@sonyasavage The UCP govt opposes a just transition for oil & gas workers? What do you prefer? Chaos and mass unemployment? Insecurity you can exploit? #abpoli
Tate’s arrest doesn’t change the fact countless men + boys are being radicalised by mini-Tate’s like Connor below.
Lured into online communities, young men are taught to ‘reclaim’ an abusive form masculinity harmful to men + women. We need positive male role models to speak out.
#Sooke rd Hwy14 already has pooling near

Snow banks are keeping water in place in the hwy @DriveBC@EmconSouthVI
#COP15: We join the call to urge the @UNBiodiversity Parties to include "Indigenous and traditional territories" as the third pathway beyond protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) in the Target 3 of the Global Biodiversity Framework.

Wenipashtaabe - Sandy Gokee “One of our values is bravery. And people tend to think bravery is not being afraid. On the contrary though, bravery is being afraid, but doing the right thing, even though you’re afraid.”✊🏾

#Lemare & #WesternForestProducts taking industry advantage of Head Chief Dave Mungo Knox being away at #COP15 to fell 1000yo cedar forests on #VancouverIsland in his Kwakwaka'wakw home lands & my god how did we get here.
This is @bcndp 'Old-growth protection'
Kwakwakaʼwakw Chief David Knox was alerted as he was attending biodivesity #COP15 that Lemur logging and WFP had started logging ancient red cedars, over 1000 years old, on the territory.
The greenvail that BC is good on biodiversity protection cannot be further from the truth
I'll tell you who died in White Lotus: me, after having to listen to all those North American hermit thrushes singing in the background of a Sicilian resort. Those birds aren't found anywhere near Europe!
Take a look at the winners of SCBC’s 2022 #LocalLeader awards! We are so grateful to all these wonderful people and organizations who are driving change in their communities.
you can honor your capacity without the disappearing acts. you can build community while navigating through the discomfort. you’re worthy of support. let those safe connections bloom, they’re powerful medicine for the heart.
@bob_fedderly @lanapopham @BCNDPCaucus I suspect @LanaPopham is no longer minister due to lobbyists & short sited gamblers wanting to develop 28,000ac of #ALR for industry. Moe Sihota has already lobbied #RichmondBC staff to remove rules that new greenhouses & barns in Richmond must have earthen floors to #savesoil
These Indigenous youth have more authority to speak on biodiversity than cowardly “leaders” who sell off stolen land to the highest bidding corporations. #COP15
Would listen to Gwen Bridge ALL DAY LONG about 'provincial intransigence'.
#IPCAs can't be shepherded into pre-existing policy mechanisms at convenience of the crown. #BC Gov't must align w/ directives of Nations.
Great job hosting @ClimateChar@OrcaCedarbough#COP15
Gwen Bridge of Saddle Lake Cree Nation talks about how the @bcndp and @JustinTrudeau kept First Nation communities out of the process of creating the upcoming Nature Agreement.
This is not a reflection of UNDRIP and BC must stop asserting dominance over these plans and IPCAs
Can’t have it both ways, settler Canada. Any land defender who is criminalized for defending sovereign lands against state violence is one too many. Doesn’t matter if you’re spending a fraction of the cost of Site C on conservation. The underlying program is still colonial.
During @JustinTrudeau speech Indigenous youth walked out drumming and for that they were blocked and held at the door while security attempted to debadge them. #COP15#COPmontreal
