BC friends, important piece by @iglikaivanova.bsky.social

She writes: BC’s own source revenueβ€”taxes, fees & royaltiesβ€”has plummeted from 19.2% to 15.4% of GDP over 25 years. This drop represents $16.8 billion in foregone revenues annually."

Tax cuts drive the deficit; progressive tax ⬆️ needed πŸ‘‡

10 years ago, PM Mark Carney delivered his famous Tragedy of the Horizon speech, warning that our financial systems were underprepared for what was to come.

10 years later, very little has changed.Β

Here Come BC’s First LNG Shipments. Cause to Celebrate? | The Tyee Boosters ignore that more plants are a risky play meaning higher emissions and gas costs while diverting clean electricity.

The day it opens, LNG Canada will become B.C.β€˜s largest point-source emitter of #GHG, while increased gas production across the entire supply chain will also add to B.C.’s emission totals.

This and other LNG projects guarantee B.C. will fail to meet its legislated emission targets. Marc Lee writes.
