Rent is high. Groceries are impossible. But instead of taxing billionaires, the govt is pushing Bill C-12 to deport workers.

Syed Hussan explains how migrant blaming is a strategy to distract us.

Stop Bill C-12. Stop the scapegoating:

Residents of Kitimat, BC say they had expected some smoke & pollution from the new LNG plant, but the intensity and persistence of the noise from flaring have taken them by surprise.

Now some in Squamish have similar concerns.

📣 SAY IT LOUD FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK 📣

"Mikaela Loach, a Jamaican British climate justice activist, says the hurricane was “caused by the climate crisis,” and says fossil fuel companies are to blame." 👏

Time to name unnatural disasters for those responsible: Big Oil & Gas.

Not the kind of analysis that should make BCers proud:

By approving Ksi Lisims, the BC gov has chosen the side of the fossil fuel industry at the exact moment global markets are shifting to renewables.

We all have blind spots, which is why it is important to check them regularly especially while driving an economic engine forward.

LNG terminals burn nearly three times more gas during their first two years of operation than afterward.

This is extremely alarming. Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social won the federal election promising to make us *less* depending on the US. Now we are hearing reports that he is offering up a CLOSER energy and military partnership in exchange for a trade deal... 🧵

New research shows LNG terminals burn nearly 3× more gas in their first two years, releasing toxic air pollution that B.C. isn’t tracking. Doctors say this public-health blind spot puts frontline communities at risk.

And here's a kicker – less than half the oil coming through the TMX pipeline is going to Asia. A majority of the TMX oil is actually going to the U.S. west coast - the very country from which this new proposal claims to liberate us!

US West Coast refiners boost imports of light Canadian crude
Canadian waterborne exports of light crude to the U.S. West Coast have surged since the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion (TMX) began operating in May, data shows, surprising some market participants who thought it would mainly be used to send heavy crude to Asia and California.

So PLEASE, could we just move on! And invest in the infrastructure we actually need to hasten our transition off fossil fuels, leave this deadly industry behind, and create hundreds of thousands of new green jobs that are insulated from Trump and the U.S.

Late last year, PetroChina chose to offload its shipment commitments to TMX, very likely because China is moving on, with its solar capacity exploding.

Hey 🇨🇦! We should move on too!...

BC has a revenue problem, not a spending problem

The solution to BC’s fiscal challenges isn’t spending cuts. Instead, BC needs progressive revenue measures.
