If this bill is pushed through by Thursday, healthcare workers won’t know how to obey the law on Friday. They heavily rely on Section 31 in guidance documents and forms for involuntary admission, and updating these operational documents right before the December holidays is certain to disrupt care.

With any changes to a system so complex and consequential, you need a clear plan. The amendments under Bill 32 have been pulled together hastily, with minimal consultation and conflicting explanations of its intent.

The BC Greens stand with the First Nations who oppose this project. The BC government must not bend on this issue and must stand with First Nations. Just yesterday, the CleanBC Review was released making clear that our climate responsibilities and fossil fuels cannot co-exist.

“B.C. used to be a climate leader; but now, we are climate laggards,” said @jervaler.bsky.social “LNG is the elephant in the room, and it’s drowning out everything else.” #bcpoli #cleanbc

Some of the recommendations we like in the CleanBC Review:

1. Aligning CleanBC with UNDRIP and DRIPA
2. Establishing a net zero pathways assessment, and an electricity allocation framework that supports fuel-switching and prioritizes allocation to net-zero sectors and activities

Quote from BC Green MLA Jeremy Valeriote: “BC has a long history of short sightedness, but a better future is possible. The climate crisis needs an urgent, global response, and I know British Columbians are ready to be a part of it.”

Shoutout to Kitimat’s fearless climate champions Lani Gibson and Michelle Martins for showing us around - from old growth cedars to LNG flare stacks. It was such a gift to interview you on community health impacts and the real alternatives to support wellbeing.

Instead of confronting the fundamental problem, voluntary care is being overshadowed. Many people requiring involuntary treatment were once less sick, but were unable to access voluntary care when they needed it.

The BC NDP claim Bill 31 addresses climate change and supports First Nations partnerships. Here’s why they’re wrong. Why we voted NO on Bill 31 It’s another subsidy for LNG First Nations along Phase 3 weren’t consulted It Greenwashes dirty industries Incomplete Electricity Allocation Framework It’s a BC NDP power-grab Fast-tracked construction High cost (& high potential for cost overruns)

My letter to the Speaker, regarding the increasing use of disrespectful and offensive language and behaviour unbecoming of elected members of the Legislative Assembly.

When there are threats to progress on reconciliation, we must respond with immediate and proportionate action.

The BC Greens want British Columbians to access this province’s clean energy advantage.

But the BC NDP have made it clear that the North Coast Transmission Line is being advanced primarily as a public subsidy for LNG projects, rather than as a long-term investment in BC’s clean energy future.

The BC Greens voted against Bill M216, Professional Reliance Act, at 2nd Reading, but the bill still passed to Committee Stage. Because this is a Private Members Bill, the public is welcome to provide input.

Grateful to the grassroots organizers for bringing us all together to protect old growth forests and call out the government's broken promises -- here in Victoria, and across BC at simultaneous rallies. Both BC Green MLAs attended the Victoria rally while juggling duties in the legislature. #bcpoli

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

…we’re still working through whether other aspects of this bill are supportable, particularly with consolidation of power in Cabinet around rate-setting & an electricity allocation framework.

As it stands, the North Coast Transmission Line serves LNG & mining projects more than British Columbians.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister’s announcement to invest in the North Coast Transmission Line is fraught with uncertainty on how the clean electricity it delivers will be used.

While the partial Indigenous ownership of the North Coast Transmission Line outlined in Bill 31 is commendable…

The major projects highlighted by the PM raise serious questions:

Ksi Lisims LNG does not represent the interests of British Columbians, and the Prime Minister’s message that fossil fuel projects, such as Ksi Lisims, are low carbon and aid the energy transition is flat-out greenwashing.

Part of @jervaler.bsky.social 's reaction to the North Coast Tanker ban announcement yesterday:

"How do we say: 'this part of the province is going to be a sacrifice zone,' while we keep the north coast in tact? To me that's a problem of inequity for the people of BC."

YouTube video by BC Green Caucus Oct. 30, 2025 - BC Green MLA Valeriote on supporting local news and BuyBC advertising

Today MLA @jervaler.bsky.social asked the Premier to support local news, which is essential to a healthy society.

Right now, the BC Gov spends the vast majority of its advertising budget with American tech giants like Meta and Google. What if they BuyBC instead?
