After record-breaking summer temperatures, many communities in BC are now seeing record-level rainfall and flooding. The climate crisis will make these events more frequent. We need urgent action on climate risk preparedness & resiliency. #bcpoli #BCStorm

Thought I missed my chance last year to tweet

But hey look, here we are!

@BowinnMa Thank you! This the response I wish I would have gotten from emailing @jjhorgan office

[Bowinn Ma @BowinnMa]

To be clear: Yes, I support the protection of old growth, with urgency.

I am immensely grateful to all the #NorthVan community members who have taken the time to reach out and let me know that you support making this work a priority.

Gotta admit it’s really something to see Wall Streeters with a long history of treating our economy as a casino complain about a message board of posters also treating the market as a casino

Lia and Braeden deserved to go to Hawaii more than anyone. They stayed home to protect themselves and chose not take the risk. She joined @shoffmanAB and @JanisIrwin today to share her story. #ableg https://t.co/KE1qXN13In

So we canceled our @MakeAWishCA @MakeAWishIntl trip 😢 that we were planning to Hawaii with my PALLIATIVE son and yet @jkenney says he will do NOTHING about his Staffers going places?? Pretty sure that means you owe my kid a trip to the ocean Kenney! 🤬

First time voting in BC. Being from AB, I do not take it for granted that I live in Cowichan Valley & do not have to “vote strategically”. Not only does @greenpartybc stand a chance here, but w/ leader @soniafurstenau they are our best chance at a more just and sustainable future

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Can we please stop calling it “the issue of race” when what we’re really discussing is “the issue of racism”

I do not take it lightly or for granted that I get to work with indigenous adult learners pursuing an education. As part of a post-secondary institution, I feel the responsibility of always being mindful of the complex role educat…https://t.co/IsrGMkmaWp https://t.co/7uiZrcs4DC

Montreal’s Macdonald statue has fallen. I know settlers are going to loose their minds, but as an historian I have to remind folks that JAM, in addition to using starvation politics to pursue western colonization, was the architect of Canada’s genocidal residential school system.

Chantal Chagnon—"I am a proud Nêhiyawak Anishinaabe woman"—described police degrading her with a racial slur after a car accident. "The officer said, 'Oh, so you're Native?' I'm like, 'Yeah.' And then they said, 'Well, you don' t need help'...I am not safe in my own skin." #yyccc

@gccarra I heard you say "go ahead your highness" after they told you they weren't a woman but please let me know if I'm wrong, I couldn't rewind the livestream.

[Amanda A @AmandaThirteen]

I think @gccarra needs to apologize for mocking a speaker at the #yyycc anti-racism hearing as "your highness" after the speaker just asked that council not assume genders and share that they don't identify as a woman (sorry I don't know that speaker's name/pronouns plz lmk)

[Amanda A @AmandaThirteen]

@gccarra Thank-you for clarifying that, it's hard to catch everything. I can't speak for that person but after that it made me uncomfortable as a viewer the way you spoke to that person making it difficult them to share when they were being brave.

[Jeremy Klaszus @klaszus]

Shauna Porter just delivered a blistering critique of #yyccc's anti-racism public hearing. Too comfortable, too traditional, too normal. People being made to wait hours to speak. What is that? she asks. "What you have done today is performative."
