Canada is trading real and immediate harms for speculative long-term benefits. We need to think twice about the race to adopt AI indiscriminately across every sector of society and the economy. Major new @policyalternatives.ca report on AI: www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Canadians need to think twice about the promise and inevitability of artificial intelligence and be prepared to push back on the AI industry

Reminder that Carney has cut funding for Natural Resources Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Indigenous and Northern Affairs, and Indigenous Services. And he has rolled back climate protections, abandoned emissions targets, and is building more pipelines.

[Emerges from the smoke, coughing] I don't want my tax dollars paying for a pipeline

never fucking forget that our tomato of a premier slashed tens of millions from our forest firefighting and emergency preparedness budget so now yea we’re surrounded by toxic air and whole communities are burning down

I hope that when Liberal MPs who claim to care about climate change wake up coughing on smoke from a climate-fueled wildfire that is devastating First Nations communities in northern Ontario, they ask themselves: Do we really want to buy oil CEOs another pipeline? www.aptnnews.ca/national-new...

Wildfires in northern Ontario force First Nations to flee

Several wildfires are forcing members of a number of First Nations to flee their homes in northern Ontario.

The sky made orange and our lungs filled with wildfire smoke is a policy choice. When politicians like Mark Carney say that emissions are going to rise - we are choosing more of this.

ORANGE LEVEL WARNING - AIR QUALITY - for #HamOnt at 8:21 AM EDT. #ONStorm

The fact Councillors cannot ask invited presenters questions about projects they are proponents of, but the presenters are allowed to provide any general information they see fit, is an alarming precedent being set at #HamOnt Council today.

Hamilton Mayor Andrea Horwath has called a SPECIAL City Council meeting for Tuesday, July 14, at 9:00 a.m. Permission has been granted for McMaster University to present to the full Council on its plans for data centres at 44 Frid Street and a joint federal-McMaster centre on the Steelport lands.

It's kinda crazy how all world leaders seem to have just decided to give up on fighting the climate crisis and let the poor and middle class burn/drown/starve or whatever while they race to see who can make the most profit off that dystopia for the next decade or so

Even before Carney, for every dollar Canada invested in renewable energy, we spent $19 on expanding fossil fuels. Now we've abandoned any climate action beyond the most dishonest lip service, fully devoted to maximizing climate warming at top speed. environmentaldefence.ca/2026/07/09/n...

My latest. This story is based on FOI documents released before the Ford government changed the law. Under the new rules, the province will now be able to keep records like this secret.

Canadians haven’t abandoned climate. Their government has. PM Carney has dismantled Canada’s climate progress, but new polling from Abacus Data shows that the majority of Canadians — over 60 per cent — don’t think PM Carney is taking the climate crisis seriously enough.

Re-upping this story this morning. A landmark Superior Court case in Kitchener recognized the Charter Rights of homeless people. Doug Ford has threatened to reverse that. I spoke to the people impacted the most by this, the encampment residents. Please read and share this one widely.

PressProgress@pressprogress.ca · 2mo ago

If a judge who's ex-military can recognize that homeless people have rights, why not Ontario's premier? What Doug Ford should know about encampment residents: pressprogress.ca/doug-ford-ki...

It’s as if your neighbour decided they'd like to buy your house & then demanded the police evict you. Trying to get pre-approval for a pipeline from MPO without an actual route is an insult to folks who live in the region & to Indigenous rights-holders everywhere financialpost.com/commodities/...
