#canada Despite growing discussion among political observers and environmental advocates about the government’s climate agenda, climate change remains well down the list of issues Canadians want Ottawa focused on right now. Just 13% of Canadians rank climate change and the environment among the top three issues facing the country today https://abacusdata.ca/climate-concern-remains-high-but-affordability-still-dominates-canadians-priorities/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#canada the changes made to Alberta’s industrial carbon market are simply not sufficient to put the system on firm footing nationally. In fact, the price of carbon credits in Alberta has actually declined since the MOU was signed. Industrial carbon pricing needed fixing when Carney took office, and it still needs fixing now https://climateinstitute.ca/the-evolving-carney-climate-plan/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#canada “With this agreement, the federal government risks doing significant damage to minimum national standards that will have broader impacts on Canada’s climate change efforts. Such standards are essential to maintain economic cohesion and avoid a dysfunctional patchwork of provincial policies with conflicting market signals https://climateinstitute.ca/news/mou-alberta-canada-risks-unravelling-canada-climate-policy/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Federal-Alberta MOU risks unravelling Canada’s climate policy

While promised improvements to industrial carbon pricing are positive and important, other aspects of Alberta-Canada MOU will undermine policy effectiveness across the country.

#canada The report's projections show Canada will fall well short of its 2030 climate goal — just halfway to its target of a 40 to 45 per cent reduction below 2005 levels https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/emissions-reduction-plan-greenhouse-gas-projections-9.7020385 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Alberta doesn’t have an immigration crisis - but it surely faces an economic crisis, if the government succeeds in chasing immigrants and investors away with its racist referendum questions. In the Senate last night, I rose to denounce the scapegoating of migrants, to tell some hard truths, and to laud the economic and social value of newcomers to Alberta, especially for rural renewal. I hope you will share and boost my remarks so that more people can hear them before they vote. https://youtu.be/to7o-4rwHKQ?si=wPe22Rknr7kgu5n4 #cdnpoli #ableg #abpoli #Alberta #Canada #SenateofCanada #immigration

#canada What was particularly remarkable this year was the exceptionally rapid rate at which burned area accumulated over a very short period of time. Estimates indicate that approximately 94% of the total area burned occurred during the five weeks between end of June and end of July (CWFIS, 2026) https://www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-change-canada-wildfires-2026/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#FirstNations #Yukon #canada Members of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation have witnessed many changes unfold across the far reaches of their traditional territory in northern Yukon. Tundra grasslands are being replaced by shrubs. Permafrost is thawing at an accelerated rate. Lakes are draining more than in the past. River and lake shorelines are eroding more quickly. And fires are burning within and beyond the boreal treeline https://brocku.ca/brock-news/2026/08/20-years-of-research-shows-how-climate-change-has-vastly-impacted-canadas-north/ #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #climate

Athabasca Sand Dunes The Athabasca Sand Dunes in northern Saskatchewan are the largest active sand dunes in Canada and among the most northerly active dunes in the world. This ecological wonder stretches for nearly 100 km along Lake Athabasca and is home to several plant species found nowhere else on Earth! #ExploreCanada 🇨🇦 #Canada https://www.tourismsaskatchewan.com/provincialpark/1414/athabasca-sand-dunes-provincial-park#sort=relevancy

Replying to
@DanielPatrick@social.vivaldi.net Yes there are a lot of Canadians here, also several instances for us. If you are interested in a list of instances please ask and I will send one. Also following the #Canada or #CDNpoli hashtags will help you find us. I am past retirement age so I understand the desire to keep it simple. 1/2 more 👇

RE: https://social.vivaldi.net/@DanielPatrick/117390014323673824 #Fedihelp Please. 👋 We have a new 🇨🇦 account who is unfamiliar with Mastodon/fedi phone apps, please read the quoted post and maybe offer Daniel a welcome, and some advice about Masto apps for iPhone? Thanks everyone. 😊 ( btw...he is a nice person and feeling a little lost here at the moment) #Canada

@markwyner@mas.to @TrueNorthSpice@mastodon.world @fname@kamloops.social @zazzoo@mstdn.ca thank you so much! I am using an iPhone. So I’m curious to know, does one just have to try all the apps to see which one one likes? I’m a retired 62 year old, slightly disabled due to the sundry symptoms of fibromyalgia. I’m a news junky. Especially concerned about climate change, I’m a gardener, artist, photography buff. My dog is central to my life. Gay, partnered for 21 years, I’m pretty far left on the political spectrum. Not sure what’s relevant, but in case it informs my decision I’m sharing it. It feels a little clunky here compared to the experience with threads, which is where I have been since it first started. I’m a fan of the app and have built a strong algorithm. But sometimes it feels like an echo chamber. Thanks again!

#canada On both days, flicking between stations, you would have seen chyrons crawling across the screen noting that Swiss glaciers had lost one-fifth of their ice in the past five years. Or that California had declared a state of emergency as homes washed away and a “Kelvin wave,” boosted by global heating, was closing in. Another caption mentioned fires in Indonesia burning through more than half the remaining habitat of endangered orangutans and choking cities in Asia https://www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/05/opinion/pacific-link-pipeline-fossil-fuels-climate-action

#canada o answer, actuaries (risk experts) must predict what the world will look like as far out as 2100, including how much climate change will cost. In the UK, the actuaries making those predictions are warning that the costs are arriving faster — and will be much greater — than expected (text available in “reading mode”) https://www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/05/news/actuaries-climate-risk-report-canadian-response #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
UK actuaries warn climate risk is underestimated. Canada's financial watchdogs won't say if they agree
Canada's National Observer

UK actuaries warn climate risk is underestimated. Canada's financial watchdogs won't say if they agree

Canadian institutions say they're aware of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries' latest warning, but not whether it has changed anything.
