Today in Ottawa, we announced the filing of a lawsuit against the government of Canada for violating its duty to prevent genocide.
Our clients, two Palestinian Canadians whose families in Gaza have been devastated by Israel's genocidal rampage, allege that Canada has violated their constitutional rights.
It is time for @JustinTrudeau and @MelanieJoly to answer for their support for Israel's genocidal regime.

This #WorldFoodDay2024, hunger is at an all-time high 📈as conflicts escalate and warring parties weaponize food—targeting vital food, water, and energy infrastructure, and blocking aid. This must end.

I’m delighted to announce that I’ll be delivering a keynote speech at the @Groupof78’s annual Citizens Confront the Climate Crisis conference. This year the organizing theme is: Building an exit ramp from “the highway to climate hell.”
I will be delivering my remarks virtually from 2-4pm Friday September 27th. I hope you’ll join us to reflect on the lessons and victories of @fossiltreaty

On March 24, 2022, the #ClimateAlignedFinanceAct was introduced to the Senate. Canada needs such legislation in its tool box to fight climate change and keep our economy strong. Let's hope #CAFA doesn't sit for another 2 years before becoming law. @JulieESegal @SenRosaGalvez

A leading expert on how to address the climate emergency, @SethDKlein of @climate_unit calls for progress on the Climate-Aligned Finance Act.
#CAFA
2 years ago the Climate-Aligned Finance Act (CAFA) was introduced in the Senate by @SenRosaGalvez. But it has yet to be adopted.
Canada’s big 5 banks have provided over $800 billion in finance for fossil fuel projects since the Paris Agreement! CAFA could fix that. It's time!

Global climate expert @Tzeporah knows:
1. Rules are needed to hold banks and pension funds accountable to cut their emissions - not count them - and
2. #CAFA is the missing piece of Canada's climate plan.
Canadian banks are some of the largest funders of oil, gas & coal in the world, and they're under-funding renewables. We need to force the banks to stop funding the problem and start funding the solution, and implement @SenRosaGalvez's Climate-Aligned Finance Act. #CAFA #cdnpoli

🎂Today is the two-year anniversary of the Climate-Aligned Finance Act and it STILL hasn't received a fair study in the Senate. 🎂
Climate-change is happening now and the Canadian economy is at risk. I am calling on leaders to sort it out, and implement #CAFA now. @SenRosaGalvez

Two years ago on March 24th 2022, the Climate-Aligned Finance Act was introduced. Despite hundreds of endorsers, including from 4/5 major political parties, rules to align finance with climate action is still the missing piece of Canada's climate plan.
Let's fix that now: #CAFA.

Today we celebrate the 2nd anniversary of Bill S-243, Climate-Aligned Finance Act.
#CAFA is necessary now more than ever.
While Canada has suffered through the worst wildfire season in history during the hottest year on record, Canadian banks are still financing fossil fuels.

Today marks the 2 year anniversary since the Climate Aligned Finance Act #CAFA was introduced to the Senate by @SenRosaGalvez - yet the act is still stuck. it's time to move it forward and similar policies to create a climate safe & resilient economic future.

The Ford government released their budget of No today.
It says NO to solving the housing crisis.
NO to tackling the climate emergency.
And NO to repairing the social services we all depend on.
We need a government that addresses the challenges we're facing in Ontario.
