@1Credenza @wildernews @TorranceCoste BC government policies have been very hard on BC's forests.

[Gwen Barlee @GwenBarlee]

Tragic that BC still allows logging of 1,000+ year old trees. @TorranceCoste @wildernews #bcpoli https://t.co/luEWwINf1O

@Bayer4CropsUS @BayerBeeCare Sad you are indiscriminately killing pollinators with your deadly neonic pesticides. #savethebees

[Gwen Barlee @GwenBarlee]

@alij_ This has lots of implications and assumptions woven into it - definitely not an "interregnum" government as it should be.

[Gwen Barlee @GwenBarlee]

Yikes! BC civil servants told today they are transitioning to a new BC Liberal government. Bit presumptuous?! #unlawful #bcpoli #bcelxn17

Great article re: how an utter lack of political leadership lead to YVR becoming wildly unaffordable. https://t.co/xKr98uPQ5z #bcpoli

@faisal_moola @maryforbc Aw thanks Faisal - I really appreciate your stream of enviro + social activism tweets. Keeps me up to speed.

[Gwen Barlee @GwenBarlee]

@NLTimeForChange @ricksearle Will do.

Says a lot about how discretionary Canada's Species at Risk Act is and how they approach "commercial" species at risk. Total Fail #cdnpoli https://t.co/467khXKA5p

Insane to pay millions to IPPs to NOT produce power. Sweetheart deals to IPPs to the detriment of BC Hydro + customers. #bcpoli https://t.co/5PqZ4wYZ4M

Reality check re: cost control under @bcliberals - a picture is worth a thousand words. #bcpoli https://t.co/pP2nhRe8T9

[Damien Gillis @DamienGillis]

So much for "cost control" under @bcliberals, @christyclarkbc! That's 187 Billion of YOUR $$! https://t.co/qtDb8AjBLX @Norm_Farrell #bcpoli

The best article I have read - ever - on the firing of BC's drug safety researchers. #bcpoli #somethingstinks https://t.co/lIZy01Yv2W

Report shows BC government scientists can't do their jobs because of cuts - just the way the BC Gov designed it. #bcpoli https://t.co/tNBJl43tgr

[Mike De Souza @mikedesouza]

Cuts hobble government scientists in B.C., report says https://t.co/vkIHwOL4nH #bcpoli

[Gwen Barlee @GwenBarlee]

Wow. Former Socred says we must reject "the politics of big money, special deals for friends and insiders" of the @bcliberals https://t.co/wl8Td3Pscn

[Gwen Barlee @GwenBarlee]

BC gov won't protect caribou critical habitat from logging so today ENGOs asked Feds to step in. @maryforbc #bcpoli https://t.co/gsfDX2WQY1

@thegreenpagesBC BC had 28 full time senior ranger positions in 2001. Last year there were 7 FTE senior rangers + about 87 summer rangers.
