Canada’s public EV charging network is growing. 📈🚗🔌 Recent investments from the federal government, B.C. and N.B., are giving drivers more places to charge. Every new charging station helps give drivers confidence to make the switch to electric. Read more: buff.ly/De7FNuY
🇨🇦 The world is changing. Rising costs. Global uncertainty. A warming planet. But Canada has what it takes to lead. 💪 ⚡ It’s time to electrify our economy ⚡ Power it with clean energy ⚡ Build a resilient, secure Canada This is our moment. #CleanEnergy #Electrification #NetZero
Buildings are central to driving Canada's electrified economy. ⚡⏩ On August 13th we are gathering in Vancouver to celebrate the progress of our Reframed Initiative and discuss what comes next.
Eight major oil companies made $93B in profits in just three months as the Iran conflict drove up energy prices. Meanwhile, families struggle with rising costs and communities face devastating wildfires and heatwaves. Why should Canadian taxpayers help pay for a new pipeline? 📰: buff.ly/7ZV9sFN
☀️ Solar installations in Great Britain reached a 15-year high in the first half of 2026. As fossil fuel costs rise, more households are turning to #CleanEnergy to take control of their energy bills. 🔗 buff.ly/gjTfBAl
The world of work is changing. Automation, competition and climate change are reshaping our economy. But Canada can shape this change. Electrification can build industries and create well-paying careers. 🎙️ Check out the full conversation with @steelworkers.bsky.social: buff.ly/45Vxc4r
Canada’s clean electricity future requires the right infrastructure. Our analysis shows how transmission bottlenecks are wasting low-cost wind & solar in Alberta — and raising bills. Without transmission and interprovincial connections, the electricity can’t flow. ➡️ buff.ly/EpvJd0Q
With Canada's electricity use set to double in the years ahead, we're ensuring our #electricity system is resilient and affordable by empowering Canadians to reduce energy demand. 🍁⚡ Learn more about your role in Canada's #cleanenergy transition 👉 buff.ly/m9latAd
Canadians need more affordable EV options.🍁🚗 Opening our market to greater competition can help drive down costs and push automakers to offer better, cheaper vehicles. Our Transportation director explains why competition matters for consumers and Canada's auto future. #cdnpoli 👇
Importing 49,000 Chinese EVs isn’t the biggest threat to Canada’s auto sector — over-reliance on the U.S. is. Diversifying our auto sector by growing the availability of low-cost EVs is key to strengthening the industry’s long-term resilience. #cdnpoli #EVs More in @thewalrus.ca 📰👉 buff.ly/xOEFnZX
Global oil demand is set to fall for the first time since 2020, as conflict in the Middle East continues to disrupt supply, exposing the risks of relying on volatile oil markets. Another reminder that investing in electrification and clean energy also improves energy security. ⚡ 🔗 buff.ly/FLOHXB9
1/3 of B.C.’s skilled construction workers are set to retire in the next decade. With a workforce plan, the province has an opportunity to ensure local workers benefit first from major #CleanEnergy projects. #bcpoli More from @globalnews.ca 👉 buff.ly/edh8jrK
☀️ India is proving that economic growth doesn't have to depend on rising fossil fuel use. The country has surpassed 150 GW of solar capacity and is building the world's largest solar park to power industry, transportation and more with #CleanElectricity. 🔗➡️ buff.ly/ez0uaqn
Canadians are spending more time under wildfire smoke each year. Taking actions like investing in building retrofits can help shield people from smoke while preparing homes for a changing climate. #cdnpoli More in @nationalobserver.com 📰👉 buff.ly/lf8KFIG
Some good news for British Columbians 👏 By 2035, the province and BC Hydro will build 3,500 more #ElectricVehicle charging ports, supported by a $700M public investment. This will create one of Canada’s largest public charging networks! 🚗🔌 #bcpoli #EVs 🔗: buff.ly/fcO5KxI
30+% EV uptake in the EU, over 50% in China, and 30% globally by the end of this year. The world is going electric. And if Canada wants a competitive auto industry, it needs to embrace electrification. That’s where the vehicle emissions standard comes in. More on @energimedia.bsky.social 🎙️🚗
Alberta shouldn’t default to natural gas generation for new #DataCentres. “With solar and wind power, quite often you have storage and backup batteries anyway. It’s a great way to store excess energy at times and send it back to the grid when it’s needed.” #abpoli 📰👉: buff.ly/hvP35S6
Canada is a leader in hydroelectricity, but when it comes to wind and solar, we rank just 57th. As countries race to build low-cost electricity systems, Canada has an opportunity to move faster on wind and solar at home. Read the latest findings from @ember-energy.org: buff.ly/M4opcpN
⚡ The age of electricity is here. The new #ElectrifyNow coalition highlights a trend underway: electrification and clean energy are reducing long-term demand for oil and gas. For Canada, prosperity increasingly depends on investing in clean electricity, grids and storage.
Oil and gas production is rising, but employment hasn’t kept pace. Canada needs a workforce strategy to prepare workers for growing industries in the #CleanEnergy economy and future opportunities. 👷☀️ #cdnpoli
China’s electric vehicle exports reached a record $9.2 billion in May 2026, with most going to Southeast Asia. 🤯 EV adoption is accelerating across Asia, adding to evidence that electrification is reducing future demand for oil. 🚗⚡ Dive into the data from @ember-energy.org ➡️ : buff.ly/kf1nY1E
#CleanEnergy projects are diversifying northern B.C.'s economy. The next step is making sure local workers benefit. That means investing in training and workforce planning alongside new projects. 👷💰 #bcpoli We break it down on @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social 🎙️👇 buff.ly/SzurUZc
Across Canada, wildfires and severe weather are driving up demand for related health care services as a result of climate change. Whole-building retrofits can help protect Canadians by limiting exposure to wildfire smoke👇 buff.ly/QZK9Hs5
#CleanEnergy projects are creating jobs across northern #BC — and local workers should have every opportunity to fill them. “We want to make sure locals are being given priority when it comes to things that are happening in their backyard.” More from @energeticcity.bsky.social 👉 buff.ly/lNQ32V5
As severe weather continues to drive costs in the real estate and insurance markets, resilience is being rewarded. Our new blog explains how building owners can benefit from green premiums and avoid falling behind with brown discounts. Find the full blog here 👉 buff.ly/MAmRQOF
Alberta is poised to make $5.8 billion annually and sustain 24,000 local jobs, but investments are needed to realize these benefits. Our research found that $2.5 billion in annual investments is needed to meet projected growth in the retrofit sector. Read our full blog 👉 buff.ly/Lm1rmy6
Alberta is home for us. It’s where we were founded, and it’s who we work for every day. Alberta’s future is strongest within Canada — with access to investment, supply chains, and growing clean energy opportunities. Read our full statement: buff.ly/LGinsEp
Canadians are facing another devastating wildfire season, supercharged by climate change. Yet Canada's governments plan to spend taxpayer $ on a new pipeline, alongside a weakened Pathways carbon capture deal that will see emissions go up, not down. 🚨 Canadians deserve better. #cdnpoli
Could the world function with 9% less oil? New analysis suggests demand has fallen sharply in some markets, with little disruption, as people shift to transit, rail and electrified transport. A sign that global oil demand may flatten or decline. 🔗: buff.ly/wW5zXAg
Another fire season, another reminder that burning fossil fuels is making these events more severe. Yet 🍁 rolls-back climate policy & spends taxpayer $ on new oil & gas infra. “We’re betting against a global energy transition from the fossil fuels contributing to these events.” buff.ly/xrW8atv
