Recent data from ALO & RPCO add ANOTHER layer to the already iron-clad case against Greenbelt removals. They also CONFIRM the need to rapidly upzone our neighbourhoods & aggressively densify existing plans for greenfield housing. #HandsOffTheGreenbelt

Big Oil created this crisis. Here’s the bill @CanadianNatural @cenovus @conocophillips @ImperialOil @MEGEnergyCorp @Suncor:

I have hope! Support for Matt Richter across Parry Sound/Muskoka is real. Signs everywhere and I’m hearing from so many people who are coming to the Green side.

Thanks @rollingstone for sharing Sleydo’ Molly Wickham & I's op-ed mobilizing fellow celebs to divest from @citynational & @RBC. We can’t allow these banks to use our funds to support the Coastal GasLink Pipeline. Learn more below & follow @gidimten for updates. #NoMoreDirtyBanks
The “bank of the stars” needs to divest itself from the Coastal GasLink pipeline or risk losing Hollywood's business, write @MarkRuffalo and Sleydo’ Molly Wickham. rol.st/3ER26LJ

As a short summary of today's AGM:
1. David McKay told Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs Gisdaywa, Ma’deek, and Na’moks - who came to express opposition to the CGL pipeline - that the CGL “meets the obligations of Free and Prior Informed Consent.”
This is not true.#RBCisKillingMe

This is strength and power.
We will not be defeated.
Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs lead march to @RBC headquarters to confront Canada's largest fossil bank on their funding of the @CoastalGasLink pipeline.

Today I spoke at the Royal Bank of Canada’s AGM to tell RBC shareholders about the devastation their fossil fuel investments are causing to Indigenous communities, including my own, in the tar sands. RBC is financing cultural and environmental genocide.

This morning, @CBCStephenQuinn asked me why I would run in a "safe" liberal seat as a first-time candidate.
I'm running because as an emergency manager, I'm tired. There is only so much we can do by reacting. We need government to step forward with long-term thinking. 1/
