This is a very informative webinar in terms of this specific case and climate litigation in general here in Canada.

“This government has weaponized the duty to consult by delaying justice for First Nations families and communities. Good-faith consultations means listening to First Nations and acting on their input, not trapping them on a treadmill of never-ending consultation processes to delay justice.”

It doesn’t matter where you start. It is important that no one faces this alone. The atmosphere is one of struggle. Let’s raise our spirits and work together for the future we long for. share.nwmd.social/s/Di12fTFs

Nothing will make you more averse to voting BC NDP than getting arrested by the militarized shock troops of the RCMP, tacitly authorized by the BC NDP govt, when you’re peacefully defending the last of our old growth forests at Fairy Creek

Now is not the time to hold your nose and vote for the same government that put us in this mess. Vote for better. Believe in better! #votegreen @bcgreens.bsky.social #bcpoli

Our thoughts tonight are with the Canadian Forces members at CFB Wainwright, their families, and everyone else affected by this terrible incident. Thank you to the first responders who are on the scene working hard to save lives and provide support at this tragic time.

I’m hearing from friends in Alberta that today is actually hitting folks pretty hard. Not the vote to remain, which was a relief, but the other 9 questions.

“‘They seem to have no problem fast-tracking a violation of human rights,’ Gazan said, "and they say that they want to consult, but we know that there is broad support among First Nations across this country."

“NDP MP Leah Gazan said the Liberal government is ‘using consultation as a weapon’ and consulting selectively for political reasons, noting the Carney government is sitting on S-2 while expediting its bill to streamline major project approvals with minimal or no consultation.”

Through the Liberals’ repeated use of Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code, they are violating the Charter-protected right to strike and attacking workers’ ability to fight for a liveable wage.

The Prime Minister called Bill C-39 the most consequential legislation in decades. This is true. It tramples on environmental protections and Indigenous and workers’ rights, while handing ministers king powers to override constitutional safeguards in the name of the “national interest.” (🧵 1/2)

For years, the EU Parliament has made its stance clear: Europe must phase out fossil fuels and support a Fossil Fuel Treaty.

First-past-the-post forces Alberta’s entire right wing into a single party just to win elections. Under proportional representation, Pro-Canada Conservatives wouldn't be stuck sharing a party with separatists, giving Albertans a real choice in who represents them. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

A Blue Wave Won’t Wash Away Our Oligarchy Problem. The massive election spending by Elon Musk and other billionaires is a huge problem, even if many of the superwealthy’s favorites lose next month. portside.org/2026-10-21/b...

"I said it last night, Eby is shook by a Green/COPE victory in Vancouver. If he wanted progressive votes, he shouldn’t have used the $1.4b for the community housing fund to bail out developers. If you voted BCNDP in the past, Im asking you to vote Green." @builtjustice on Twitter

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/...

One thing most people don’t know about disability is how unsafe you feel ALL the time. It’s terrifying not being able to trust your body to function properly. It’s scary to need to rely on others for basic survival. It’s frightening watching society label you expendable.

The Amazon’s tipping point is thought to sit near 25% forest loss. We’re at 15%, with 13M hectares lost in 4 years, the size of Louisiana. Indigenous communities are already defending what’s left. What would it take to put Indigenous leadership at the center of the response?

“Our territories, our homes, our waters, the future of our children are at stake.” Indigenous leaders from Peru, Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador are at the UN in Vienna asking governments to follow the money behind Amazon crime, and to give them a seat at the table.

We spoke to people on the streets of Vancouver to find out what issues are keeping them up. A lot of concerns have barely come up in the BC election campaign. 🤔 What issues are you most concerned about? bcclimateemergency.ca/streeter-video

First Past the Post really is a vile electoral system. It's built on blackmail. "No, you can't have your vote represented in govt." "Yes, we will hold a gun to your head to vote for the lesser evil who betrayed you, and if that lesser evil loses, we will blame you." Pro rep now. #bcpoli

Vote to protect every child Against every fucking pedophile Vote like you wanna save the Earth Before they plunder her for all she's worth Women surely need your vote as well 'cause MAGA sure has made their life a Hell So vote like you only see one hue Vote the whole damn ticket only blue #vote

📣 Dear #UCP, The vote today in #Alberta? What a massive, massive, massive waste of resources and taxpayers' money. What a hate-mongering debacle. What a lie-infused polarizing clusterf*ck. Shame. On. You. 😡

Trump admin ordered cyber agents to hack voting machines. Political appointees at DHS wanted the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency to procure a machine & report back to the White House, directed not to alert the voting machine company. www.alternet.org/voting-machi...

You rejected a citizens' assembly on electoral reform less than a year ago and told Greens to "go out and campaign for it." Now that they are, you're begging them to stop. Fix our distorted voting system instead of asking voters to abandon their values.

Around the world, countries are investing in cleaner vessels, advanced maritime fuels, and modern port infrastructure. The United States should be competing to lead that transformation, not clinging to yesterday's technologies.

ICYMI — Last month, we ran ads in @politico.com & @thehill.com highlighting the importance of zero-emission shipping. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ Shipping fuels a major share of global climate pollution, but it’s still one of the least regulated sectors. 🧵

On Oct. 14 @plasticpollutes.bsky.social will host a webinar on how to get toxic plastic packaging off our food. 🥤🍬 Explore the health risks as well as solutions to unwrap our food systems from plastic. 🥕 bit.ly/ppc-webinar-...

Stories about #microplastics and toxic chemicals keep plastic in the news, but they are only a piece of a much bigger story. Learn more about the fossil fuel-connection, environmental racism and decades of industry deception around #plastic recycling: www.pacificenvironment.org/6-facts-you-...

New report uncovers the plastic industry’s propaganda playbook for influencing U.S. K-12 public education, and outlines how to expel the plastic industry from schools. 🍎 Read #PlasticExpelled, a new report by @plasticpollutes.bsky.social: bit.ly/ppc-plastic-...

Our tribal instincts are at the root of some our most deeply wired cultural and psychological behaviours. Although they can at times lead us—and our groups—into trouble, they can also be harnessed towards cooperative outcomes. Our review of Michael Morris's TRIBAL by John Bell. bit.ly/4wDQXHb

Studies find that people fail to realize how kind and open-minded others are. Cynical thinking deepens social problems: when we expect the worst in people, we often bring it out of them. Our latest review by @melraff.bsky.social of Jamil Zaki's HOPE FOR CYNICS. humanjourney.us/book-reviews...

For most of us, designating #cult behaviour is a black-or-white proposition. But the question is less often: ‘Is this, or isn’t this a cult?’—but more ‘How much cult thinking is present in any group dynamic?’ bit.ly/3IGDkjz

In his landmark book THE PSYCHOLOGY OF TOTALITARIANISM, Mattias Desmet offers a more succinct theory of the social conditions and catalysts which can lead to totalitarian behavior, including forms of it that don’t outwardly resemble our most obvious associations with the word. bit.ly/4gZdERT

With children spending more time indoors and immersed in digital environments, forest schools offer a radically different model of learning. By placing kids in the natural world, these outdoor classrooms help foster creativity and more flexible ways of thinking. humanjourney.us/forest-schoo...
