@mark-carney.bsky.social PM, How can you justify using public money to fund a pipeline that will only benefit your oil and gas friends and not the majority? This will do nothing for average Canadians more than increasing the climate crisis and its effects aka. The wildfires, storms and heatwaves.

Stop funding fossil fuels. Invest in clean energy and job training. @mark-carney.bsky.social PM Carney it is your responsibility to protect Canadians. We are in DANGER. Help us.
Dear PM It's 2026. BC is burning and I'm locked in my home because of smoke pollution. Canada is burning. Climate change is real as you noted in your book Value(s). You have children. Think of their future. Fund renewable energy projects. Later is too Late! 350.org/canada/pipel...
This is from Alberta, but it is the same OR WORSE in BC. Canada's headwater forests are more than just trees. They're the natural infrastructure that captures, filters, and stores the water that millions of Candians depend on. Alberta is mobilizing. We must also.
Premier Eby: the message is undeniable. While BC burns, your government is being asked to lead. Our open letter signed by former BC NDP MLAs, MPs, Indigenous leaders, and experts demands a recommitment to climate action. Read our press release & the open letter bcclimateemergency.ca/press-releas...

Oil Workers Are Drilling for Geothermal Now Alberta oil workers are shifting to geothermal energy. Same drilling skills, cleaner energy, jobs closer to home. No LNG subsidies needed. Source: The Energy Mix, "Oil Worker's Shift to Geothermal Reflects 'Endless' Opportunity in Clean Careers"
This is a terrible injustice. BCHydro should absolutely be subsidizing solar producers and every tax payer would benefit AS OPPOSED to the government subsidizing Big Oil!

Our elected leaders have the responsibility to care for our health, welfare, and economy. Oil and Gas are NOT the way to do that. Renewable energy and an east-west clean energy grid will create 100000s of jobs. Stop Polluting Our World.
