For the past few months, Pete Fry has been very lukewarm about running for Mayor of Vancouver. But at the UBCM conference, he’s seemed much more open to the idea, and supporters in other municipalities are talking him up to me. Here’s my story on the speculation, and what comes next.

The BC Greens are proud to announce Emily Lowan as our new Party Leader! An organizer, advocate, and strategist, Emily has spent over a decade fighting for climate justice, Indigenous solidarity, and democratic renewal.

Yesterday, a letter from a leadership contestant’s legal counsel was released to the media, indicating they are considering litigation over the party’s ID verification process. Here's interim Leader Jeremy Valeriote's statement: bcgreens.ca/statement-fr...

MLA Rob Botterell: “It has been five years since the release of the Old Growth Strategic Review, and while this should be a moment to celebrate bold action to protect old growth, instead we are marking half a decade of delay, indecision, and government inaction.” Full statement: bit.ly/41NedpP

My thoughts are with Minister Bowinn Ma, her family, and her constituency staff, after a serious incident at her office. Everyone deserves to be safe at work, including all MLAs and constituency staff. We want our very best to serve this province, and we must keep them safe while they serve.

Earlier this month, David Eby and the BC NDP quietly approved the controversial PRGT fracked gas pipeline. All while wildfires rage across BC. This is climate denial in action. We’re reinvoking our call to stop the PRGT pipeline. ✍️ Add your name at bcgreens.ca/petitions/stop-prgt #StopPRGT

The BC NDP is off track on climate action. CleanBC won’t hit its 2030 target of 40% — unless we demand real change. Like you, the BC Greens are tired of waiting. Show your concern and sign the petition for climate accountability from this government: bcgreens.ca/petitions/climate-action-petition

It's no secret that BC is off track on climate targets, and the CleanBC review is a critical chance to course-correct. We welcome this move but call for bold, accountable action. bcgreens.ca/bc-greens-welcome-cleanbc-review-as-opportunity-to-get-climate-goals-back-on-track #BCPoli #climateaction

NEW - BC will be declaring Friday a provincial day of mourning following the Lapu Lapu Day tragedy. #bcpoli

The BC NDP admits they are missing climate targets — on track for just an 18% cut by 2030 instead of the promised 40%. No new plan, rising emissions, more LNG, and more greenwashing. British Columbians deserve real action, not empty promises. bcgreens.ca/bc-greens-ca... #CleanBC #ClimateCrisis

Our full statement on the tragic events at the Lapu Lapu Festival in Vancouver last night. Our hearts are with the Filipino community.

I’m saddened to hear about the senseless tragedy that occurred at Lapu Lapu Day in south Vancouver last night. People deserve to celebrate their culture without the threat of violence. This is a terrible tragedy for both the Vancouver and Filipino community.

We’re celebrating the first official victory delivered under the Confidence and Supply Agreement (CARGA) between the BC Greens and the BC NDP — and it’s a big one! news.gov.bc.ca/releases/202...

April Fools! Except the joke’s on the BC NDP - because they actually think they’re still climate leaders. The same party that fought an election campaign on Axing the (Carbon) Tax in 2009, then embraced it as a key climate tool… is now ready to dump it again! bcgreens2024.ca/bc-greens-ex...

Thrilled to share we've reached an agreement with BC NDP on the Cooperation and Responsible Government Accord. Exciting updates coming on healthcare, housing, transit, affordability, tariffs and more. Get the full scoop👉https://bcgreens2024.ca/bcndp-bc-greens-finalize-agreement #bcpoli #CARGA

BC's 2025 budget treads water. Short-term fixes, no real plan for the future. BC needs bold action, not another ICBC rebate. #bcpoli bcgreens2024.ca/budget-2025-...
