Just some facts in light of the heat. Heat pumps can also cool. Nuclear power plants can only run at reduced capacity.

Break the climate silence! Pakistan scales up solar, the world loses a climate champion, and conversations spark action

Last year, Pakistan installed an incredible 22GW of solarโ€”more than Canada has ever built!

Pakistan initially committed to slash emissions 20% by 2030. But in 2021, it upped that commitment to 50%, as it's a win-win: switching to clean energy addresses poverty too.

Remember when banks were scrambling to respond to activist pressure and show they were climate leaders? In Feb 2021, Royal Bank of Canada announced they would put $500 billion into Sustainable Finance by 2025. Yesterday they abandoned that goal. Oh the good 'ol days.

If you want Mark Carney as our Prime Minister, donโ€™t take anything for granted today.

Trump won in part because too many people didnโ€™t think he would.

Think how youโ€™ll feel if Poilievre wins a close election & you didnt #VOTE for Carney.

This is no time to take chances.

TURNOUT WINS ELECTIONS.

Polls donโ€™t win elections.

TURNOUT wins elections.

Vote early on 1 of 4 advanced voting days.

Bring friends and family.

Donโ€™t assume anything or take anything for granted.

The consequences of getting this wrong are way too high for Canada.

Just ask the United States.
