The North Coast tanker ban isn’t just a policy, it’s a promise to protect what we love, honour Indigenous leadership & choose a thriving future over risk.

BC LNG project divides Indigenous nations, risks financial and environmental harm A major BC LNG pipeline and terminal is reigniting deep divisions among Indigenous nations, exposing communities to major financial and environmental risks despite promises of economic benefit.

If Ksi Lisims fracked gas export terminal & PRGT pipeline go bust (as is likely given glut of LNG), Nisga’a Nation could lose billions. Banks get paid first, and risks are high given competition from lower cost solar & wind.

'Whether you win or lose, some fights are worth fighting': The largest ever climate case's unlikely origins The UN world court is coming to a conclusion on its largest ever case, which considers states' legal responsibilities to tackle climate change. It all began with a bold student idea.

Accountability for the world's biggest climate polluters is happening.

Opinion: B.C.'s climate plan is badly off track B.C.'s Climate Change Accountability Report shows the province is badly off track to reach its legislated pollution targets.

"Failing to truly bend the curve on our pollution is a broken political imperative and a failure to protect the health of British Columbians."

Shameful to see the BC NDP rush to eliminate one of the most basic and successful policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with no plan to make big polluters pay.

Trump tells supporters they won’t have to vote in the future: ‘It’ll be fixed!’ Former president implores Christian supporters to vote ‘just this time ... in four years, you don’t have to vote again’

2024: Trump says "Christians, get out and vote! Just this time – you won’t have to do it any more. Four more years, you know what? It'll be fixed! It'll be fine! You won't have to vote any more, my beautiful Christians."

FULL RALLY: President Trump in Panama City Beach, Florida YouTube video by LiveNOW from FOX

This was never a joke. Trump has been saying this for years. The problem is that nobody in the US was really listening.

2019: Trump "jokes" about staying in power for 10-14 years, being a "despot" and "breaking the constitution."
www.youtube.com/live/WIwGrZK...

He's been saying this for years. Even in his election campaign in 2024 he told his supporters this is the last time they'll need to vote.

Chart showing greenhouse gas emissions over time from 1990 to 2022, comparing BC versus G7 Nations. BC's emissions have increased by 26% and Canada's emissions have increased by 16% since 1990. In comparison, all other G7 Nations have reduced emissions: USA by 3%, Japan by 11%, Italy by 21%, France by 27%, EU by 31%, Germany by 40%, and the UK by 50%.

BC MLAs like to claim that BC is a climate leader, but this chart by @bsaxifrage.bsky.social exposes that lie.

BC's emissions have increased by 26% since 1990, while all other G7 Nations have decreased emissions by up to 50%.

Liar liar our communities are on fire. Summer is coming.

A post from BC Conservative Peace River North MLA Jordan Kealy's Facebook page, On Thursday, I witnessed firsthand just how toxic the BC Conservative Party has become. Some of the worst bullies sit in the legislature, and the BC Conservatives are no exception. I stood up for a fellow MLA who was harassed for speaking the truth, only to become a target myself. The party has created an environment where some so-called “Conservatives” would rather throw cheap insults than deal with facts. There were no apologies, no accountability, and I refuse to stand with those who either enable or ignore that kind of behavior. I’m a real conservative, and I don’t believe anyone should be bullied—no matter their background, beliefs, race, sexual orientation, or abilities. Bullies have no place in leadership. We should be fighting *for* each other, not *with* each other. I’ve always fought for the people of Peace River North, and I’m not stopping now. Our region helped build this province, but the BC NDP has run it into the ground. They’ve buried our industries in red tape and made BC a terrible place to invest. I’ll keep holding them accountable and fighting to bring back the prosperity we deserve. But I can’t do that while stuck in a party that’s eating itself alive. The BC Conservatives have turned into "Liberal United Conservative 2.0"—different name, same backroom games. I’m a farmer. I know bullshit when I smell it. People don’t want fake, scripted politicians. They want real, honest leadership. That’s what I stand for, and that’s what I’ll keep fighting for.

Kealy's post continued: I’ll be a champion for my community, with or without a party. And honestly, I think I can do that job a whole lot better without the toxic mess the BC Conservatives have become. My loyalty is to the people of Peace River North—not a party that’s lost its way. This is why I have lost faith in John Rustad as a leader and his Azim team. If he cannot stop people from being bullied then I will. This is just the start of a new path and a new party that respects Conservative values!!! For any media inquiries please contact me directly @Jordan.Kealy.MLA@leg.bc.ca or 1-672-974-5479

One of my first thoughts when I saw John Rustad had removed Dallas Brodie from the BC Conservative caucus was to wonder whether any other BC Conservative MLAs might quit in protest or solidarity

Looks like Peace River North MLA Jordan Kealy is doing just that #bcpoli

Pass it on.

There’s a reason these multi-billionaires want us to believe fact-based, well-sourced reporting is dying.

E-Bikers Ride Much Farther and More Frequently Than Regular Bikers They are not 'cheating,' but are serious transportation.

The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%.

E-bikes support fewer car trips.

“OUR city isn’t [insert name of a much more livable & successful city here].”

Trust me, we know that. It’s abundantly obvious that you’re not that city.

That city made, and continues to make, much better choices with fewer excuses.

The real question is, do you want YOUR city to be better or not?

The Imaginary BC Climate Mandate Letter We Wish to See | The Tyee For cabinet ministers facing a confluence of crises, a mock letter from the frontlines of the climate emergency.
