Trees help create healthy neighborhoods by removing pollution from the air, reducing stormwater runoff, reducing heat island impacts, providing wildlife habitat, and promoting mental and physical health by encouraging people to get out and walk in their neighborhoods.
Cities like Paris are showing that urban greening thru street & place transformation is just COMMON SENSE, for cooling cities that are getting hotter due to the #ClimateCrisis, and for reducing emissions, cleaning the air, and improving quality-of-life!

This lays out so clearly the argument for a Canadian economy NOT based on resource extraction that it makes one wonder: has the PM suddenly lost his mind, or is he playing a long game that's pulled the wool over Danielle Smith's eyes?

With TMX the federal Liberals basically did what Carney is promising to do—pushed a pipeline to the coast over BC and Indigenous objections. They even federally funded it, dispensing with the need for a business case.
It didn't even move the needle. Why would a second pipeline be different?
