Canadians are deeply concerned about the country’s #disasterpreparedness; 58% do not believe communities are ready for natural disasters, according to new polling commissioned by the Insurance Bureau of Canada.

We need a coordinated plan to respond to climate disasters.

Signing onto this @climatecaucus.bsky.social Elbows Up for Climate letter was a no-brainer.

IN FACT!!!! @civicgovernance.bsky.social has a report out now affirming how net-zero transition infrastructure is an unprecedented economic opportunity, with economic sovereignty as a nice treat on the side.

Why we need a #nationalelectricalgrid
⚡We need to double or even triple the total amount of electricity we generate
⚡Renewable energy is now cheaper to produce in 90% of cases than fossil fuel
⚡The grid can unlock tens of thousands of jobs alongside energy security for communities across the country

Climate Caucus @climatecaucus.bsky.social · 9d
In a national press conference and dozens of meetings with MPs and Senators, our message on behalf of the #ElbowsUpforClimate campaign was clear: nation-build projects 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 address both climate change 𝘢𝘯𝘥 economic precarity because the two go hand in hand.

Last week we joined with more than 16 different organizations to underscore why a clean E-N-W electricity grid needs to be a #nation-building priority for our federal government

A huge thank you to the @davidsuzukifdn.bsky.social for organizing these pivotal days.
