Dear fellow 🇨🇦 worried about climate—if you live in a riding where the @CanadianGreens have a chance, by all means vote green. But if you live anywhere else, like Ontario, pls remember that the @CPC_HQ “climate” plan will INCREASE carbon emissions. That’s what’s at stake 😱😱😱
I have lived for a long time in a country where the perfect has been made the enemy of the good, and as a result there has been no meaningful federal climate policy. Do not let us repeat the error of our southern neighbours. Every megatonne of carbon we cut matters.
And if you’re wondering what is the source for the analysis of the Conservative “climate” plan, it is @MarkJaccard and you can read it here: policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/augu…

I'm looking forward to talking climate and carbon with @ryanjespersen at 10.40 Alberta time today! In preparation, here's a short thread with some interesting facts about clean energy in Alberta, the Texas of Canada. (Or perhaps I should call Texas the Alberta of the US?)
@ryanjespersen Here is a map from @Pembina showing the location of all the renewable, efficiency, and clean tech projects across the province. They estimate they account for over 10k AB jobs. Source: mapreach.ca/alberta/
@ryanjespersen @Pembina In comparison, oil+gas in AB accounts for 173k jobs - but that number has dropped drastically from 226k in 2014. This report estimates 12,500 jobs at risk due to low commodity prices, decline in capital spending + uncertainty re getting oil+gas to market. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

This would almost deserve a meme if it weren’t so totally deluded. It reminds me of asking our three year old son what he thought was the world’s greatest problem and receiving the grave reply, “dingos!”
(In his defense, a while before he had caught us watching a tragic Australian news report about how it was suspected that dingoes had dragged a small girl from the family tent while camping and killed her, and apparently it made a big impression 😱)
(There is no such defense for the acting director of the US Bureau of Land Management)

We are now entering a new paradigm. @charlesadler is calling out conservatives who threatened a Liberal cabinet minister and her children. Physically threatened. The (sic) kudatah boys are spreading across the country. 1/10
I heard a @cbcradio report that experts expect, regardless of who wins the election, the losing side will not accept the win. I beg to differ. In #ableg the hard right did not accept the NDP win. They sought to overthrow the democratic choice. 2/10
It is not Liberal supporters, or NDP or Green, who threaten to "take back" their province or country from the duly elected government. Let's drop this "both-sideism". It is only the far right that threatens violence if they don't get what they want. 3/10

Manipulation of procedures, lack of transparency (when the rules require it), dragged out debates to confuse or tire members and blatant violation of rules.

After chair vote, I got 4 different reasons why they switched from paper to digital ballots minutes before vote from DNC
Reminder: Ellison came up a couple votes short of Perez on 1st ballot, triggering 2nd ballot. In btwn both campaigns were to receive list of votes from 1st ballot (to lobby members in btwn ballots). Ellison camp never got it. Later reports showed Obama called members btwn votes.
There were more tactical games played that adversely affected Ellison.

Members of Ellisons team had been hired to lobby. It's normal. But they had no lists to use.

DNC comms leadership said "it would've taken too long and required more staff to count the names between ballots"

#CPC #Conservatives2018 Mr Hunt @foreignoffice @Jeremy_Hunt are you aware of the monumental diplomatic travesty you committed today? Donald Tusk was leader of Student Committee of Solidarity in Gdańsk from ‘81. He literally helped bring down the fall of Communism.
As context, his predecessor Stan Pyjas was murdered by the Security Bureau. Tusk risked his life to bring down communism, as did many others of that Solidarity generation. Can you pls show respect and try understand the people you’re negotiating with? Your Toryboy glibness shows
He joined Lech Walesa’s first post communist government, and later became a two term serving elected Prime Minister. He’s been President of the European Council. If the EU was in any way like the Soviet Union, Donald Tusk would be in a better position to say so.

How Total is integrating #climate into its strategy?
1/6
 We are positioned in fast-growing #lowcarbon markets, which means we offer an #energy mix whose carbon intensity is steadily decreasing.
2/6
In support of this change, we have created a tool for measuring the #carbon intensity of the #energy products we make available to our customers. That metric indicates the average of our products’ greenhouse gas emissions.
