  1. Fire up that Sunday morning coffee and catch up on the latest Climate Of Change. This month we asked #SethKlein what he thinks the #AlbertaElection results & calibre of climate conversation during the campaign season says about Alberta's readiness to take on the #ClimateEmergency.

  3. Alberta's failure on #ClimateEmergency Marker #5 (#LeaveNoOneBehind) feeds directly into Marker #6, making a clean sweep (or rather a dirty one) of climate preparedness failures this election season. It's official. We're 0 for 6. An F-

  4. Alberta performed abysmally on #ClimateEmergency Marker #4 which unfortunately doesn't set us up very well for #5. We already mentioned how #JustTransition was villainized by BOTH major political parties & the climate community had nobody speaking to/for them.

  8. What #YYC went through just 2 days before a debate night (and indeed election) that entirely ignored it, #NewYork's going through today & the imagery is equally horrific. Alberta's emissions are far & away the highest in Canada & we just held an election where any talk of this was verboten. Again.

  9. #AlbertaElection2023 entirely ignoring #ClimateChange while #Alberta burned and #YYC experienced the thickest smoke of our entire existence was an omission so glaring it was reported all over the world. That's us making the wrong kind of news again & it took both of our major parties to do it. Speaks poorly about our perceived understanding or care about Climate's severity/urgency

  10. How did the #AlbertaElection perform on #ClimateEmergency marker #4? Woefully bad. Maybe the worst of the bunch. Alberta was literally on fire, smoke was as bad as its ever been in battleground #YYC & no leadership candidate nor debate moderator mentioned the link to #ClimateChange

  11. Doubtless Smith's now infamous call to Coutts blockade championing Pawlowski cost her some votes but not enough to lose. As a rule opposing federal mandates doesn't hurt provincial candidates in Alberta. That's a BIG PROBLEM for climate preparedness.

  12. Mandatory climate policy around the #CarbonTax was again used as a political cudgel this election. Having survived quixotic constitutional challenges #AlbertaElection2023 could've been the time for a fulsome debate on provincial rather than federal control of Alberta's carbon tax revenues. That didn't happen.

  13. What can we say about the #AlbertaElection & #ClimateEmergency Marker 3? A little history: Alberta was the last province to mandate seatbelts & stop smoking in bars. We've accepted only the rear license plate on our vehicles. We nurture and relish in an 'uncontrollable' #WildWest identity.

  14. Profitable oil companies laying off large numbers of workers immediately following provincial elections is becoming exactly the kind of tradition a #JustTransitionMinistry could protect against & ensure those people predictably lost in the shuffle have somewhere to go

  15. Just 3 days after the election there are now 1500 less #OilAndGas jobs for Albertans than before, this during an era of record profits for oil companies with #Suncor having earned a 76% increase in the 4th quarter of 2022 over the same period in 2021

  16. On to Emergency Marker #2. In the early days of 2023 Canada's Prime Minister proposed a new #JustTransition office to ensure affected industry workers don't get left behind in the #GlobalEnergyTransition, to which he was met with howls from BOTH of Alberta's party leaders.

  22. So what did this #AlbertaElection tell us about our #ClimateEmergency awareness? Nothing good. The closest we came to discussing Emergency Marker #1 was an attack on mission critical funding of the #NetZeroBy2035 energy grid upgrade

  23. As I feared, Alberta voted Conservative again and re-elected the #UCP.

    It's a sad day. I guess we'll see what they do now that they have another majority government.

  24. Danielle Smith used her victory speech to address coming fights with the federal government over Alberta’s oil and gas industry.

    Here’s a breakdown of what to expect from the UCP on the environment. via @DrewPAnderson #AlbertaElection #cdnpoli t.co/9SXXJTTJJz

  25. A friend snagged one of these from the side of a public road after the last provincial election. It’s still a relevant commentary on the UPC.

    Original perpetrator unknown.

  26. Whoever wins on Monday has the critically important job of LEADING #Alberta towards #NetZeroBy2050, which means important work needs doing NOW. Here is a policy we will be advocating for on Day One. We hope you'll join us.

  27. #EmmaJackson: "Canada’s Prairies Are on Fire. The Time for Bold #ClimateAction Is Now.

    Amid raging #wildfires and evacuations, #Alberta is grappling with political inertia. Fighting for a livable future in the climate-denying, oil-producing province will require a bold politics of #AntiAusterity and #JustTransition policies."
