! Tish's website: www.soiljoy.ca #yyc #yycbiodiversity

During which time, PM #MarkCarney, no shit, flies to Alberta where he "COMPLAINS ABOUT" (and I quote) "BIBLICAL WEATHER" back in Ottawa then ANNOUNCES ANOTHER BIG, DUMB, BAD DEAL, WORLD BURNING PIPELINE. Knows better. Absolutely does not give a shit. Bankers gotta bank. #cdnpoli #ClimateChange

De-amalgamation worked great for Montreal. Toronto and Ottawa should pursue it. m.youtube.com/watch?v=xpFp...

Betcha he wants to increase Indigenous rights, especially when it comes to consultation on energy projects. Right? www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

HUGE news out of Mississauga Ontario, one of the most important urbanizing cities in Canada — Councillor @alvintedjo.bsky.social, who I was very impressed with while advising the city before the last municipal election changed everything fast, has defeated BOTH former mayors, and is the NEW MAYOR!

A pipeline to nowhere for a resource that is in end of life. But at least it going to cost $40 billion of our money. (Not including several hundred billion in clean up that well all be paying for and not the US companies pulling this shit)

Yet another reminder for all those out there sporting “I ❤️ oil and gas” shirts and bumper stickers that it doesn’t ❤️ you back.

@volts.wtf @markhamhislop.bsky.social I wish we could have these electric cars.

Distributed energy has big grid-boosting potential. Shayle Kann of Energy Impact Partners and Nick Chaset of Octopus Energy will discuss how to use it at Canary Live Bay Area, coming up on Nov. 10 in Berkeley. Get your ticket: https://canarylivebayarea2026.eventbrite.com/

Yeah, what a despicable way to be let go—hey? In the heat of “lower for longer” Cenovus laid people off on their internal org chart BEFORE doing it IRL. People were typing their names into the org chart to the point that the company had to lay people off on the fly.

"Among his accomplishments, Getson highlights a number of foreign trips representing the province, including attending a United States presidential inauguration." Going to Trump's inauguration on our dime is an accomplishment? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Give electors a bad choice & don't be surprised when they make bad choices about voting at all In the next provincial election Albertans will again choose between pipelines from the Left vs Pipelines from the Right. Just like last time. #BCpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli

As countries meet to rescue a global nature agreement, scientists warn of a ‘dramatic weakening’ of Canada’s biodiversity protections. @sarahkcox.bsky.social reports. #CanPoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/10...

💯 The article states if more than 50 people per site are laid off the province requires 4 weeks notice. Been planned for months I’m sure, just hoping us suckers vote away our rights and freedoms for the Broligarchy before they break up with us even more.

“An internal notice … instructs Calgary employees to work from home Tuesday, when they will be notified virtually if their positions are affected. The notice also says employees at the company’s Surmont and Montney operations have been told notifications will be delivered by phone.” —CTV News

Also with us for the kickoff were two members of the Hub's #Headwaters Protection and Restoration team. #WaterIsLife and Albertans face a water crisis. We need to reinstate the #CoalMining Moratorium, stop polluting & more! Learn more HERE: www.calgaryclimatehub.ca/chpr #yyc #ProtectOurWater

Lula re-election provides crucial “counterweight” to a conservative legislature that might otherwise open the Amazon to devt or weaken environmental protections -Christian Poirier @amazonwatch.org “Congress would have worked w/Bolsonaro to dismantle these safeguards." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/c...

The US owns more than 60% of the oil sands. ConocoPhillips announces lay offs—the moment their fall-to-the-USA plans were foisted—yet hat 🎩 in hand 🖐️ still for a 🇨🇦public-paid pipeline & CCS scam. #abpoli #cdnpoli Cc @mark-carney.bsky.social @naheednenshi.bsky.social www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Is this like the maybe surprising fact that Laval (the Mississauga of Quebec) has a mayor who wrote a book on car-free neighbourhoods?

Anyone who left Alberta for BC’s politics just learned that one cannot move away from our collective problems. 😩 Us Albertans better figure out how to create proportional representation in real life, without the legislation ASAFP. The powerful don’t GAF everywhere.🙏🏻 bc.locallink.ca/election-202...

we are in trouble. there's no denying it. and we're in a crazy alternative world where we're pretending everything is A-OK. It's not. Let's do more. Let's pressure our poliiticians to fight harder, for us.

"Clean air should not be a gamble for Canadian workers. The air Canadians breathe has changed. Workplace protections need to adapt to that reality."

Stop Bankrolling Fossil Fuels! I just signed.

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

Our First Nations traditional territory maps are progressing. We're likely a week away from completing our alpha build. This will replace the Native-Land.ca territory maps, which went offline earlier this year (though they have other maps still online). It'll go online at knowledgekeepr.com

Cleaning up photos today and found these gems related to new pipeline talks. Not in the nation’s best interest, @mark-carney.bsky.social. Getting the USA out of Canada is though.✅ #AlbertaDecided #justice #ruleoflaw #naturallaw #liberty #peace #security #integrity #resistance #nopipelines #cdnpoli

Schools, arenas and daycare centres are where community happens. But for many Indigenous communities these buildings are also aging and in need of repair. @yourcier.bsky.social is working with communities to address this problem, and their lessons are well-worth sharing. 🔗 buff.ly/PRIn7Sn

We met up on our bikes on a gorgeous Saturday morning at #JaipurBridge near #EauClairePlaza, our devices loaded up with the #iNaturalist app & ready to learn from each other & the world around us about Calgary's #DowntownBiodiversity (& there's more than you'd think!) #yyc #yycbike #yycbiodiversity

I was listening to the news this morning and heard Smith suggest that there would be another referendum in 2027 about stuff like bike lanes, etc Did anyone else hear this? F*ck me, as long as the UCP are in power we are going to waste all Alberta's money on culture war crap #ableg #abpoli

When governments that dishonestly brand themselves progressive betray that premise by magnifying inequality & corporate power, they make the escalation of fascist movements inevitable. This is just as true of Carney as it is of Eby. equalitytrust.org.uk/evidence-bas...

I did not vote for this. I do not want this. #SaveTheOrcas 💔 The extinction of the southern resident orcas could now have a name and a price tag: ‘Pacific Link’ for $44 billion of mostly taxpayer money,” Wilderness Committee’s conservation and policy campaigner Lucero Gonzalez said in a statement.

B.C. Conservatives celebrate election win by burning down old growth forest

Young people are taking the feds to court, arguing Canada’s climate law fails to protect their Charter rights. Ottawa says its control over climate change is limited. The trial could reshape climate accountability. @stefanlabbe.bsky.social's first for The Narwhal: thenarwhal.ca/canada-youth...
