I gave them my vote, my time, my energy and - perhaps most importantly - my trust. That trust has been broken. Why I broke up with David Eby’s NDP #bcpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/14/o...

Why I broke up with David Eby’s BC NDP
When the NDP came to power, they promised to take climate change seriously. Instead, we’ve watched those promises unravel.

Thank you, Ross! @nerdyaboutnature.bsky.social ⚡
Emily Lowan and the BC Greens are the only ones who actually have a platform that fights for equitable change and a livable future for all of us fellow non-trillionaires, to make life better for everyone in the province, from the working class loggers to school teachers, the elderly to unhoused, for everyone regardless of your race, class, gender or species."

Thank you, Rob! ⚡
Emily Lowan is smart, astute, personable, principled, and incredibly energetic, and will put the proven leadership skills she acquired as a youth climate justice activist and organizer to work for her constituents and our province.
She will work tirelessly to wrestle back control of BC's political system and energy plans from oil and gas lobbyists, tax the oligarchs, and address the affordablilty crisis. It is with great enthusiasm and respect that I endorse her candidacy, and I know that my parents, key founders of Greenpeace, would be cheering her on with me, if they were still here today.

Thank you, Barbara! ⚡
As the child of Greenpeace founders, who has worked on Greenpeace campaigns, I can say with confidence that if my parents were alive today, they d be working right alongside me, stumping for Emily Lowan.
At 26 she's already a proven quantity, leading successful lights against the fossil fuel industry (with Divest UVic), and for human rights. Her intelligence, energy and track record give me hope.
However dire our problems look, I know that Emily will always serve the people in her riding.

Nearly a decade in government and the NDP's still letting private schools suck the life out of our education system. Credit to @emilylowan.bsky.social & @bcgreens.bsky.social for calling for an end to the two tiered education system.

There's only one tax plan that taxes wealth, not work. Be bold, join the BC Greens and let's build the province we deserve. #bcgreens #wealthtax #fairsharetaxact

Don't just take it from us — top international economist, Dr. Emmanuel Saez, has endorsed our tax plan. Check out the details in our Economic Vision, see in bio
The BC wealth tax proposed by the Green Party has the right structure: a significant one-time wealth tax to make sure the wealthiest pay their fair share on all of their previously accumulated wealth, and an on-going annual wealth tax to ensure they continue to do so moving forward.
This bold BC wealth tax proposal finally jumpstarts the conversation about taxing the ultrarich in the Canadian provinces."

The BC Greens believe in better. We’ll act on climate, protect old growth for good, and put a moratorium on new AI data centres until there’s real regulation and communities have a say.

And his new water rules will tell communities how much water a data centre uses after it’s built but won’t say if they can say no to a data centre before it’s approved.

His $50 million for old growth, shared with mill retooling, comes six years after he promised to implement every recommendation of the Old Growth Strategic Review, and they’re still not implemented and giant trees continue to fall.

Today the Premier revealed his environmental platform: re-announcing a marine plan signed two years ago, a land target from 2023 and a data centre power cap that’s already in force. What he didn’t say, is that his own government admits B.C. will miss its climate targets.

Without truth, there can be no reconciliation. It’s a humble but essential place to start. We must uphold DRIPA, and begin to forge a real path to coexistence that benefits all British Columbians, new and old, for today’s generation and for all generations to come.

The economic insecurity people are feeling is real. Politicians have no plan or will to address the roots of this affordability crisis. Instead, this new boogeyman is a convenient distraction from the growing pile of broken promises.

Why are Indigenous people now being subjected to levels of overt hostility and racism unseen in decades? One chief recently told me he was denied entry into a store for being “Indian”.
