This is insane!! A directory of government staff is not only essential for reporters and MLAs so they know who to call to assist constituents, but also for the actual bureaucracy so they can, you know, do their actual jobs

This is just BS by both Carney and Trump - it's how he played Iran, and he is losing that. Just stand up to the fuckhead, call him out, get US states onside who NEED Canadian trade, and play the midterms

We don't need a deal, the US does - and no frigging way US booze is coming back, we won't buy it (sorry not sorry Kentucky)

Hey #yyj! Remember that the mass homelessness crisis was *deliberately created* as part of the Neoliberal experiment started by Thacher, Regan etc circa 1980. Ignore the Timbit Trumpers calling for more jails (involuntary treatment) and cops. We must do better. #bcpoli (Context in 🧵⬇️).

It didn’t take long for Conservative Party of BC Leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay to start taking the province back 30 years to a divided right. Tyee senior editor Paul Willcocks writes. #bcpoli

Let's build a bridge from the Lower Mainland to Vancouver Island. with a city on top - all social housing, clinics. libraries, schools, a metro train service

London in the 12thC had the right idea

Extreme fire weather is B.C.’s ‘new reality,’ but that doesn’t make these blazes ‘normal’:

“We’re moving into uncharted territory (…). We’re on a trajectory, and it’s downward.“

Is climate crime* really "smart politics" in Canada? Do "most Canadians approve of Carney’s fossil-fuelled" plans to incinerate our forests, communities and economy? Does the average Canadian hate their children and grandchildren? (*violates of international law) #cdnpoli #bcpoli #climatecrisis

British Columbia’s government is contemplating carving the province into three zones to “provide greater clarity” to the timber industry, and discussions have so far left out First Nations. Ben Parfitt reports. #bcpoli

Bike and roll routes "connect our communities together. They make us see each other, talk to each other... And that kind of community is inherently dangerous to an authoritarian government." This is why Trump, Ford, Smith, and the far right globally, hate bike lanes. #cdnpoli #onpoli #bcpoli

Meteorologists forecasting a "Super" El Nino in late 2026 -- 'may exceed anything we've seen at least for the past 100 years.

An Environment Canada meteorologist's forecast for #BritishColumbia:

Warmer & milder than normal Winter temperature ➕ below normal precipitation through Winter...

🟰unusually low snowpack, esp on BC Westcoast

🟰early melt for snowpack

🟰dry land surface & vegitation

🟰drought + increased 🔥 #BCwildfire risk

‘When we elect New Democrats, we win important supports for people, like pensions, pharmacare, dental care, child care and stronger labour protection,” added Janet Davis. “I’m proud to endorse Shannon, and I’m looking forward to the energy and integrity she will bring as our future MP.” #NDP #cdnpoli #bcpoli

minor shuffle as the NDP Finance Minister has been diagnosed with cancer.

(the article says "minor" cancer which is a weird thing to say, even when there are treatments.)

Josie Osborne @josie_osborne takes over Finance from Bailey.

Khalon goes from Forests to Health.

Bailey goes to Jobs Ec Dev.

Wishing Minister Bailey a successful treatment!

We are encouraged to hear that Minister Brenda Bailey’s cancer diagnosis is treatable, and we wish her strength and a full recovery in the months ahead.
