Last part of my Fortis series for @TheTyee! BC's building emissions are RISING despite its promise to halve them in just six years... I asked, what does that huge change require? And what does it mean for gas? #bcpoli #energytwitter #EnergyTransition thetyee.ca/News/2024/03/2…

Affordable housing in Nanaimo is a big issue. Nanaimo Renter and Landlord Survey just in: 79% of people renting spend over 30% of income on housing. 28% over 50% of income!!!! 30% of income on housing or less is deemed affordable. Yikes…… . pub-nanaimo.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ash… #nanaimo

Glad to be a signatory on this complaint. CSA certifies wood clearcut from little remaining BC big treed ancient forests as “sustainably” harvested. This is gross greenwashing and very misleading marketing. #climatecrisis #bcpoli #nanaimo ecojustice.ca/pressrelease/s…
Great! I can name you at least five other First Nations who want to protect old growth on their territory right now! Shall I give them your cell or what?
From day one, our work to protect more ancient forests has put Indigenous peoples at the lead of land management in their respective territories. The Pacheedaht, Ditidaht & Huu-ay-aht hold that constitutionally protected interest & it's from that position they've approached us.
“We’ve been demanding deferral from the province since September” —Chief David Mungo Knox, Kwakiutl #bcpoli #oldgrowth @bcndp @KatrineConroy @mbabchuk_mla @GeorgeHeyman @NikiSharma2
While we're talking about logging deferrals on the south island, it's worth remembering other First Nations are asking for a halt to #OldGrowth logging. David Mungo Knox is the hereditary head chief of the Kwakiutl First Nation. #bcpoli
A rare occurrence when I see colleague @SkyeRyanCHEK. Today we compared our Covid19 boom setups. She’s been reeling in scoops with her fishing rod while I’ve been stick handling interviews with my hockey stick #socialdistancing Can’t wait for it to end
#ICYMI On Monday #Nanaimo City Council voted in favour of Coun. @BenJGeselbracht's motion to formally call on the BC gov. to defer logging of at-risk #OldGrowth forests until they have fully addressed the recommendations in the Old Growth Strategic Review. timescolonist.com/news/local/nan…
Thank you @RDNanaimo for the generous $95,000 towards the purchase of the land for our future new warehouse! Thank you @tylerjbrown2018 & @BenJGeselbracht for coming to discuss a future of #sustainable #foodsecurity in our #community! #Nanaimo #foodrecovery #nofoodwaste #nohunger
Tomorrow marks 6 months since the BC government released its old-growth report and committed to the timelines in it. @wildernews, @SierraClubBC and @AncientForestBC have graded how the government is doing, and we'll issue our report card bright and early. Stay tuned. #bcpoli

Not only does the @bcndp government not have a plan to reach them, the targets themselves are too weak. Meanwhile, the government is still funding #climatechange through LNG subsidies and old-growth logging. At some point this crisis warrants action, not just acknowledgment.
13 temperature records were tied or broken in BC yesterday 10 new wildfires started over the weekend The @bcndp still don't have a plan to reach their climate targets prpeak.com/heat-warnings-…
