For two years, a Sudanese paramilitary force has been massacring civilians—with Canadian-made weapons.

@nisrinelamin.bsky.social and Ismail Adam join @desmondcole.bsky.social to discuss how decades of Canadian mining interests and weapons smuggling makes Ottawa complicit in the war in Sudan.

1. This federal-Alberta pipeline MOU is even worse than I expected. Even before we get to the pipeline:
- exempts AB from net zero electricity reg (AB produces 44% of all electricity-related GHGs in Canada).
- delays methane reg by 5 years (75% redn by 2035 rather than 2030.

🚨 Prime Minister Mark Carney and Premier Danielle Smith are dreaming of a new oil tanker and tar sands pipeline project from Alberta to the B.C. coastline. Our response? Hard NO.

PM Carney called Ksi Lisims LNG a "project of national interest" last week. Watch this video to find out why that's far from the truth.

📣They chanted "When indigenous lands are under attack what do we do?" " Stand up! Fight back! " and "RBC off campus now!"

“At UBC Okanagan, we’ve already felt the consequences of a lack of climate action. The 2023 wildfires in the Okanagan forced an evacuation of our campus and devastated syilx lands – a direct result of the fossil fuel emissions banks like RBC keeps funding.”

Canada’s bill to combat #greenwashing just got, well, greenwashed. 🫠

In PM Mark Carney’s new budget released this week, he plans to weaken the Competition Act, despite its proven effectiveness in holding companies accountable to their public statements.
Ottawa plans to scale back ‘greenwashing’ rules, but companies say it’s not enough
Proposed amendments to anti-greenwashing legislation would revoke provisions that ‘are creating investment uncertainty,’ the government said in the budget

Despite a decade of net-zero pledges & sustainability promises, banks poured $429 BILLION into companies driving deforestation since 2016. Voluntary pledges have failed — it’s time to regulate finance.
