'We are in a fossil fuel climate crisis': former environment minister - B.C. wildfire situation 'explosive and extremely dangerous,' official says as thousands forced from homes
Former federal environment minister Catherine McKenna said the wildfires burning across Canada are clear evidence of a climate emergency. She said new temperature records are being set every year, an...

Time for Canada/provinces to make this possible here too. We should be allowed to have nice things that lower bills and emissions!
🇨🇦Joe Vipond🇨🇦@jvipondmd.bsky.social · yesterday"new state laws and safety codes are reclassifying these plug-in kits as standard appliances — meaning renters can finally treat home solar like a simple toaster oven, plugging a personal power plant into any wall socket and cutting electricity bills by up to 25% with zero landlord approval."
Followed with: And we have the solutions. Which are better, better and better!
Canada's National Observer@nationalobserver.com · yesterdayOne of the clearest descriptions of climate dynamics for laypeople that you’ll ever hear: “It will inevitably get worse. It will get worse and worse and worse.”
In the very near future, no one will believe we had a policy this good. www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/pe...

Danielle Smith is no stranger to using leverage to achieve her political goals — except when it comes to Donald Trump. It’s almost like those goals don’t include standing up for the rest of Canada. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/31/o...
Danielle Smith wants Canada to surrender
Alberta's premier is no stranger to creating, and using, political leverage — even if it creates the risk of blowback. So why is she so unwilling to do the same thing when it comes to Donald Trump and...

Behold, a steaming pile of self-serving dung from a recent Globe and Mail op-ed by two business leaders. Reality: the province is suffocating clean energy, no business has “stepped up” to build or fill the pipeline, and oil companies are minting massive profits for themselves, not the federation.
The 6 largest oil companies will collectively rake in $45B in profits in the second quarter of 2026 — nearly double what they made in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Canada, France, and Spain are battling record-breaking wildfires spurred by the climate crisis. Big Oil profits while the world burns.
“Today, trucks will roll, cars will cross, and governments will begin collecting tolls. But the bridge will remain a monument to a broken bond that may take decades to fix—and may never be fully repaired.” Well worth reading @davidmoscrop.com’s excellent piece.

Carbon pricing not only lowered emissions it gave more money back to the majority of people, especially to the poorest Canadians. Shame on all the cynical politicians who repeated lies about it. www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/pe...
I talked with both @cathmckenna.bsky.social and @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social for this story. "Oil and gas companies talked to me about carbon capture and storage, and made promises, for like a decade. We have yet to see anything," McKenna said.
I've been reporting on federal politics since 2008. My entire career I've listened to politicians talk about using carbon capture to cut industrial emissions. Carbon capture removed 68 million tonnes over a 24-year period. The oilsands added much more, 92 million tonnes, over a single year, 2024.
It is 2006. The government wants to cut emissions with carbon capture. It is 2016. The government wants to cut emissions with carbon capture. It is 2026. The government wants to cut emissions with carbon capture. thenarwhal.ca/canada-carbo...
Carbon capture promises by politicians span almost 20 years | The Narwhal
It’s expensive and unproven at scale. From Stephen Harper to Mark Carney, Canadian politicians have made promises on carbon capture — yet to be delivered

I’m very sorry to hear about Eddie Goldenberg’s passing. He cared so much about building a better Canada. I was fortunate to work with him as a junior lawyer at Stikeman’s and he was very supportive of my entry into politics - always full of political advice. Sending condolences to his family.

Canada has a choice: reduce exposure to oil and gas volatility, or fall behind in the global clean energy transition. “If we instead stay in bed with Trump and other global chaos agents, resisting energy self-reliance through electrification, Canadians will keep paying the price.” buff.ly/Mvy24Si
