Proud Canadian 🇨🇦🍁. Cloverdale, BC resident since 2001. Fighting for a more equitable and compassionate society. The climate crisis is real. End fossil fuel consumption now if we expect to leave a livable planet to future generations.

Every article about wildfires and wildfire smoke needs to explicitly connect these climate disasters to burning fossil fuels. If we want to breathe clean air and not have our neighbours' homes destroyed by wildfires, we need to stop using public money to subsidize fossil fuel projects. #bcpoli

Iran conflict windfall over three months reignites calls for companies ‘cashing in on human misery’ to pay for environmental damage

Back when I was a young man, CEOs made about 20 times the salary of their employees. Today a typical CEO makes over 280 times more. Here's what we can do about it.

1/ Climate change is not some far-off threat. It is here. It is happening.   And it is caused by the burning of fossil fuels that the Liberal government is pouring billions of public money into expanding.   This is the crisis we cannot afford to ignore.

A pipeline funded by…. you. This is a government pipeline with a mere 10% stake from private investment. And jobs? Last year 10k Albertan oil workers were laid off as production skyrocketed. Call it what it is — a handout for the dying fossil fuel industry.

Alberta pitches new bitumen pipeline route to B.C. coast with TMX, Pembina partners

Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announce a preferred route and interested parties for a new bitumen pipeline to the B.C. coast.

The path Premier Eby offers is lip service to the future, and actual service to extractive corporate interests. While the booming clean energy sector is sidelined by this government, fossil fuel projects get subsidies and expedited permits. #bcpoli bcgreens.ca/eby-trades-h...

You're absolutely right Norm. Carney and Eby seem to have no problem throwing future generations under the bus. Carney recently justified gutting Canada's climate targets because he was concerned about the current generation absorbing a disproportionate amount of the cost 😳.

Carney and Eby disregard the scientific warning that continued fossil-fuel expansion will intensify climate disruption. They are pursuing immediate economic advantage, knowing environmental costs will fall on future governments—and future generations. in-sights.ca/2026/07/01/d...

David Eby left yesterday for China, where he will promote a gigantic expansion of the LNG plant that is now polluting Kitimat and spewing methane into the atmosphere. Eby is in effect saying, “Damn the climate science, full speed ahead!” in-sights.ca/2026/06/28/d...

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

@rutgerbregman.com lays out an intriguing forecast for AI. As he says, it is coming at us very quickly, whether we want it or not. However, I think we under estimates the power and control of big tech and big finance. They have the leverage and they are focused on maximum wealth accumulation. #ai

Twenty years ago, climate denial was a problem of the right. Today, AI denial is a problem of the left, and the consequences could be even more disastrous. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpTZ...
