- Carney's decision to scrap EV standard is a huge setback, no matter what his cheerleaders say While the rest of the world advances on EVs, Canada continues to lag behind at the very short-sightes behest of auto lobbyists bit.ly/3ZTxrsk

- So Carney took an axe to one of the last remaining pieces of climate policy There is NO reason to cancel a ban on single use plastics - this shows how beholden to fossil fuel interests he is Carney is destroying climate progress faster than any Conservative government
- So Carney is "consulting" over industrial carbon pricing...over the holidays??!! How much clearer can it be that he has no desire for public input.... So much for democracy www.canada.ca/en/environme...

- Human rights groups are sounding the alarm on Bill C-12, the government's border and immigration bill - calling it straight out of the Trump playbook "Canada should not be violating migrants’ rights, especially those of women and children”
- A must read from @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social Carney's deal with Alberta is "a fire sale rather than a grand bargain" "What is incomprehensible is that Canadians appear to be getting nothing in return for all that is being sacrificed." www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

- Austerity for everyone else, billions for the defence sector - that's the Carney way Forget climate action when we could be building weapons that kill
- What a bad take Either they have zero climate literacy or they're deeply beholden to Smith & fossil fuel interests....or both? One thing is clear, they don't care about climate science...or a livable future
- To everyone who though Carney's 'deal' with Alberta would result in stronger carbon pricing, it took Smith just a week to show how wrong that was www.linkedin.com/posts/dave-s...

- This is the technofix Carney's so excited about: World’s largest CCS project hits new low on amount of carbon captured and stored Not only has Chevron's Gorgon failed to hit its targets, its performance has declined significantly over time reneweconomy.com.au/worlds-large...

- In Connecticut, Exxon is on trial over their lies and deception to hide their role in fueling climate change Meanwhile in Canada, Carney has made it easier for oil & gas CEOs to lie to the public without any accountability by removing greenwaxhing bans ctexaminer.com/2025/12/01/e...

- Carney's dismantling of climate progress came as a surprise to many @woodsideful.bsky.social explains Carney's interest in climate was always re risk/opportunity to big banks As PM "Carney is using the Trump effect as political cover to pursue the deregulatory agenda he’s long wanted"
- Everything single thing LeBlanc says in this interview is wrong or misleading Is he grossly misinformed or just lying? www.cbc.ca/listen/live-... www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...
- Just listening to The House - maybe Minister LeBlanc should stop lying to Canadians The MOU will INCREASE climate pollution - it weakens/kills major climate and environmental legislation and gets nothing in exchange This new government has no integrity

- Reposted by Julia LevinA study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees. I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
- Do yourself a favour and read this excellent article from @arnokopecky.bsky.social "Pierre Pollievre might still be the official opposition, but everyone knows who the real conservative leader is now."
- In just half a year, Carney has dismantled almost all of the climate progress Canada had made over the last decade It's neck and neck between him and Trump for who ruined things fastest *of course, Trump has Carney beat on a long list of things like destroying democracy and people's lives

- Can we all finally agree these guys are oil and gas shills and stop calling them a climate organization?
- What a pathetic excuse for a progressive
- 👏👏👏
- This is integrity - and a harsh condemnation of Carney from the best climate minister this country has ever had 👏👏 @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social I hope others have the courage to be as honest about what a disgrace Carney is

- You know something is bad when even CCI is calling it out climateinstitute.ca/news/mou-alb...
- Is Carney dumb enough to think he's getting anything from Danielle Smith with this move? It's clear she'll withdraw support for carbon pricing as soon as it's convenient Or is he just pretending she's forcing his hand and doing exactly what he wants - putting everything behind fossil fuels..
- The federal-AB agreement is a love letter to fossil fuels -cancelation of critical policies (OG emissions cap & clean electricity rules) -public $$ for a pipeline (via Indigenous loan program) -more $$ for CCS, incl. enhanced oil production - only mention of electricity is for fossil fuels
- Carney needs some basic math skills Trading the emissions reductions from the oil & gas pollution cap and the clean electricity rules for *maybe* stronger industrial carbon pricing doesn't add up We do need stronger industrial pricing, but in addition to, not at the expense of, other policies
