Wildfire fighters are defending what we love for low pay in life-threatening working conditions. And too many paid and volunteer firefighters lack the full crews and tools they need to stop fires now.

So much necessary regenerative work that Carney’s stupid investments in fracked methane gas (LNG) would torch
The Tyee@thetyee.ca · 5d agoSince 2020, Nupqu, Canada’s largest Indigenous-led plant nursery, has distributed about 700,000 seedlings a year at reclamation sites and conservation lands, replenishing mountainsides that have been altered, or are in the midst of being altered, by development. thetyee.ca/WhatWorks/20...
Thoughts on announcement of a buyer for 2MT/yr of Ksi Lisims LNG for "up to 20 years," wording consistent with financial uncertainty for LNG as importers transition to domestic renewables. So we're de-risking private investments with public $$ and regulatory concessions. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Cutting the fossil fuel emissions is necessary, and #Canada is moving in the wrong direction by increasingly subsidizing the very things that wreck the land, air and water. So upsetting to see Carney’s investment decisions get ready to torch the land as wildfires choke our breathing
