Which federal political party has the best platform to rapidly address climate change?

#cdnpoli #elxn44 #ClimateCrisis
The NDP platform promises to โ€œeliminate fossil fuel subsidies, taking on big polluters, and more.โ€

ndp.ca/climate-action๐Ÿ‘€
The Green Party (@CanadianGreens) promise to

โ€œEstablish Green Worker Training Programs that teach fossil fuel workers the renewable energy industriesโ€

greenparty.ca/en/our-vision/โ€ฆ
The Liberal Party (@liberal_party) promises

โ€œto Launch a National Net-Zero Emissions Building Strategy that will chart a path to net-zero emissions from buildings by 2050 with ambitious milestones along the way.โ€

One thing I noticed on the @liberal_party platform that didnโ€™t appear in the platform of the @CanadianGreens or @NDP is the term โ€œcarbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS).โ€

I didnโ€™t mean for this to turn into an analytical thread, but I have to call this out. Image
โ€œInvesting in carbon capture is a vain attempt to flog a dead fossil-fuel industry. Pumping money in can only be considered as โ€˜greenwashingโ€™ which will leave the fossil fuel sector with a plethora of stranded assets and economic losses in years to come.โ€

The folks over at @thejuicemedia have an excellent video explainer on what #carboncapture is and why CCUS is especially ๐Ÿ’ฉ

I managed to catch the beginning of the rally for #ClimateAction happening in #Edmonton today.

Hereโ€™s a short photo thread. ๐Ÿ“ท๐Ÿงต

Thatโ€™s a dirty, dirty, dirty list of sponsors.

Where are you sourcing your Orange Shirts from, @CalgFoundation?
Arc Resources backed Albertaโ€™s MAGA hat, laundering a truckload of money into dirty clothes.

.@TCEnergy took 1.3B for KXL after KXL was cancelled by Obama in 2015.

This tax money belongs to the citizens of Alberta, not the CEOs & shareholders of the oil-spill company formerly known as Trans-Canada.

โ€œGravel isnโ€™t rocksโ€ is my favourite example of Conservative logic today.

Is suggesting that throwing rocks at the PM is okay as long as the PM isnโ€™t bleeding where Conservatives are at these days?

Short thread: A story of the rabid right in pictures.
Right Now sold thousands of memberships to the Conservative party to help drag it even further into the right-o-sphere.
What kind of woman makes it her job to restrict the rights of women?

In #Alberta, this sort of thing would be a boycott of all #UCP-supporting businesses.

Need proof that the #UCP might be trying to suppress voting?๐Ÿ‘‡

Whatโ€™s that? You want even more proof that the #UCP is willing to suppress democracy?
