Canada’s anti-greenwashing rules protect our health, but they’re under threat. Send a message to Ottawa: don’t give fossil fuel companies the license to lie to us. Choose truth, health and transparency instead. cape.ca/action/prote...

Hey folks take a minute please. Look at this and sign on.

This won't magically get better when we zero our emissions, it'll just stop getting worse. At least it will if we don't trip tipping points first, so we should hurry with the emissions zeroing. www.fox13seattle.com/news/residen...

Just uploading a video I shot in Abbotsford. 2025 floods on Sumas prairie. With reflections on youtu.be/1AW28LP--vM?...

9:20 pm update. Major highways between Lower Mainland and Interior closed due to flooding, falling rock/debris, high avalanche hazards. “Very important” to avoid unnecessary travel in Fraser Valley to clear roads for evacs www.drivebc.ca/advisories/f...

B.C. emergency management: • Access between Lower Mainland and Interior closed • Nooksack River topped its banks around 2pm, water going across border to Sumas prairie • Rainfall in Fraser Valley now easing up • Nooksack flows expected to peak ~10pm, hold til 4-6am, then decline

B.C. Flood Warning Live: Evacuation alerts issued for Abbotsford's Sumas Prairie West and Clayburn Village vancouversun.com/news/local-n...

Current road closures: • Highway 7 Closed due to rockslide • Highway 1 - Highway 9 to Hope - Closed eastbound • Highway 5 (Coquihalla) - closed both directions between Hope and Merrit due to flooding at Sowaqua • Sumas border closed to commercial traffic www.drivebc.ca/advisories/f...

City of Abbotsford declares state of local emergency. Evacuation order issued for 371 properties in Sumas Prairie West, evacuation alerts for Sumas Prairie East and remain in place for rest of Sumas Prairie West and Clayburn Village. experience.arcgis.com/experience/2...

History time settlers-Sumas Lake is where Abbotsford & Chilliwack are located. Settlers drained the lake to make way for farmland over 120 years ago. Mother Earth says “No.” 🪶😡 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

City of Sumas, just across border from Abbotsford, sounds flood siren and recommends evacuation as Nooksack River is expected to overtop its banks. Abbotsford issuing evacuation alerts for properties in Sumas Prairie West and Clayburn Village

Evacuation orders issued for Sumas: If you are in WA and receive evacuation orders due to flooding, please take them seriously.

BREAKING: Evacuation alerts issued for large parts of western Sumas Prairie. This includes large parts of Highway 1 and all bits west of the old Sumas lakebed. www.abbotsford.ca/city-hall/ne...

BREAKING: Officials in Sumas, Wash., immediately south of Abbotsford will be sounding their flood siren that warns residents to evacuate. This is a sign of likely flooding in Sumas Prairie in Abbotsford. www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=...

Breaking: Gitanyow Hereditary Chiefs write to 40+ banks, pensions & credit agencies calling on them to not finance or invest in Ksi Lisims #LNG project in BC, Canada - warn of financial, legal and environmental risks. Letter endorsed by 125 NGOs. #greensky www.gitanyowchiefs.com/news/gitanyo...

Very cool to see @calgary.ca buying 120 clean electric buses and saving residents $900,000 per bus over their lifetime! Cleaner, quieter, lower fuel costs, better air quality, better acceleration, using the savings to pay off the loans #priceless globalnews.ca/news/1155424...

TLDR: "Electric heat pumps are six to eight times more efficient than heating with gas. And gas companies will act deceptively to prevent you from knowing this." www.vancouverisawesome.com/highlights/r...

Catastrophic flooding costs Abbotsford billions. Why should taxpayers be the only ones paying? Local governments can hold climate polluters accountable by joining 11 other BC municipalities to recover a fair share of costs and build a more resilient future. Story by jungangela_ for @globalnews

It’s almost that time of year again!!! ❄️☃️ That’s right, just a few days till the 2nd Annual BetterPensionsBC Advent Calendar!🎄🛷 Check back here starting December 1st - every day we’ll profile another AWFUL firm that BCI + BC Public Sector Pension Plans invest in! 🎁🎅 (Here’s last year’s calendar👇)

This is brilliant BC Hydro is improving the EV charging experience by enabling roaming with partners so that a person doesn’t need half a dozen accounts to charge their car. They can just use one account on any of the networks.

🧐 "Fossil fuels are only going to get more expensive and renewables are only going to get cheaper" is both true & something the public is already inclined to believe (or at the very least is persuadable).

China's electrification transition is dramatic, and leaving us in the dust. So much for LNG-powered trucks! China and soon India are leapfrogging to the new. And our leaders pushing LNG and retreating on ZEVs look sad & vision-less in comparison. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/19/n...

Very cool to see Manitoba Hydro building EV chargers North from Winnipeg to Churchill along Highway 6. Rural infrastructure like this is necessary to make cleaner transportation viable. Thank you. driveteslacanada.ca/news/manitob...

66% of all solar and 69%(!) of all wind installed globally this year, will be installed in China🤯🇨🇳

Good morning with good news: Poland's coal plunged from 91.1% of its electricity in June 2015 to a record low monthly share of 42.9% in June 2025! Down 48.2 points of market share in just 10 years. How? Mostly Wind/Solar. They jumped from 4% in June 2015 to 38.9% in June 2025. #energysky

Dear PM Carney Solar & wind power aren’t just better for the climate; they’re also less expensive today than fossil fuels at utility scale, and less harmful to people’s health Smith killed green energies in Alberta. How is she getting away with so much harm? theconversation.com/renewable-en...

Stop expanding polluting technologies please. Old dirty technology like oil and gas keep is dependent on foreign owned oil companies. Electricity is abundant, safer, cleaner and more Canadian in ownership of generation and transmission.

“Methane emissions across the supply chain are a key indicator of poor environmental and operational practices in the fossil fuel industry. Reducing [them] in the energy sector is the most effective and rapid way to cut greenhouse gases in the short term.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Just did some digging with Gemini into the options in BC for balcony solar, time of day billing arbitrage with a battery and it looks like our current regulations shoot this idea down. Scroll to the bottom for a digestible 6 min pod-cast of the research. gemini.google.com/share/3c6b4f...

NEW: California now has nearly 17,000 megawatts of battery storage – reaching one-third of the way to our 2045 goal. We're deploying more battery storage than any state in America, building a stronger grid, cutting pollution, and securing a safer future for our nation.

Wrote a short blogpost about how independent journalism supports and is necessary for the fight against climate change. fvclimateaction.org/why-independ...

Helpful content from the Guardian on Information Overload. We’re in a new era: the Information Crisis www.theguardian.com/books/2025/n...

Exciting to see how grid-battery storage is growing, makes economic sense, provides stability to the grid and is helping control "surge" pricing for more affordable electricity.

Europe's economy is strong. People are generally happy. Employment and health are good. AND Europe is steadily decreasing the carbon intensity of its economy. Canada should follow suit.

Countries are phasing out dirty coal power plants. Will Canada join them? or continue this polluting technology.

Global EV sales continue to grow. More and more people want good EVs.

Exporting Methane (marketed as "natural gas") to the world market might sound like an exciting business opportunity for oil and gas companies. What will it mean if those prices affect the prices Canadians pay? #affordability #LNG #Pipeline #naturalGas

According to the International Institute for Sustainable development. Canada spent 0.16 per cent of its gross domestic product (GDP) on fossil fuel subsidies compared to 0.06 per cent on support for renewable power on average between 2020 and 2023.

Uh hey Alberta? Fighting climate change is like golf. You want a low score on CO2 pollution, not a high one.

Surely British Columbia (BC) is leading the way on climate action in Canada. (I will not say LNG, I will not say fracking, I will not say oil tankers, I will not say pipeline, I will not say outdated building codes...) Here is a chart.

If you live in Chilliwack or the Fraser Valley you might be interested to know. REGENERATE BC is putting on a 5-part series on climate solutions Starting Jan 4 2026 (7PM), UFV Chilliwack Campus

Canadians hardly pollute at all compared to...<insert country person doesn't really know much about> I'll just leave chart here for your perusal.

As a Canadian, do you feel your country is doing enough to fight climate change? I'll just leave this chart here for your perusal.

Grid Scale Solar displaces polluting electric generation. Makes grids less dependent on expensive imports (energy independence). With Battery it extends into the evening preventing ramping of polluting gas generators. California has the proof. #CAISO #SOLAR #Batteries #Grid

…and the climate re systemic risks posed by emissions-intensive activities; (f) ensuring climate expertise on boards + disclosing conflicts of interest; and (g) requiring action plans, targets + progress reports re. climate commitments through reporting requirements. 👍 @senrosagalvez.bsky.social

… c) ensuring supervisory + reg. authorities develop appropriate oversight + capital adequacy requirements; (d) requiring directors, officers + admin. to align entities w/climate commitments; e) promoting timely + meaningful progress towards alignment w/stability of both the financial system…. 4/x

CAFA would establish climate commitments + obligations of federal entities + federally-regulated financial entities by e.g.: (a) setting baseline requirements to achieve climate commitments; (b) providing greater certainty + transparency for responsibilities re the global carbon budget; 3/x

Here’s more👇about the Climate-Aligned Finance Act (CAFA), which @senrosagalvez.bsky.social just reintroduced. She says CAFA “is essential because Canada’s reliance on fossil fuel financing is increasing systemic risk… We need structural rules, not wishful thinking.” Indeed. 2/x

This is smart science based Canadian economic policy. With vision for our leadership.
