The issue of "vote splitting" is once more being raised and I have enjoyed the respectful discussions about it. I've offered my take on this below. #bcpoli www.andrewjweaver.ca/2026/09/29/v...
Vote splitting, fear, and the voters we forget - Andrew Weaver: A Climate for Hope
“Don’t split the vote.” It is an argument that can sound practical, even responsible. But too often, beneath it lies a much less inspiring message: vote for us, otherwise you will get them. What disap...

Housing reform starts with bringing people with you - Jordan Weaver
Saanich needs homes that people can afford, and approval processes that allow good projects to proceed promptly. We need to make room for young families, people who rent and older residents who want to downsize within their communities. Meeting those needs will require change, and an open conversation about how our neighbourhoods can welcome more

Wide OTEC deployment could slash global temperatures by up to 2.5C by 2100 by surfacing cold water and displacing fossil power plants, according to modeling by @ajwvictoriabc.bsky.social's group at UVic. Adding OTEC-powered CO2 capture would add further global cooling. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Wildfire smoke does not carry a passport. Canada cannot thin, log, rake or prescribe-burn its way out of a planetary crisis.

I’ve been investigating Paramount’s deal with Trump. Here’s what we know: - Trump sued CBS - CBS called the lawsuit “meritless” - Paramount (owner of CBS) still settled, handing $16 MILLION+ to Trump’s library - Paramount has a billion-dollar deal that needs Trump’s approval
CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

Should the @liberalca.bsky.social and @mark-carney.bsky.social who are talking about “decarbonized oil” be charged under Canada’s new anti-greenwashing law (Bill C-59) that they recently bought in? Decarbonized oil? Do you mean hydrogen? #cdnpoli #bcpoli @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social
