The North Coast tanker ban isn’t just a policy, it’s a promise to protect what we love, honour Indigenous leadership & choose a thriving future over risk.

If Ksi Lisims fracked gas export terminal & PRGT pipeline go bust (as is likely given glut of LNG), Nisga’a Nation could lose billions. Banks get paid first, and risks are high given competition from lower cost solar & wind.

BC LNG project divides Indigenous nations, risks financial and environmental harm
A major BC LNG pipeline and terminal is reigniting deep divisions among Indigenous nations, exposing communities to major financial and environmental risks despite promises of economic benefit.

BC MLAs like to claim that BC is a climate leader, but this chart by @bsaxifrage.bsky.social exposes that lie.

BC's emissions have increased by 26% since 1990, while all other G7 Nations have decreased emissions by up to 50%.

Liar liar our communities are on fire. Summer is coming.
Chart showing greenhouse gas emissions over time from 1990 to 2022, comparing BC versus G7 Nations. BC's emissions have increased by 26% and Canada's emissions have increased by 16% since 1990. In comparison, all other G7 Nations have reduced emissions: USA by 3%, Japan by 11%, Italy by 21%, France by 27%, EU by 31%, Germany by 40%, and the UK by 50%.

One of my first thoughts when I saw John Rustad had removed Dallas Brodie from the BC Conservative caucus was to wonder whether any other BC Conservative MLAs might quit in protest or solidarity

Looks like Peace River North MLA Jordan Kealy is doing just that #bcpoli
A post from BC Conservative Peace River North MLA Jordan Kealy's Facebook page, On Thursday, I witnessed firsthand just how toxic the BC Conservative Party has become. Some of the worst bullies sit in the legislature, and the BC Conservatives are no exception. I stood up for a fellow MLA who was harassed for speaking the truth, only to become a target myself. The party has created an environment where some so-called “Conservatives” would rather throw cheap insults than deal with facts. There were no apologies, no accountability, and I refuse to stand with those who either enable or ignore that kind of behavior. I’m a real conservative, and I don’t believe anyone should be bullied—no matter their background, beliefs, race, sexual orientation, or abilities. Bullies have no place in leadership. We should be fighting *for* each other, not *with* each other. I’ve always fought for the people of Peace River North, and I’m not stopping now. Our region helped build this province, but the BC NDP has run it into the ground. They’ve buried our industries in red tape and made BC a terrible place to invest. I’ll keep holding them accountable and fighting to bring back the prosperity we deserve. But I can’t do that while stuck in a party that’s eating itself alive. The BC Conservatives have turned into "Liberal United Conservative 2.0"—different name, same backroom games. I’m a farmer. I know bullshit when I smell it. People don’t want fake, scripted politicians. They want real, honest leadership. That’s what I stand for, and that’s what I’ll keep fighting for. Kealy's post continued: I’ll be a champion for my community, with or without a party. And honestly, I think I can do that job a whole lot better without the toxic mess the BC Conservatives have become. My loyalty is to the people of Peace River North—not a party that’s lost its way. This is why I have lost faith in John Rustad as a leader and his Azim team. If he cannot stop people from being bullied then I will. This is just the start of a new path and a new party that respects Conservative values!!! For any media inquiries please contact me directly @Jordan.Kealy.MLA@leg.bc.ca or 1-672-974-5479

The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%.

E-bikes support fewer car trips.

“OUR city isn’t [insert name of a much more livable & successful city here].”

Trust me, we know that. It’s abundantly obvious that you’re not that city.

That city made, and continues to make, much better choices with fewer excuses.

The real question is, do you want YOUR city to be better or not?
