Just finished reading @garthmullins.bsky.social extraordinary memoir Crackdown. If you are looking to better understand addiction and the insanity of the war on drugs, I highly recommend it. Fantastic writing & deep insights.

Is Suzuki right that it's 'too late'? We are in an era of simultaneous wins and losses All of us who work on climate have long walked a razor’s edge between hope and despair, and the last few months (or years) have made it near impossible to keep one’s balance. But I would put the curre...

"It both is and isn’t too late. Those of us trying to move the public to action must hold with care the collective psychology of the moment, and engage in responsible truth-telling." @sethdklein.bsky.social #DrawTheLine #climatesky #bcpoli

Axing the EVs: Canadian sales plunge while global sales surge We’ve slammed on the brakes of EVs and started driving the wrong way. That's leaving Canadians even further behind.

Thanks. I'd say the claim was always dubious, but yes, somewhat easier in 2020.

Hello @gmbutts.bsky.social. A bit dated, but here's what Abacus found in 2020:

Notably, as Barry shows, Canada was on track to achieve our upcoming EV target in 2026 of 20% of vehicle sales, that is until our govts reversed policy course. Shows why govt shouldn't cave to industry calls to abandon EV mandates.

Just look at the deplorable charts in this piece 👆comparing Canada's EV adoption rates to other countries. Our fed & prov governments (and all of us) should hang our heads in shame.

Extreme weather is intensifying.

Food & energy costs are rising.

Environmental & human rights defenders are facing crackdowns.

All whilst billionaires profit & prop up industries polluting our land, air, & water.

What we do now decides our future, but instead of taking action, many governments are backtracking. They’re taking away our rights, breaking climate promises, & letting fossil fuel giants keep polluting.
