June 11, noon ET<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Do some Canadians really believe climate change is a hoax? It’s hard to believe, but in 2025 this was a legitimate question for up to 34% of Canadians. It’s a deeply worrying trend that speaks to shifting national conversations around economic security and national unity. And it’s put Canadians in a double bind: Canadians support cleaner energy at home, but feel the country’s broader economic future—thanks in part to sustained political and industrial messaging—depends on fossil fuels. Climate organizations and communicators are forced to navigate this tricky moment marked by policy reversals, new pipeline projects, positive electrification progress, growing uncertainty about where Canada is heading and a population that is confused about the causes of climate change. Join Re.Climate for the launch of our latest public opinion rollup, where we’ll explore what recent public opinion research says about how Canadians are thinking about climate change, energy politics and the government’s climate action right now. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_0QzBN2gLRr6HaJhkwSmEjA#/registration">https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_0QzBN2gLRr6HaJhkwSmEjA#/registration</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#E97132'>World Naked Bike Ride - Toronto<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Sat.

By showcasing alternative ways to get around the city, riders hope to draw attention to the cause while making a serious statement in a rather cheeky way. But beyond fossil fuel dependence, the ride brings awareness to other important issues such as urban pollution, cycling safety, and body acceptance. Toronto's ride is part of a worldwide movement that takes place in cities across the globe each year. And while bicycles are the main attraction, rollerbladers, skateboarders, scooter riders, and even walkers are welcome to participate. Participants are encouraged to be "as bare as they dare," though full nudity is by no means required. While some riders prefer to stay partially (or even fully) clothed, others opt for body paint, costumes, or creative accessories to cover their important bits. Helmets and footwear, on the other hand, are still strongly recommended. The approx. 16-km route takes participants through several of Toronto's best-known neighbourhoods and landmarks, including Trinity Bellwoods, Kensington Market, Yorkville, Church Street, Yonge Street, Nathan Phillips Square, and the waterfront.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://www.blogto.com/radar/2026/06/world-naked-bike-ride-toronto-2026/">https://www.blogto.com/radar/2026/06/world-naked-bike-ride-toronto-2026/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#A02B93'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#A02B93'>No More Noise Drop-In<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Sat.
