Check out the climate institute's report - close to home. Wildfire and flooding risk could increase significantly. Wildfire impacts could be highest in Alberta and BC (Fig. 10 below) climateinstitute.ca/reports/clos... We need cooperation from all levels of government to address this challenge.

My op-ed: The abandonment of the carbon tax on consumers is not the end of the world. We have more direct ways to decrease Canada's emissions which would also help with affordability. We just need parties to commit to them. Here's a list. #CdnPoli #CanPoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/06/o...

Construction of the pipeline to supply the Woodfiber LNG terminal with fracked gas is the latest to run into problems. Maybe it's time we stop building these things and start getting serious about renewable energy.

Who does Premier Eby work for? You and me or the big pipeline and fracked gas companies?

This fracking pipeline is the first big #climate test for David Eby's reelected government. Will he send this pipeline to a modern environmental assessment or allow big oil's lobbiest to set the agenda for his government? #BCpoli
