📣What do we want?

🗣️The political will for evidence-based policies that would reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by diverting money away from fossil fuels, like industrial carbon pricing, climate-aligned finance, and methane regulations!

📣When do we want it?

🗣️Now!
Our team is grateful to read Emma's notes from her conversation with MP Patrick Weiler yesterday. We are living in "interesting times". When we listen carefully, we can find the way forward. PS we use Chatham House rules, so we don't divulge conversations. Have a wonderful weekend!

The MP for Ottawa Centre, @yasirnaqvicdn.bsky.social, just concluded a mutually insightful meeting with his constituents, Vanessa & Cecile, alongside our National Director Cathy & her husband, Sanjv Mathur. We are all feeling empowered and grateful following this thoughtful & engaging conversation.

To all the land defenders, water protectors and pipeline fighters out there and all who pushed hard for regulations to slow down the climate-killing industry that does not play fair, merci, miigwich and thank you for your work.
You will be remembered as good ancestors!

Oxfam calls it “Pollutocrat Day.”
By January 10, world’s richest 1% had already burned through their entire 2026 carbon budget.
Analysis shows the average billionaire’s lifestyle + investments generate 1.9 million tonnes of CO₂ every year.
This is climate injustice:

Very true.
Which ever country is the first to move to an entirely green vision will be the hub of the future.
Cheap, green energy makes industry cost effective, reduces household bills and thus boosts demand in the economy; not to mention the health benefits.
It’s stupid not to do it.

When I did my Masters in Carbon Strategy at UEA, I was told that Carbon Capture is all smoke and mirrors. It can be done but the energy consumed produces more carbon than it captures.
Only when we have >100% green energy will it be an option.

Time is now for energy transition
CCS is expensive, has never been done on a large scale and is a promise that consortia like the Pathways Alliance make but rarely seem to follow through on, unless heavily subsidized by tax dollars.

This is blatantly all about oil and it has ramifications that are too early to tell, especially considering the USA oil companies have invested heavily in Canada.

To paraphrase, Andy, one of our volunteers in Calgary:

"May future generations never live through an energy transition."
Trump: "The departure of Maduro makes possible an incredible future for both nations, Venezuela and the United States. We will more closely integrate the economies of two major energy powers in the Western Hemisphere."

We hold great hope for 2026, even as we face setbacks such as the cancellation of the consumer carbon rebate, and more

Simon Sharpe brings the data and case studies that show the seemingly impossible is totally possible.

When we lobbied on Parliament Hill this fall, one official told us:
“The fossil fuel industry is going to squeeze every last penny out of this government.”
In December, we hosted Senator Rosa Galvez.
