I support CFIA due to being at debrief of 2004 Fraser Valley Avian influenza outbreak that included public health officials from around the world. The experts were and are extremely concerned about it morphing from birds to humans.

If you think the #COVID19 pandemic is done and ever-evolving variants pose no significant threat, consider these two realities, writes contributing editor Andrew Nikiforuk.

We downplay the virus at our peril, warns Yaneer Bar-Yam. And children are more at risk than we thought.

How close is infected ostrich flock... "Nearly 11.5 million birds in B.C. are believed to be affected.... The virus spread through the air, outdoor water sources and other means. Fall is typically the time of year when the risk of avian flu is at its peak." www.hopestandard.com/news/multipl...

Multiple avian flu outbreaks reported across Fraser Valley

At least 10 reported in Abbotsford, Chilliwack this month

@mark-carney.bsky.social Canadian workers did not vote for this! "These cuts in most departments will go to pay for historic expansions in defence as well as an expensive middle- and upper-income tax cut." 😡 www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

The feds will quietly “sunset” programs as part of their cost-cutting in the November 4, 2025 budget. Quiet cuts can still hurt.

@davidebybc.bsky.social These are the extra costs to local governments from Trans Mountain expansion that must be paid through property taxes.

BC Gov was the first to announce that we’d appeal the decision of Cowichan Tribes v. AG Canada et al. We strongly disagree with the court’s treatment of private property, but even as this case continues, we know lasting solutions are found through dialogue & collaboration with First Nations partners

What the Cowichan decision really means, and how we move forward together

Niki Sharma and Spencer Chandra-Herbert: The fact is, you can respect Aboriginal title and protect private property.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Looks like Trans Mountain can well afford to PROTECT salmon habitat in 100s of streams along entire route from AB to Burnaby & pay the $ 292K fine for breaches of either laws and CER Conditions ie SAR for endangered snails near Sumas River and improper pump infrastructure! 😡

@mark-carney.bsky.social Why @davidebybc.bsky.social and BC say 🚫 oil pipelines 😡 In February 2022, it was initially penalized $88,000 for disturbing bird nests but the fine was later revised down to $4,000. So do 🇨🇦 laws and CER Conditions apply to oil pipelines via BC? www.msn.com/en-ca/scienc...

Cheaper batteries are driving surging global battery storage deployment, which is a key tool to enable wind and solar to generate 50% plus of a nations' electricity.

BNEF forecasts 94 GW of global battery storage deployment in 2025 and 227 GW in 2027, more than 3X 2024 total. #energysky

While the rest of us focus on fighting back against Donald Trump, Pierre Poilievre remains obsessed with Justin Trudeau. i think he was triggered by the Katy Perry/Justin on the yacht photo.
Poilievre has no policies or plan, he is using the extremist playbook.

@mark-carney.bsky.social @davidebybc.bsky.social supposedly a Canadian trade advantage is critical minerals so 🚫🇺🇸 and 🇨🇳 from weakening our strengths!!!

The Tyee @thetyee.ca · 17d

Critical minerals have long been touted as the key to the global energy transition because they’re used in everything from EV batteries to solar panels and wind turbines.

They’re also essential to the production of military equipment.

Global instability is creating a rush for critical minerals, which are useful for green energy. And the military.
