"There's quite a lot of talk from our new PM #MarkCarney about becoming an energy superpower. I've been an advocate for becoming a #CleanEnergy superpower. We have everything we need to do that, all the raw materials & all the geographic advantage you could ever ask for. But more pipelines? Really?"

As promised, videos from the G7 Summit protests in Calgary in my latest Substack post.
Isa Carlin, Migrante Alberta: "There are undocumented children in this province who haven’t been to elementary school in months or years because of their immigration status."
"Temporary foreign workers on farms here in Canada face some of the most intense forms of exploitation and degradation. Many workers and their families face limited access to clean water because of their living and working conditions - eight family members sharing one bathroom, migrant workers living in trucks, agricultural workers denied the right to breaks and adequate hydration during hot summer months."

#Climate & #EnergyTransition are enormous/complex issues, where do we regular, non-super-powered Calgarians begin? It begins as a conversation amongst folks that share the same concerns & with the best available solutions/expertise at hand! The #ClimateConversations are BACK. Next up, #Ramsay!

You can address Canada's ever-worsening climate-jacked #Wildfire problem or you can build more pipelines but you can't do both. #MarkCarney #cdnpoli

"Independent media organizations are covering #climate properly, like the @nationalobserver.com, @thenarwhal.ca, @thetyee.ca. We need to support them not just by reading them but with our money. It used to be we subscribed to our local newspaper as part of being an informed person in society."

"Something concrete we can do is support the media that's telling the right story like CBC's #WhatOnEarth. #CBCAlberta greenwashes a lot of things & often ignores climate altogether. What On Earth does not. Let's celebrate them! They're doing great! Celebrate the media that's actually doing the job"
"The basic elements of any news story is the 'who, what, where, when & why.' If your story is about building pipelines & you're not talking #ClimateChange or you're talking about the wildfires and you're not mentioning Climate AND #BigOil, you're failing the very basic tenets of journalism."

It has been a while since I have posted a shot of our Moon. So here it is. The weather finally cooperated for this shot. It has just been day after day of clouds. #astronomy #yyc
Shot of NLC’s from the balcony. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen a display of Noctilucent Clouds to the North. For those unfamiliar with these clouds, Noctilucent Clouds (NLCs) are rare, high-altitude clouds that glow a ghostly blue or silver after sunset. They form in the mesosphere in the coldest part of Earth’s atmosphere, at extreme altitudes of around 76 to 85 km (47 to 53 miles) above the surface, making them the highest clouds in our atmosphere. #NoctilucentClouds #yyc #Calgary
"2018/19 had marching in the streets, media paying attention & #Climate on the front page. People cared because we were told it was a big deal. Now we're being told it's not a big deal but it's never been hotter & climate scientists have never been more worried. #OilAndGas pundits own the space."

I popped down to Calgary for a little Stampede hobnobbing - including the opening President’s reception, where I chatted to PM Mark Carney about growing up near Andy’s Valleyview IGA, and attended the fantastic Roots and Rhythm Intercultural Stampede Breakfast, hosted by the Calgary African Community Collective. #yyc #CalgaryStampede #MarkCarney #Alberta #cdnpoli
Happy #StampedeParade and happy 2 year anniversary to this fun moment from Stampede 2023!
What's funny is how many of the "F* Trudeau" crowd took great offense when I posted this. I never cussed in front of children, I didn't chase women into elevators, I made no threat & threw no rock. I just booed a greasy, bad politician & I'd do it again today if I could
According to top climate science leader #KatharineHayhoe one of the most important things we can do for the #ClimateCrisis is to actually TALK about it!
Our popular Community Climate Conversations program is BACK. Next stop RAMSAY!!!
