Proud Canadian 🇨🇦🍁. Cloverdale, BC resident since 2001. Fighting for a more equitable and compassionate society. The climate crisis is real. End fossil fuel consumption now if we expect to leave a livable planet to future generations.

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

🧵Yesterday, British Columbia elected a Conservative majority government that ran on a platform of tax cuts and accelerating the pillaging of nature, or what the party calls “natural resources exploitation.” They also ran on attacking Indigenous sovereignty and trans rights.

Emily Lowan will be a strong voice for the people of BC and she won't be pushed around by Conservative swagger. BC politics is about to go next level 🚀😀. #bcgreens #bcpoli

This is AWESOME news! 💚 BC Green Party leader Emily Lowan has won her riding! Emily will be an incredible voice for the people of British Columbia, and I'm excited to see her bring her passion, compassion, and determination to the Legislature. BC needs more voices like hers! 💚👏

Why is this solution so difficult to understand 🤷🏻‍♂️. Bonus, in countries where they do provide adequate housing they save $100s million because the load on 1st responders, healthcare, justice etc is greatly reduced. #homelessness #housingfirst

You can’t police, jail, or shelter your way out of a housing crisis. At some point, you have to actually HOUSE PEOPLE. Right? RIGHT?!

Emily is right. The Conservative platform is complete fantasy. So is the NDP's. Neither one will balance revenue with expenditures to provide the services we need. The BC Green platform introduces a wealth tax on households with wealth exceeding $50 million. #votebcgreen #wealthtax #bcpoli

Emily Lowan (she/her)@emilylowan.bsky.social

The Conservatives want you to believe they can cut your taxes, add no new taxes AND balance the budget, all without touching your health care. The BC Greens have a costed plan that makes life affordable and asks the ultrawealthy to pay their fair share. Vote Green on Saturday, Oct. 24.

This is a long overdue tax measure that will help support the social programs we rely on in BC. It will also help to reverse wealth inequality. And don't worry about the ultra-wealthy 😢, their standard of living will not be impacted. #votebcgreen #wealthtax #bcpoli

I would add to this announcement the heightened risk involved in building out fossil fuel production.Countries around the world have been rocked by volatile fuel prices and are now pivoting to domestically produced renewable energy.The perceived demand is likely not going to be there. #climatechange

In addition, climate change destruction will eventually reach a point where countries simply can no longer ignore it. Real action, involving a rapid transition off of fossil fuels will occur. #bcgreens

What does this mean for BC? It means BC will be stuck cleaning up the mess. Fossil fuel companies will abandon their non-profitable operations and BC is left holding the bag. This will cost billions.

This is a tax plan that will transform BC. The ultra-wealthy (households with wealth exceeding $50 million) have many ways to dodge paying their fair share of tax. #bcgreens believe this practice needs to end and the #fairsharetaxact will deliver results. #bcpoli #wealthtax

There's only one tax plan that taxes wealth, not work. Be bold, join the BC Greens and let's build the province we deserve. #bcgreens #wealthtax #fairsharetaxact

The revenue generated from this plan will ensure the social programs BC relies on continue to be supported and expanded where necessary. Vote BC Green to ensure The Fair Share Act becomes reality. #bcpoli #bcgreens #wealthtax

Not to mention that despite the name, LNG Canada is 100% foreign owned so profits will largely leave the country while Canadians will be left holding the bag if the Institute for Energy Economics & Financial Analysis is right and long-term demand for LNG in Asia fails to materialize. #cdnpoli
