Will we have to change the logo for the Canucks when the local orca population goes extinct as a result of the Pacific Link pipeline? This is a massive environmental and cultural risk for BC. But our local Liberal MPs will just nod along with the Prime Minister.

Latest howler from Vancouver’s hapless mayor Ken Sim: Asked why ABC didn’t do more during their FOUR YEARS in power, Sim replied: “We’re still learning the ropes.” What a joke. Vancouver deserves so much better. #vanpoli

I am similarly going to condemn this action. Distracted driving is extremely dangerous and I see it so often in Vancouver as a driver, a cyclist and a pedestrian. By which I mean I have been hit by distracted drivers several times, and have loved ones who have been killed by distracted drivers.

But instead Danielle Smith's favourite PM is using tax payer money to gamble on ever increasing greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions mean more towns like Summerland will be evacuated each summer. August will become smoke month for Western Canada.

A bold strategy would be public ownership to advance sustainable fuels that the world needs. Sustainable aviation and marine fuels are a major challenge for decarbonization. Canada could put our expertise into petrochemicals into solving these issues along with partners on the Pacific Rim.

We are getting a new public-owned oil pipeline. It's a weird position for a socialist organization to oppose public ownership. But this is a case where public ownership is a subsidy for the fossil fuel industry. Shielding them from the $30B of cost overruns and the risk that Asia goes green.

A hope for the BC election is that the @bcgreens.bsky.social can break through in more ridings. Premier Eby is hoping that a divided right will make for an easy victory. But it also means that we are free to vote our conscience on the left and vote for leaders with principles.

Carney is truly the Reagan of Canada. A calming, paternalistic figure in a period of apocalyptic uncertainty who galvanizes the economy with short-sighted right wing fiscal policies. And like Reagan, every disaster that Canada encounters in the future will be traceable to his administration.

On School Board, ABC had trustees who barely ever bothered to show up to Board and committee meetings. So no surprise Ken Sim's party is no-showing community-organized forums and debates. Let's save them the trouble of skipping out and just vote them all off the Board.

The policy of this government is to return massive profits to shareholders and executives and then use our tax dollars to subsidize the high cost of gas and diesel. It's a bad policy for economic equality, it hurts our economy, and it runs up the deficit for the benefit of wealthy corporations.

Every oil price shock is a reminder of the value of robust public transit & intercity transit. We live in a country where these shocks are a boon to one part of our economy at the expense of everyone else. Fair policy would tax these excess profits (these companies would still be wildly profitable).

Democratic Socialists YVR @demsocsyvr.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

This is a $2.1B subsidy. Canada is an oil producing country and oil companies are having their best years ever with profits increasing by billions of dollars. A sensible policy is a windfall tax on oil companies and using the revenue to invest in infrastructure that makes us less dependent on oil.

The other obvious tool is putting on export taxes to double the pain on the USA. Aluminum, oil, potash, and electricity are all things that the US needs from us. The other obvious target is US tech, which is a major backer of Trump. Bring back the Netflix tax and ban new fed contracts with US tech.

Carney is a true neoliberal who sees all tariffs as bad. I'm worried he will buckshot tariffs, rather than see them as elements of an industrial policy. The play is to enact tariffs to build domestic industry and implement complimentary policies to support that development.
