BC Hydro has announced it will add 8500 gigawatt hours per year from solar and wind over two years. They will come online by 2033 and boost the capacity by 13%. Most of it with better than 50% First Nations ownership.
Site C was over $10 Billion and produces 5100GWh annually.
Also by comparison, there is no Pipeline project and no First Nations have bought Transmountain.

This will not help with clean up or sweeping, the environment will be replaced by oily mud, because no one forms community groups to protect oily mud.

The government’s proposal, which is open for public comments until June 7, was lambasted by environmentalists for removing impact assessments on interprovincial pipelines, for allowing project construction to begin before impact decisions are made, for making it easier to destroy fish habitat, and for granting cabinet the ability to exempt specific projects from the application of the jeopardy test for species at risk.
Tell Carney to stop this here:

Mark Carney's proposal to legally allow projects to go ahead even if they result in an entire species going extinct is directed at projects, such as ports and pipelines, that jeopardize the existence of BC's endangered southern resident killer whale population:

Great article by CBC Meteorologist and Seismologist Johanna Wagstaffe on how BC Ferries watches the weather.
There's an “Operational Limitations Matrix”... ie. deciding Go/No Go based not just on the weather, but on capabilities of each individual ship on the route and the docking points on that route.

I encourage everyone to complete the 2026 Canadian census, it's vital for hugely important demographic information that is used by all levels of government - health, education, transportation, environment
That being said, the government advertising $500 fine for not submitting is over the top - I have done FOIs on this over the years, and NEVER found a case of an actual conviction or fine being issued
Sure, it's law, never enforced

When an “old boy” thinks he can "SLAPP” a sexual harassment accusation made on a Facebook group... but then... FAFO bites.
"A B.C. mayor's lawsuit against a resident who claimed the mayor had sexually harassed a local resident has been dismissed by a B.C. Supreme Court judge who found sufficient evidence that the sexual harassment did in fact happen.”

I would prefer if they were on a smaller island, maybe Cortez or Texada.
Pay the existing residents to go on vacation for the next 45 days…
P.S. yesterday I was told about a hantavirus related anti-semitic facebook post from a person who I would have pre-COVID considered a good person.
The COVID Pandemic and Facebook have really really destroyed people's minds and brought out the worst in many. :(

Nearly 400 people have signed our petition to BC's Ministry of Education and Child Care, asking for a two year pause on AI in schools.
Current research shows that students who use AI learn less and understand less.
If you are also concerned about AI in classrooms, it only takes a minute to sign.
Thank you!

Almost Victoria Day Long Weekend!
ie. the “unofficial" start of the summer travel season. So that means, BC Ferries news! 😂This is a good article with good data.
The takeaway for me: there is a big old boat deficit at BC Ferries.
IMO
a) it *should* be fixed.
b) all new ferries should be 100% electric ready.
c) electric terminal infrastructure starting *now*.
d) time to look at fixed links where possible.https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-ferries-deep-dive-2026-9.7193809

Old growth trees being transported on #bchwy19 near #Nanaimo this morning.
I would guess this is just one tree, likely transported by several truck loads. Looks like a western red cedar, about 200-300 years old.
They are still logging these in previously reserved areas along the Alberni Inlet (Nahmint) and on the North Island. 😢
These were in 8-10ft chunks on the truck. Not sure what their destination would be. Possibly chipoing for pulp/paper or 🤷♂️
A total open fire ban starts today which usually means the forests shut down.
Not sure if that is the case, as the fire danger is not extreme but any reason to stop cutting these elders would be worth it.

This is the math that people who want to export more fracked gas from BC (as LNG) want *you* to ignore. The people pushing for more subsidies *know* this is a massive turd, and know how to profit from bankrupt projects. #bcpoli #LNG

If I ever ran for office, I'd run on a single issue, government transparency.
Unless it was super duper top secret, every single gov't decision must be automatically and immediately posted to public page/site that had a RSS/Fediverse feed.
Governments are FOR the people BY the people, give us the info!
Let us deal w/ the firehose of information, we can take it!

Where and how quickly will you allow the Vancouver Whitecaps to build their own stadium?

“Nobody is getting a gold star for repealing #DRIPA,” said Conservative Party of BC leadership candidate Iain Black. “But the real question is… then what?”
It is a pointed question, but in answering it himself, he inadvertently exposes the runaway uncertainty at the heart of his entire party’s approach to DRIPA. Mo Amir writes. #bcpoli

Systemic racism in the c/a/n/a/d/a project:
2% are Indigenous women, but they = 48% of the federal prison population, up from 12% a couple decades ago.
Then this: "Despite representing 3.7% of the Canadian adult population in 2021, Black people comprised 6.2% of all accused persons in adult criminal courts from 2016/2017 to 2022/2023."

I guess it's "Public Education" be damned.
----
"Don Avison, a former deputy minister of education and former board chair for Emily Carr University, has been tasked with suggesting fixes that don’t rely on additional provincial funding."
---me: Students, Insitituions, and previous NDP government reviews have been warning about this for years.
----
"Freedom of Information requests obtained by student advocates showed that Wright was warning the province as early as 2023 about the dangers of colleges and universities relying on international student tuition — and that further increasing international enrolment wouldn’t solve financial issues."
"In its submission to Avison, the Federation of Post-Secondary Educators said the undermining of B.C.’s resource economy by U.S. tariffs makes having a robust system of post-secondary education outside the Lower Mainland even more vital.
It said public post-secondary institutions are “widening access, stabilizing households, and giving people the tools to stand on their own two feet.”"

I like this headline better than my own subject line. And it bears repeating, so here it is again.
If this is being done because of liability concerns -- ie. someone might sue -- well, i guess we had better rethink what the purpose of a park actually is.
Yes, natural spaces can be dangerous!
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK and leave nature alone.

BC has “stalled and started going backwards... failing to move forward with a whole lot of initiatives that they said they were going to do.” - Ken Wu, executive director, Endangered Ecosystems Alliance.
“Unless there’s a radical change, very quickly, there’s going to be permanent damage done to the province.” - Mike Morris, former BC cabinet minister, leader of 2015 biodiversity review in Province of British Columbia.
