Did you know that the Canadian public "already pays more to ship each barrel of oil on the publicly owned pipeline than contracted oil companies." And Carney lies about it, claiming it makes money, as Canada burns. thetyee.ca/News/2026/08... #cdnpoli #bcpoli

Mark Carney has: -scrapped consumer carbon tax -scrapped oil/gas emissions cap -cut $1.3B from environment Canada -weakened industrial carbon pricing -axed 2 billion trees program -approved 1M barrels/day pipeline -weakened greenwashing laws While this is happening:

The media and the oil industry (both mostly American owned) have convinced Canadians of two major lies. 1) That our economy and wellbeing are massively dependent on the industry. 2) That wildfires and destruction are just the price we now have to pay for it. #cdnpoli

Guilbeault: Canadian taxpayers are going to be on the hook for tens of billions of dollars for yet another fossil fuel infrastructure, which we don't know whether or not it will be profitable in the long term.

A pipeline funded by…. you. This is a government pipeline with a mere 10% stake from private investment. And jobs? Last year 10k Albertan oil workers were laid off as production skyrocketed. Call it what it is — a handout for the dying fossil fuel industry.

Don’t buy Big Oil’s lies 💸 The only way Canadians will benefit from the oil price shock is if we tax the fossil fuel industry’s excess profits and use those billions to help everyday people. #cdnpoli #canada #gasprices

When doctors are taxed at the same rate as billionaires, you know the system is rigged for the ultra-wealthy. Ending this era of wealth inequality requires the political backbone to tax extreme wealth. That isn’t the BC NDP, and certainly isn’t the Conservatives. The BC Greens will tax the 1%.
Statistics Canada reports wealth and income gaps grew in 2025
Statistics Canada says the top 20 per cent of the wealth distribution accounted for 65.7 per cent of Canada's total net worth at the end of 2025, averaging $3.5 million per household.

Avi Lewis just won the NDP leadership, and the worst people on the internet are having an absolute meltdown. I think that might be a good sign — because there are very specific, exciting reasons why he pisses them off. Let me tell you all about them:

FACT CHECK: No, Pierre Poilievre. This man isn’t facing a $750,000 fine for simply saying ‘there are two genders.’ Once you read the actual B.C. Human Rights Tribunal decision, you might find Poilievre’s defence of this “truth” and “free speech” chilling and, well, indefensible:

🚨Hidden austerity is still austerity🚨 Corporations and billionaires are the winners of the BC NDP budget, while working people are forced to foot the bill. Eby’s cuts abandon $10-a-day childcare, cancels public housing, and puts thousands of public servants out of work. #bcpoli #bcbudget

There are fountains of wealth being generated in this country. But that wealth isn't trickling down to working people. It’s all stuck at the top. Our 'Tax Plan for the 99%' takes on the corporate hoarding class – to redistribute wealth⁠ and raise the floor for all of us. Join us: lewisforleader.ca

Mark Carney and Danielle Smith’s MOU is an abuse of power and a spit in the face to British Columbians. They will never ram a pipeline through BC without the consent of Coastal First Nations and Northern Communities, and we’ll make fucking sure of it. #bcpoli
