.@avilewis.ca' climate policy is a distillation of decades of movement demands. It doesn't tinker - it goes right to the heart of it: standing up to parasitic industries & installing institutions that serve actual human & more-than-human wellbeing. #climatejustice

Our podcast is my fave of the legacy pieces that @climateunit.bsky.social is leaving behind as we close our doors.
Check out the full six-part "Markers of Emergency," and catch me in great company with Jim Stanford, Seth & Erin on episode 5: "Leave no one behind". ππ½βπ½
Our latest Break in Case of Emergency podcast is out. @anjaliappadurai.bsky.social, @bcpolicy.bsky.social's Alex Hemingway and I unpack the federal budget. Have a listen π

New podcast episode ft. @1alexhemingway.bsky.social of BC Policy Solutions and @sethdklein.bsky.social about this week's federal budget.
We chat housing, climate, austerity, the big tradeoffs in the budget, and of course, Zohran Mamdani π
Most of the voices commenting on the budget today were unhappy, but I was struck by the CEO of a military drone company who seemed almost taken aback by how much of their work would be funded by this budget π€¨
05.11.2025 03:46 β π 8 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0Today's budget was underwhelming and troubling. Our leaders always have the choice of who makes the "sacrifice" β everyday people, the most vulnerable, big corporations, or the most wealthy. This budget asks us to tighten our belts while military & oil companies find themselves flush with cash.
05.11.2025 03:42 β π 23 π 7 π¬ 1 π 0It's winning time!!! Mamdani's win caps off a brilliantly run campaign and gives us a shot in the arm for what movements already know: that we can & will win by telling the truth, demanding big things & refusing to dance with the establishment. Now watch the doubters pretend they were in all along!

The numbers say it all:
π° Global North paid climate finance since 2015 = $280bn
π’οΈ Profits for oil & gas companies headquartered there = $1.3tn
Rich countries paid a fraction of their owed climate debt - while cashing in on the crisis they caused: oilchange.org/publications...
I actually don't think Canadians should prepare to make sacrifices so the military budget and AI investments can be scaled up, ultimately benefitting private contractors and big businesses.

No wonder it is determined to bring down the entire edifice of international humanitarian law - it's the only hope of protecting itself from consequences.
Btw: the allegations are significantly worse than bedbugs.
Full solidarity with the flotilla, which represents the very best of humanity.
And eternal shame to the European states who refused to protect it from Israeli assault and establish a corridor for aid to Gaza.
You are not seeing this slaughter live-streamed to your devices because Israel has murdered most of Gazaβs most prominent journalists in targeted assassinations.

Canadaβs sole LNG export terminal is owned by four foreign NOCs. Nation-building projects anyone?

Per these @cnbc.com charts and further to the earlier post:
Gold is trading above $3,900, poised to set yet another record high; and
Bitcoin is within 1% of its all time high.

Global Sumud Flotilla is live as Israel threatens to stop them from breaking the starvation siege of Gaza.
A reminder that they are not entering Israeli waters, but Palestinian waters.
Israel intends to violate international law once again.

It's impossible to imagine multilateralism solving climate or *anything* while genocide continues.
So these #COP30 demands are the bare minimum. Leaders from @lulaoficialbluesky.bsky.social to @mark-carney.bsky.social must adopt energy & arms embargos NOW π

Canada must step up to pay its fair share to the Global South, not as an act of charity, but as an act of unlocking climate action for all of us.
On this new podcast ep. from @climateunit.bsky.social I chatted with my colleague @helloitisdoug.bsky.social about mutilateralism under threat, the recent G7 summit, & why Canada must do its fair share.

I always say that one of the best gifts that @sethdklein.bsky.social has given us is his economic imagination.
This is a very important piece on the real economic vision (drawn from wartime lessons) needed in this chaotic moment: www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/02/o...

PP is no friend to the working class. Great analysis from @geoffdembicki.bsky.social mapping the Con's connections to fossil fuels, corporate giants and far-right elements.

Forget pipelines β the U.S. trade war is our chance to decarbonize.
