Trump's threat against our nation is making us take a second look at our history. We can address both the troubling parts of the settler past while standing up to the the oligarchs. Kingston is a town where it all comes together. Please read my latest piece charlieangus.substack.com/p/kingston-r...

@mark-carney.bsky.social "Continuing to be a major producer of fossil fuels puts Canada front and centre among climate destroyers .... as we continue to flog fossil fuels, there is no reason for anyone to pay attention to what we say about climate change." www.coastreporter.net/opinion/lett...

An example of ignorance of our Westminster Parliamentary form of democracy by the arrogant US. 🇨🇦💪

Fires drove record loss of world’s forests last year, ‘frightening’ data shows. Burning, worsened by global heating, overtook farming and logging as biggest cause of destruction of tropical forests www.theguardian.com/environment/...

@sethdklein.bsky.social Could this deal between Post media and CAPP be why Canadian media is not reporting on the risks of #climatechange from #fossilfuels that keep #BC and #Canada from leguslating a #justtransition?

If Earth stays at its current levels of warming — below policymakers’ goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius — polar ice sheets may melt, causing seas to rise and displacing millions in coastal communities, a new study finds.

Plus $2 Million for 2025 bi-election for PP to parachute into a "safe" CON seat in Alberta 😡 #NeverPoilievre

Israel still blocking aid for Gaza despite promise to lift siege, says UN. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Apparently they even designed the streets to confuse marching troops if they made landfall.

Kingston is holding the line in the fight against American fascist aggression. We had an incredible turnout to the recent resistance tour stop in Kingston. This town faced down the guns of the last American threat. They are holding the against the attack on our nation's sovereignty.

🔥 Nelson joins the fight! 11 BC municipalities (390,000+ people) now on board to @SueBigOil for climate destruction. (Ken Sim & ABC took Vancouver out, shame!) New research shows Chevron alone has caused as much as $3.6 TRILLION in damages. castlegarsource.com/2025/05/11/o...

"This Royal Visit could solidify the beneficial role of the Crown and of the Commonwealth for Canada as it seeks to assert its sovereignty and broaden its international economic ties in the face of American tariffs." theconversation.com/the-kings-sp...

@mark-carney.bsky.social BRAVO 🇨🇦 www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

PM 🇨🇦 must keep data! "By getting rid of data, the administration is trying to halt the national discussion about how to deal with global warming, “The notion of there being any shared factual reality just seems to be completely out the window," Daniel Swain UCLA www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/c...

@adriandix.bsky.social Please order all BC Fire Departments to stop using toxic PSFAs. The spill of fire suppression foam into Stoney Creek Abbotsford July 2024 killed 1000+ salmon smolts. These chemicals also put workers and the public at risk. insideclimatenews.org/news/1305202...

“How much money is going into the industry and what could be done with that money were it not going into the oilsands?” The Tyee caught up with Don Gillmor, author of “On Oil.” 🛢

The American tyrant is threatening the Boss. Bruce Springsteen represents the best of the American spirit. The tyrant is a sexual predator and convicted crook. "We made a promise, we swore we'd always remember No retreat, baby, no surrender. Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend."

“The oilsands sector has been lying to us for years,” … (They) are taking us for fools." Catherine McKenna myclimatechange.home.blog/2024/12/12/c... Another record year for 🇨🇦 crude... www.statcan.gc.ca/o1/en/plus/7...

Danielle Smith and Pierre Poilievre are claiming that oil and gas production growth has been stymied over the past 10 years by the Liberal Government. This is a flat-out lie given that oil and gas production is at an all-time high + $40 billion for TMX and $??? for CGL www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Hey Danielle Smith ICYMI "S&P estimates that US oil production will dip to 13.3 million barrels per day in 2026, a 130,000-barrel decline from its 2025 forecast." = NO new toxic diluted bitumen pipelines putting BC environment and people at risk needed! www.cnn.com/2025/05/12/b...

I hope that Minister Robertson will stop BC AB SK predatory corporate rental landlords like www.mainst.biz traded on TSX making 10+% profits every year for past 5 years while bullying long-term senior tenants in order to get new ones to pay $700 more / mo. & still employing foreign guest workers 😡

Danielle Smith and cie... are being asked to pack up and go. They are not welcome anymore on Treaty land...No more energy projects on Indigenoud land. #cdnpoli

Sports fans: just say, not this year. Watch on TV, go to home games, but onside as much as possible.

Amazing resilience of WILD Coho salmon who inhabit the West Creek headwater wetland is evident in these Fall 2024 and early May 2025 videos by Dave Beningfield and his daughter Linda. These coho need protection from BC WLRS Minister @randeneneillmlabc.bsky.social youtu.be/A6xie0URhcA?...

Doctors needed and welcome in Canada!

Climate mis and disinformation are creating dangerous feedback loops that threaten democratic decision making. This is an especially relevant piece to read today, as Danielle Smith fans the flames of western separatism. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/05/05/o...

Hear @1alexhemingway.bsky.social tell @godfrey.bsky.social about democratic employee-owned firms. Working people can have more control over their work rather than seeing so much wealth concentrated at the very top in this country, Alex says. Have a read or listen! www.thebind.ca/p/a-conversa...

@mark-carney.bsky.social Transition to wind / solar happening now. Why Trans Mountain will never get enough tolls to pay the $40+ billion expansion construction costs. = no more public $ billions for fossil fuel pipelines! CER data apps.cer-rec.gc.ca/PPS/en/pipel...

50 straight and 91/123 days in 2025 on the California ISO grid with Wind-Water-Solar exceeding demand for part of day WWS exceeded demand 4.24 h/day for all 123 days WWS supplied 53% of all demand '25 Gas down 24% v '24 & 45% v '23 WWS up 9% v '24 & 17% v '23 Batteries up 71% v '24 & 203% v '23

A new study from the U.S. Geological Survey finds that groundwater in Appalachia, the Gulf Coast and California is susceptible to contamination from orphaned oil and gas wells.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Robyn Allan expert evidence on behalf of Tsleil-Waututh Nation to CER toll hearing apps.cer-rec.gc.ca/REGDOCS/File...

@mark-carney.bsky.social No more $ billions from public for pipelines. Here is why: "If so, he said, then tolls can not only cover its costs, but can also help repay a lot of the debt used to build it in the first place." Economist Robyn Allan analysis to CER found only 60% cost repaid by tolls.

The loss of these climate champs is indeed a heartbreaker: @laurelcollins.bsky.social, @morricemike.bsky.social, @taylorbachrach.bsky.social, @blakedesjarlais.bsky.social & @nikiashton.bsky.social are among former MPs who were great parliamentary partners. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/05/01/n...
