Elizabeth May Madam Speaker, the debate so far today has been contaminated by so many claims that are contrafactual. In other words, the facts are clear, but the conversation in this place is ignoring them. For instance, the claim was made that shipping bitumen is safer in a pipeline. The opposite is true. When the ...
Human-driven climate disruption poses extreme risks in the coming decades. Indeed some people, societies, species, and ecosystems have already experienced significant, even catastrophic consequences.

I am also an intervenor in the Kinder-Morgan National Energy Board hearing process. By reducing the process to largely a ...
It is clear that debates dealing with energy choices dominate the news: Pipelines – Keystone, Enbridge, Kinder-Morgan, Energy East; oil sands versus tar sands; climate policy and the lack thereof; coal plants and so on. For the most part, these debates are treated as isolated, zero-sum games. You can either have a healthy economy or ...

Elizabeth May: Mr. Speaker, the second petition is from residents of the Vancouver area.
