Two different headlines, same day. Canada is on fire. Smoke everywhere. Yet Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Alberta Oil Premier want us to pay for another $40 billion tar sands pipeline We need massive public and private investments in renewable energy, not more planet-burning fossil fuels.

The death & likely extinction of this orca whale population will be because of @mark-carney.bsky.social & @juliedabrusin.bsky.social's decision to pay & build a new tar sands pipeline from Alberta to the coast. There's no mitigation measures possible. #greensky #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
75 of these whales remain. A new West Coast pipeline would be 'devastating' for them, experts say | CBC News
Multiple environmental groups are concerned the Alberta government's proposed oil pipeline route poses a risk to southern resident killer whales. They are protected under the Species At Risk Act, but ...

Weather forecast for Toronto is "Smoke". Not cloudy, not sun. Just "Smoke" as Toronto has the worst air quality in the world. Toronto is where the financial decisions to fund new oil and gas projects like a tar sands pipeline and LNG are made. Are you watching @mark-carney.bsky.social ? #greensky
Telling that the oped in today's Globe offering full-throated approval of Carney's pipeline straight-up ignores that Asia -- the market that's supposed to save Canada by buying all Alberta's oil and gas -- is pivoting to renewables. This is a policy built for 1996, not 2026.
Quite a Canada Day this year. We're paying for another pipeline *and* abandoning our climate goals. globalnews.ca/news/1194986...
New pipeline from Alberta to B.C. coast to be built as a private-public partnership | Globalnews.ca

Your voice matters! 💚 Every chance we get, we have to challenge the fossil fuel industry on its power and lies. 🛢️ The Tilbury LNG Expansion project comes at a high cost – one we can’t afford to pay. 💔 🧵 #GreenSky
As you take precautions to stay safe during this dangerous heatwave, remember who’s to blame: the fossil fuel execs who ignored their own scientists’ warnings decades ago so they could keep raking in profits while their polluting products supercharged climate disasters like this. #BlameBigOil.
Premier Smith wants to build a $35 billion pipeline to B.C.'s West Coast. 🤦♀️ Annddd, there isn’t an energy company committed to paying for it, meaning the public purse could be on the hook. 💰 This is a climate & economic disaster waiting to happen. 🗣️ Take action: https://stnd.ly/nopipelines

There is no good financial reason for Canadian public pensions to invest their members' money into the risky, malfunctioning LNG Canada project. The associated Coastal Gaslink fracked gas pipeline supplying this terminal was only built with the use of armed militarized police. #cdnpolitics
