Jonathan Kerr 4 BC

Congratulations to @emilylowan.bsky.social on the @bcgreens.bsky.social leadership results.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered and supported my campaign, I'm so grateful for your hard work and dedication.

Is B.C.'s goal of electrifying LNG to reduce natural gas emissions possible? The NDP is banking on the Site C Dam and a number of new wind projects to help electrify B.C.'s burgeoning natural gas industry.

TLDR: no, it's not.

Despite the spin, LNG is a carbon bomb. Our hydro power is already compromised by drought.

We need to use new clean power to support clean industries and communities as they electrify to meet our climate goals.

A great start to the week! An early morning run through James Bay and along the breakwater in Victoria, followed by sessions on Healthcare and Affordable Housing at the first day of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) conference.

Honoured to be asked to speak about Health and Climate Change at today’s rally in Courtenay, 2:30 to 4:00pm.

I was so heartened to receive this endorsement from @bcgreens.bsky.social members.

Our members have fuelled the election of our MLAs and Green policy wins like getting corporate money out of politics.

We've made a big mark on this province and we're just getting started. #bcpoli

Doubling down on fossil fuel projects amidst a worsening climate crisis will only make our economy less stable.

One of my first priorities as leader will be to travel the province talking to people about how we can build a sustainable, clean economy instead. #bcpoli

BC Green leadership candidate releases platform regarding energy and economy Comox Councillor, family doctor and Vice-Chair of the Comox Valley Regional District, Jonathan Kerr has released his platform for election in regards to energy and the economy

If I'm elected @bcgreens.bsky.social Leader, my first priority will be to travel the province talking to British Columbians about how we can build a clean, sustainable economy that benefits local communities. #bcpoli

I have a plan to overhaul our education and skills training systems, transform British Columbia into a renewable energy superpower, build green infrastructure, and make life more affordable.

Experts are casting doubt on the long-term viability of LNG projects, which are expensive to build and risk becoming stranded assets.

As other countries race to transition to clean energy, oil and gas is as risky for the economy as it is for the climate.

Climate change is costing our economy billions of dollars a year from extreme weather damage, drought, crop failure and supply chain disruptions.

It is sheer lunacy to keep pumping carbon emissions into the air when we can see with our own eyes how damaging it is.

Massive Ksi Lisims LNG approved in B.C. | The Narwhal B.C. just gave the green light to Ksi Lisims, a project capable of producing almost as much as LNG Canada’s first phase

BC needs an economic strategy that will improve our long-term security and stability.

Sadly, the BC NDP’s only idea is to double down on fossil fuels in the middle of a climate crisis and when global commodity prices are in constant flux. #bcpoli

Our nation building shouldn’t be climate killing.

The federal Liberals and BC NDP are doubling down on fossil fuels, when climate change is costing us billions already.

Phase 2 LNG should not be on PM Carney's major projects lists.
#bcpoli

We need productive solutions, like more non-market housing, a strategy for a clean economy and a skills and jobs plan for youth.

Rob Shaw: Eby’s finger-pointing at immigrants is a dangerous distraction Premier risks alienating supporters by scapegoating temporary foreign workers

The last thing British Columbians need in these challenging times is more blame, division and resentment.

It's been incredible to travel the province during this leadership, talking with new and longtime members about how we're going to build a better province for everyone.

I'm so grateful for all the support and so excited for the future of the @bcgreens.bsky.social.

Happy to represent the Town of Comox at the 50th anniversary celebration for the Comox Valley Sports Centre. I love serving on our regional Recreation Commission!

As BC Greens leader, I would push to fully fund the ICET through the @bcgreencaucus.bsky.social agreement with government, invigorating coastal economies and advancing reconciliation. #bcpoli

There’s a Path to Prosperity on BC’s Coast. It’s Called ICET | The Tyee The province has a proven model for economic renewal and reconciliation. Will the BC NDP boost it?

A good place to start would be be by fully funding the Island Coastal Economic Trust, an exciting and significant opportunity the government has chosen to ignore.

Premier David Eby's "Real People" Comments are Shameful! British Columbians deserve unity and justice, not division and scapegoating!

Great read from former @bcgreens.bsky.social MLA Adam Olsen on the Premier's harmful comments this week.

If government takes a proactive approach to negotiations, we can work with pursue reconciliation and prosperity at the same time.

Regardless of where they live, health care workers go to work every day with a clear goal: to save lives and keep people healthy.

Since 2023, the WHO has documented 1,580 health care workers killed in Gaza. As a doctor, this has been top of mind ever since the war in Gaza started.

My statement:

I have a plan to protect our water and ensure that it benefits BC.

This water is contaminated by fracking and can’t be used until it is cleaned.

This is unacceptable - our water should be used for local, sustainable industries, not multinational conglomerates like the LNG industry.

A troubling delay from the BC government on its watershed strategy.

This government has been dropping the ball on water, at a time when communities and ecosystems face worsening drought conditions.

Meanwhile, they're giving billions of tons to water to the #fracking industry for next to nothing.

Ensuring students have the support and resources they need is the best investment we can make in the future of our province.

Whether it's a lagging economy or the mental health crisis, we can't afford the consequences of this short-sighted decision making.

BC Government Quietly Kills $20-Million School Affordability Fund | The Tyee ‘Transformative’ program had allowed schools to cut fees and provide supplies to vulnerable students.

They're also cutting programs their own ministers deemed "transformative" to support low-income families

B.C. school boards forced to make cuts, say they are all out of Band-Aids Teachers' unions and board trustees says reserves running dry as underfunding fuels layoffs, cuts to programming

The BC NDP government has made short-sighted cuts, leading to the loss of mental health counsellors and extra-curriculars that provide students with critical learning opportunities www.vicnews.com/home2/bc-sch...

BC is failing to meet the moment when it comes to education.

My plan will give students what they need to succeed and prepare our province for a changing future.

Honoured to have Mark's support for my campaign! #bcpoli

One of my proudest accomplishments as a Councillor is leading the task force that got 20,000 more people a family doctor or nurse practitioner.
