B.C Assessment plans to cut the taxable value of pipelines by hundreds of millions, developed with industry, not communities. Local governments warn this could shift taxes onto residents or mean service cuts. Once again: corporate tax breaks, public burden. 💸 #BCPoli #ClimateJustice

Ontario's loss of protections following the passing of Bill 5 will touch all at-risk species, great and small. Habitat loss is a huge priority for biodiversity and the climate, but the way Ontario has re-defined habitat is so narrow that it puts most species at greater risk. #Ontario #Biodiversity

Today, families in #Jamaica are paying the price for ongoing criminal conduct by oil & gas billionaires. How do you feel about @mark-carney.bsky.social & @davidebybc.bsky.social subsidizing these same criminals to extract more #fossilfuels? www.theguardian.com/environment/... #cdnpoli #bcpoli

Plans for a housing mega-development near the Ottawa Greenbelt have divided the city’s council. What do the neighbours think? @meyer.bsky.social visited the area to find out. Our latest newsletter: thenarwhal.ca/newsletter-t...

In the first 100 days of office, PM Mark #Carney opened the doors to industry #lobbyists, but environmental groups couldn’t get a meeting. How will this affect our lands, waters, and climate? Let’s keep asking the tough questions. 💚 Good investigation by @thenarwhal.ca

How to lie with stats: BC had ~57M ha old growth (~48M loggable). Now 11.1M remain; <2M loggable. Govt’s ~80% protected looks bigger only because the base is smaller. That’s not protection, it’s math games.🌲 @ancientforestbc.bsky.social @wildernews.bsky.social #bcpoli #OldGrowth #BCForestry #Walbran

@ecojusticecanada.bsky.social is challenging B.C.’s approval for the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission #pipeline. After 10 years of delay, the company rushed minimal clearing before its certificate expired, yet the EAO still called it “substantially started.” #StopPRGT #Skeena #PRGT

Fracking pumps hidden chemicals into land, water, and air, yet in Canada, these toxics are still exempt from public reporting. Tracking Fracking asks: why are communities denied the right to know what’s in their environment? #Fracking #Toxics #ClimateJustice #WaterProtection #FossilFuels #LNG

Once nearly wiped out by whaling, humpbacks are making a remarkable return to the Salish Sea. From “Big Mama” to new calves and songs that echo like human language, Salish Sea Sings Again celebrates resilience, recovery, and the whales’ vital role in our climate. #Humpbacks #SalishSea #Conservation

In the Anthropocene, survival is no longer just about humans. As species vanish and ecosystems collapse, grief becomes a necessary teacher. Human Grief asks: how do we mourn, adapt, and transform so we are not the sole survivors? #Extinction #Grief #MoreThanHuman #Decolonization

From political violence in Europe to deepening divides in the US, polarization is tearing societies apart. Us vs. Them explores the roots of this crisis, inequality, elite rivalry, and hardened identities, and asks how we might choose cooperation over conflict. #Politics #Division #Inequality
