Dawson Creek, B.C., seeks to extend state of local emergency over record drought - Media fails to connect the dots to fossil fuels and the #climatecrisis. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... climatereadybc.gov.bc.ca/pages/drough... #bcpoli
https://climatereadybc.gov.bc.ca/pages/drought-water-scarcity British Columbia will experience more drought and water scarcity as the climate continues to warm. B.C.’s climate is changing. Hotter temperatures, insufficient snow accumulation, faster spring snowmelt, glacier loss, and reduced precipitation over extended periods of time can cause drought and water scarcity. As the climate continues to warm, drought and resulting water scarcity will become more common. CBC website: Dawson Creek, B.C., seeks to extend state of local emergency over record drought City says they're concerned they won’t be able to draw additional water if the Kiskatinaw River freezes again Tom Summer · CBC News · Posted: Oct 29, 2025 Photo of nearly dry river.

New @davidsuzukifdn.bsky.social report! Fracked gas exports increase costs for electricity and gas in BC, while making #climatecrisis worse. Why would @davidebybc.bsky.social subsidize US corporations to do that to us? #bcpoli #bcndp
Graphic with LNG tanker at dock. New report shows BC's LNG is filled with overhyped promises with a risky and costly future. Not only is the the LNG industry accelerating climate change, it is also increasing cost for electricity and gas in BC.

4/X It seems like the #CBC in St John's still have the budget for a weekend reporter, and they covered the #DrawTheLine action there. Maybe we could Tax The Rich a bit more and get a weekend reporter in #yyj too? (attn @wgreaves.bsky.social) www.msn.com/en-ca/news/c...
