The votes on this motion give citizens of Ottawa a very clear read on which Councillors deny the urgency of the climate crisis. You have a detailed climate plan and you are not funding it. You have not assessed critical infrastructure climate risks. #ottnews
Replying to @KatePorter613
#OttCity council votes 14 to 10 to delay this motion to use $9M in unexpected gas tax money for a fund for its climate goals. Pushed off to second quarter (ie. April, May or June) #ottnews

As an alumni, I support this action at @Carleton_U today. I brought a motion to the city of #Ottawa which we passed and staff are now tasked with working towards divestment in fossil fuel holdings. I would encourage you to attend today. #ottnews #ClimateActionNow

Rally for a #JustTransition in Ottawa on MONDAY. 2+ years since Trudeau first promised a Just Transition Act to support workers as we race to put the fossil fuel era behind us. Time to deliver. #NoMoreDelaysOnClimate Spread the word! And head to 350.org/JT to RSVP

Don’t let this go unnoticed! Canadian police forces are invading Indigenous lands right now and arresting Indigenous people for enforcing their own tribal laws. We must stand with the Wet’suwet’en people against this colonial violence.
UPDATE FROM COYOTE CAMP INVASION 2021 15 supporters have been arrested, all for breaches of the injunction. No criminal charges. They will be brought to Smithers for bail hearings tomorrow.

Taking a proactive approach to adaptation will save the country billions of dollars and cut the cost of eventual repairs to roads and electrical grids by up to 90%. The spending is, “small in the grand scheme of things compared to cities washing away.” thetyee.ca/News/2021/11/17/W…

The climate emergency has reached BC.
The deadly heat dome, the destruction of Lytton, the wildfires, the bomb cyclone, the freaking tornado at UBC and now severe flooding across the Lower Mainland . . . there are really no words. #BCStorm

The takeaway I got from #COP26 is that there’s more good people than bad people The number of individuals behind polluting industries are so few compared to the thousands of people in the streets marching for climate justice- we’ll overcome the challenge, we will not give up 💚
