The Wet'suwet'en Chiefs asked to meet with Mr. Horgan.

But he ALSO refused.

Convenient of you to redirect attention to Trudeau, when NDP Premier John Horgan bears just as much responsibility. @theJagmeetSingh, instead of virtue signalling, why don't you clean up your own house?

Since 2018 over 300 artists have lost their studio space.
Land pressure, taxes, maintenance, any number of unexpected expenses can tip precarious status.

I'm hoping my motion will help w/ a new tool to support beleaguered cultural spaces like these 1/2

Is this what #UNDRIP in BC looks like?

The RCMP is authorized to clear the Wet’suwet’en blockade set up to stop pipeline construction they didn’t consent to.

Elizabeth May's petition demands the immediate removal of RCMP. Stand with the Wet'suwet'en. Add your name 👇https://t.co/Z1m7yMsC9X

My motion to fully divest #Vancouver from fossil fuels passed unanimously! Includes a plan w/ timelines, helping MFA create a fossil fuel-free fund, asking Municipal Pension Fund to redeploy $ to renewables, the Mayor signing C40 Green New Deal. #fb #vanpoli #ClimateEmergency

"You cannot say you respect UNDRIP and then send in the RCMP to remove Hereditary Chiefs from their own land when they have not provided consent," says @ElizabethMay on the Coastal GasLink project.

The world is watching. More here 👇

News of 176 lives lost in last night's Iran plane crash included 63 Canadians. Given a significant diaspora population here in Metro Vancouver, spare some sympathy and kindness for the local Canadian-Iranian 🇨🇦🇮🇷 community here during this already difficult time.

[Green Party of Canada @CanadianGreens]

Unceded Indigenous land is under attack! Coastal Gaslink corporation is building a fracked gas pipeline through Wet'suwet'en terrirory.

Yesterday, 5 hereditary chiefs issued a notice of eviction and asked for international support. Spread the word. https://t.co/EuL8g6Tvfb

What’s happening in Australia today is a glimpse into what’s at stake for us all if our world leaders don’t take action.

We need to enact climate solutions now. We need to ensure billions more aren’t displaced. #AustraliaBurning

[Harrison Johnston @Harrisonrj_]

Any politician who gives billions in subsidies to massive fossil fuel corporations and doesn't prioritize a just transition for workers from the dying industry into renewable energy doesn't give a shit about any "jobs" other than their own

Van city council unan passes 1st 2 MIRHPP (Moderate Income Rental Housing Pilot Program) projects. I moved the first. I modified this pilot last term so affordability = 30% of income. Plus there’s vacancy control for 1st time in #vancouver #fb #vanpoli #housing #vanre

[Elizabeth May @ElizabethMay]

Great news. LNG from fracked gas is a #climate killer. #GPC https://t.co/smKGg6jDa8

[Green Party of Canada @CanadianGreens]

Yesterday, @ElizabethMay stood with the Indigenous organizers and activists demanding an end to the Teck Frontier Mine, the largest proposed oil sands mine in Canada.

We need to respect Indigenous rights and end this climate-killing project.

Today, the Liberals will share their priorities for the 43rd Parliament.

Here’s what Greens expect 👇
- full implementation of UNDRIP
- climate targets based on science
- Universal Pharmacare in 2020

These are the issues that matter most. Let's get to work.
