Canada is close to fast-tracking a new West Coast pipeline by naming it a project of national interest. Yet the previous purchase of the Trans Mountain Pipeline (TMX) has shown returns on investment are unlikely to be significant and taxpayers could be left footing a multi-billion-dollar bill. 🧵1/5

Quote from Nichole Dusyk reading: "Another pipeline is not in the national interest. It's a subsidy for the oil industry at the expense of ordinary Canadians. Bypassing environmental rules to build it would continue a troubling pattern of trading public protections and dollars for fossil fuel expansion."

Mark Carney promised "elbows-up" nation-building. What Canadians are getting instead is a carve-out economy—where environmental protections, Indigenous rights, and labour standards are treated as obstacles to growth, write @shirip.bsky.social and Eve Saint.

The new rules of Carney’s carve-out economy

It has been one year since Mark Carney introduced the Building Canada Act in Parliament. Since then, a succession of new laws has hollowed out legal protections for the environment, Indigenous rights,...

Canada’s relative luck with wildfires has obscured the depth of our vulnerability, says photojournalist Jesse Winter. “I worry that it allows us to continue seeing these disasters as not personal, as something that’s happened to someone else somewhere.” https://ow.ly/QTz450ZuvIl

On the left: a photo of a man in the midst of a forest fire igniting the flames with a drip torch. He is wearing a hard hat. The image is a monochrome orange from the fire. On the right: text that reads “More firefighters and water bombers won’t solve Canada’s wildfire crisis. The focus on fighting fires has distracted us from preventing them.”

Ontario only has 150 wildfire crews. There should be 200 but people don't come back because the pay is so bad. There are also no helicopters anymore to bring the crews to the fires because the province ddid not renew the contract. Doug lied.

Deadline for public input on the federal gov's enviro deregulation discussion paper is July 22 – less than a week away.

#WildfireSmoke is severely impacting air quality in many regions across Canada. Keep yourself and your loved ones safe during smoke events: - Look at the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) for your region. 💨 - Stay indoors if you can. 🏠 - Wear a well-fitted respirator mask outside. 😷 🧵 1/3

Cleaning the air: 1 Box Fan & 1 MERV13 filter can make an air filter for $50 that actually works very well. Tape the filter to the back of the box fan and make sure the air flow arrow on the filter points towards the back of the box fan.

Mark Carney's made deep cuts to Natural Resources Canada that strip away science-based expertise on forest fires, "decimating capacity" to track wildfire activity. Only one forest pathologist now monitors the entire forestry system east of the Rockies. 5/ www.nationalobserver.com/2025/12/05/n...
