The far right have dominated social media for too long.
It's time to take the fight to the fascist disinformation gangs.
We can build an international network of resistance.

Canadaโ€™s Conservatives canโ€™t quit their grocery price politicking Climate change is obviously driving up the cost of food. Why canโ€™t Canadaโ€™s Conservatives admit it?

Climate change is a far bigger contributor to food price inflation than federal climate policies in Canada. At some point, even the most blinkered Conservative partisan is going to have to face up to this politically inconvenient truth, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes.

Real pride. Real partnership. Big smiles with Chief and Council of the Lake Babine First Nation, as we sign the expansion of their Woodland License.

This is what true reconciliation looks like. Itโ€™s a powerful thing, and an honour to be part of.

Wildfires are a reality for people in Northeast BC.

Yet with their endurance & the work of the BC Wildfire Service, they always bounce back. Now leaders in wildfire innovation, clean energy.

Taking a moment at the BCWS Base to discuss some of the wisdom Iโ€™ve learned from them.

Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day!

I spent it in Vancouver, celebrating with Joan Phillip, Phyllis Webstad, and others.

This is such an important day. We need to set an example for our children that Indigenous culture is something to be cherished, and that we all belong together.

In the coming days we will deploy BC Wildfire Service personnel to Manitoba to help battle a challenging start to their wildfire season.

During wildfire season, we must ensure our livestock is protected too.

Farmers and ranchers are encouraged to register the location of their livestock, through the Premises ID program. Just one way we can keep animals out of harmโ€™s way.

B.C. groups demand inquest in deaths of young Indigenous women Justice for Girls, UBCIC, the B.C. Civil Liberties Association joined the families of 3 women to demand an inquest into their deaths.

'Theyโ€™re dismissed. They are not fully investigated. And quite frankly, that has to change.'

Justice for Girls and the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs are among the groups calling for a coronerโ€™s inquest into the deaths of three young Indigenous women.

CW: residential schools

CBC News issued a correction for a correct statement.

There have been remains found.

A fragment of a childโ€™s jawbonewas found at a site in Saskatchewan. The remains of aย child under five were found at a former school near Edmonton.

What Rosie Barton said was correct.
