"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."

"If we don't know how we're doing or how we compare to other cities how can we map out where we want to be? Enter #ClimateRealityCanada's #NationalClimateLeague, an annual, comprehensive, cross-country, volunteer-led initiative that tracks the performance of Canadian cities on climate."
"Cities are really the place where the rubber hits the road in terms of making climate policy like tangible. Cities are the place where we live, where we get around, where we work, & some of the major areas that cities have control over have the potential to transform our lives for the better."
