'Canadians are struggling to afford rent and the cost of living, and need more investment in education, transit and health care.'
"Carney is doing the opposite of that (…). He is selling our public resources without any guaranteed returns and at the same time growing industries that will push the world towards greater war and climate catastrophe."

David Suzuki: Canadians 'have run out of time to delay the radical and deep cuts in emissions that are needed to avoid climate chaos'.
'As UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says about the emissions causing climate change: "We are digging our own graves" and "we are in a deep climate hole and to get out, we must first stop digging."'

“A lot of the things (Carney) has done is to give himself and his cabinet sweeping powers and avoid public oversight,” she told the Star. “His whole major project agenda is ‘How can I keep American investors happy’ — because the largest contingent of people at this investment summit (in Toronto), 33 of the companies are American — so it’s still about keeping American investors happy while gutting environmental safeguards here.”

'The Japanese capital's high-rise business districts are often described as "concrete jungles" because of their stark urban landscape, and have increasingly been cited as a contributor to the heat island effect. In recent years, however, more greenery has begun appearing in the Otemachi area close to Tokyo Station, creating pockets of cooler air.'
'On a day when the ground surface beside the intersection reached 47.3 C, producing intense reflected heat, the surface temperature inside the forested area was 31.9 C, while that of the nearby sidewalk was 32.2 C.'

White House plans for #Alaska #OilAndGas face hurdles – including from Trump and the industry
President Donald Trump says he wants to grow oil and gas production and advance the goal of what he calls U.S. 'energy dominance'
The Conversation
Apr 24, 2025Excerpt: "In one of his first executive orders after retaking office on Jan. 20, 2025, Trump declared that the U.S. would develop Alaska’s #petroleum resources 'to the fullest extent possible.'
"The Biden administration had banned oil leasing in three areas of Alaska. One was all but 400,000 acres in the coastal plain portion of the #ArcticNationalWildlifeRefuge. Another was a 13-million-acre swath of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, a massive parcel of federal land west of the refuge. The third area was 44 million acres of the offshore coastal portion of the northern #BeringSea, based on concerns for #TribalRights and the #MigrationRoutes of #MarineMammals.
"Trump moved quickly to reverse all these bans, describing them as an 'assault on Alaska’s sovereignty and its ability to responsibly develop (its) resources for the benefit of the Nation.' And Trump went farther, expanding the available land by an additional 6 million acres in the petroleum reserve and another 1.1 million acres of the wildlife refuge.
"All those areas are home to many different types of wildlife, as well as Indigenous groups."

#NativeAmericans Hold #NationalDayOfMourning on #Thanksgiving
"'Thanksgiving' is a white-washed holiday designed to conceal its true origins of violence, #genocide, #LandTheft, and #ForcedAssimilation," - #IndigenousEnvironmentalNetwork.
Jessica Corbett
Nov 28, 2024"In contrast with Thanksgiving celebrations across the United States on Thursday, Native Americans held a National Day of Mourning, promoted accurate history, and championed Indigenous voices and struggles.
"Despite rainy conditions, the United American Indians of New England held its 55th annual National Day of Mourning at Cole's Hill in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Kisha James, who is an enrolled member of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) and also Oglala Lakota, shared how her grandfather founded the event in 1970 and pledged to continue to "tear down the Thanksgiving mythology."
"The past influences the present" and "the settler project" continues with racism, misogyny, and anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination, James told the crowd. "The Pilgrims are not ancient history."
"James took aim at fossil fuel pipelines, oil rigs, skyscrapers, corporations, the U.S. military, mass incarceration, and the criminalization of immigrants, and declared that "no one is illegal on stolen on land."
"Jean-Luc Pierite, a member of the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana and president of the board of directors of the North American Indian Center of Boston who helped organize this year's gathering, told USA Today that "while we are mourning some tragic history but also contemporary issues, we are also expressing gratitude for each [other] and building this community space."
"Coming together as a community for a feast and to express gratitude—that's not something that was imported to this continent because of colonization," Pierite said. "Indigenous peoples have had these practices going back beyond, beyond colonial contact."
This year's event in Plymouth included speeches about the suffering of Palestinians—as Israel wages a U.S. government-backed war on the Gaza Strip that has killed at least 44,330 people, injured 104,933, and led to a genocide case at the International Court of Justice—and of people impacted by extractive industries.
"The message from Indigenous peoples internationally has been consistent: that we need to center the development of traditional ecological knowledge, Indigenous knowledge, and move away from fossil fuel extractive economies," said Pierite. "At this time the world needs Indigenous peoples."

B.C. hereditary chief gets house arrest for #pipeline blockade
Chief invoked #Wetsuweten law for protecting land and water against #CoastalGasLink
by Betsy Trumpener · CBC News
Posted: Jul 03, 2024 9:23"Chief Dtsa'hyl testified that as a leader, he had a duty to protect Wet'suwet'en land, water, burial sites, and historic trails from the degradation of pipeline construction. He said his actions against Coastal GasLink upheld the traditional Wet'suwet'en law of trespass.
"During the sentencing hearing this week, defence lawyer Rebecca McConchie said the chief's actions needed to be understood in the context of 'the oppression of Wet'suwet'en people in colonial history and the ongoing issues with #UncededLand.'
"The defence said the criminal contempt case punished the chief 'for upholding #IndigenousLaw because doing so breached a #colonial court order.'
"The judge acknowledged that questions around the rights and title of unceded #Indigenous territory, as well as how industrial projects consult with #FirstNations, remain unresolved."
