@erastourticketz Would love to take my sister, who has loved Taylor since she played the Craven music festival in Sask in 2009 - and she’s still never been to her concert! Would be my first Eras show too. Thank you!

This. And in the BC context, @RLittlemore's piece: https://t.co/K4y76Wrd2p "[the NDP will be] trashing the single tax policy that, through its enforced neutrality, has actually put more money back in the hands of low-income voters." #bcpoli #carbontax

The #CoastalMarineStrategy has been a long time coming and it’s really important for coastal ecosystems and community health, by providing the framework for better decision making and management, said Staff Lawyer @_ErinRGray. @Blueprint4Coast #bcpoli https://t.co/1tVGH3d0fO

#MarineProtectedAreas are globally recognized and proven to achieve both conservation and fisheries goals—but misinformation about #MPAs' impact on fisheries persists. Our Q&A clears the air and explains how MPAs complement sustainable fisheries in Canada: https://t.co/Pj1vJa8Y11

Offshore wind promises to provide vast amounts of #CleanEnergy & will play an important role in Canada’s #climate future. But in order for the industry to move ahead responsibly, we'll need strong legal frameworks to protect #marine life. 🪸🐳https://t.co/2w6cSGRb17 #cndpoli

👏👏👏 Great news for #Guardians, #IndigenousConservation and coastal stewardship plans in the #GreatBearSea! 🌊🌊🌊

At #COP28, we need action from @RishiSunak, @POTUS, @GiorgiaMeloni, @jonasgahrstore, @Bundeskanzler, @COP28_UAE. A tax on fossil fuel profits is urgently needed to help the countries least responsible for climate change respond to its effects.

Recent federal court decision on #Plastics highlights why all levels of gov't must share responsibility for regulating #PlasticPollution. Our marine lawyers explain what the decision means here in BC. https://t.co/s9zmVQDA87 #bcpoli

A majority of Albertans & 7 out of 10 Canadians support the #EmissionsCap. At #COP28 #Canada must announce a strong cap on oil & gas sector emissions without loopholes! @JustinTrudeau / @CanadianPM, @JonathanWNV, @cafreeland, & @s_guilbeault #CDNpoli https://t.co/XkLEF8qElU

Take action here & send a message to @JustinTrudeau / @CanadianPM: https://t.co/kXu4MESUd2

At #COP28 / #COP28UAE it's time for the government of #Canada to announce a strong cap on oil & gas sector #emissions. Oil & gas companies must not be allowed to use loopholes. #CDNpoli

Great to see panels like this happening - we must ensure lawyers stay climate competent for the challenges ahead.

Clean energy critics often argue that addressing climate change will require too much mining.

So I looked into the data.

I found that our current fossil fuel economy requires 535x more mining than a 100% clean energy economy would.

[Erin Gray (BlueSky: @erinrgray.bsky.social) @_ErinRGray]
