While Canada is one of only 25 countries to share its plans to protect biodiversity ahead of #COP16Cali starting on October 21 in Colombia, it says little on Target 22 to “ensure the full protection of environmental human rights defenders": https://t.co/9bXPnK1Dff #PBIaccompanies

This morning I was woken by 2 of Durham Regions' finest who were sent out by @TorontoPolice to enquire if I did in fact send a "suspicious substance" to the Premier of Ontario.

They were referring to the 2 packets of gravy that I had sent to the Premier's office. I told them that I had even called to tell them that I was sending them and for them to expect a lot of gravy from angry citizens of this province. I also told them that I had enclosed a letter explaining why I had sent the gravy and I did in fact put my return address on the outside of the envelope.

They asked me why I sent it. I told them because Ford lied to us. We just wanted to send him gravy for his #GravyTrain.

They wanted to know which app I was on where the gravy idea came from. I told them Twitter. They thought that is was Reddit.

They asked for my Twitter name. I complied and gave it.

They then asked me for names. Well, I didn't give them any names. That is one thing that I do not do. I may send gravy mix to the Premier; but, I don't name names. I am not a Rat.

So, if you sent gravy to the Premier's office, don't be surprised if you get a visit.

What got me is that when the gravy arrived at his office, @TorontoPolice were called in. I was told that our little Gravy Train rebellion tied up a lot of important Police Resources and they were not happy. I was thinking that they tied up resources again by sending not one, but two officers to my door.

And who says that being 70 years old is dull?

Did you know that BC allows the spraying of a toxic chemical called #glyphosate on forests that are being logged? It kills natural plants & wildlife & increases risk of wild fires. Come to this event on March 21 at 6:30 p.m at Heritage Hall to learn more!

This is great to see. The Gitanyow Hereditary Chiefs are challenging Ksi Lisims LNG to *prove* their GHG reduction claims (spoiler alert - good luck to the proponents). The Gitanyow are calling on gvt to without approval in the absence of clear evidence.

If more than 70% of a city's homes, schools and hospitals were destroyed in a storm or earthquake it would be one of the worst natural disasters ever.

This was done by humans, on purpose, with the full support of the west. Completely unforgivable.

Some pockets of bull kelp vital for sea life off Vancouver Island + BC’s Gulf Islands are proving to be resilient to rising sea temperatures & marine heat waves, a new UVic study has found.

"69% of the global population expresses a willingness to contribute 1% of their personal income, 86% endorse pro-climate social norms and 89% demand intensified political action"

Most people want stronger climate action and are prepared to pay for it

Ever see misleading ads from the oil and gas industry and think "how is this legal?!". Tired of the greenwashing and propaganda from big polluters?

Well, a new proposed law would address just that! Check it out.

Good morning, happy Tuesday, Palestinians matter and not a single one of us should support the regime that’s has murdered 30,000 of them in a few month.

[Charlotte Dawe @ClimateChar]

The idea that #LandAct changes would give First Nations a "veto" is false & inflammatory.

BC conservative party who are screaming false information & fanning fear based on lies should be held accountable and apologize. Don't believe these lies my friends!

Dropping bombs on children in designated “safe zone” is barbaric, indefensible mass murder, never let anyone try to tell you differently.
