In 1971 I organized BC's 1st major environmental protest, 4,000 people at the Peace Arch protesting against supertankers coming down the BC coast. I was MC & sang about it. No new pipeline in the north is good. A new pipeline in the south isn't. Climate change is here. It's time to mobilize again.

I just signed this petition with Stand.earth: It is bad enough that the production and burning of LNG produces GHG's like coal without smoke. Shipping LNG endangers nearby communities. Where I live, Steveston, would be affected. Sign the petition: Stop Tilbury LNG at act.stand.earth/page/78758/p...

“Let me remind you what fascism is. I need not wear a brown or green shirt. Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing people may use political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy to retain its power of exploitation & special privilege.” ~ Tommy Douglas

Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege.”

Seeds for Sale. We have seeds for sale at our farm gate, 2871 Steveston Highway, by the west dyke. We sell organic vegetable seed varieties that we have grown on our farm for 100 years. They are very well adapted to our climate.

Because of Trump's war global gas prices are rising including Canada which has a surplus of fossil fuels. American billionaires & corporations that own Canada's oil & gas companies are making billions from the high prices. Canada should cap prices, tax the excess profit & subsidize public transit.

BC has some of the finest arable land in #Canada And w/ climate change northern BC having a longer growing season. We need t/b cautious allowing crypto farming and ai data farms cuz they use insane amounts of water & electricity better used for agriculture. #bcpoli #cdnpoli #ALR @bcndp.bsky.social

Canada is a major importer of fruit, vegetables & fish. As more oil & gas is exported expect equal increases in the cost of food as the planet warms. BC could be self sufficient but our governments are allowing development on #ALR Land protected by the Barrett #NDP. #keepitintheground & #savetheALR

Time to return to our roots.The Barrett NDP built more Co-op housing than any time in BC history; bought failing companies, Columbia Cellulose & Kootenay Forest products & ran at a profit; BC Ambulance service instead of private ambulances; neighbourhood pubs instead of hotel monopoly; to name a few

We could live in a country where we reduce our energy bills, clean our air and water, revitalize our communities, take back our energy sovereignty, and create thousands of good-paying union jobs in the process. The secret? Public ownership.

Federally the Green Party has collapsed and the NDP has become liberal. Here's why I support Avi Lewis for NDP leader. To Green supporters and NDP supporters and those who have abandoned the NDP, please join to support Avi Lewis and the best of both parties.

My position is clear: I am unequivocally opposed to any new fossil fuel development — including LNG. We must have the courage to say this to every government, of any stripe: if you’re building new pipelines or fossil infrastructure, this shall not pass. #cdnpoli
