While one Greenpeace campaigner says the legislation grants cabinet ‘unchecked discretion’ to circumvent environmental laws, for CSG Senator Clément Gignac, it’s ‘a very large positive step in the right direction’ for the economy.

"… in the face of clear evidence of current harm and the substantial likelihood of growing harm in the future, the prudent thing to do would be to reduce fossil fuel use as rapidly and as soon as possible. To fail to do so, and indeed to support fossil fuel expansion through continuing subsidies, weakening of regulations and ongoing private and public investment amounts to reckless disregard." "Clearly the expansionary actions of the fossil fuel industry, governments and private and public sector investors, in Canada and around the world, amount to ecocide." https://www.hilltimes.com/2026/09/24/fossil-fuel-expansion-is-ecocide-a-crime-against-nature-and-humanity/519219/ #Canada #CDNPoli #BCPoli #NoPipelines #ClimateCrisis #Ecocide #BillC39

The expansionary actions of the fossil-fuel industry, governments and private and public-sector investors, in Canada and around the world, amount to ecocide. While not yet technically a crime, their actions are morally unacceptable.

Premier Eby must choose: climate commitments or fossil fuels

Premier Eby has a choice. He needs to show he will prioritize climate action over the fossil fuel industry.

“A lot of the things (Carney) has done is to give himself and his cabinet sweeping powers and avoid public oversight,” she told the Star. “His whole major project agenda is ‘How can I keep American investors happy’ — because the largest contingent of people at this investment summit (in Toronto), 33 of the companies are American — so it’s still about keeping American investors happy while gutting environmental safeguards here.” https://www.thestar.com/politics/political-opinion/mark-carney-is-squandering-the-liberals-advantage-on-climate-change/article_58c00427-85fa-4987-a6e2-75d9cb967f16.html #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines

Althia Raj: Mark Carney is squandering the Liberals’ advantage on climate change

This summer, polling from the Angus Reid Institute found some climate-conscious Liberal voters were migrating to the NDP. But with U.S. President Donald Trump threatening Canada, it’s clear Carney has an open road to diversify the Canadian economy as he wishes.

'The Japanese capital's high-rise business districts are often described as "concrete jungles" because of their stark urban landscape, and have increasingly been cited as a contributor to the heat island effect. In recent years, however, more greenery has begun appearing in the Otemachi area close to Tokyo Station, creating pockets of cooler air.' 'On a day when the ground surface beside the intersection reached 47.3 C, producing intense reflected heat, the surface temperature inside the forested area was 31.9 C, while that of the nearby sidewalk was 32.2 C.' https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20260915/p2a/00m/0sc/004000c #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #Tokyo #Japan #Reforestation #ExtremeWeather #Heatwave #HeatIsland

“Destroying the critical habitats of at-risk species for infrastructure and fossil fuel projects is the approach the U.S. President is taking in the United States. It should not be Canada’s response to the trade war. Let's be better. Let's protect Canada's nature and at-risk species and their critical habitats.” https://www.equiterre.org/en/articles/epaulards-pipelines-campagne-canada #Canada #CDNPoli #BCPoli #ClimateCrisis #PolyCrisis #NoPipelines

Heatstroke alerts have been issued in 39 of 47 prefectures; officials are calling on residents to remain vigilant for heatstroke, use air conditioners, drink adequate amounts of water, take salt, and avoid prolonged outdoor activities. The extreme heat caused many people across the country to be taken to hospital for heatstroke treatment. https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20260723_05/ #ClimateCrisis #Heatwave #ExtremeWeather #Japan #NoPipelines #Kokushobi #Kokusho

'Just stop burning fossil fuels.' Scientists stress that our smoky skies only have one true fix | CBC News

Smoky skies in Toronto have led to new scrutiny of government efforts to fight fires and manage forests. But scientists say the realistic way to tackle the smoke is fighting climate change itself.

Smoke from wildfires burning in northern Ontario made Toronto the most polluted city in the world on Wednesday. Far-reaching damage from Canadian wildfires caused 82,000 premature deaths in 2023, including 33,000 in the US and 22,000 in Europe. #NoPipelines, not here or anywhere. https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2026/jul/18/the-impossible-choices-of-a-deadly-wildfire-season #Canada #CDNPoli #ONPoli #BCPoli #ABPoli #ClimateCrisis #Wildfires

“It’s not just about having more fires to fight, it’s the risk of operational collapse (…). When two or three fires break out simultaneously, we are forced to make immediate triage decisions.” “In the end, the response capacity is limited (…). When we face these huge fires, these extreme events, it’s like trying to put firefighters on a beach to stop a tsunami.” https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2026/jul/18/the-impossible-choices-of-a-deadly-wildfire-season #Canada #CDNPoli #NoPipelines #ClimateCrisis #Wildfires
