To grow our party, we need a leader that can articulate our Green vision, inspire British Columbians to act, and deliver results. I know what it takes to run for office as a Green and win. linktr.ee/JonathanKerr4BC

TLDR: no, it's not. Despite the spin, LNG is a carbon bomb. Our hydro power is already compromised by drought. We need to use new clean power to support clean industries and communities as they electrify to meet our climate goals. #bcpoli vancouversun.com/news/bc-goal...

Is B.C.'s goal of electrifying LNG to reduce natural gas emissions possible?
The NDP is banking on the Site C Dam and a number of new wind projects to help electrify B.C.'s burgeoning natural gas industry.

A great start to the week! An early morning run through James Bay and along the breakwater in Victoria, followed by sessions on Healthcare and Affordable Housing at the first day of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) conference. #ubcm @comox.ca

I was so heartened to receive this endorsement from @bcgreens.bsky.social members. Our members have fuelled the election of our MLAs and Green policy wins like getting corporate money out of politics. We've made a big mark on this province and we're just getting started. #bcpoli

Doubling down on fossil fuel projects amidst a worsening climate crisis will only make our economy less stable. One of my first priorities as leader will be to travel the province talking to people about how we can build a sustainable, clean economy instead. #bcpoli

Experts are casting doubt on the long-term viability of LNG projects, which are expensive to build and risk becoming stranded assets. As other countries race to transition to clean energy, oil and gas is as risky for the economy as it is for the climate.

Climate change is costing our economy billions of dollars a year from extreme weather damage, drought, crop failure and supply chain disruptions. It is sheer lunacy to keep pumping carbon emissions into the air when we can see with our own eyes how damaging it is.

Jonathan Kerr 4 BC @jonathankerr4bc.bsky.social · 16/09/2025
BC needs an economic strategy that will improve our long-term security and stability. Sadly, the BC NDP’s only idea is to double down on fossil fuels in the middle of a climate crisis and when global commodity prices are in constant flux. #bcpoli thenarwhal.ca/ksi-lisims-l...

Our nation building shouldn’t be climate killing. The federal Liberals and BC NDP are doubling down on fossil fuels, when climate change is costing us billions already. Phase 2 LNG should not be on PM Carney's major projects lists. #bcpoli

Regardless of where they live, health care workers go to work every day with a clear goal: to save lives and keep people healthy. Since 2023, the WHO has documented 1,580 health care workers killed in Gaza. As a doctor, this has been top of mind ever since the war in Gaza started. My statement:

This water is contaminated by fracking and can’t be used until it is cleaned. This is unacceptable - our water should be used for local, sustainable industries, not multinational conglomerates like the LNG industry.

Jonathan Kerr 4 BC @jonathankerr4bc.bsky.social · 04/09/2025
A troubling delay from the BC government on its watershed strategy. This government has been dropping the ball on water, at a time when communities and ecosystems face worsening drought conditions. Meanwhile, they're giving billions of tons to water to the #fracking industry for next to nothing.
