What the Floods in Texas Tell Us About Climate Change “Regardless of where we live or how we vote, extreme weather puts us all at risk," writes Katharine Hayhoe.

“A flood doesn’t stop to ask about your politics before it sweeps away your home. Regardless of where we live or how we vote, extreme weather puts us all at risk: and we know without a shadow of a doubt that it’s getting worse due to climate change.”— @katharinehayhoe.com in @time.com #ClimateCrisis

Everyone welcome! Monday May 19th join me for a ride from Waterloo Public Square to St Jacob’s village for a coffee and back. 🚴☕️

I’ll be the one in green plaid and a bike helmet hanging around the Waterloo Bell at 1pm. 😉

We’ll hit Laurel Trail, Market Trail, and Heath Valley Trail to keep us off the roads.

'They're putting the First Nations history at risk,' says northern Ontario archeologist about Bill 5 | CBC News An archeologist from northern Ontario says he’s concerned about new provincial legislation that could exempt some archeological requirements for certain developments in an effort to build faster.

Bill 5 is a disaster.

In addition letting corporations ignore environmental regulations, labour laws and Indigenous consultation, Bill 5 will also let them dig up and pave over archeological sites.

The image depicts a scenic view of Saanich, BC, with a dark green overlay. In the centre of the image is a photo of Elizabeth May inside a light green semicircle. Below her image is large white text that reads, “Congratulations!” followed by smaller white text in all caps that reads, “to Green Party Leader.” Large white text reading “Elizabeth May” appears inside a green bar that matches the width of the semicircle above. Below this is smaller white text in all caps that reads, “on being re-elected in Saanich–Gulf Islands!”

Big congrats to Elizabeth May on her re-election in Saanich—Gulf Islands! We’re heartbroken Mike Morrice won’t return to Parliament. His integrity and drive for justice will be missed. Endless thanks to Jonathan, Paul & all our candidates who inspired across Canada.

We’re regrouping with clear eyes and renewed determination. Now’s the time to lean in.

Donate, volunteer, or share our message. Every bit helps us grow stronger. A new chapter is starting for the Green Party, and it’s one we’re writing together.
