Marineland says it needs money from Ottawa or its belugas will be euthanized | CBC News Marineland, the defunct amusement park in Niagara Falls, Ont., says it is rapidly running out of money and it urgently needs financial support from the federal government or it will have no choice but...

Time for Doug Ford to seize #Marineland and all of its assets, assume care for the whales and make an ocean sanctuary happen. Imprison the Marineland owners and seize their homes and sell them to recoup the costs. They enriched themselves on cruelty.

Je viens de déposer aux Communes une pétition citoyenne pour que Mark Carney adopte enfin une réglementation en finance durable.

Il y a 10 ans, il parlait de la «tragédie des horizons»...
2025, toujours rien!

65 % des Canadiens et 73 % des Québécois exigent un changement.

Last year, we were lucky enough to welcome Dr Jane Goodall to the Greenpeace stage at Glastonbury, where she shared this beautiful message of HOPE in tough times.

Rest in peace, Jane. Thank you so much for all the hope you gave to us all. 💚💚

Jane Goodall, Eminent Primatologist Who Chronicled the Lives of Chimps, Dies at 91

The impressive life of Jane Goodall. If each of us could accomplish a mere fraction of what she did, the world would be such a better place..

Thinking about and remembering one of the greatest, most compassionate and impactful humans: Jane Goodall.

We will miss you.

The light of the world is dimmer now with your passing.

Exxon to slash thousands of jobs in major corporate overhaul and comprehensive restructuring plan Exxon Mobil joins other oil industry leaders by announcing its move to cut costs by eliminating 2,000 jobs across its global workforce as part of a "long-term restructuring plan."

Hmmm! Exxon cuts 2000 jobs TotalEnergies announced Monday it hopes to save $7.5 billion by 2030; Imperial #Oil said it will reduce its workforce by 20% by December 2027; and Chevron laid off 15% to 20% of employees in February.

Canadian Gas Hits Sub-Zero as LNG Plant Hiccups Keep Supply High Canada’s benchmark gas price has tumbled to a record low as production hiccups at the country’s first LNG export plant on the British Columbia coast contributed to a surplus of supply.

But a really bad time to fast-track and invest in new #LNG projects in Canada as gas prices go negative, sub zero!

Since Carney’s speech and the Paris Agreement was signed, Canadian banks have loaned or invested more than $1 trillion to coal, oil and gas companies.

A decade after Carney’s climate wake-up call, financiers still hitting snooze Mark Carney's 'Tragedy of the Horizons' speech was a landmark moment for the financial sector to recognize climate breakdown was a severe threat, but a decade later he's flouting his own prophetic war...

Hey @mark-carney.bsky.social why is Canada fast tracking new #LNG projects when the price of gas is negative?

This is a tragedy and it's not on the horizon. It's right here right now.

An overview of the data and report can be found here. It's worth the read.

It's clear that the time for voluntary action has passed. It's time now to litigate, legislate and regulate banks into taking real climate action.

The worst performers remain the Canadian and US banks including RBC, TD, JP Morgan, Citi, Wells Fargo.

Notably @group.bnpparibas has shown that you can be profitable and be responsible. Their ratio is 2:1 and its an improvement from last year. They are singular bright light in a dark banking cloud

Breaking and Bad: Global banks slow the energy transition by overfinancing fossil fuels and underfinancing renewables according to new report by @bloomberglp.bsky.social

Just 89 cents is going into low carbon energy for every dollar financing coal, oil & gas.

Exclusive: Canada may drop oil emissions cap as part of new climate plan, sources say Canada's government is in discussions with energy companies and Alberta about eliminating a federal cap on emissions from the country's oil and gas sector if the industry and province reduce their carbon footprint in other ways, three sources with knowledge of the talks said.

Lol.

Fires burning all over Alberta, Saskatchewan and BC this summer and Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social is getting ready to strike a grand bargain that would allow oil and gas polluters to continue to pollute.

Might as well have elected Pierre PoIlievre.

Bank CEOs Rake In Big Profits as Wall Street Ramps Up Fossil Fuel Financing The 65 biggest banks committed $869 billion to firms expanding the fossil fuel industry last year, a new report says.

Shame on the cowardly CEOs of these banks including RBC, Citi, and HSBC. Shame on the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) and UNEP FI who capitulated continuously to pressure to ratchet down ambition and waste civil society's time.

Net-Zero Banking Alliance Suspends Activities Amid Wave of Departures Banks including JPMorgan, Citi and UBS left the NZBA in the past year as they faced pressure from the Trump administration to ditch green pledges.

Breaking: The Net Zero Banking Alliance is dead.

Voluntary alliances never could solve the climate crisis. They were a delay tactic and a lot of greenwashing cover. It is not in the DNA of the world's biggest banks to voluntarily lead. They must be FORCED to do so.

Hannah Einbinder is awesome and a great supporter of the Retire Big Oil campaign. It's time private retirement funds get out of fossil fuels. Including the pension for actors @sagaftra.org

#Retirebigoil

We know a bad script when we see one, and continuing to bankroll fossil fuels is one story that’s headed for a disastrous ending.

It’s time to change the narrative and invest in a future that’s actually worth celebrating."

‘Wells Fargo is complicit’: seven arrested at climate protests outside bank’s offices Activists launch civil disobedience campaign in New York and San Francisco after company dropped climate vows

Wells Fargo is complicit in climate crimes. Time to step up the pressure on them.

Banks are funding the expansion of fossil fuels, growing climate pollution and contributing to climate-fueled disasters likes floods and fires. They've got blood on their hands.

In landmark opinion, World Court says countries must address climate change The United Nations' highest court on Wednesday said countries must address the "urgent and existential threat" of climate change by cooperating to curb emissions, as it delivered an opinion set to determine future environmental litigation.

Leadership and bravery by the world's top court:

The International Court of Justice said failure by countries to meet their climate obligations could, in specific cases, lead other states affected by climate change to litigate.

Unleash the lawyers. Sue.

More than 100 candidates — most in Canadian history — to run against Poilievre in byelection | CBC News Next month’s byelection in Alberta’s Battle River-Crowfoot will break the record for the most candidates on a federal ballot in Canadian history.

"It's a scam" says Pierre Poilievre doing his best impression of a cry baby.

No it's called democracy.
