Your rights are only as secure as their rights. No matter who you are. No matter who they are.

"People don't usually make decisions this stupid, but never underestimate David Eby." Was Eby's destructive time truly accidental? Perhaps we can look to the UK and Labour, Australia and Labor, or even federally to the Liberals to see how it's going elsewhere. youtu.be/f1UO0T7CfKM

The State exists for one reason, to protect its citizens. Canada is failing spectacularly at its one task.

I come back to this headline from time to time. It still gives me pause. Surveillance is pattern matching, something AI is actually really good at. Throw in some killer robot drones and you've got a dystopian film plot, or worse. Good thing no one's building killer... arstechnica.com/science/2024...

"Canada’s CEOs have been celebrating the legislation—and with reason. The bill’s multifaceted assault on labour rights, environmental standards, and international and treaty obligations to First Nations is perfectly aligned with the long-standing aims of" corps canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...

So they did re-sign the #CEPA, a day after saying countries need to "use their influence to protect civilians, prevent further atrocities and help bring this devastating conflict [in Sudan, which the UAE is funding] to an end". This is zero-values realism. #cdnpoli

"C-39 would “codify and structure” ministerial powers under Section 107 to prevent or end strikes, which “could alter the balance of bargaining power between unions and employers in federally regulated industries, particularly where workers’ ability to withhold their labour is their" main leverage!

Isn’t it odd Min Hodgsonnever speaks of a report commissioned by his own dept, showing a majority of Cdns preferring Canada focus on renewables over fossil fuels, w/ 48% concerned over the impact of fossil fuels on our environment & our well being. www.thewatchdog.ca/canadians-wa...

Bill C-39 is a fundamental attack on our constitutional rights. We will not stay silent as Carney’s Liberal government violates our human rights. Standing in solidarity against Bill C-39 with Indigenous leaders, unions, environmental activists. Winnipeg Centre knows how to fight back.

Now in post-election mode, my mug has been replaced with Commander Keen. A huge thank you to everyone I met at the door and elsewhere over the election period. Your concern for BC and the issues we face was my motivation. We are fortunate to live in a wonderful place with such great neighbours!

It wasn't successful, but it was important. Two New Brunswick Green Party MLAs attempted to pass an Environmental Bill of Rights. An idea very much of our times, and frankly long overdue. Thank you for your efforts @davidcoonmla.ca! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It's amazing how much work is going into NOT building out solar, wind, and batteries at a time when they are by far the cheapest and fastest way to add generation capacity. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

I’m so grateful to have the support of my friend Tzeporah Berman Chair of the Fossil Fuel non-Proliferation Treaty and Internarional Director of StandEarth.

Yesterday David Eby was confused, today he seems to have come to his senses. Elect your local Green candidate. Source: www.reddit.com/r/greenparty...

Let me get this straight: 1. Dave Eby calls a snap election to reduce the power of the BC Greens to call a non-confidence vote. 2. Then he begs Green voters to vote NDP—on top of his many right-wing policies & his destruction of our chance at Pro Rep. Wow. ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar... #bcpoli

I’m tired of this FPTP system and this Groundhog Day election campaign strategy. #ProportionalRepresentation is long overdue in #CndPoli and #BCPoli

frankly embarrassed for Eby calling this election #bcpoli

⚡WAKE UP VANCOUVER, NEW (and first) GREEN MAYOR JUST DROPPED! 💚💚 🌿Congratulations to the Vancouver Greens (and progressive candidates), on a historic campaign! Vancouver voted for affordable homes, renters’ protections, and a city that works for the people who live in it.

This? Fantastically progressive and tangible solutions for mental health accessibility in British Columbia. #bcgreenparty #bcpoli #mentalhealth

Very sorry to hear of the deaths and injuries at CFB Wainwright and thinking of the family of North Vancouver's Aidan Goulding, who was 23. The PPCLI has a family connection. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Seriously? From where I sit, I don't see any light between the BC NDP and the BC Conservatives. The Greens are the only party that is still on the left. @bcgreens.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Advance polls are open for the BC Provincial election. Make your opinion count, get out and vote BC!

Hey North Van, one of my old tech colleagues is running for the BC Greens, and I can vouch Ben is an absolutely stand up guy, who you’d be lucky to have representing you! 💚🌊 #bcpoli

It's about the people you meet along the way. The winds of change are blowing. We deserve better than Eby's managed decline. #VoteGreen

Now that the municipal election signs are coming down the BC Greens signs are going up! Coming soon to a North Shore location near you! Believe in better! #VoteGreen

Hey BC, Ben IS correct, we need a breath of fresh air in our legislature. The stale same ol’ same ol’ vote for parties who once in put the Epstein class and corps ahead of our communities needs a good flush. We deserve better! Please consider voting GREEN @bcgreens.bsky.social

Emily Lowan's BC Greens are a breath of fresh air in BC Provincial politics. British Columbians deserve better. Early voting has opened. Believe in better! #VoteGreen www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkJm...

The shit happening in Toronto right now regarding bike lanes is crazy, police are showing up armed to stop people from sitting in bike lanes so our right wing provincial can remove them for barely intelligible reasons

Municipal elections are today, please get out and vote!

This photo from Toronto... For removing a bike lane... Why are things like this man? I feel like I'm losing my damn mind. (Photo Cred: www.reddit.com/r/toronto/s/...)

I'm absolutely thrilled Grand Chief Stewart Philip has endorsed Emily Lowan's BC Greens. It's a sad testament to how far the NDP have moved to the right under David Eby. #VoteGreen www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Backsliding is kinda downplaying the betrayal. The NDP promised to enact all the recommendations of the Old Growth Strategic Review within 6 months of its release and have enacted zero in the many years since. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
