3/ So, let me be clear: I will always stand with the trans community, and I will always fight for your right to live your lives how you see fit. To quote Leslie Feinberg, “My right to be me is tied with a thousand threads to your right to be you.”

It’s all of us, or none of us. You have my word.

My position is clear: I am unequivocally opposed to any new fossil fuel development — including LNG.

We must have the courage to say this to every government, of any stripe: if you’re building new pipelines or fossil infrastructure, this shall not pass.

The trail camera footage is in, and we are close to finishing our counts for 2025. While we wait for the final population numbers for the critically endangered Vancouver Island marmot, please enjoy this highlight from the footage we reviewed.

China's diesel trucks shift to electric. This could change global LNG and diesel demand. China is replacing its diesel trucks with electric models faster than expected, potentially reshaping global fuel demand and the future of heavy transport.

China's electrification transition is dramatic, and leaving us in the dust.

So much for LNG-powered trucks! China and soon India are leapfrogging to the new. And our leaders pushing LNG and retreating on ZEVs look sad & vision-less in comparison.

Arms Embargo Now! Our new report has just exposed a massive pipeline of military aircraft parts and explosives flowing from Canada to Israel via the U.S., facilitated by a deadly loophole in Canadian law.

This report is damning.

Canada must adopt @jennykwan.bsky.social’s arms embargo bill immediately. Anything less is complicity in a human rights catastrophe that will haunt Canada for generations to come.

Last night, I met with Palestine solidarity organizers in Vancouver to discuss how the BC Green Party can support the struggle against the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. I'm honoured to stand and fight alongside you 🇵🇸

This thread sharing my comments to city council today on the proposed Vancouver “austerity” city budget may seem very local, but a LOT of cities, provinces and even countries are facing severe austerity budgets right now. You might find how I tried to push back to be useful. If so, please share.

ABC campaigned on bringing police into schools AFTER this had happened.

Alberta invokes notwithstanding clause to stop court challenges of transgender laws The Alberta government has invoked the Charter’s notwithstanding clause to protect from legal challenge a trio of laws affecting transgender youth and adults.

So is Mark Carney going to go along with the suspension of human rights by MAGA government in Alberta?
You cant' do nation-building by allowing an autocratic government to suspend the charter rights of citizens.
Just say no Mark.
it's pretty straightforward.

“We need a mass program of deshittification. The things that are public should be beautiful, should be functional. They represent our collective aspiration and our daily experience.”

I’m with the majority of the @ndp.ca caucus who voted against this austerity budget that would have made Stephen Harper smile, a gusher of corporate welfare and weapons spending that does nothing to make the lives of working people more affordable.

So happy our university spent a shedload of cash on a new finance and HR system last year. It has really clarified communications...

I had to know more about this dress so I went searching and it's even more amazing than that one picture can express so here's the link for anyone else who is interested.

An explanation of a possible 13 to 15% tax increase, 8% of which is possible reduced taxation to TransMountain pipeline.

The potential impact of the TransMountain pipeline taxation model change if the BC Finance Minister approves them.

If this goes through it will be devastating to local taxpayers.

BC Residents May Have to Cover a Property Tax Break for Pipelines | The Tyee After lobbying, BC Assessment slashed its appraisals of the industry’s infrastructure.

For those unaware of the background here. @tyolsen.bsky.social of @thetyee.ca wrote an excellent article on it.

It’s not just this pipeline, it is others in BC as well, and it will be other utilities like power lines in the near future… potentially.

We should be investing billions into innovative ways like this to re-wild our cities and towns, rather than water-guzzling, BIPoC poisoning plagiarism machines.

For years, people argued that there's no point in taking climate action unless China is onboard. I'm at a COP30 event where Chinese government officials and renewable industry reps are outlining the fast-paced renewable energy transition and long-term carbon neutrality plan. The story has flipped.

Prominent legal scholar detained at Canadian border while on his way to a conference on Palestine | CBC News A well-known academic and former UN special rapporteur says he was detained by customs agents in Toronto while on his way to speak at a conference on human rights violations against Palestinians.

Even from the gov that brought you the "Zionist Palestinian state", this is utterly appalling.

A Trumpian border interrogation?

Richard Falk is no national security threat. He's a legend of international law.

The PM should apologize personally.

Elbows up?🤔 Why Carney’s fast-track announcement is a disaster course for BC — from US foreign ownership to overseas jobs and climate impacts /1 🧵 #bcpoli

Fun fact: Carney wasn’t even welcome in Prince Rupert for this announcement — local nations including Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla are opposing Ksi Lisims LNG. He had to change the venue last minute, yet the Feds and province are still rushing to fast-track this giveaway to US billionaires. #bcpoli
