“Our case is asking a simple question: where is the government’s plan to meet Canada’s 2030 climate target? If the Carney government believes its climate plan is credible, it should be willing to defend it in court.” - Sophia Mathur Sign the statement of support now >> ecojustice.ca/take-action/...

Thermal coal exports have more than doubled out of the Port of Vancouver in the past decade, driven in no small part by U.S. thermal coal exports. The kicker? The U.S. doesn't pay tariffs, fees, or taxes on thermal coal exports through Canada 🙄 #GreenSky 🧵

Truly alarming. Demand a public inquiry into Alberta’s oil and gas cleanup problem now >> ecojustice.ca/take-action/...

"“The problem is we have the best rules, but they're just not being followed,” [Dwight] Popowich said. “We don't need more new rules. We just need the regulator to actually regulate.”" We need to stop "drilling and dashing" in Alberta. Demand a public inquiry now >> ecojustice.ca/take-action/...

Recently, politicians and corporations have been ramping up calls to expand Canadian liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports in the name of "nation-building" — calling it a “bridge fuel”, a “smart economic bet”, and a "clean" energy source.

BREAKING: Today, Ontario’s highest court confirmed the next step in the groundbreaking youth-led #Mathur case — a new hearing at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. PRESS RELEASE 👉 ecojustice.ca/news/ontario...

Yesterday the Supreme Court of Canada confirmed that governments cannot place themselves above the law. Congratulations to Democracy Watch for this important victory.

Because we give U.S. coal barons a free ride, we don't have port capacity for Canadian exports that could produce cleaner jobs that build a better future for all.

Instead, Canadian communities like White Rock and Delta bear the health, environmental, and safety costs in return for nothing: no tariffs, no taxes, and minimal jobs.

For everyone's sake, Canada needs to power past coal. 75% of the coal being exported out of Vancouver is U.S. produced, since U.S. west coast ports can't handle the volume. 🧵 #GreenSky

“The situation with Trump isn't easy. I'm doing a bachelor's in economics, so I hear a lot about this. I think it's unfortunate that the approach the PM is taking [...] because even more conservative agencies, such as the IEA, has projected that oil demand will peak in the coming years."
