Have you cancelled your Spotify account yet? If the ICE recruitment ads aren’t enough to convince you, just a reminder that they pay their artists like shit and their CEO invests millions in AI drone weaponry. @qobuz.bsky.social is a great alternative.
Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.
We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

The ABC members of Vancouver Council really said "f*** them kids" today. First, they killed a motion to make it safer for kids to trick or treat in their neighbourhoods on Halloween - the most dangerous night of the year for child pedestrians - by making it easier to close streets to car traffic.

After years as a daily Spotify user, I finally switched to Qobuz. Between low artist pay, fake/AI “artists,” platforming hate speech, running recruitment ads for ICE, & the CEO’s AI weapons investments, I couldn’t justify staying any longer. Qobuz is great so far; consider making the switch!

At this family friendly event, a lady in an SUV tried to drive through the crowd because her daughter had to get to a soccer game and refused to do a u-turn. This is exactly what we mean when say drivers are entitled in this city. Unreal.
Large turnout today in support of traffic calming on 16th. People shouldn't fear for their safety in their own neighbourhood. Now it's time for the city to act.

With everything else going on, the Tylenol “announcement” may seem minor. But it’s not. The Trump admin’s lies about acetaminophen are part of the same agenda: controlling women’s bodies, demonizing them, and making them suffer needlessly. A policy of intentional cruelty and othering.

New data shows governments now planning more fossil fuel production in coming decades than they were in 2023
Governments around the world are ramping up coal, gas and oil extraction which will put climate goals beyond reach, new data has shown.
Far from reducing reliance on fossil fuels, nations are planning higher levels of fossil fuel production for the coming decades than they did in 2023, the last time comparable data was compiled. Continue reading...

Under the UNFCC Canada is not responsible for the downstream combustion emissions of the fossil fuels we export. So we conveniently ignore them (as in Ksi Lisims Assessment and BC and fed announcements today), though those GHGs are more than Canada's territorial emissions to the global atmosphere.

BC Environment Minister Tamara Davidson and Energy Minister Adrian Dix have given the green light for the Ksi Lisims LNG Facility
Once operational, the plant will be the second largest LNG production facility in BC and may use natural gas to power the liquefaction process #bcpoli

Carney is privileging those supporting fossil fuels, while violating the standard of FPIC for those who do not. Nations who oppose LNG will be subjected to costly legal battles and militarized police violence, while Canada invests in a dwindling LNG market and risks being stranded in a global glut.

One way to help keep that number from going up would be to stop expanding the LNG industry. LNG is a fossil fuel with warming potential equal to or greater than coal. And the BC NDP are all-in on its expansion.
