The air heat pumps we use in Canada can.

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

Congratulations on your PhD, Adeboye and Vasu. This is an outstanding achievement. #convocation

'A common-sense decision': Government to make solar panels mandatory for new homes in England Ministers expected to beef-up Future Homes Standard to ensure solar panels are installed on 99 per cent of new build homes from 2027

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 solar—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, don’t take anything for granted today.

Trump won in part because too many people didn’t think he would.

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

This is no time to take chances.

TURNOUT WINS ELECTIONS.

I am not a formal dress-code kind of person. But showing up at a funeral in a blue suit and red tie is not appropriate.

In times where so many try to instill fear and anxiety, let community love, mischief and even some belly laugh satire fuel our paths to a kinder, wiser, more humble and much more sustainable civilization. Thanks @gurdeep.ca ✨🔥🎶

When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.

I was #voting early today. You can use the long weekend to go and #vote #Canada #elections

Polls don’t win elections.

TURNOUT wins elections.

Vote early on 1 of 4 advanced voting days.

Bring friends and family.

Don’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.

Harvard University Harvard University is devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders who make a difference globally.

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu
