I would feel safer about Canada’s natural future if we had First Nations deeply involved with all resource management.

The BC NDP government talks a lot about rebuilding the forest sector, but they don't talk at all about addressing the simple reality that this industry has cut too much, too fast, for too long, in too many places, and that this still continues.

The Canadian delegation to COP30 included organizations that advocate for LNG because it's "low carbon", a term also used by PM Mark Carney but which experts argue is "nonsense" because "there is no such thing"

I have tried to point out to people advertising of most sorts should probably be banned for years, and they are weirdly defensive of it.

Even when you point out that advertising has a huge negative impact on everyone's mental health, people are just crazy indoctrinated.

VicPD's 2026 budget proposal is outrageous and harmful. I've reposted my email to #yyj council here. I encourage anyone opposed to uncontrolled police spending to write to Victoria (councillors@victoria.ca) or Esquimalt (council@esquimalt.ca) to tell them. www.needsmorespikes.com/blog/2025/11...

Re-upping this 🧵 from when Ksi Lisims LNG was given enviro approval.

NOTE: Downstream emissions from Ksi Lisims will be roughly equivalent to 5% of Canada's TOTAL domestic GHG emissions. This is a carbon bomb - a willful act of arson.

Mark Carney simply does not get the climate emergency... 👇
This Ksi Lisims LNG approval is terrible news.

"It's hard to believe that we're moving ahead in B.C. with climate-destroying LNG projects in the midst of a climate crisis," said Tara Marsden, sustainability director for the Gitanyow hereditary chiefs.

Yup.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

CBC once again called the Ksi Lisims LNG project “Indigenous-led” on the National last night, despite the fact that it’s 100% American-owned by a Texas shell company, Western LNG.

Yikes!!!!!
