This is The Alberta Way™️ thanks to #DanielleSmith who would be eminently proud to see Trump copying from her playbook. Call it anything you like, so long as you don't call it #SmallGovernment, small c conservatism. You couldn't be further away from it. #abpoli #cdnpoli https://www.ft.com/content/8fc81250-33ef-486e-9322-15548ee897a7?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter_axiosgenerate&stream=top

"With Alberta’s municipal elections fast approaching, who better to have on than #BrentToderian to tell us what types of climate solutions we can apply at the local level for a safe & prosperous #ClimateSmart future & what types of policies must we avoid at all costs"

But yes the smoke sucks. In Calgary we breathe 100s of more smoke hours now than we did just 8 years ago. I assure you literally NOTHING has changed about how we manage forests in that time. What's changed, irrefutably, you total imbecile, is the temperature of the planet /6

And if it isn't Canada or America's west coast again it's Australia. Or Russia. Japan. You-name-it.

There's always been wildfires but it's never been this bad. Again, this was all predicted and every single chance we've had to fix it has been stopped in its tracks by a "leader" exactly like you /4

Another thing you can do is ARM YOURSELF WITH KNOWLEDGE for when you're talking with friends, family or even your elected representative. Don't let anyone tell you Albertans want coal mining on our #EasternSlopes. Recent polling shows a STRONG MAJORITY are against it

"It's important to connect #climate with other issues like #TransRights, #Palestine & of course, #IndigenousRights here in Canada. What #UNDRIP means, what #FreePriorAndInformedConsent means. Creating a broad united front of people who're fighting all these same injustices driven by #CorporatePower"

FUNDRAISING UPDATE:

An anonymous donor just donated $1000 to the Hub's fundraising drive (and why do we feel like this donor came from #Bluesky?). Every bit helps accomplish REAL #ClimateAction in Calgary Alberta!

Musk is remaking Twitter into a climate denier sanctuary #Denialism #Climate https://ketanjoshi.co/2023/03/28/musk-is-remaking-twitter-into-a-climate-denier-sanctuary/

It's not like there's any mystery whatsoever about why hurricanes are so much bigger, deadlier and more expensive these days. Climate folks have been warning you of exactly this for decades. It's time to grow up and face our problems now. #Climate #Milton #BigOil #WeatherControl #Disinformation #misinformation

This is just straight up sabotage of Alberta's economy for purely ideological purposes. In the face of a global energy transition the rest of the world is rising to meet this is the stuff of banana republics.
