🇨🇦 is on fire - again. Wildfires are worsening as the climate crisis deepens.
Are we more prepared this time?
Do communities know how to respond to air quality impacts?
Are we cutting carbon pollution + helping communities respond?

Great piece by EnvironmentalDefence's Aly Hyder Ali.
'As Canadians brace for another devastating wildfire season, oil + gas companies continue to churn out more pollution...the federal gov't needs to...put a cap on oil + gas emissions immediately.'

“As physicians, we see the harms to people in our communities from the toxic exposures they face and the resulting diseases. We know that people’s health is an indicator of their environments and other social factors.”

Thinking of those affected in Fort Nelson and Fort McMurray today.
We can't let wildfires + evacuations become a routine part of 🇨🇦's summers.
It's never been more urgent to tackle climate pollution + take measures to protect communities.

La Dre Dre Claudel Pétrin-Desrosiers était aussi cet après-midi à l’émission Vivement le retour, à ICI Première Estrie, pour parler des recommandations émises par la Santé publique du Québec, et de l’impact d’épisodes annuels de feux de forêts sur la santé humaine.

L’AQME se réjouit de ces mesures mais la Dre Dre Claudel Pétrin-Desrosiers souligne des « zones d’ombre » entourant la pollution liée aux feux de forêt», comme les effets cumulatifs des épisodes aigus de détérioration de la qualité de l’air...

Methane is an extremely potent GHG, and most of it comes from oil + gas production, along with a slew of toxic chemicals.
Pembina Institute’s Amanda Bryant, PhD points out that 🇨🇦 still needs to improve methane measurement. Right now we have estimates, not accurate measurement.

Work hard, play harder.
Such a treat to connect with my #PANDATrial co investigators in City of Sydney last week—and fit in some hikes and family time too.
Excited to continue work to research + scale nature prescriptions across Australia.

ON is the first prov. to make such a comprehensive assessment of climate impacts (👏). Results are stark.
It would be awful to do nothing with this info.
With wildfires + heat waves again bearing down on us, ON needs to take action.

For weeks, Charlie Angus’s office was inundated with calls from people hurling slurs at him and threatening death – including vows to force crude oil down his throat. The MPs bid to ban fossil fuel ads in Canada has clearly struck a nerve. @CAPE-ACME
