This is not about assigning blame. It's about understanding the full spectrum of factors that led to such a devastating event and developing meaningful recommendations to prevent it from happening again. Mental health supports, policing responses, health & housing, firearms access, AI and more.

Congratulations to Hannah Spencer and Zack Polanski. Greens across the world are proving that this fight is one we can win. #globalpolitics #greensweep 💚 @greenparty.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social

"The blithe assumption progressives have nowhere else to go has been proved catastrophically wrong."
This applies to voters here in BC, as well. Vote Green!

The BC Conservatives helped push forward a bill to abolish the Human Rights Code.

These politicians use threats on the rights of marginalized British Columbians to divide the working class. We won’t let them.

The only minority making life harder for British Columbians is the ultra-rich. #bcpoli

YouTube video by BC Green Caucus BC Green MLA Botterell on protecting old growth forests

Today BC Green MLA Botterell asked the Minister of Forests to protect BC's last remaining old growth.

It was disappointing to hear the Minister blame CARGA for his government's 5 years of neglect of the Old Growth Strategic Review. His majority government has the power to act.

Paramedics and dispatchers are on the frontlines of our healthcare crisis. This budget has shown all of us that the BC NDP is not interested in improving their working conditions. I stand with CUPE 873 — see you on the picket line. @apbc873.bsky.social #bcpoli

Amazon is doing what they do best — exploiting workers. I stand with Unifor Local 114 and call on the BCLRB to accept their request for a mediator. It’s billionaires against the rest of us. #bcpoli

Great @maddow.bsky.social recap on our successful Pattison ICE boycott🧊🚫
To keep up the pressure against ICE in Canada - follow @democracyrisingnow on Hootsuite actions, keep sharing and educating your community, and donate to relief funds for families impacted by ICE.

Foreign corporations get billions in taxpayer funding. What do they do with it? Strip our resources and leave working people to pay for the mess.

It’s the BC NDP playbook: privatize the profits, socialize the costs.

"a recent report from B.C.’s auditor general found cleanup at the Port Alice mill accounted for 97 per cent of all taxpayer-funded spill response between 2016 and 2020. Six years ago, Port Alice’s spill response costs were tallied at $13.5 million. As of last year, costs have risen to $170 million."

The multi-billion problem Canada’s oilpatch doesn’t want to disclose Canada's oil and gas industry is a fiscal time bomb due to oil well cleanup liabilities that have been kept off the books.

Big news for the Riverside Park Skating Loop! ⛸️❄️

Starting Wednesday, February 4, skate rentals and on-site skate sharpening are officially available, making it easier than ever to jump on the ice, whether you’re a first-timer or a regular loop-lapper.

Mill closures, drought, climate change, tariffs, and wildfires have shaken workers and families, and devastated towns and ecosystems. BC’s forestry industry cannot continue to function the way it has, and we cannot risk another short-term fix.
