No more bankrolling the climate talks via sponsorship. Big Polluters only use it to greenwash their image and avoid responsibility for a crisis they have caused.

How will human rights abuses & environmental harm stop happening at Canadian mine sites abroad? By holding companies accountable 👉🏽 right here in Canada, where 50% of mining companies worldwide are headquartered. A 🧵on the urgent need for corporate accountability #GetAccountable
Saying NO to Canadian mining can be dangerous – including in #Ecuador, where Josefina Tunki (Pres of the Shuar Arutam People) is being threatened for speaking out against #SolarisResources' #Warintza project in their territory. #GetAccountable | For more: miningwatch.ca/blog/2021/8/31…
Communities near Canadian mine sites often have to contend with significant police violence. Latest reports from @raidukorg document killings and injuries of local residents by police assigned to #BarrickGold's #NorthMara mine in #Tanzania. #GetAccountable

What are we talking about?
Well, the #EUFarmtoFork and Biodiversity Strategies are two pillars of the #EUgreendeal hugely under attack from vested interest lobby groups, now cynically using Ukraine war as an excuse to postpone green policies.

We are already feeling the impacts of the climate emergency, with record-breaking storms, floods, droughts and fires. Yet, lobbyists for #bigpolluters continue to participate in climate talks & decision-making processes.
Here's an overview of CEO's climate reports from last year:
Here's an overview of CEO's climate reports from last year:
1️⃣ The outcome of COP26 spells disaster for people and the planet, in particular for the global South. Rejected by the climate justice movement, the final text mirrors the agenda of rich developed countries and their oil and gas industries.

2️⃣ At least 503 fossil fuel lobbyists, affiliated with some of the world's biggest polluting oil and gas giants, have been granted access to #COP26 , flooding the Glasgow conference with corporate influence.

Man kann es nicht weniger drastisch formulieren, das würde dem Anlass nicht gerecht: Im November 2020 räumen die Unternehmervertreter den Staat aus. Solch eine Regelung ist dem Steuerzahler gegenüber absolut unverantwortlich. #Umsatzersatz 1/13
Zunächst: Der Ersatz des Umsatzes bezieht sich nicht auf November 2020, sondern auf November 2019. Außerdem werden andere Förderungen nicht abgezogen, die es schon gibt: Kurzarbeit, und eventuell (?) der Fixkostenzuschuss. Warum ist das hochproblematisch? 2/13
Wer andere Förderungen für Kosten der Unternehmer nicht auf den #Umsatzersatz anrechnet, der bezahlt die Unternehmer doppelt. Sie bekommen ihre Personalkosten zwei Mal! Einmal durch die #Kurzarbeit, einmal durch den Umsatzersatz. Das ist eine massive Überförderung! 3/13
"The Green New Deal" is going to take movement tactics. Bullshit. It's global - sitting in the wings. Your consent is being engineered. Spending billions to have you demand & "fight" for it. They play with you like a cat plays with a mouse before it decapitates it. For fun.
Who else is tasked with building the social license required to implement the Global Green New Deal?

Today, the Bell Let's Talk flag was raised at the NB Legislature. Our governments, PM, & Premier tweeted about Bell. So, these governments support corporate mental health awareness raising campaigns, but don't prioritize mental health enough to adequately fund health care?

Every year, Bell Let's Talk Day pops up on social media for a week or so, and mental health struggles become top of mind. We tend to focus on depression and anxiety, which are serious and widespread in New Brunswick and Canada. And every year, I feel conflicted about it...
I want to state up front that I don't want to dismiss the need to end the stigma around mental health issues (for depression, anxiety and many more mental illnesses such as bipolar and schizophrenia). Many people are participating online, sharing stories and support.
Just like clockwork. World Economic Forum - the movie.
On October 28, 2019, the documentary The Forum, opened the 62nd edition of German documentary festival (DOK Leipzig).
Because "to change everything, we need everyone".

Director Marcus Vetter: "Eventually we have to overcome some of our preconceptions. The elite may not appear as evil as we think they are. There are good and bad people..."
con't: "The film is asking the question, 'Is there not maybe still a middle way, one in which everyone comes together instead of separating from one another?'"
Corporate monopoly of seeds & dominating research & breeding, poses a massive threat not only to #biodiversity but food sovereignty- Seeds bred for profit not for food security. Corporates also working to criminalise farmer seed systems & farmers' rights to share & breed #seed
Seed laws only speak to the commercial sector who are Privatising the commons of genetic resources. corporates then influence states to subsidise their privatised seed. #ResilientLivlihoods&ClimateJustice2019
80% of the world's food is produced by small holder farmers who also prefer their own seed over commercial seed. Local seed is adapted to local ecology & social contact, resilient to climatic changes. For farmers resilience is more NB than maximum yields #ResilientLivlihoods
