I’m deeply grateful to have the support of David Suzuki. For decades, he’s been a clarion voice on climate, calling on Canada to listen to science, nature, and Indigenous teachings. His fire only burns brighter with time. The hour is late: we need to get to work.

Who in #bcpoli is still posting on the AI child porn site?
Our politicians were able to get off TikTok -- so why not from Twitter?

The platform is letting its users create non-consensual sexual deepfakes of women and kids. That can't be the price of public participation in our digital down square.

Our government MUST act.

For @thetyee.ca, here’s how:

Glad to see Will leading the charge here.

Would love to see the government do this en-masse, because as I argue for in my latest column, this would be the most effective way for all of us to be able to leave for good:

Bowker Creek is running a bit high at Haultain. Would be a great spot for a new / restored wetland to store water during extreme rainfall events (which are becoming more common due to fossil fuels like fracked gas). #yyj

Video of federal agents getting run out of Lyn Lake this afternoon. Agents drop a gas can at the end and someone kicks it back at them.

There’s reports that there will be 1,000 more agents coming to our city. We need that same surge in residents out patrolling our streets. Even if you can’t patrol, come work from a coffee shop on one of cultural corridors so you can be there to show up for our neighbors.

Kristi Noem’s podium at DHS is just a straight up Nazi slogan

"One of ours, all of yours" was a Nazi policy made when an SS officer was killed in a Czech Village and then the Nazis killed every single resident of that village in response…..but don’t you dare call them Nazis….not even hiding it

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Here's a story from Canada's National Observer about our press freedom case against the RCMP, which is underway right now in B.C.'s Supreme Court. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/12/a...
A historic fight for press freedom begins
Four years after a dramatic arrest, Amber Bracken and The Narwhal are turning the tables and suing the RCMP. The trial starts today.

I have some community coffee-chats coming up: January 14, 15, and 27. ☕

Feel free to drop by and share what you’d like City Council and the CRD to do in the coming months and years. I'll be there to listen and learn. :⁠-⁠)

That would be bad enough. But I think both Carney and Eby understand that any new LNG projects will lose buckets of money. (Someone always makes money, even if the project is a financial disaster.)

Carney and Eby are trying to sell us a dead parrot. The LNG 🦜 isn't going to stay nailed to the perch for long. #bcpoli

Doing the wrong thing and losing money doing it. Great.

Trump, Carney and Eby all seem to think that means we should double down on fossil fuels and abandon our climate targets.
