The real answer is that @velocanadabikes.bsky.social has the capability to deal with this, but chooses not to for whatever reason. Probably because the Trans Canada Trail Foundation gets in the way and conveniently blocks progress for a National Cycling Route Network.

At the next AGM, why not elect candidates to be on permanent standby? When an election is called, that is certainly NOT the time to be fielding candidates.

And at the next AGM, they get re-elected for another year. Local EDAs should be voting for their own candidate.

Thanks for the great coverage on our housing policy, @jamimakan.bsky.social / BIV! Renters in B.C. have the worst deal in Canada, with 1 in 6 spending over half their income on rent. We need to crack down on greedy landlords with vacancy control and massively scale non-market housing. #bcpoli

How a Zoomer Became Leader of the BC Green Party | The Tyee Inside the campaign that scored a victory for 25-year-old Emily Lowan.

β€œIt was a lightning rod of hope. We brought in thousands of new members to this party, many of whom were completely disillusioned with politics.”

Emily Lowan’s victory is a sign that the climate movement still has the energy to capture voters. Hugh Chan writes. #bcpoli

B.C.'s maximum rent increase in 2026 is set at 2.3 per cent For the second-straight year, the maximum rent increase was arrived at by matching the rate of inflation based on the consumer price index.
