ICYMI: in light of the rise in residential school denialism and anti-Indigenous racism, Phyllis Webstad, Willie Sellars, and I sat down for a conversation about how to confront denialism and put truth before reconciliation: youtu.be/RorHgy5Kl5c

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...

This is why we need to keep calling it what it is: FRACKED METHANE GAS

Why carbon capture increases CO2, air pollution, fossil mining, fossil infrastructure, energy costs, and social costs. CC is neither needed or helpful. The Myth of Carbon Capture and Storage Podcast with @jennyyeremiy.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=6X5M...

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

“My name is Brent Toderian. I’m a resident of Vancouver. I’m also a city planner, a former chief planner for Vancouver, and now an advisor to cities across Canada & around the world. Council knows I don’t make a habit of this. I can count on one hand the times I’ve spoken to council as a citizen.”

Fracked methane gas extraction is a disaster that #Canada will not recover from Carney's selling us out. www.theenergymix.com/canada-recei...

We should all be calling for Dallas Brodie’s resignation from the Legislature

“Calling projects like Ksi Lisims and #LNG Canada in the ‘national interest’ ignores the harm they are causing to Canadians and the reality that they drive the #ClimateCrisis instead of solving it.” — West Coast Lawyer @singingwithin.bsky.social #cdnpoli

Today, 37 civil society organizations, including CCLA, signed a joint letter urging the government to reverse course on Bill C-9 and pursue community-based approaches that protect vulnerable groups without compromising rights and freedoms. Read more here. ccla.org/press-releas...

If you love libraries, community centres, parks, arts and culture in Vancouver, and don't want to see them cut in order to increase the police budget by half a BILLION dollars, send a message to let city council know that their cuts are not what people voted for: www.votecope.ca/stopsim

mainstream media is taking zero notice of Bill C2 thats going after privacy rights in the name of 'border security' and targets Land Defenders or Bill C9 which targets Palestine protests and Police direct power to lay Hate Crime charges for subjective reasons bccla.org/policy-submi...

An expensive project to export Canada’s resources, getting subsidy after subsidy. A way to diversify Prairie exports away from a single buyer, but with major opposition from affected First Nations. Promises of prosperity. Icebergs. My column this week, about the historical echoes of Ksi Lisims.

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

Love to see community action against this AI nonsense! neighborhoodview.org/2025/11/13/d...

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

“This budget is basically just ’Trust me bro.’” Vancouver city councillors got an earful Wednesday and Thursday from residents opposed to a proposed budget that would freeze property taxes and is expected to increase fees and cut services. @jenstden.bsky.social reports. #vanpoli

The Carney gov't is proposing six more large-scale infrastructure projects—three of which directly impact Indigenous peoples.  Hear more on APTN News Brief:

In Terrace yesterday, Prime Minister Mark Carney sidestepped questions about US ownership and First Nations opposition to the Ksi Lisims LNG export terminal, which has been added to a list of projects the feds plan to expedite. My latest for @thetyee.ca. thetyee.ca/News/2025/11...

While PM Carney’s fast-tracking initiative has been touted as a response to U.S. President Trump’s trade war, critics have pointed out the projects are largely backed by foreign-owned corporations — and include substantial U.S. investment. @amandafollett.bsky.social reports. #uspoli #canpoli #LNG

Ironically, PM Carney skipped COP30 in Brazil, to announce that the federal government will fast-track the American-owned Ksi Lisims liquefied natural gas project in British Columbia. 👎😒 Media release> dsfdn.org/CarneySkipsC...

Canada is a #ClimateDisaster as it approves fracked methane gas that PREVENTS the transition to renewable energy we need. Shame on Carney.

There is a lot of wisdom on so many levels in this article. It touches on loss of identity after being fired, how writing keeps some of us sane, and the disgusting purge of racialized, progressive voices from mainstream media.

We’ve just learned that Mayor Ken Sim plans to eliminate Vancouver’s entire Climate and Sustainability Office under his “Zero Means Zero” budget. This would gut the city’s climate team and undo decades of work that protect residents’ health and safety. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/11/n...

“In his final budget before facing voters next October, Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim is presenting a property tax freeze and $50 million more for police, & major cuts to arts, culture, community services & sustainability.” Brutal austerity for everything else, but $50 million more for over-budget cops.

Vancouver City Council is set to vote on an austerity budget that would cut $120M from services protecting health, climate, and equity. Vulnerable residents, clean energy programs, and more of the services we value are at risk. 1/

In her book Sarah Wynn-Williams writes about how people in Zuck’s orbit would let him win at games and he was too thick to see what was going on. Our billionaire ruling class is so petty that’s the kind of thing that must’ve really set him off when he read it.

Vancouver had 117 people die during the 2021 heat dome climate disaster.

The highest value is more time with a livable climate that supports biodiversity. Dredging the Burrard inlet only fuels climate disasters and speeds up mass extinction. Disappointing to see the BC NDP throw us all under the bus www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Another thing I want to mention is that eSims are becoming incrementally more expensive over time… #ConnectingGaza
