So nice to see you visiting Kamloops Emily, and GO greens! (but this is not the Okanagan)

David Eby was Attorney General when DRIPA passed *unanimously* in 2019… Now, Eby is spinelessly bending to Cons’ misinformation machine with snap-judgement. This province is stronger when everyone is at the table, and that’s why the BC Greens will fight to uphold Indigenous rights and title. #bcpoli

Most of Carney’s ‘major projects’ will rely quite a bit on Canadians’ anti-Indigenous racism to get built. He’s counting on a bigoted majority to agree that FNMI rights and livelihoods can be violated to make CanadaStrong™️. It’s cynical af, don’t fall for it.

-no profits for his friends/banks
-he sees reconciliation as Trudeau’s project and wants his own legacy
-anti-Indigenous racism is the status quo he’s not interested in challenging

Pathetic all around.

Trans rights activists have joined forces with labour unions in Saskatchewan to fight anti-trans legislation

It's a model that should be employed nationwide to combat laws against vulnerable groups, writes @desaima.bsky.social

New recycling tech recovers nearly pure nickel and cobalt from old EV batteries Researchers have developed an eco-friendly recycling tech that extracts 99 percent pure nickel and cobalt from waste batteries.

Please remind me again what the recycle rate for fossil fuels is

Hey @mark-carney.bsky.social let’s burn more fossil fuels and then increase shipping everywhere, what could go wrong

What!? That's ALL?

Good lord, just 10x it. We wouldn't even notice it on our taxes.

Watching the Canadian professional political class trying to replicate Mamdami on comms alone. Nah. That man hit the streets and listened, then translated what he heard into policy. No shortcuts, just work.

Winter afternoons along the Thompson River at Kamloops/Tk’emlups are getting washed out bright and I don’t like it. Turn that shit off.

Canada doesn’t want to build petro processing capacity because it blow the whole “powering a clean energy transition with fossil fuels” lie wide open if we had to count ALL the actual emissions from tar sands to tailpipes.

What if we were our own best customer for oil and gas, too? Instead of shipping it offshore to enrich multinationals and pollute elsewhere?

The primary solution to homelessness is homes. If you can build homes and refuse to, you’re part of the problem. It looks a whole lot like the real problem is that Penticton hates poor people. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
