Welcome to our community!

We are nature — all people and all species. We are interconnected, and what we do to the planet and to each other, we do to ourselves.

Let’s foster respectful, honest dialogue and make this space welcoming for all.

The PM said additional national interest projects will be announced in the coming weeks. This has us thinking about projects that prepare Canada for the future, not set us further apart. What national projects would you like to see funded in Canada?

PM @mark-carney.bsky.social talks about the future — but clings to the past. In a #climatecrisis, you can’t lead while holding on to fossil fuels.

Carney’s call to flood global markets with #LNG is textbook #petro-state sovereignty.

It posits the national interest as a licence to expand toxic fossil fuel exports and ignores people living the consequences of a destabilized #climate. ⬇️

Excluding nature investments and lumping clean electricity in with pipelines? Canada's pre-budget survey is looking a bit Trumped up. ☠️

Fill out the short survey and pick ‘Other’ for Q1. Demand nature funding and clean energy before Aug. 28: ow.ly/W5B750WN4ec
