Carney has never taken the U.S. threat seriously: "share of fed. contract dollars heading south went from one-fifth in the 16 months before Carney took office to nearly a third under his watch.... IBM & Microsoft charged Ottawa more than $1 billion each for software license fees & IT..." #CDNpoli

Gentle reminder to check your ableism when talking about Christa Pike. Disabled people can see you talking about how you hope she’s brain damaged and has to suffer a “fate worse than death”. We’re fighting eugenicist regimes who believe we’re “better off dead”. Don’t feed that narrative.

Fun facts: 🔥Since 2007, BC’s climate pollution has decreased by 2.3 million tonnes. 🔥Approved LNG export projects will increase BC’s climate pollution by 21.2 million tonnes by 2035. 🔥This is ten times more pollution than we’ve managed to cut in nearly 20 years.
Trends in BC's greenhouse gas pollution from 1990 to 2023, with two projected futures. Approved LNG projects will increase BC's emissions by 21.2 million tonnes. If we meet BC's climate targets emissions will decrease by 80%. From 2007 to 2023 BC has only reduced 2 million tonnes of climate pollution.

During those meetings, many community leaders said they lacked information they needed to make informed decisions — things like routing, engineering and design, environmental effects, marine shipping, emergency responses and impacts on Aboriginal and treaty rights.

Those concerns were cited both by communities that backed the project and those that didn’t.
