Canada's already into our 2nd worst wildfire season in recorded history & Albertans will AGAIN breathe historically WILD smoke hours in the 100s, so can we REALLY be talking about more #Pipelines in 2025? Hub co-founder @jvipondmd.bsky.social on the latest! #yyc www.podcastics.com/episode/3704...

On this month's #ClimateLens, we were very lucky to be joined by writer, conservationist and former superintendent of Banff National Park Kevin Van Tighem to unpack what’s really going on beneath the headlines & what’s at stake for Alberta’s water, land, and future. #WaterNotCoal #abpoli #yyc
#KevinVanTighem on protecting our land/water from foreign coal companies, a complicit provincial government, captured regulators & the alliance of Albertans across the political divide refusing to let our #EasternSlopes be sacrificed for a dying industry.

For nearly 50 years #BigOil slow-walked the world to disaster by lying about the danger of Climate Change & creating denial/doubt about the science & solutions. Our latest show digs in to a new report about how they're STILL doing it to our children in our schools
