An accidental activist. I kept waiting and waiting for someone to do something. Oh no, what if everyone else is waiting for me?!? Greed and apathy will not be humanity's undoing. Not on my watch! Get off the sideline lastgenerationcanada.ca

When @pontomtl.bsky.social pontificates we all take notice. Personne ne connaît les pilons comme un montréalais.

The @theglobeandmail.com Environment and Climate Change section is devoid of Environment and Climate Change news. Were anything newsworthy to happen in this space (140+ fires still burning Feb1, AB & BC at stage 5 drought, AB fire season starting early) where'd they publish the Oil and Gas news?

Headlines from the Environment and Climate Change section of the Globe and Mail front page. The three stories highlighted are all about the Oil and Gas industry, which is all it is ever about. Fortunately there's nothing newsworthy happening in the environment and climate change so this is fine...

As a result I was remanded in custody at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre overnight. My actions have consequences, and I'm willing to face those, but the consequences of inaction are far, far worse. Govt's main job is to protect its citizens, yet the Canadian govt does nothing.

My friend Gill took action with @lastgenca.bsky.social today outside Parliament to demand a national firefighting agency. She is one of many young people scared to have children because our govts are doing nothing about the climate crisis.

Late 80s "greenhouse effect" got a lot of media in Canada and is when I became aware, but it took the Kelowna fires in 2003 to make it tangible and wake me up. It was so dry that summer they closed all the forest trails around Vancouver, which is known for its rain.

This Christmas present for the fossil fuel companies will kill us all. Our govts aren't just failing to protect future Canadians, they are actively killing them. This is a knife in the ribs, a cord around the neck, a head held under water. This is horrific. Where are the police?
