Long past time to divest!
FYI - Tesla shareholders include BCI + BC Public Sector Pension Plans, to the tune of ~$213.45M (as of March 31, 2025).
Not sure how BCI voted at this AGM, but their ongoing investment - with OUR pension $$ - in this noxious firm = complicity. Other big pension funds have already divested! 👇

We call on BCI + BC Public Sector Pension Plans to drop their ~$81.54M stake in Tesla. Far worse than Tesla’s litany of labour + safety issues, its CEO and 13% owner is a raging fascist threatening the US, Canada, and others. Pensions will be worthless if brownshirt billionaires kill democracy. 1/x

Canada and the rest of the remaining democracies need to do way more - weapons, aid, finance, etc - to help our ally Ukraine fight fascist Russia (our common enemy, which is at war with us too.) Also, there are lots of small things to help 🇺🇦 that everyone can consider doing. Ideas👇
Things You Can Do To Support Ukraine🇺🇦
Idea 1: Read, share and subscribe to Ukraine-based media, like the @kyivindependent.com Co-founded by a group of journalists in late 2021, it’s a great source of reporting + investigations about 🇺🇦, its fight for survival, and related European + global issues.

Seriously, why are ANY Canadians going to the US at this point? It’s visibly descending into fascism, border + ICE are rampaging around terrorizing people, and the ruling regime is openly threatening annexation and hitting us with tariffs. Not safe, not ethical - don’t go!
Hey 🇨🇦 - if in doubt about whether to visit the US right now, ask yourself any of these fun questions!
-Would you have visited Italy in 1925?
-Or Germany in 1938?
-How about the USSR in 1968?
-Cambodia in 1976?
-Or Argentina in 1982?
-Serbia in 1999?
-Russia in 2023?
-What about Israel in 2025?

For sure, in short term, they can find other fossil sources (see info👇from @razomwestand.bsky.social ). But in medium-longer term, expect them to shift to renewables - as other EU countries already are - since they are cheaper + provide energy independence. Dependence on ff = strategic vulnerabilty.
💯 Orban is a corrupt fascist leading Hungary backwards, and a cancer in the heart of Europe. The 🇪🇺 + NATO would be much better with 🇺🇦 in, and 🇭🇺 out. And Hungary’s continued purchase of Russian fossil fuels is all about fealty to Moscow, not economic or technical barriers (same for Slovakia). ⬇️
Ukraine struck a Russian oil station, halting crude flows to Hungary and Slovakia.
Research from @csdbuildbridges.bsky.social and creacleanair.bsky.social clearly shows that both countries could replace Russian oil imports immediately via Croatia and the Adria pipeline.
So why don’t they? ⤵️

100% - Xitter is noxious and poisoning society.
Seems like a good day to re-post this. All public institutions in Canada, including CBC and every level of government, should ditch Xitter immediately - it’s a racist, fascist filth factory run by Nazi-loving Apartheid Clyde.
If we are serious about preserving Canada’s democracy and sovereignty, Canadian institutions need to stop tolerating the intolerant! 👇 Amongst other things, that means blocking X, Rebel and others making $$ from purposefully purveying disinformation and division.
