Does Chris Bowen MinisterClimate Change Australia & COP31 President of Negotiations not understand that his goal of “keeping the Pacific safe” & “ensuring 1.5 to stay alive” is completely at odds w/ new coal mine or 21 other fossil fuel projects Australian has approved? #preCop
7/ Canada needs a national project built for the economy ahead: clean electricity, efficient homes, public transit, Canadian manufacturing and abundant renewable energy. No one owns the sun and wind. That is energy security.
6/ National unity cannot be built on pipelines that divide Canadians or LNG projects that lock us into decades more fossil fuel dependence. Energy security means freedom from the next oil and gas price shock & preparing our communities for the fires, floods and deadly heat
5/ And just two days ago, Carney announced LNG Canada 2. LNG Canada burned more fracked gas through flaring last year than any other project on earth. At times the flare has reached 90 metres high. So much for Canada’s claims about producing the “cleanest LNG.”
4/ This amount of oil production blows our climate targets. At a time when 1 person is dying from lethal heat on the planet every minute and wildfires are forcing our communities to run while they watch our towns burn. More oil and gas = more fires. It’s that simple. It’s physics
3/ And this isn’t just about whales. Expanding the world’s heaviest, most carbon-intensive oil means producing more fossil fuels for decades, when the science tells us we need to be moving in exactly the opposite direction. You don’t phase something out by building more of it.
2/ It would run to Roberts Bank, bringing supertankers through critical feeding and breeding habitat for endangered whales. More tanker traffic. More underwater noise. More risk of spills. For the disappearing southern resident orcas, the stakes could not be higher.
So excited!!! ♥️🎉💪
Canada is being asked to make a $40B bet on the past. We’re told another oil pipeline will bring national unity, economic security & prosperity. We’ve heard this before. You don’t prepare a country for the future by betting billions on the past

“It’s as if we launched a war against nature, and that has turned place after place into something that resembles a war zone. The climate movement is a peace movement, a movement to end this war and its casualties.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
In the first year of PM Carney’s government, oil lobbyists had over 1300 meetings – that’s 5 times per working day. So if you have been wondering why Carney's government is expanding pipeline, oilsands, fracking, LNG and gutting climate policy. Here is your answer
BC was supposed to be different.
A climate leader. A progressive counterweight to fossil fuel politics.
But today, it’s becoming something else:
a case study in petrostate politics.
