NB Power is hiding its radioactive plans - we need a risk assessment! - Coalition for Responsible Energy Development in New Brunswick NB Power and nuclear industry partners want to build a high-level radioactive waste pit in Northwestern Ontario. But they are hiding the risks of transporting

NB Power and nuclear industry partners are hiding the risks of plans to transport nuclear waste more than 2,900 km across Canada. Here are two ways to take action to help ensure there is a risk assessment.

Landmark court ruling a stark rebuke of Canadian position on climate change The ICJ finding is a watershed moment in the fight against climate change that should send shivers down the spine of the fossil fuel industry, while threatening to upend the legality of Prime Minister...

Huge climate win from the ICJ that sharply rebuked Canada which argued it was not bound by international law to seriously fight climate change.

Going forward “Canada's pursuit of mega fossil fuel expansion projects stands in stark defiance of the ICJ." www.nationalobserver.com/2025/07/23/n...

105 environment, labour, Indigenous and community groups released a letter today calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to prioritize building out Canada’s east-west electricity grid with renewable energy, while upholding workers’ and Indigenous rights.

Ontario must answer for its climate record A youth-led climate case is heading back to court. Following a ruling from Ontario’s top court, the stage is set for a resolution of this groundbreaking case.

BREAKING NEWS 💥: This morning, the Supreme Court of Canada ordered Ontario back to court to answer for its role in the climate crisis.

The 7 youth repped by @ecojusticecanada.bsky.social are one step closer to holding #Ontario accountable.

Guess what ACTUALLY puts Canada in a weaker position? Our dependence on volatile commodities - oil and gas - that can be weaponized by despots. You know what kind of Canadian energy Trump can't control? The sun and the wind. #cdnpoli

Yes, Canada needs to build infrastructure for the 21st Century: trans-Canada electricity transmission.

Should Mactaquac be replaced by wind power? The Mactaquac hydroelectric dam 20 km upriver from Fredericton is a major source of electricity in New Brunswick. Although only

The Mactaquac hydroelectric dam 20 km upriver from Fredericton is a major source of electricity in New Brunswick. Although only halfway through its expected life, it requires major refurbishment. Is spending $8.9 billion to fix a 60-year-old power generation station really the best path forward?

As election campaign kicks off, civil society highlights that tariff response and climate action must go hand-in-hand - Climate Action Network Canada (CAN-Rac) Civil society groups from coast to coast are calling on parties not to sacrifice Canada’s climate progress to Donald Trump’s destructive agenda throughout this federal election and beyond.

From the SMRs Education Task Force: Bulletin number 15 • March 2025:

Toxic radioactive waste is expensive to clean up. Canada’s contract to clean up its legacy waste is worth billions for a three-company consortium...two American companies run nuclear weapons facilities in the U.S. and U.K....

[Bulletin number / numéro 14] Yes! Net Zero Without Nuclear Energy / Oui! Net Zéro sans énergie nucléaire Bulletin number / numéro 14 • February / Fevrier 2025

The SMR Information Task force noted studies showing that we can reach net zero without any new nuclear energy. Canada should be following the lead of the many countries showing that we do not need nuclear energy to reach net zero.
