In response to consumer demand for higher-welfare products, grocery members of the Retail Council of Canada collectively pledged in 2016 to sell only cage-free eggs by the end of 2025. Nine years later, none have stepped up to fulfill that promise. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/25/o...

I hope every Indigenous person in BC reads this.

The emergency resolution to institute a 2-way arms embargo with Israel, take Israeli liquor off shelves, and support Gazan resettlement failed at UBCM today. How did your local electeds vote? #freePalestine

"If you're talking to the shelfish industry and communities that are very intimately connected to mussels and oysters … they will be able to tell you that they're worried" because they are seeing those species under stress" www.cbc.ca/news/climate...

I'm ecstatic that @emilylowan.bsky.social is the new Leader of the #BCGreens The future is bright for the party. #bcpoli

Report from two Australian doctors who made it into Gaza, putting their own lives at incredible risk as Israel is massively bombing the hospital. No supplies, no soap, dead everywhere, "1500 buried under the rubble". This is beyond insane.

Quite frankly, I'm surprised Sturko lasted this long. Getting into bed with homophobes, residential school denialists and misanthropes couldn't have been easy. #bcpoli www.comoxvalleyrecord.com/news/breakin...

BC government agency BC Timber Sales auctioning at-risk #oldgrowth #forests recommended for logging deferrals, 5 years after the provincial promises to fully implement the Old Growth Strategic Review is gut-wrenching, for present and future generations #bcpoli www.timescolonist.com/local-news/l...

How quickly do we forget? Apparently 4 years. #bcpoli #climateaction

I see @yfblanchet.bsky.social @dleblancnb.bsky.social @gregorrobertson.bsky.social standing. Disgusting.

Red Chris mine (co-owned by the same company responsible for the Mount Polley disaster) has been fined a second time in less than three months, in addition to its years-long record of noncompliance. Yet Canada has fast-tracked its expansion as one of five "nation-building" projects.

The 1000s of farmers and farm worker members of the @nfucanada.bsky.social denounce Israel’s deliberate attack on #Palestinian seeds and agricultural heritage & renew calls for the CDN government to implement a 2-way arms embargo & diplomatic & economic sanctions www.nfu.ca/nfu-condemns...

I love a good news story, especially from a region that I've been to. Farmers in Assam get support to increase the climate resiliency of their homes, using local design upgrades and local materials. Win-win. reasonstobecheerful.world/assam-india-...

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

If you are concerned about what you eat and want to know what you're putting in your body, the latest move by the Canadian government to sneak in new, novel products that are genetically modified without labeling is really abhorrent. Sign the petition!

This is outrageous. I am furious. Yes oppose political violence, but Kirk spewed hate speech, not ‘a political opinion.’ And he wasn’t Canadian. Stop platforming this racist bigot. Did the PM himself stand for this?

It's called "Maple Washing." Sticking up a Maple Leaf on US products! #cdnpoli

Wow! I'm actually impressed! Finally some upstream investment in prevention. Let's hope these funds are long term.

Looks like a conservative wish list to me with the exceptions of the wind project and the rail. More LNG to destroy the climate, commercially unproven nuclear technology and totally debunked carbon capture to distract from the climate destruction.

Considering Premier Eby's latest comments on Temporary Foreign Workers, it seems this article on "Remigration" is prescient. Sounds like Eby has take a chapter out of this hateful book when he spews garbage about immigrants filling up shelters and food banks. www.antihate.ca/remigration_...

This is quite the endorsement! #BCGReens

Curious how this is landing with the BC Agriculture Council. Cancelling TFWs will be a huge shock to many farms in BC. #foodsecurity #bcpoli

Proud of the @bcgreens.bsky.social for taking such a pro-worker stance. There's no economy without labour.

I haven't stepped into a Loblaws for almost a year and enjoy supporting farmer's markets and independent grocers in my community. The more customers they get, the easier for them to stay in business! #foodsystem #buylocal www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This gives me lots of hope as we also pursue lawsuits against BigOil too. #climateaction @bcgreens.bsky.social

Do you know a young person in BC, 15-29, who is interested in food systems? This program might be for them! Rise Up! is now accepting applications for the 2025-2026 program year. www.riseup-phabc.ca #publichealth #communityengagement #youthleadership #BCYouth #foodsystems #localfood

Canada is arming Israel—and Liberals can’t stop lying about it. New video from @breachmedia.ca breachmedia.ca/canada-is-ar...

Our food system needs a big shake-up. We do need more support for people who are struggling so that they can access healthy, local food. Expanding the Farmer's Market Nutrition program is a fantastic idea. Would love to see some of these publicly-owned grocery stores too!

Should be a great event at Ace Brewing.

Horrifying. Just no words.

Let's dispel the fear mongering with the Cowichan decision khelsilem.substack.com/p/the-truth-... #reconcilliation #foodsecurity #bcpoli

Already seeing it in my community with climate refugees from the interior here due to smoke every summer during fire season. #comoxvalley

How do we stop corporate price gouging in the food industry? LOVE this idea. briarpatchmagazine.com/articles/vie...

The air quality in the Comox Valley suddenly went from fresh to extreme in the span of an hour. We're trying to stay indoors and are cancelling most outside activity. Stay safe everyone. Mask up. #bcpoli #airquality #comoxvalley

Folks in the #SurreyBC area!

"But why formalise this occupation now, after 22 months of systematic slaughter? Because the crime scene must be sanitised before the world sees what remains of Gaza." www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

This gives me hope for Alberta thetyee.ca/Culture/2025... #abpoli #bcpoli

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Ex CBC anchor Ginella Massa takes you through every time a Liberal politician has lied about sending weapons to Israel: #cdnpoli

The BC Greens are hosting a Townhall tonight with the 3 folks running for leader. If you haven't already, membership to the BC Greens is only $10 and FREE for anyone under 30. #bcpoli

It's hard to believe that in 2025, the legislation is still so unclear on when farm workers need to stop working due to heat exposure. @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social - farmers would benefit from clarity here. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025... #foodsecurity #solidarity @nfucanada.bsky.social

Join us for a discussion on how to ensure farmland is still available & accessible to future generations #foodsecurity #bcpoli #ALR

This is NOT “America First.” This means that if a city or state decides to boycott investments in Israel, if its citizens are suffering from a disaster, the federal government will not provide FEMA funds to those cities. Completely unacceptable.

Inspiring. Most of Vancouver Island is in a similar situation where we grow less that 10% of what we consume. #foodsecurity #buylocal #farmlife

Canadians know that economic boycotts work! List of companies who either operate with close ties to the Israeli government. And it's not just Soda Stream & Sabra hummus! Crazy amount of junk food & make-up companies boycott.thewitness.news/browse/1 #BDS #Palestine

Lillooet's ER keeps closing, but hey, let's build more LNG pipelines

Heartbreaking story from the North. We literally are rearranging deck chairs there. The speed of climate impact is astounding. ricochet.media/climate/clim... #climatechaos #cdnpoli

And yet somehow we have $200 million to throw at LNG? Nice play #BCNDP. Your priorities suck. thetyee.ca/News/2025/07...

Posted on FB and it struck a nerve with folks. If peanut butter is a staple & you were about to give it up to stop supporting US companies, here’s another choice! Great for folks on Vancouver Island. Love to hear what other alternative folks have found. #elbowsup #never51
