ICYMI 🚨 Doug Ford is trying to destroy Ontario’s local green building policies.
This housing bill will allow Ford’s developer buddies to cut some corners and save a few bucks, but those costs will just be passed down to us 😡
#GreenSky
Here is a nice case study from DeSmog that illustrates how petro-propaganda works through a network that, importantly, includes mainstream media like the CBC.

Background photo of Ontario. Photo of Doug Ford. “Doug Ford is selling out the climate and our communities. Again. He's putting corporate profits over our future. Here's how.”
Red background. “Ford just tabled a bill to kill local green building policies. Ontario cities have worked for years to build up these policies. Today, 15 cities use Green Development Standards to encourage new homes to use clean and efficient heating rather than polluting gas boilers and furnaces. Ford wants to squash them and keep us hooked on fossil fuels.”
White background. Photo of money at bottom of image. “Who Actually Wins? Follow the money. Enbridge: Enbridge serves gas to 75% of Ontario residents for home heating. It wants to lock in even more people to be hooked on gas. Big Developers: Ford's buddies save a quick dime by avoiding modern tech like heat pumps, leaving you with the bill later.”
Red background. Cutout image of a high rise apartment building in bottom right corner. “Buildings are Ontario's #3 polluter. We need climate action. But if this bill passes, new homes will needlessly pump out more pollution and add to Ontario's emissions when we desperately need to cut them. We can't build a climate-safe future if we keep building like it's 1990.”
You can’t make this up 🙄 Doug Ford is trying to destroy… local green building policies. 🧵 #GreenSky
BREAKING: The Canada Pension Plan, other Canadian public pensions, and banks attempt to profit from sinking $35 billion into ICE contractors ‼️ 🧵 #GreenSky
Tell your MP - Canadians don't want our money to support fossil fuel expansion. There can be no public dollars, no subsidies for #LNG #bcpoli #cdnpoli #cdnecon www.forourkids.ca/no_subsidies...

Meet Ron.
Ron lives in Falher, Alberta, where sour gas wells and pipelines cut across his land. When one pipeline burst near his home, the operator and Alberta’s energy regulator let it leak for days.
Toxic fumes filled his house.

TALK WITH OTHERS! NEW POLLING SHOWS : 58% of Canadians say transitioning away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy is more important than ever, in light of U.S. aggression. 59% believe Canada would be safer if it produced more renewable energy. 67% say reliance on oil and gas increases the risk of international conflict.
Canadians are strongly opposed to foreign aggression to secure access to natural resources. 70% say that it’s completely unacceptable for one country to use military force to take control of another nation’s resources. 72% percent say it would be unacceptable for the United States to have arrested Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to access oil reserves. 80% say it would be unacceptable for the United States to seize Greenland for its natural resources.
New poll conducted after the U.S. actions in Venezuela and threats to seize Greenland finds that a majority of Canadians believe made-in-Canada renewable energy is MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER for strengthening Canada’s national security.

Study: LA (and most cities) Could Get Rid of Almost Half its Pavement.
1/2 of the county’s paved surfaces could be redesigned to:
• Cool neighborhoods
• Manage stormwater
• Improve public health

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.
Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.
Beautiful and devastating all at once.
Trees give so much: they offer critical protection during heatwaves; they clean the air; they reduce stress; they suck up carbon; they mop up flood waters; and they provide homes for birds and wildlife. We need them!
Add your name to protect Toronto's trees!

Everything moves so fast now. It's impossible to give every event the care and attention it deserves, especially when the bar is "at least no one died."
But what happened in Portland outside the ICE building was evidence of yet another escalation—and a terrifying harbinger of things to come.
We stand with Minnesota ✊❤️ Selling armoured vehicles to ICE isn't Canada Strong. @mark-carney.bsky.social @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social STOP the sale of Canadian arms to ICE and #CloseTheLoopholes! act.gp/4jY60a0 @greenpeaceca.bsky.social

If we want a future rooted in peace, justice, and environmental integrity, we must reject narratives that silence truth or weaponize fear.
We must be clear: Criticizing Israel is not antisemitic. Silencing such criticism harms Palestinians and Jewish communities alike.
A green buildings policy in Toronto would spur heat pump adoption across the city, making homes safer, healthier, and less polluting. If you're a Toronto resident, send an email to your council member telling them to vote in support of the policy at City Hall now! act.stand.earth/page/88238/data/1
NEW: Hundreds of public servants are being let go at federal agencies that monitor climate risks, @natashabulowski.bsky.social reports
At least 60 people from across Toronto showed up yesterday at the Infrastructure and Environment Committee to speak to the TransformTO 2026 - 2030 plan, the need for a buildings emissions policy, and for clean energy.
We called for #climate leadership - and I think they heard us.
Hunger strike in British jails and no one bats an eyelid.
Please let’s get the word out.

Thanks to the Toronto climate community showing up in a big way yesterday - 60 of us! - the Building Emissions Performance Standards policy (BEPS), has been saved.
BEPS can set us on a pathway to retrofitting buildings to reduce emissions, protect residents' health, and create thousands of jobs.
CAPE released polling a few weeks ago, alongside the federal budget, showing that nearly two-thirds of people in 🇨🇦 (64.5 %) support stronger #methane regulations.

Toronto can’t hit its climate targets or lower bills while the Portlands gas plant keeps pumping out pollution 🙄
City Council needs to step it up, backing REAL solutions like #renewables, storage, & efficiency — & we must demand it! #topoli

"According to data from Media Radar, The New York Times took in more than $20 million in advertising revenue from fossil fuel companies from Oct 2020 to Oct 2023, twice what any other outlet earned from the industry" - @amywestervelt.bsky.social, Matthew Green & @joeygrostern.bsky.social

Our latest study found a notable lack of news reporting on the human health relevance of climate change in the world’s three leading carbon-emitting nations. Over the past decade, only 8% of climate-related articles included any mention of human health.
