I just signed this petition with Stand.earth: It is bad enough that the production and burning of LNG produces GHG's like coal without smoke. Shipping LNG endangers nearby communities. Where I live, Steveston, would be affected. Sign the petition: Stop Tilbury LNG at act.stand.earth/page/78758/p...

Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing people may use political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy to retain its power of exploitation & special privilege.” ~ Tommy Douglas

Because of Trump's war global gas prices are rising including Canada which has a surplus of fossil fuels. American billionaires & corporations that own Canada's oil & gas companies are making billions from the high prices. Canada should cap prices, tax the excess profit & subsidize public transit.

Great seeds that are well adapted to the Greater Vancouver climate. Highly recommend the tomatoes.

I had given up on the NDP. It is not the party of Tommy Douglas or the Dave Barrett in BC when I was MLA. Then along came Avi Lewis. I am pleased to endorse him as leader.

We are in an economic war with Trump. Climate change is hitting farm crops in the USA with drought. We import much of our vegetables from the US. The cost of food is going up. We need food independence. Plant a Victory Garden.

BC has some of the finest arable land in #Canada And w/ climate change northern BC having a longer growing season. We need t/b cautious allowing crypto farming and ai data farms cuz they use insane amounts of water & electricity better used for agriculture. #bcpoli #cdnpoli #ALR @bcndp.bsky.social

It's 85 seconds to midnight on the Doomsday Clock. The folks at the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists ended today's presentation with a call for a global people's revolution against the maniacs in charge. Well not exactly, but close! @mariaressa.bsky.social was 🔥 thebulletin.org/doomsday-clo...

Time to return to our roots.The Barrett NDP built more Co-op housing than any time in BC history; bought failing companies, Columbia Cellulose & Kootenay Forest products & ran at a profit; BC Ambulance service instead of private ambulances; neighbourhood pubs instead of hotel monopoly; to name a few

Federally the Green Party has collapsed and the NDP has become liberal. Here's why I support Avi Lewis for NDP leader. To Green supporters and NDP supporters and those who have abandoned the NDP, please join to support Avi Lewis and the best of both parties.

In Richmond BC downtown parks & trails have pipes in the ground supplying geothermal ground heat to downtown apartment buildings. We also use sewage heat.The system pays for itself in 17 yrs compared to 80-100 yrs for Site C Dam. Until 2022 I was on the Lulu Island Energy board. Solar should be next

Carney shouldn't pay any attention to David Eby's lust for LNG. #SiteC Dam destroyed 10,000 acres of the best farmland & produces power for fracking the Montenay gas fields & producing LNG. Exported gas produces far worse emissions than coal major study finds www.nationalobserver.com/2024/10/09/n...

Good news! California Refineries Close as Gasoline Demand Slips into Permanent Decline. This should end Alberta's demand for more pipelines. China is already a world leader in solar & ev's. With climate disaster imminent the world will follow California & China cleantechnica.com/2025/09/14/c...

Canada is a major importer of fruit, vegetables & fish. As more oil & gas is exported expect equal increases in the cost of food as the planet warms. BC could be self sufficient but our governments are allowing development on #ALR Land protected by the Barrett #NDP. #keepitintheground & #savetheALR

Elizabeth May is right. We aren't independent of the USA if we have to depend on American corporations to build and operate nuclear and LNG plants.

Interesting to note that the refineries that are closing are heavy sour crude refineries, the kind that process Canadian crude. As gasoline demand declines, this type of refinery closes first because it's the least profitable. Time for Alberta to diversify its economy.

Note that the two refineries together process around 284,000 barrels/day of heavy sour crude. As far as I know, heavy sour crude (in the form of dilbit) is the only grade of oil shipped to California from Canada.

Did you see the solar panels? We promoted solar on rooftops & over livestock grazing on pasture. We established an Agricultural Land Reserve to protect our limited farmland & scientists warned of desertification of farmland in the south & millions moving north as climate changes. It's happening now.

I found this history fascinating, especially how the US under Bush I a) pushed to create the IPCC to center government representatives, not scientists, in UN climate action; b) used the IPCC to block binding emission targets and carbon taxes on rich countries, which seemed imminent in 1988.

No surprise. In 1972 BC elected a science based social-democratic govt. for 3 1/2 yrs. We held science conferences on energy, decided against nuclear, opposed supertankers on our coast, & supertanker ports, banned offshore drilling & new dams, promoted LRT & held a week long alternative energy show

This makes me want to cry….if only….the road not taken. Yet, shows what we can do when the political pressure and actual information gets through.

The "vow to protect food security" is a ploy to force farmers to not do what they want to on their own land In the US for example, less than 0.5% of farmland has been converted to solar gardens which can easily be returned to farmland. Do you have any idea how much farmland has become subdivisions?

Grass grows very well under solar panels and grazing animals use panels for shelter from the hot sun in a warming climate.

As the cost of food rises due to drought in food producing areas and parts of the world have food shortages golf courses should be farmed. Livestock and some crops do well combined with solar farms.

here’s a curse word free version of “look it up” as requested by countless teachers and librarians 🥰😘

I left Twitter for Bluesky and then went back. The graph is right. Twitter is much less useful as we no longer have access to all the masses unless we pay Elon to get"verified" However, out of 10,000 friends I still have about 500 scientists & climate activists communicating together on Twitter.

Canada is one of the top ten CO2 emitters in the world. But that's not the whole story. Canada exports fossil fuels to other countries, increasing their CO2 emissions. Alberta is intent on building more pipelines and BC is intent on shipping LNG. It is past time to #keepitintheground.

Earth is crossing the 1.5°C global warming limit, two major studies show. A Canadian study showed that "June last year was the 12th consecutive month above the 1.5C warming level" Since the 1990 IPCC report CO2 emissions are up about 50%. Time has run out. theconversation.com/earth-is-alr...
