3 things to watch for in Budget 2023

Paov,
In just two weeks, the federal government will announce its 2023 budget. It comes on the heels of a sobering new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), reminding us how urgently Canada needs to step up our response to the climate emergency.1
Here are the three key things we’ll be looking for in the federal budget to see if our leaders are finally ready to meet this moment head-on:
First, we need to spend what it takes. The Trudeau government simply isn’t investing in green solutions at the speed and scale the climate crisis demands. We need to increase investments to about $57 billion per year, about 2% of Canada’s GDP,2 to rapidly transform our economy and phase out fossil fuels.
Second, we need to power down the bad. No matter how much we invest in clean energy, we won’t get anywhere if we keep propping up the fossil fuel industry with billions in subsidies. News just broke that the cost of expanding the Trans Mountain pipeline has surged again, this time rising 43% to an eye-watering...

Will you donate $5 to help expose the “real” Ron DeSantis?

The moment Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis makes his 2024 presidential bid official, he’ll immediately become one of the leading contenders to be the next president of the United States.
As one of the Republican Party’s most sharp-elbowed culture warriors, he’s become a Fox News darling by attacking everyone and everything from asylum-seekers to LGBTQ+ people to Advanced Placement African American history.
But while DeSantis has made himself a right-wing star by “owning the libs,” far less well known is the story of DeSantis’s actual record as governor and representative — as well as the wealthy corporate interests and political machine behind his rise in Florida politics.
That’s why, at The Intercept, we’re determined to find...

Your place for
news and action Saturday March 11, 2023 The Trans Mountain oil tanker expansion is now the most expensive industrial project in Canadian history.
What started as a $5.4 billion pipeline expansion has turned into a catastrophic boondoggle of immeasurable proportions — and one that will keep costing Canadian taxpayers for decades to come.
Justin Trudeau made a fatal mistake buying Trans Mountain from Texas-owned Kinder Morgan back in 2018. His government has had chance after chance to pull the plug on this unnecessary climate killer. Instead, they keep doubling down on a sinking ship, and have spent billions of Canadians' tax dollars to bail it out.

The abortion pill banned? It could happen.

Any day now, a far-right federal judge in Texas cherry-picked by anti-abortion groups is expected to advance a lawsuit seeking a nationwide ban on mifepristone, the pill used in more than half of all abortions in the U.S.
This case could be the biggest rollback of abortion access since Roe v. Wade itself was overturned.
The Intercept is investigating the anti-abortion groups behind this case, and what we’ve found is startling: a shadow medical community that is fueling the right’s legal attacks with dubious pseudoscience, sowing fear, uncertainty, and doubt about the safety of medication abortion.
This junk science and the...
