We call on BCI + BC Public Sector Pension Plans to drop their ~$81.54M stake in Tesla. Far worse than Tesla’s litany of labour + safety issues, its CEO and 13% owner is a raging fascist threatening the US, Canada, and others. Pensions will be worthless if brownshirt billionaires kill democracy. 1/x

BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands. It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.

We are in the methane moment. For years, methane was excluded from the conversation on climate change, but it's responsible for 30% of global warming. Not only that, but it's extracted through a destructive process called fracking that poisons our water and air. www.edf.org/climate/meth...

A new report from CAPE is out on how good environmental policies lower our healthcare costs. Climate justice is ultimately about keeping people healthy and safe. Climate justice = social justice. Progressives who care about social justice need to understand this. cape.ca/wp-content/u...

And for those that have cough cough BC to stay committed to it. Right now, the BCNDP look set to approve yet another unwanted fracked gas pipeline that would cross First Nations' land without their consent. Stand with the Gitanyow and stop the PRGT pipeline. www.dogwoodbc.ca/petitions/pr...

The BCNDP's rollback of their climate action plan and Clean BC is unacceptable. LNG is fracked gas and fracked gas is bad for our health, our climate and our environment. It's not natural. It's not safe. And it's driving climate change. These are facts. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/23/n...

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

We were just denied entry into CECOT — the notorious prison in El Salvador where Mr. Abrego Garcia is being illegally held. We were there for one simple reason: to check on his well-being, which his family and lawyers have not been allowed to do. We won’t stop fighting.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

"federal subsidies to the oil and gas sector, the Liberals doled out nearly $30-billion last year, and nearly $80 billion over the past five years. The subsidies paid out by government in 2024 are roughly the same as the profits reported by Canada’s four largest oil and gas companies"
