If genocide isn't your redline, then you have no redlines. The Sydney Harbour Bridge was closed temporarily as tens of thousands of Australians made their voices heard against Israel's genocide in Gaza. #FreePalestine #3E

My new video about the Texas flood is now live on my YouTube channel The Cutblock, where I break down the key factors that made this flood such an unmitigated disaster – natural landscape features, climate-fuelled storms and bad land-use decisions all played a role. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_PR...

A new study by UBC hydrologists, including my film subject Dr. Younes Alila, should be sending shockwaves through the BC Ministry of Forests and the timber industry. The study finds clearcut logging increases extreme floods by 18x and effects persist for up to 40 years. news.ubc.ca/2025/07/clea...

Great reporting from @stefanlabbe.bsky.social about how work done by @stand.earth, @wildernews.bsky.social and @wildsight.bsky.social has identified 5,713 hectares of forest proposed and approved for logging across the ranges of three of BC's most at-risk caribou herds. www.biv.com/news/environ...

I'm excited to have @thenarwhal.ca present my new documentary, 'Trouble in the Headwaters'. The film investigates the 2018 flood of Grand Forks, BC and unravels the latest science around forestry and flooding by UBC hydrologist Dr. Younes Alila. Go watch the full film on The Narwhal this weekend! 📽️🌲

Tickets are going fast for the first Vancouver screening of my new film Trouble in the Headwaters on July 5 at UBC. It's a free event so reserve a seat while you still can. My film will be playing alongside "The Salmon Forest Project" by Bill Heath. Book here >> secure.campaigner.com/csb/Public/s...

What’s going on around Grand Forks, B.C.? In 2018, devastating floods displaced more than 100 families — and the threat of more floods remains. Trouble in the Headwaters is a short doc exploring the upstream impacts of industrial clearcut logging in the Kettle River watershed. Stay tuned 📽️

Tickets are going fast for our Victoria premiere of my new film 'Trouble in the Headwaters' this Thursday, June 12th. Get your tickets while you still can! www.eventbrite.ca/e/the-narwha...

Some rare good news that BC Timber Sales will be pausing logging in critical endangered mountain caribou habitat. www.biv.com/news/bc-timb...

Tolko is pausing operations in Armstrong and White Valley. My thoughts are of course with the workers who are affected. But blaming "B.C. regulatory and policy burden" is a bit rich. They ran out of wood and they're blaming everyone but themselves. www.castanet.net/news/Vernon/...

This is a great funding opportunity for journalists reporting on biodiversity issues in BC. I had a great experience with it, being one of the recipients last year. It enabled me to make a new film that will be coming out this month (!!!) Go apply! www.messengersofbiodiversity.org

I have an unfounded belief that Pierre Poilievre was in fact "Pierre Poutine" from the 2011 robocall scandal.

Here's my latest video for my new YouTube channel The Cutblock digging into Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's track record as lifelong politician and his deep ties to the oil and gas industry. Go check it out and give me a sub and a like if you dig what I'm doing. youtu.be/-33srMiRgzE?...

Who is Mark Carney? Here's a breakdown on my new Youtube channel The Cutblock of the Liberal leader's background and what he stands on climate change, environmental issues, and a little about his shady history in the world of private equity. I'll be doing Poilievre next. youtu.be/aJ4AJg8xo8c

My first interview for The Cutblock is now online with journalist and author @joanbaxter.bsky.social. We had a fantastic conversation about the sorry state of climate politics in this federal election and the fossil fuel industry's relentless disaster capitalism. youtu.be/swWDIWRxPNA?...

I'm excited to share my new YouTube channel, The Cutblock. I'll be covering news and politics at the intersection of the climate, resource economy, environmental issues, indigenous rights, labour, ecological solutions, and more. Here's a welcome video. Please go subscribe! youtu.be/ai5CX5F8_K0?...

A bill is currently working its way through Congress that would open up more industrial clearcutting by private timber companies in US public forests, under the guise of wildfire mitigation. Timber companies are pushing for the same failed strategies here in BC. It's disaster capitalism 101.

So accurate 😆

The Trump administration's economic agenda: "The factories of the future will not be run by Americans, but by small robots, and as you go forth, remember, your duty is clear: to build and maintain those robots." youtu.be/lj1MCjeFxrM?...

This week in headlines. Any one of these stories would normally be a five-alarm fire. The human brain is not able to process this much brazen corruption and war crimes all at once. But when people stop getting their treats... that's when the pitchforks come out.

when other nations impose retaliatory tariffs

I'm excited to share the trailer for Wildfire, a 5-part doc series I had the pleasure of working on as a story editor. I learned so much from director @kevineastwood.bsky.social and the whole team. It's going to be a great show. Go watch it on @knowledge.ca starting April 29th!

EXCLUSIVE: This new @desmog.bsky.social map should prove once and for all that Pierre Poilievre is doing blue collar cosplay. Pull back the facade, and there are deep ties b/t Canada's Conservative leader and an army of corporate lobbyists and rightwing operatives. www.desmog.com/2025/03/25/p...

I'm glad that the BC government is stepping up to help Merritt with dike upgrades. But until we address this problem at its root – excessive clearcut logging in watersheds – these dikes will be battered by more frequent floods and are likely over time to be breached. www.youtube.com/watch?v=viSI...

Something big is happening

The great untold story of the 2021 BC floods and landslides is how clearcut logging contributed to the carnage. 'At some places along the rivers, landslides originating in burned or logged areas were dumping a “conveyor belt” of sediment into the water.' @stefanlabbe.bsky.social shorturl.at/DwsIi

Crucial piece from @bsaxifrage.bsky.social about the out of control forest emissions in Canada. Through logging and wildfires, our forests are responsible for more emissions than 150 other countries — and it's getting worse as the climate crisis deepens. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/19/a...

These reports from Barry Saxifrage @nationalobserver.com on Canada's forest carbon tipping point are always terrifying... but the fascinating infographics really take the edge off :) www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/19/a...

Zoë is doing some of the best BC forestry reporting in the game. Go read her latest piece in @thetyee.ca about forest landscape planning. Is it the the "paradigm shift" we need or just "moving the deck chairs around on the Titanic?" Btw this is my first Bluesky tweet! Do we call them tweets?
