The BC NDP claim Bill 31 addresses climate change and supports First Nations partnerships. Here’s why they’re wrong: #bcpoli #fasttrackedprojects #cdnpoli

My letter to the Speaker, regarding the increasing use of disrespectful and offensive language and behaviour unbecoming of elected members of the Legislative Assembly. #bcpoli bcgreencaucus.ca/wp-content/u...

When there are threats to progress on reconciliation, we must respond with immediate and proportionate action.

The BC Greens want British Columbians to access this province’s clean energy advantage. But the BC NDP have made it clear that the North Coast Transmission Line is being advanced primarily as a public subsidy for LNG projects, rather than as a long-term investment in BC’s clean energy future.

People in recovery in Victoria who are experiencing homelessness or leaving supportive housing will soon have a safe place to stay, with the Province, the BC Greens, the City and the Victoria Cool Aid Society partnering to deliver recovery-oriented homes downtown. #bpoli

The BC Greens voted against Bill M216, Professional Reliance Act, at 2nd Reading, but the bill still passed to Committee Stage. Because this is a Private Members Bill, the public is welcome to provide input. #bcpoli

Grateful to the grassroots organizers for bringing us all together to protect old growth forests and call out the government's broken promises -- here in Victoria, and across BC at simultaneous rallies. Both BC Green MLAs attended the Victoria rally while juggling duties in the legislature. #bcpoli

Elbows up?🤔 Why Carney’s fast-track announcement is a disaster course for BC — from US foreign ownership to overseas jobs and climate impacts /1 🧵 #bcpoli

The major projects highlighted by the PM raise serious questions: Ksi Lisims LNG does not represent the interests of British Columbians, and the Prime Minister’s message that fossil fuel projects, such as Ksi Lisims, are low carbon and aid the energy transition is flat-out greenwashing. #bcpoli

Having a disability should not mean living in poverty, and we look forward to a broader review of social assistance and disability rates as part of the CARGA agreement this year. #bcpoli

Great piece by @zoeyunker.bsky.social featuring a few quotes from B.C. Green @jervaler.bsky.social Bookmark it for your weekend read! #bcpoli thetyee.ca/News/2025/11...

Part of @jervaler.bsky.social 's reaction to the North Coast Tanker ban announcement yesterday: "How do we say: 'this part of the province is going to be a sacrifice zone,' while we keep the north coast in tact? To me that's a problem of inequity for the people of BC." #bcpoli

Thrilled to be at the First Nations Leaders’ Gathering on the territories of the Xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx ̓wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations. Looking forward to connecting with old friends & new colleagues to discuss solutions to the biggest challenges facing BC.

Committee stage bill debate isn't as thrilling as the World Series, but on the off chance you're as nerdy as us, here's a clip of MLA Valeriote questioning the Energy Minister on Bill 31. #bcpoli #lng #ksilisms www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIAD...

Today MLA @jervaler.bsky.social asked the Premier to support local news, which is essential to a healthy society. Right now, the BC Gov spends the vast majority of its advertising budget with American tech giants like Meta and Google. What if they BuyBC instead? #bcpoli youtu.be/gGpRRHsDWsg

“Our housing system is designed to squeeze renters for all that they’re worth, while lining the pockets of luxury developers and big landlords,” Lowan said. A Statistics Canada study based on data from 2020 found nearly a quarter of residential property owners in B.C. were investors.

"Vacancy control was dropped by the government decades ago, but the topic has been discussed on social media in recent years in response to rising rent rates." More great coverage on our bill to protect renters! #bcpoli dailyhive.com/vancouver/bc...

This legislation is not intended to target homeowners—it’s designed to protect renters and strengthen the overall rental market by preventing unnecessary rate hikes. #bcpoli

The leadership of the snpink’tn Indian Band, the city & local partners shows that communities thrive when compassion guides collaboration. Through CARGA we helped advance these solutions and we'll keep working to ensure every British Columbian has the same access to housing, health care and dignity.

It's been a busy week at the BC Legislature! Let's get caught up. 1. BC Green MLA @jervaler.bsky.social introduced BC Greens Leader @emilylowan.bsky.social to the People's House for the first time. #bcpoli youtu.be/o1SSIV2cUdI

We fully support the part of this Bill that enables Indigenous co-ownership of the North Coast Transmission Line with BC Hydro. However… 🧵

BC Ferries is launching an online waitlist for travellers heading from Horseshoe Bay to Departure Bay and Langdale starting Oct. 15, the same day that mandatory reservations for vehicles on this route begin.

Reminder that big changes are coming to the Horseshoe Bay Ferry terminal, starting tomorrow. More info here: www.bcferries.com/hsb-travel #bcferries #horseshoebay

Ribbit! #political #humor #resist

This legislative agenda is largely non-controversial. There are some important adjustments to legislation on intimate images, sexual violence, and payments for contractors, but overall, the lack of vision leaves a vacuum for other political distractions. #bcpoli

Right now, we need to focus on fairness and affordability—on pocketbook issues and what’s happening at the kitchen table. There are some good pieces of legislation in here, but nothing that addresses the huge range of affordability challenges people are facing in this province. #bcpoli

Day 2 of the Fall session! Up first: BC Green MLA Jeremy Valeriote asks about the health risks of LNG. "Is the Minister unaware of the health risks to British Columbians, or is pressure from industry lobbyists and foreign billionaires just that much more important to this government?" #bcpoli

In the first Question Period of the fall session, MLA Rob Botterell asks the Premier to meet the BCGEU's calls for fair wages. The government has the fiscal capacity to act. What’s missing is the will. #bcpoli youtu.be/GEDj0EjRzXs

At noon, @robbotterell.bsky.social joined the @bcgeu.bsky.social rally on the Legislature Lawn, alongside BC Green Leader @emilylowan.bsky.social #solidarityforever #bcpoli

Next on the order papers, MLA Botterell gives a 🔥speech in support of MLA Aurora's motion to condemn the intolerant views of the Association for Reformed Political Action. youtu.be/kKZbiKdi6Mk

It's the first day of the fall session! #bcpoli First up: MLA Valeriote responds to Bill M214: Firefighters Health Act. This is Private Members Bill builds on the work from a BC Greens PMB from 2024 -- protecting firefighters from the health risks of forever chemicals. youtu.be/zA_WF9m436k

If anyone has additional information on this incident, please contact local Penticton RCMP. We’re so sorry to hear about this attack on an elected official’s home. MLA Boultbee, the rest of the legislature has your back. #bcpoli

This government has sacrificed climate, air and water quality, ecosystem integrity, and Indigenous title and rights considerations to push LNG projects forward. The Premier needs to get real about LNG flaring, and include it in emissions reporting and environmental assessments.

Emily is an extraordinary organizer who has built movements, challenged powerful interests, and inspired people across the province. Her leadership signals a bold new chapter for the BC Greens!

1/ What happened to BC’s Coastal Marine Strategy? BC is one of the only coastal jurisdictions in North America without a comprehensive plan to protect its coast. #bcpoli #ubcm2025 #coastalmarinestrategy

Hopefully a step on the path towards peace.

BC Green MLA @jervaler.bsky.social spent this week touring northwest B.C. talking climate, LNG, mining, housing, drug crisis and much more. Full coverage on our Instagram and Facebook, but here are a few snapshots from the week 🎣 #bcpoli

No matter how the BC government tries to spin it, this LNG export project is 100% owned by US companies, will be built in Korea, and represents a 30-megaton carbon bomb that threatens the health and livelihoods of local residents.

Yesterday, a letter from a leadership contestant’s legal counsel was released to the media, indicating they are considering litigation over the party’s ID verification process. Here's interim Leader Jeremy Valeriote's statement: bcgreens.ca/statement-fr...

The Province already has the roadmap to resolve these issues in partnership with First Nations and environmental groups: ☑️Implement all 14 recommendations of the Old Growth Strategic Review 💰Follow through on conservation financing commitment 🌲 Follow through on old-growth deferrals.

We’re disheartened about the situation unfolding in the Upper Walbran area. Logging irreplaceable old growth is one of many symptoms of an industry in crisis, and blockades are a result of government inaction. #walbran #fairycreek

It has been five years since the release of the Old Growth Strategic Review, and while this should be a moment to celebrate bold action to protect old growth, instead we are marking half a decade of delay, indecision, and government inaction. #bcpoli #oldgrowth

The Premier chose to recklessly push a narrative that blames migrants for food bank usage and youth unemployment, while presiding over an economy made more vulnerable by the government’s decisions. #bcpoli

Individuals who have access to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program should not be blamed for a program rife with fraud and abuse. Companies and corporations who have abused it need to be held accountable, not the migrants accessing it. #bcpoli

British Columbians should not be left to fend for themselves in smoke-filled summers. A #CleanAirAct offers a clear, achievable path forward. The provincial government must take air quality seriously and act now to protect the health of our communities.

We've done the reviews. Now PFAC has the mandate to put them into action -- and that includes aligning with UNDRIP and fully implementing the Old Growth Action Plan.

Fantastic start to the day supporting @bcgeu.bsky.social workers on the picket line in Victoria! When workers earn a living wage, we all benefit. #bcpoli

The Mount Polley expansion approval sets a dangerous precedent. While Bill 15 aims to fast-track infrastructure projects, we must not cut corners on environmental assessments and Indigenous rights.

The BC NDP are trying to sweep their approval of the Mount Polley Mine expansion under the rug. We can’t let that happen. A thread 🧵 #bcpoli www.todayinbc.com/news/bc-gove...
