Spent a 13 hour day driving to Vancouver for a friend’s wedding, woke up sick the next morning and didn’t want to pass it on to other people in the tiny apartment so just started driving back home as far as me on cold medicine will allow. Big long weekend and pride weekend L over here. 🙃

Canada is now an LNG exporter.

Our host Emiko Newman talks to Kiki Wood and Clark Williams-Derry about the real costs of LNG: climate, health, affordability, & the myth that LNG is a clean transition fuel.

Pipelines won’t unite Canada. Clean energy will Betting, once again, on the same fossil-fuel horse might be what keeps Canada from becoming the energy superpower it could be.

As @janellelapointe.bsky.social writes: "The rise of 'natural gas' as a climate solution and contributor to reconciliation is nothing more than a cunning strategy employed by industry to maintain their grip on our energy systems and profit off Indigenous lands."

🚨B.C. is planning to dump $200 million into a new LNG project.

This comes just days after the ICJ ruled that nations are legally responsible to limit harms from greenhouse gases — and may be liable for activities like the licensing and subsidizing of fossil fuel projects.

BC's Premier just announced $200M for transmission and compressors to electrify the Cedar LNG terminal. The fed govt also announced $200M in March. Here's the thing: Cedar LNG was approved 2 yrs ago conditional on electrification and its investors gave it a go-ahead 1 yr ago. Why do they need tax $?

Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody.

Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.

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.

While Palestinians in Gaza die of forced starvation, Netanyahu appeared on the Nelk Boys podcast joking about fast food and spouting lies. This disturbing convergence of war crimes & pop culture shows our collective detachment from humanity. 🧵

Here’s an example of one leader who will go down in history as a genocide collaborator because he refused to follow his obligations to international law.

But he did offer plenty of pretty words!

I’m big time blessed because I had folks from the NYC-DSA in a training I was facilitating the morning after he won, and I was so moved that they were in a training after such a huge win and it really put some faces to the types of everyday organizers, and years of groundwork, that were behind him.

Inside the Bill C-5 First Nations summit | The Narwhal I was at the First Nations summit on Bill C-5. It’s clear Mark Carney isn’t listening to Indigenous leaders.

First Nations have raised concerns about the Building Canada Act since it was introduced as part of Bill C-5.

As @rjjago.bsky.social found when he attended the First Nations Summit last week, the federal government isn’t ready to heed them thenarwhal.ca/first-nation...

Zohran fanaticism and pedestalizing to serve one’s individual, perfect politics is becoming too far removed from the relationship and power building needed to actualize the pieces of his campaign we all love, in our communities. Good policy needs power, power needs us rigorously base building.

Really proud to play a tiny role in this powerhouse report! Grateful for the young leaders on the frontlines of the PRGT fight for sharing their wisdom.

Absolutely. Need to keep building North & South solidarity. ✊🏽

Shoutout to the Guarani people for yerba maté because I wrote that Breach article (first draft in one shot, really late at night) and another upcoming article THE SAME DAY with no ADHD meds. All vibes and tea.

After narrowly escaping a far right government in the last election, we need a true organizer to be able to rebuild a leftist party that can stand up to David Eby and John Rustad.

Even more so, someone with true allyship and accountability to those on the frontlines of LNG expansion.

All of the promises around B.C.’s nascent liquefied natural gas, or LNG, industry are big, reporter @writermjs.bsky.social writes.
But what does it actually mean for the Canadian economy? And for your gas bills?
