Our analysis finds that, in general, Canadian municipal CAPs (Climate Action Plans) do not go far enough in addressing social injustices. The results indicate that there is an opportunity for Canadian cities to revise their existing CAPs to address the identified gaps during the implementation process in ways that maximise positive and just social outcomes

NatureThe current state of municipal climate action plans in effecting positive social justice outcomes in Canada - npj Climate ActionClimate change is disproportionately impacting marginalised communities and exacerbating social injustices in Canada. Municipal Climate Action Plans (CAPs) are beginning to look at the challenges of the climate crisis and social injustices by incorporating language related to decolonisation, equity, diversity, and inclusion (DEDI) in their recommended actions. However, how DEDI is incorporated into CAPs remains underexplored. Therefore, this review evaluates the CAPs of 20 cities in Canada for the ways in which DEDI concerns are incorporated in their plans by using a framework that assesses the plans’ development processes, collaboration with stakeholders, ownership of actions, and evaluation methods. Our analysis finds that, in general, Canadian municipal CAPs do not go far enough in addressing social injustices. The results indicate that there is an opportunity for Canadian cities to revise their existing CAPs to address the identified gaps during the implementation process in ways that maximise positive and just social outcomes.

"Fresh off burying lawful access provisions that grant access to internet subscriber information without a warrant in the border bill, the government has now quietly inserted provisions that exempt political parties from the application of privacy protections in Bill C-4, an “affordability measures” bill.

The provisions, which come toward the end of the bill, are deemed to be in force as of May 31, 2000, retroactively exempting the parties from any privacy violations that may date back decades. The provisions mean the parties will be exempted from the privacy standards faced by private sector organizations across the country, with no real consequences for privacy violations and no effective oversight over the use of Canadians’ personal information.

The ostensible reason for the provisions is a British Columbia case that applied provincial privacy law to federal political parties. The government is now seeking to render that case moot and provide all political parties with an effective exemption from any privacy laws other than measures found in the Elections Act. An appeal of the B.C. case is scheduled to be heard later this month."
