Vancouver’s climate leadership exists because people across the political spectrum fought for it, putting planet before partisanship. Let’s do that again. 🌿
🌍✨ Vancouver’s Climate Work Is On the Chopping Block
Mayor Ken Sim + ABC councillors plan to cut major climate action programs. For 35 years, Vancouver has been a global leader in local climate action — starting with the 1990 Clouds of Change report. 🌱
📬 Write to council — especially Councillors Dominato and Meiszner, who seem less tied to the mayor’s anti-climate agenda.
🎤 You can also sign up to speak directly to Council until 5 pm today. https://t.co/6rTtvGbPiz
A simple lesson from Canada’s 🇨🇦 history:

It's hard not to feel an incredible sense of relief this morning. We were perilously close to watching our democracy head over the same cliff the US has. At the same time, going through the results, there are alarm bells and sirens going off all over the place. Lots to process.
GREAT NEWS! Due to the postal interruption the Canadian government extends deadline for 2024 charitable donations to February 28, 2025. Announcement will support more than 85,000 charities in the country who rely on donor support to do their important work https://t.co/Pmsjiec9M5

Some very sad news. I got to work with Dan on a few issues and his working class roots, passion for justice and compassion for the people of BC were always front & centre. I was so excited for him in his new role. Devastating. RIP
It is with heavy hearts that we acknowledge the loss of Dan Coulter, a devoted advocate for the people of British Columbia, a passionate voice for inclusivity and justice, and a cherished member of the BC NDP family.
