Today’s the day we can vote to bring back plastic straws

A new model of conservation finance in the Great Bear Sea, spanning 100,000 square km of BC's northern waters, proves nature can pay for itself. Unsurprisingly, First Nations are in charge. My latest, for Corporate Knights mag. corporateknights.com/natural-capita… via Corporate Knights

A few days ago the Alberta gov called my colleagues and I a bunch of « eco-radicals » for asking 🇨🇦 to regulate the country’s largest polluters - oil and gas companies.🧢 I don't have 7 million in taxpayer dollars for a PR campaign. But what I do have are some facts. 👇 #cdnpoli

Congrats to all every one of you beautiful people. Keep it coming.

I write a monthly climate column. How's this for a thousand words?

When you look up "cojones" in the dictionary:

A national hero. I can't think of anyone who did more to help us become a better society. The embodiment of grace, courage, wisdom and tenacity. And of course, humour. Let's channel that spirit going forward. RIP

Something that Tanya Talaga said a couple of weeks ago that hasn’t left me: when you think of Murray, think of the weight of hearing thousands of accounts of untold horror, and the toll it would take on your body. Think of taking that on. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

I could watch this all day

If you could use some good news, consider what's happening in the Great Bear Sea on BC's north coast. An ecosystem in resurgence. An economy reimagined. First Nations leading the charge. Thanks to The Tyee for running my Corporate Knights fall feature. thetyee.ca/News/2024/11/2…

I haven't posted here in ages. But I feel the fireflies in this story may enjoy this space. This was the hardest thing I've ever written, and also the easiest. It's about my dad's lifelong study of bioluminescence, and his final descent into the dark. thewalrus.ca/a-son-a-scient…

There's a chemical trick fireflies perform that allows them to flash without igniting. My father studied this, the magic of bioluminescence, all his life. Now he's 92, and heading into darkness. Happy Father's Day, pops. This one's for you. thewalrus.ca/a-son-a-scient…

I was surprised to learn that Poilievre made personal calls (mid-June) to the influencers who'd supported his campaign. It was the first time most of them had spoken to Poilievre. Perhaps also the last? Their social media posts are silent on Poilievre. Has the movement moved on?

Big thanks to Great Canadian Longform for highlighting my essay. If you're intrigued by bioluminescence, or helping a parent grapple with dementia, or curious what the heck those two things have to do with each other, dive on in...

In which me and Noor Azrieh parse pride vs prejudice, nationalism vs patriotism, and the national tug-of-war over the Canadian flag... Thanks for having me on Short Cuts, CANADALAND!

“We should have awards and whenever someone achieves $100 million, which is already obscene, we give them a bronze statue of a dick, and when you get $1 billion, we could give them an even bigger dick.” …why is nobody quoting this part of the interview?
