Our Chiliwack contingent (@Blasterella & Co.) met with MLA Dan Coulter today! It was a treat to have a face-to-face meeting again and all felt that it was a productive conversation! Thank you for your time MLA @dacoulter

Thank you Minister @BruceRalston for meeting with the BC Climate Alliance today. We look forward to staying in touch!

BC Climate Alliance met with Minister @GeorgeHeyman and key staff today re: aligning climate policies. We applaud the govt for the ambition in CleanBC’s RoadMap, and look forward to policies being implemented that can “bend the curve” so our emissions decline as required.

Some of our members met with Parliamentary Secretary for the Environment and MLA for Richmond-Steveston, Kelly Greene. Thanks @KellyRichmondBC for taking the time to meet with us last Friday!

This is where it gets real for Canadian politicians. No more patting yourself on the back for modest climate actions while seeking to boost fossil fuel production and exports. Time for a managed wind down.

We talk a lot about ramping up #climateambition and rapidly accelerating growth of #renewables and energy conservation measures. Today a new @IEA report confirms that we must immediately begin decreasing #fossilfuel use now https://t.co/FQlmepdctB

#BillC12, the Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act passed 2nd reading in the House of Commons. Now there’s an opportunity to strengthen it to make sure that Canada never misses another #climate target.

@lauralynchcbc @cbcwhatonearth Great show yesterday. One point I would like to make is that with carbon pricing BOTH eyes are OPEN. A predictably rising carbon price address both supply & demand. If investors know on a timeline when fossil fuels are too expensive they won't fund it b/c the demand will be low.

Yesterday, new mapping revealed that the BC provincial government has approved 43% more old-growth logging during the period since it received the Old-growth Panel recommendations that it promised to implement last fall:

An overwhelming portion of the fossil fuel sector's GHG emissions come from natural gas.

Thank you Minister @KatrineConroy for our recent meeting. We appreciated the conversation about fossil fuel subsidies and carbon emissions from forest management.

Our climate can’t wait for @JustinTrudeau to govern like it’s an emergency, our best chance for real climate action is a Green-NDP Climate Emergency Alliance. @theJagmeetSingh @AnnamiePaul we need a #ClimateAlliance! #Lib2021 #NDPConvention2021 https://t.co/zb82tRCMbJ

On April 9th, @350Canada is hosting a massive campaign kick-off event. The plan is under wraps for now, but have said it'll shake up politics as we know it to give us a fighting chance to tackle the climate crisis. Don't miss it https://t.co/SgDCGbol7u

[Torrance Coste @TorranceCoste]

This practice is called slash burning, and it's how a lot of logging waste in BC is dealt with.

Despite causing a big chunk of our carbon pollution, like other industrial emissions it's exempt from the carbon tax.

More than two-thirds of Canadians voted for strong climate action but politicians are holding up progress. It’s time to make Canada’s new climate legislation #BillC12 a law! @JustinTrudeau @pablorodriguez
