I've been saying this for years.
Outside Canada, it's a totally different energy conversation.
Inside Canada, policymakers and business execs think it's still the 20th century.
The global energy shift is on. ☀️💨And once countries switch to renewables, they don’t go back.
But here in Canada, gov’ts are still acting like nothing has changed.
We must keep pace with the global energy transition — or risk being left behind.

In 2020, EVs made up just 4% of all car sales globally.
Their share rose to 25% in 2025 – and is set to grow close to 30% this year.
And by 2035, even without any new policy announcements, EVs could account for about half of global car sales 👉 iea.li/4tQLcEF

A new renewables revolution. A boom in increasingly cheap household batteries has cut gas use by a quarter in Australia and enabled electricity prices to fall by 10% in parts of the country. Bring them on here…..

🇨🇦"The long-awaited agreement between the federal government and Alberta was promised to strengthen Canada’s competitiveness and the effectiveness of key climate policies—but is, in reality, a step backward, says @RachelSDoran.

🔌📈Canadian EV sales jumped 75% in March compared to the same month last year.
“The anecdotal evidence that Canadians were increasingly looking to go electric was strong, but today’s numbers are unmistakable," says @joannakyriazis.

This is the most deeply researched piece on the state of First Nation land claims in BC (including the land thefts that sparked them) I've seen yet.
Focuses on metro Vancouver, but is emblematic of the province:
25 FN's here have filed title claims, but none are pursuing court action. All are negotiating instead. Remember when everyone thought the feds handed the whole city of Vancouver over to Musqueam? Yeah, no.
Hats off to @Gordon_Hoekstra

🇨🇦⚡️📉 Canada’s EV market may be turning a corner on its biggest barrier: cost. New data from J.D. Power shows the average EV now sells for $49,500, the same as the average vehicle, regardless of powertrain. #cdnpoli #EV

Wind and solar have now beaten fossil fuels in Great Britain for a record 15 months in a row
Just a decade ago, fossil fuels were generating four times more than wind solar
Now that's flipped: Since the Iran war, wind and solar generated twice as much as fossil fuels

Notably missing at #bcleg last night for a vote was @JohnRustad4BC — I've heard he has in fact left to go on holidays to France in the middle of the session.
Unless he plans to vote remotely (and I suppose theoretically he could) the NDP retain a majority w/out Joan Phillip.
