"Albertans will be returning to their voting stations this October to vote for their city's mayor & city council. The community or municipal level is where you, as a citizen, have the best opportunity to be heard, to engage & to see real action before your very eyes on the issues that matter to you"

"The results are there for all to see. Brexit was a dumb idea the UK now pays for every day. America reelected Trump only to see his tariff plan hurt Americans first & foremost. Alberta Premier Daniel Smith flirts with both separatism & #51stState capitulation, threatening Canada's very existence."
"In Alberta's last election both major political party leaders attacked a #JustTransition. More walkable, less car dependant #15MinuteCities were propagandized by the #AntiVax geniuses into concentration camps. The conspiratorial and fact-free are on the rise and somehow have been for some time."
"Our #CarbonTax (that put more money into the hands of more Canadians than it ever took away) was a victim of an empty #AxeTheTax slogan repeated obsessively by would-be leaders that turned a blind eye to our cities burning while our journalists & citizens largely failed to ask them for better."
"Cities across Canada have taken big, important steps on #ClimateChange but not big or not fast enough, not yet. Our lift is tough enough (and I mean for all of us, everywhere) without political leaders attacking the solutions while never providing solutions of their own."
"Calgary has a number of policy indicators in place but it's missing a few too, like 100% #RenewableEnergy target by 2050, mandatory #GreenBuildings standard to maintain a level of #EnergyEfficiency & a green building standard or bylaw or other tool to prevent new buildings from using #FossilFuels"
"Calgary made an #adaptation best practices white paper, a vulnerability risk assessment (a key input into adaptation planning), a natural asset valuation assessment as well as an economic analysis of the cost of inaction. Important steps as we start to see wildfire, intense heat & flooding impacts"
"Calgary did well on many of the policies that we looked at. I think one of the places where it really stood out was the city's work around #Adaptation. Most cities now have a #ClimatePlan & even an emissions reduction target but many are still a little behind on adaptation."
"Shout out to #NanaimoClimateHub who did a great job in public consultations encouraging City Council to be ambitious & to take that step. The proposal passed, & the bylaw came into effect in July 2024. Really encouraging! BC municipalities have the #StepCode advantage working for them."
"A #StepCode basically gives the municipality control over like how ambitious are they going to be according to what level they choose to implement. #Nanaimo was deliberating over whether they were going to fast forward the implementation of the zero carbon step code & go right to the top tier."
