Best get those matches in while you can:
Cricket is one of the sports most affected by flooding and extreme heat caused by the #ClimateCrisis. 😬

At least 500 dead in British Columbia alone in wildfires. Whole towns wiped off the map.
But @JustinTrudeau is surprised that the environment is a defining issue in the Canadian election. 🤯

Since Trudeau came to power, carbon emissions have risen every year. 😡

5% of Canada’s GDP is from oil and gas. Trudeau’s Liberals claim they want to use those revenues to invest in the transition away from fossil fuels.

The UN's 'Code Red for Humanity' report from the @IPCC_CH invites each of us to participate in this moment of truth, as individuals, communities, as human beings. Climate change has arrived in BC, and no one is spared.
Over 4 days in July, heat caused the death of hundreds of humans and billions of other organisms; wildfires rage out of control. Fossil fuels must be curbed drastically, starting now. The biosphere won’t negotiate anymore.
"Immediate, rapid, large-scale reductions" means NOW:
#StopTMX, cancel LNG, end fossil fuel subsidies, and protect all #oldgrowth forests and functioning ecosystems.

BREAKING: Today we joined 140+ groups representing 24 million people to call on @LibertyMutual @ChubbNA @AIGinsurance & other #TransMountain insurers to drop the climate-destroying, rights-violating pipeline: bit.ly/3i7MbMu

VICTORY! Thanks to fierce indigenous resistance, TransMountain tar sands pipeline loses lead insurer

Zurich will stop providing coverage for the controversial pipeline when its policy expires August 31, forcing TransMountain to search for a new primary insurer. Says Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, President @UBCIC "@Zurich has done the right thing...Hopefully @LibertyMutual & the
others insuring it do the right thing before the end of August & drop it too. Any company insuring TransMountain is complicit in violations of Indigenous Rights, because the proposed pipeline expansion doesn't have the consent of all impacted First Nations along the route."
#BREAKING a new coalition is forming to demand the federal government release the true costs of the #TransMountain pipeline.

Eugene Kung from @WCELaw discusses how it is harder to get access to information about the pipeline now that it is federally owned.
How is the Canadian government less transparent than a Texas-based pipeline corporation? #TMX #cdnpoli

“There is a good chance this pipeline will never be paid off” and the Canadian taxpayer will be left to deal the costs.
Sounds like a solid economic move in the middle of a #ClimateCrisis, huh? 🙃🤦♀️
