Deliberately worsening the global climate crisis that's raging ever further out of control to temporarily benefit foreign oil industry shareholders is Mark Carney's personal definition of "in the national interest." This is ecocidal anti-leadership. 1/ environmentaldefence.ca/2026/08/04/p...

Biodiversity, community & kindness are real wealth. Economic growth is a suicide pact. Seeking humour while forever opposing disinformation, hate & ecocide.
While a cyclospora explosive diarrhea outbreak is repeatedly linked with a 20% cut to US CDC & food inspection staff, it's wild how many LPC apologists casually dismiss Carney cuts to wildfire monitoring & food inspection with a derisive "of course the unions complain about increasing efficiency."
"Pathways is a non-binding pledge that enables expanded oil production, higher greenhouse gas emissions and billions in public subsidies for pipelines and carbon-capture infrastructure — This is not climate policy; it is greenwashing dressed up as national strategy."
Pathways is a costly climate fiction — and Canadians are paying for it
The 2025 Alberta–Carney agreement explicitly links pipeline construction to the Pathways project. Despite record profits — $37 billion for oilsands producers in 2023 — Canadians are being asked to fin...

"Healthcare is provincial, not federal." 1. The Canada Health Act is federal law. 2. The Canada Health Transfer is the single largest transfer of federal funds to the provinces. 3. Health is a responsibility shared between federal and provincial jurisdictions. 🔗s below.
30 universities colluded with cops & a UCP official to violently suppress constitutionally protected anti-genocide free expression on campuses and as soon as journalists began asking questions they started deleting the evidence. This rights-suppressing genocide support is too deplorable for words.
New reporting from @breachmedia.ca shows that Canadian universities operated a secret national effort to coordinate surveillance and policing of anti-genocide activism and encampments. breachmedia.ca/canadian-uni...
Carney "priorities." Ordinarily I'd take an hour to assemble a long string of links about every single thing this graphic says, which Carney supporters would simply dismiss anyway. This time I'll just put this out there share those depressing links when asked. But fuck this guy & his arson.
"We're not trying to appease separatists with this globally irresponsible climate arson. We just want to doom all of humanity to millennia of a brutal hothouse hellscape of violent scarcity entirely on its own merits because it's what we independently value!" isn't quite the defence he thinks it is.
New Pipeline Has Nothing To Do With Appeasing Separatists, Carney Says “The referendum, that doesn’t enter into the calculus.” www.readthemaple.com/new-pipeline...
The US State Department recently presented an AI-created map of Africa with every country wrong. Mark Carney is racing to embed AI tech, which cannot even reliably tell which country is which, deep into every aspect of what the Canadian federal government does with no effective guardrails.
"A US government map of Africa mislabeled every country during a state department presentation at a global conference in Brazil this week, causing a stir among attenders who took screenshots and posted them online."
LNG Canada’s original plans for its Kitimat, B.C, plant included a commitment to operate "without routine flaring." That commitment was later removed from submissions to the BC Energy Regulator, and in 2025, almost 10 per cent of all gas transported to the terminal was burned off.
LNG Canada dropped commitments to operate ‘without routine flaring’: docs | The Narwhal
For years, LNG Canada made environmental commitments in documents submitted to BC Energy Regulator (BCER). It removed them before the Kitimat facility launched

Whenever I say that I don't want Mark Carney to harm the environment or attack human rights or kowtow to tech billionaires, a whole bunch of his supporters show up to 1. insult me, 2. accuse me of being a conservative supporter, and 3. nothing else. There is no third thing. 1/
"Because Trump" or the more euphemistic "because the world has changed" is the favourite thought-terminating cliché of Carney supporters. Offer any evidence-based criticism of any Carney policy & you will hear that these unusually dangerous times require it. But he's making us *more* vulnerable. 🧵1/

Killing the carbon tax that he praised so much in his book is pure Carney: ✅ ecocidal ✅ a giant gift to the worst polluters ✅ a brutal body blow to the poorest and most vulnerable Canadians ✅ the opposite of the climate leadership he primed voters to expect pre-election shrlnk.ca/s/H1Iuvk9I
End of carbon tax rebates a financial hit for Canada’s poorest, research shows
Rebates were tax-free payments that compensated consumers for the cost of carbon taxes

To this PM, big oil matters, and your health very much does not. This colossal cut to health care will almost cover a new publicly funded pipeline & expanding fossil fuel infrastructure on a west coast port. Handouts to climate non-solution CCS will require further cuts. shrlnk.ca/s/7SgMK3Vs

Some men just want to watch the world burn. Apparently, Canadians elected one to the country's top job. Mark Carney's approach to the climate issue is apocalyptic. As climate impacts reach hardcore crisis levels, he's determined to make things even worse. 🧵1/ climatefactchecks.org/millions-aff...
The more I think about Max Fawcett gaslighting the country that "Mark Carney wants to make Canada more like Norway," the angrier I get at this particular bit of overtly partisan pure propaganda journalistic malpractice. Carney's policies are all about making Canada less like Norway in every way. 1/
We didn't stop producing asbestos because there wasn't a market for asbestos. We stopped producing asbestos because asbestos kills people and killing people is wrong. Fossil fuels kill people. Killing people is wrong.
Today's intense wildfires, floods, heatwaves and so on are barely a glimpse of what's to come, and it's not going to steadily get worse, it's going to nonlinearly get worse in sudden and unpredictable ways. Our world has changed, but neoliberal politics have not. 🧵1/ shrlnk.ca/s/rW1VHg3H
Nuclear's a poor choice for the economy, for human health, and a for the climate. But it's a very effective way to saddle the public with immense risks & costs in order to create immense private profits. Here's a Lancet study on some of those risks. 1/ www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
Only one fifth of burned forest areas over the last 4 decades were ever actively managed. You cannot have a "fuel-buildup from forest mismanagement" in vast areas of forest that *you were never managing to begin with.* Shut down this climate denier lie. www.theclimatebrink.com/p/canadas-bo...
Canada's boreal wildfires aren't just bad forest management
Higher fire season temperatures are strongly correlated with increased area burned

Cory Doctorow is a national treasure and one of the most important voices to listen to right now.
It's very hard not to love @doctorow.pluralistic.net when he gets stuck into something. This video really lays out the AI bubble clearly!
That red line is what the most intense El Niño of any of our lives looks like so far. While our "leaders" rush to make this crisis even worse. I cant even.
If Carney was even half as smart as his acolytes keep insisting he is, he'd be able to read the room, or the country, about how today's hardcore climate impacts are hammering us. His silence on it is deafening. If he were a tenth as smart as they claim, he wouldn't be expanding fossil fuels.
Stop pretending that only one party is responsible for making us more vulnerable to wildfire risks. The escalating danger we are in is a multi-party effort. NONE of Canada's major political parties has thus far taken this increasing risk seriously. 🧵 1/

This isn't funny trolling, and we're not laughing. This is the leader of the most powerful nation on earth reposting an image that threatens Canada and Greenland with annexation, a crime under international law, explicitly prohibited by the UN Charter.
Every time Canada makes a concession to be reasonable with the United States, Washington sees it as weakness. And they want more. This is Trump's message to the world after the deal on the Gordie Howe Bridge. Their threat to Canada remains serious.
What's most awful about the Carney era is the way LPC partisans are now convinced that simply saying the word "pragmatism" means that Maple MAGA's worst unethical policies are actually great leadership now, as long as they get served up by someone with the colour red on their campaign signs. 1/
Let's recall what Brookfield was up to while Carney was there before he stepped down to become PM, and compare that to his priorities, policies, and "values". 🧵
