    How We’ll Win PLUS Sierra Club U.S. Sues Trump Admin for DOGE Records

    We describe why, even though things may seem dire, the climate movement will ultimately win and what you can do to help, PLUS how Trump pressured the IEA into publishing a ridiculous oil demand scenario, AND how our sister organization south of the border, Sierra Club U.S., has filed a new lawsuit against the Trump Administration after its Department of Government Efficiency refused to release records about its ties to polluters and special interests: They’re calling for transparency about who’s influencing DOGE’s massive budget cuts — and how those decisions are harming people, public health, and the environment.

    LNG is NOT Nation-Building: Trump's Friends May Benefit, But We Pay the Price

    Mark Carney is due to announce another round of 'nation building' projects and likely to be among them is the Ksi Lisims liquefied natural gas (or LNG) project in British Columbia: the entity that will construct, own and operate the assets of the Ksi Lisims LNG project is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Texas-based Western LNG, funded by U.S. private equity firms with ties to the U.S. Administration.  We discuss at length why LNG development is not nation building and actually harms our economy, health, and climate. You can take action by calling for stronger anti-greenwashing regulations to apply to oil and gas corporations like LNG corporations here: https://www.sierraclub.ca/action-item/greenwashing_regulations_canada_carney/ And pledge to support community-led renewable energy and tell Carney to do the same: https://www.sierraclub.ca/action-item/carney-support-renewable-energy/ You can find resources / sources for today's episode here: https://www.sierraclub.ca/lng-national-interest-canada/ And some reading for greater context below:  "More than 40 Trump administration picks tied directly to oil, gas and coal, analysis shows" - The Guardian."Trump Officials Discussed $500M Alberta Independence Loan, Separatist Claims" - Desmog. "These Fossil Fuel Industry Tactics Are Fueling Democratic Backsliding" - Centre for American Progress.Carney's announcement will take place in Prince Rupert on Thursday according to CBC News.

    The Real Deep State & Budget 2025: Leaders Are NOT Saviours, YOU Are.

    To stop oil and gas lobbyists and wealthy interests (the REAL deep state) from undermining democracy and the environment we need to learn to use their strategies and mindset to democracy's advantage (every crisis is an opportunity) - without succumbing to apathy or scapegoats. We look at Budget 2025 and the government's 'climate plan' in terms of corporate influence.

    Decolonizing Climate Research with Dr. Enoch Tse

    Co-host Diktshya Sharma asks Dr. Enoch Tse what does it mean for climate research in Canada to be reciprocal rather than extractive? How do worldviews about the human-nature relationship shape the kinds of questions researchers even think to ask? What would it actually look like for a research project to give back, instead of just taking? Dr. Tse is a Professional Engineer, is co-chair of the Anti-Racism and Respectful Workplace Advisory Committee and division lead of the Anti-Racism Action Plan with the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks, and an Adjunct professor (Social Psychology) and (Advocacy) at Adler University. Diktshya is a Bhutanese climate worker based in Toronto. Drawing on her studies in Economics and Psychology at the University of Toronto, she applies behavioural insight to land-based climate initiatives that honour traditional knowledge and community well-being. She is currently an executive member with Sierra Youth, focusing on events and communications.  Be sure to send us your questions at info@sierraclub.ca and sign up for email updates from us here: https://www.sierraclub.ca/subscribe-for-updates/ And don't forget to take action: https://www.sierraclub.ca/take-action/ Support the show Find out more and take action at sierraclub.ca/take-action/

    Oligarch Social Media: Stay, Leave? OR Misuse...

    Should you stay on platforms like X or Meta or leave? We explore ways to misuse these oligarchical propaganda platforms to actually get more people onto better platforms and spaces: examining the tactics and strategies of climate denialists for lessons in how to be more effective online in advocating for environmental and social justice. No matter what you choose to do, stay or leave, it's about how you do it.  Resources and further listening for today's Sovereignty Saturdays sub-series episode: Winning the Communications War with the U.S. Oligarchy, & Big Oil & Gas, Requires YOU! Last Week's Sovereignty Saturdays (3) episode on strategy versus tactics in communications: https://www.sierraclub.ca/united-states-oligarchy-oil/How to Talk with Others About Climate Change & Progress Past the Political Theatre (using metaphor, stories, and framing): https://www.sierraclub.ca/climate-change-family-talk/Other previous Sovereignty Saturdays sub-series episodes: Do You Want Kings?

    Winning the Communications War with the U.S. Oligarchy, & Big Oil & Gas, Requires YOU!

    Canada defeating the aggression of the U.S. oligarchy, & their oil & gas-interest friends, will require all of us learning how to communicate more effectively, strategically, & rapidly to counter disinformation. When it comes to disinformation going ‘straight at ’em’ will also require dealing with the extreme inequality that led us to this point, as we covered in last week’s episode: https://www.sierraclub.ca/no-kings-inequality-deregulation/ Resources for this Sovereignty Saturdays sub-series episode: Previous episodes: How to Defend Democracy, Sovereignty, & Canada: Resisting U.S. Annexation PART 3 & No Kings Day special: https://www.sierraclub.ca/sovereignty-democracy-canada-annexation/ & https://www.sierraclub.ca/no-kings-inequality-deregulation/Anat Shenker-Osorio & Jessica Murray, Communicating on Climate Change in Your Community (tips on framing): https://www.sierraclub.ca/communicating-on-climate-change/How to talk with others about climate issues using metaphor: https://www.sierraclub. ca/climate-change-family-talk/On Full Spectrum Resistance, Aric McBay & Jessica Murray: https://www.sierraclub.ca/full-spectrum-resistance-podcast/Annexation playbook borrows from climate denial tactics: https://www.nationalobserver.com/2025/03/20/opinion/strategies-climate-denial-canada-annexation-threats"Trump Officials Discussed $500M Alberta Independence Loan, Separatist Claims". "These Fossil Fuel Industry Tactics Are Fueling Democratic Backsliding," CAP.Trump’s ‘Annexation’ of Canada Has Already Begun (Jan, 2025). How Energy Alternatives Help Smother It: https://energymixweekender.substack.com/p/trumps-annexation-of-canada-has-alreadyWhy oil, gas & LNG development is pointless: https://www.sierraclub.ca/lng-national-interest-canada/65% of Canadians (now up to 67%) Want Renewables INSTEAD of Oil & Gas Development: https://www.sierraclub.ca/canadians-renewables-oil-gas/‘Go Straight at ’Em!’: Mission Command, U.S. Naval Institute.Reputation Management, Doorley & Garcia (Book).Comms plan: Situational analysis, Audience analysis, Objectives, Key messages, Strategies, Tactics, Evaluation.
