Save the Peace Valley, a REAL climate solution

Help to stop the Site C Dam. Get involved on the ground in Vancouver or on social media. Stand up with First Nations and the environment! Peace Valley Forever!

@maggiemcgeek @burnabymartin I'm shocked - but not - that we're hearing all these rumours of debt/deficit panic in the NDP govt but no one in media has brought up the cost of #SiteC, whose $20bn (at least) bill comes due in 2025.

We could have had the same amount of power from wind for about $3bn! #bcpoli

[Wilderness Committee @wildernews]

This headline reads like satire.

The Indigenous rights-trampling, ecosystem-ruining #SiteC dam is addicting insult to injury at this point. #bcpoli

Orgs representing 700 000+ health professionals have been calling for a fossil fuel ad ban for 2+ years ❌⛽🤒

Healthcare workers were under fire when they proposed a tobacco ad ban too, but they didn't stop.

This is about public health – we aren't going to back down.

[Torrance Coste @TorranceCoste]

I just can't get over this clip.

Every single time the @bcndp claims to care about the importance of fighting racism and addressing the harms of colonialism we need to call out their silence on these disgusting comments from a high profile minister.

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

It sure is. Flat out. @Dave_Eby: how are Palestinian students and faculty in British Columbia supposed to believe that their rights will ever be acknowledged let alone protected with this minister in charge of post-secondary education?

Holy sh-t! Essential analysis here by @bsaxifrage:
The world's #Methane #emissions are under-reported and overwhelming, satellite monitoring shows. And Canada is an outsized culprit when it comes to this dangerous greenhouse gas. See @NatObserver piece 👇https://t.co/IHFXr1H3qr

!!! NEW SLIDE AT THE #SITEC DAM

Aerial photos taken on the weekend show a large slide on the dam's downstream (right) side.

BC Hydro & BC govt need to be transparent & answer questions. How serious is it? How will this failure be fixed, & what will it cost us? #bcpoli

The Canadian government is about to spend $400 million on more than 200 Hellfire missiles for its new $5 billion fleet of armed Reaper drones that will support US foreign policy and national security objectives: https://t.co/2zY3kax3YA #NoArmedDrones

BCHydro said it will begin to fill the #SiteC reservoir as early as this month. UN says it is “scientifically indefensible” to claim it won't [dry] the delta given existing dams have drastically altered the timing of water delivery to the delta. https://t.co/9HiN1xfsyt #bcpoli

For those who missed this major story (which I worked on, & which sadly got buried under the also critical story of Wet'suwet'en blockading rail against Coastal Gaslink): fracking cracked BC's Peace Canyon dam, & BC Hydro covered it up:

[Julia Levin @lev_jf]

Fracked gas in BC has already received billions in federal and provincial subsidies -- fueling the climate crisis with public dollars

Now BC wants the feds to pony up another $3 billion

But that would violate Canada's new rules to end fossil fuel subsidies

[Torrance Coste @TorranceCoste]

I don't know who needs to hear this*, but letting an infamously shady mining corporation build a tailings dam twice as tall as the Statue of Liberty here is a horrible idea.

*I actually do know who needs to hear it, it's the BC government, write to them:

@talltegan @ForestEyeAlerts Thank you! Hydro cut down old growth on islands in the Peace River that used to be calving grounds for moose & other wildlife. These islands are known as Jewels of the Peace and are precious to Dane Zaa people. They’ve been wrecked for #SiteC. We’ll try to send coordinates soon

We can no longer see our own Instagram feed. At a time when climate reporting is more important than ever, threats by social media giants won’t stop us from reaching our readers. Here’s how you can stay in touch: https://t.co/UEP1kVKrad

Wet’suwet’en leaders recently highlighted their experiences of RCMP C-IRG violence in a virtual presentation to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. Key excerpts of their presentation can be read at https://t.co/nWhX8idaVM #AbolishCIRG #RCMPofftheYintah

[Save the Peace Valley, a REAL climate solution @FightSiteC]

@talltegan @ForestEyeAlerts Is there a way to make visible the massive clearcuts that occurred for the #SiteC dam? These seem to be missing from your alerts for the Peace region, and they are a huge gap that needs to be factored in as to why the biodiversity in this region is plummeting.

Wet’suwet’en land defenders are heading to the colonial courts for multiple trials starting this summer for civil and criminal cases — please support through the link and see for more info! Misiyh!
