  1. With yet another snap election called by the #BCNDP, it’s now clear that this party needs to stack the deck in their favour in order to win elections.

    With municipal elections on the go, #BCConservatives and #CenterBC in disarray and the US midterms keeping everyone distracted, seems like a perfect time for Eby to play the now well used “shock doctrine” card.

    After decades of support, I for one, will no longer be voting BCNDP.

    I’m unimpressed with their right wing lurch, mishandling of #covid19bc and capitulation of our #BCHealthCare, as well as their LNG obsession, constant push for new dams, need to sacrifice our last remaining old growth, as well as their jovial endangerment of our last remaining herds of caribou.

    #DavidEby’s party doesn’t deserve the majority they seek. #Bcpoli deserves better than cheaters and liars like David Eby, Bonnie Henry and Adrian Dix.

    BC needs #electoralreform, not rushed elections whenever it suits the ruling party.

    From now on my wife and I will vote with our conscience, and in doing so we can longer support this fossil focused BCndp.

    Thankfully, the recent break up of the Right affords me the luxury to vote #BCGreens from now on.

    See you around #Eby, you should have retired Henry and Dix when you had the chance.

  3. Ancient Growth logging continues on southern Vancouver Island near Fairy Creek. This is a picture of people climbing an estimated* 600yr old cedar marked for removal this week. They had to sneak around police and logging company barriers to set up the tree sit. Last heard they are still there. Over two dozen arrested.

  4. They're gearing up to log #FairyCreek/Walbran Valley again 🤬 felling the last intact old growth watershed left on #vancouverisland

    Old Growth logging must stop!

  5. @thegreenpagesBC

    Did #BC just flood the #PeaceValley to use #SiteC Dam power for LNG and an Bell/Grok AI data cluster?

    Is this the start of US corporations drinking our water for memes of Will Smith eating spaghetti?

    This is disturbing behaviour from our province. #BCNDP have clearly forgotten that they are on a razor’s edge and can be voted out easily.

    Eby continues to embrace #LNG extraction in the wake of #TMX, #SiteC, #FairyCreek and now Elon’s #AI Data Centers will be drinking our water?

    This #BCNDP is clearly no better than destructive #Conservatives, if they continue down this path they’ve lost my vote.

    Trump is not an excuse to openly rape our Province for profit, #Eby is completely out of line and no different than #Horgan.

  7. #RCMP was ‘unreasonable’ when setting up exclusion zones around Fairy Creek protest
    By Leanne Sanders
    Sep 11, 2024

    The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP - #CRCC says that the RCMP was unreasonable in setting up broad #ExclusionZones and checkpoints while enforcing a civil #injunction covering the #FairyCreek area in #BritishColumbia, home to #OldGrowth #forests and a #protest led by people trying to save them.

    “In its review, the CRCC found that the broad exclusion zones and checkpoints used by members of the RCMP’s Community-Industry Response Group #CIRG were unreasonable,” said the report released on Wednesday. “The review determined that the RCMP’s demand to search the complainant at a checkpoint on a public road was unfounded, and his arrest, after refusing to agree to the search, was groundless.”

    C-IRG is a low-profile RCMP group tasked with responding to protests and other public order events about resource based #industrial projects like #logging and #pipeline construction.

  8. Logging of British Columbia's #OldGrowthForests increased -- despite government's assurances since overhaul to forestry practices 3 years ago.

    #OldGrowthLogging increased by approximately 13% between 2020-2021.

    Summer 2023: 400+ #BCwildfires/day plus #BCdrought of 60+% of water basins at highest severity level. Need biodiversity w/ old growth forests to support ecosystems, slow #ClimateChange.

  9. #ForestProtectors Arrested at #FairyCreek

    By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, August 16, 2023

    "Three forest protectors were arrested on Tuesday protecting the old-growth forests west of Victoria, as Canada continues to target #NativePeople with police operatives protecting the interest of destructive industries. The police ops are #BritishColumbia's C-IRG, the Community #Industry Response Group.

    "Mourning the invasion of the #MilitarizedPolice squad who arrested the #ForestDefenders, who were his guests, #Pacheedaht #FirstNation Elder Bill Jones said, 'We are at the end times of our great forests.'

    "Abolish C-IRG said, 'Due to the increasing amount of #indigenous-led anti-resource extraction movements in British Columbia, the Community-Industry Response Group was born. C-IRG is unique to British Columbia. They are militarized, have no budget limit, and the officers get paid handsomely to force #pipelines, #mines, #dams, and #logging through unceded #IndigenousTerritories, without consent. This is just another extension of the #RCMP’s original task- to remove and separate people from the land and enforce #ColonialRule. They do not keep us safe, they protect #capital."

    Background: Back to Fairy Creek

    "The last time the world was watching Fairy Creek, we witnessed the largest act of #CivilDisobedience in #CanadianHistory. Well over 1,000 Indigenous and non-Indigenous forest defenders were arrested by the RCMP over months of tense standoffs in 2021 as #activists sought to halt the logging of rare #AncientTrees.

    "The courts hammered that movement, with charges and bail conditions keeping many away, and the tussle in the trees went dormant for most of the last two years.

    "Until now.

    "A new blockade, led by #IndigenousYouth and supported by non-Indigenous allies, has just been erected on a key bridge crossing an arterial logging road. The RCMP's specialized tactical team that responds to land defence actions is present and surveilling the camp. A raid could come any day, and having #media on the ground is of crucial importance to keep tabs on police and document the latest developments as land defenders seek to protect their unceded territories from old-growth logging."

  10. YES!! PROTECT OLD GROWTH NOT OLD DESTRUCTIVE INDUSTRY! The forest industry much be reformed and overhauled.

    "The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the appeal application from the B.C. Crown and awarded costs to protester Ryan Henderson.

    In light of that decision, the cases against other people who took part in the Fairy Creek blockade on southern Vancouver Island have been withdrawn."

  11. Good article on all involved in protecting BC Old Growth, which is in fact shorthand for protecting our critical CO2 sequestering resources and the last examples of an ecosystem being eradicated from the planet.
