🚨Breaking: The federal government just provided a public update about their plan to allow oil companies in the tar sands to release their toxic waste into the Athabasca River - a plan opposed by downstream Indigenous nations.

In short: the release option is still on the table. Full paper here: canada.ca/en/environment…

I will let the impacted nations comment on the alternatives considered and the quality of the engagement process.

The situation as a whole, however, is a problem. 🚩🚩🚩

Tony Keller's latest piece in the Globe and Mail is shocking, misleading, and honestly reeks of white supremacy. I will not link to the new low that @globeandmail reached today but let's break it down!
🧵 Image The TL;DR is:
1. On a per capita basis, his entire piece is false.
2. From a cumulative (historic) emissions, we have played a much larger role
3. China's rising emissions is in part a trade balance change, so we are still the polluters, we just exported it.

On the Hill just now, the President of the Alberta Federal of Labour @gilmcgowan and NDP MP @CharlieAngusNDP laid out their demands for the upcoming federal sustainable jobs legislation!

It is well worth a watch, below are some key points they made: ⬇️ First, Gil pointed out that @JonathanWNV and his team have been receptive to their feedback so far, which is really good to hear. Workers must be the ones informing the polices and programs of the transition that will impact them. Image

LIVE: Chief Allan Adam delivers an incredibly powerful testimony. His words leave no doubt: the tar sands situation is out of control and Canada must intervene.

See some quotes below: Image "The Alberta Energy Regulator is a joke. A complete joke." - he says, in order to explain why the Federal government must get involved

Today, Indigenous nations downstream of the tar sands are speaking at the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development (ENVI) about the recent Imperial Oil disaster. 🧵 #CleanUpToxicTailings #ImperialOilDisaster Image Imperial Oil’s Kearl site spilled toxic industrial wastewater into the environment. The Indigenous nations were not informed for 9 months!
This incident highlights the ongoing environmental racism occurring in the tar sands. #CleanUpToxicTailings #ImperialOilDisaster
