Because of course it is. Not housing. Not the drug crisis. Of course not the climate crisis. Just Fossil Fuel profits

Stoked for Emily’s voice in the legislature!

BC Greens got 11% of the vote and only 2 seats. If we had proportional representation, Greens would have 10 seats in the BC legislature. Our electoral system in BC in must change. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #vanpoli

Remember: polls can be wrong!

A juvenile grizzly bear was spotted dashing across the Zeballos Logging Road on northern Vancouver Island, B.C. at the end of September.  https://cheknews.ca/grizzly-bear-spotted-along-zeballos-mainline-on-north-vancouver-island-1355852/

WATCH: “In the 51 years I’ve worked on pesticides, this is the single most regressive proposal I’ve ever seen.” Elizabeth May warned the government this morning about dangerous pesticide control changes hidden in Bill C-30.

Eighteen-year-old Rhys Walker-Shaw now has the power to cast a deciding vote on issues that impact one of Canada’s busiest tourist destinations. https://cheknews.ca/18-year-old-takes-tofino-council-seat-by-acclamation-1355411/

David Eby is telling Greens to vote NDP to stop a Conservative government. He is intentionally confusing voters. The people of West Van-Sea to Sky have already shown they don’t need to choose between Conservative or NDP: they can re-elect a Green. 1/

You don't have to do this, @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social. It's a choice. They want to defund you. They think you're a propaganda arm of an evil government. You will never win them over by showing them grace when they show absolutely none towards you.

Forestry sector is 2% of BC’s GDP. If you’ve been in the woods lately, you’ll have noticed they’re cutting youthful trees, 60 years old. BC’s once mighty forest industry has been plundered. Workers have been taken out of the equation with feller-bunchers & mechanization. BC Cons, not a good plan:

The area they were fishing was closed for retention of rockfish and lingcod. DFO says there are over 35 species of rockfish along BCs coast, some of them live for over 100 years: they grow and reproduce slowly, with many species in decline and of conservation concern.

Two Oceanside-area municipalities will have new Mayors, with Adam Walker elected to lead the Town of Qualicum Beach, while current City Councillor Mary Beil will move into the Mayor's chair in Parksville. #Parksville #QualicumBeach nanaimonewsnow.com/2026/10/17/p...

Quadra had two referendum ballots today. Hour+ long lineups for most of the day at both voting locations. Highly contentious Bylaw 643, and, a woodchipping & climate resilience service. So curious about voter turnout! Anyone know if this is posted if there’s no candidate election? (acclaimed!)

Okay friends, where are you tracking local govt election news tonight? #bcpoli

Once again BC Conservative candidate Anna Kindy did not show up to the all candidates debate in Campbell River, biggest municipal centre in the North Island riding. No mention on her FB of a terrible flu preventing her presence. I guess her constituents don’t deserve to hear from her? #bcpoli

The BC Greens have unveiled a plan to expand access to renewable energy, with a focus on giving British Columbians more control over how power is generated. 🔗 Read more: https://loom.ly/oJWhJKI #BCpoli #BCElxn26

EVERYONE GET IN HERE!!⚡ Elect enough BC Greens, and in a minority we’ll have the leverage to get things done. With the ultrawealthy paying their fair share, we’ll deliver: Believe in better! #votegreen

Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, whose wife was NDP MLA, endorses BC Green Leader Lowan (BC)

Maybe the NDP needs a fresh mandate so they can get some real stuff done? If so, bring it on.

Its like a campaign palette cleanser. Great job @ptfry.bsky.social and team www.instagram.com/reel/DeZuJ99...

Just in case anyone remembers the unforgettable MTG, have someone hold your beer or wine, take a seat and read on! Enjoy! And yes, you’re welcome!

Alberta separation activists the moment a Russian data centre explodes

Does this mean Eby is enabling AI Data Centers outside of the Water Sustainability Act? Because under the Act, it's first in time, first in right. So how do AI Centers get approved for water if farmers have been waiting for years for theirs?

Nice to see media coverage of something so important to Quadra residents. Thanks @cheknews.ca

BC Timber Sales has extended the public input process on proposed Mount Rose Swanson logging #Spallumcheen

“More than one out of 10 people from Gaza’s prewar population has been killed or wounded by Israeli fire. While nearly every family mourns dead or cares for wounded, most also had to move multiple times. Almost the entire population is homeless, it’s one of the world’s most populated tent cities.” 💔

Vancouver deserves better than this petty Trump style smear campaign. A bunch of AI edited screenshots? Blog posts from 2008? Can’t attack my policies as a councillor? Pathetic.

"So if you put that 30 centimetres of sea level rise on top of a king tide, and then maybe you add a winter storm to that, which causes a storm surge, that's when you really start to get into trouble," "This extra foot or so of sea level rise due to El Niño can pack a punch."

No.

“We are concerned that an endorsement carries expectations… and that hidden, unelected power structures would lead to the slate, if elected, pursuing specific objectives for reasons completely opaque to residents,” Beauchamp said. I similar questions about the Campbell River slate.

“Our government must act and clearly spell out where that line is, for Canadians and Americans alike. Passivity implies a kind of resigned consent, and this is not something we can afford. And if the government fails to act … Canadians must step in.”

Why don't Canadians want to go to the US anymore? It's such a mystery. www.cbc.ca/news/world/f...

🙌🙌 BC farmland for BC farmers.

Indigenous communities along the newly-announced West Coast Oil Pipeline route were given just two months for consultations, and that was still more than the government initially planned. https://cheknews.ca/indigenous-communities-given-just-two-months-to-consult-on-west-coast-pipeline-1350891/

I won’t belabour this because I’ve written about it before, but the part of Carney’s pipeline pivot that I find impossible to justify is the government taking on the demand risk.
