On October 1, the minimum wage will go up in five provinces, but for low-wage workers, a few extra cents an hour won't close the growing affordability gap. #canlab @simonenoch.bsky.social @policyalternatives.ca kirklandlakevoice.ca/in-the-news/...

This bold faced lie is actually appalling in its audacity. What he’s saying is NOT true if a project is deemed in the national interest!! Which he applied for the whale-killing port expansion to be!! And if C-39 passes, even the conditions won’t necessarily apply!!!!

“Expanding malfunctioning LNG Canada is like betting on a concrete canoe at a sailing regatta,” @richardbrooks.bsky.social Read more here: www.theenergymix.com/breaking-new... #BCpoli #CDNpoli #LNGCanada #LNG #BritishColumbia
The Globe notes that the American/Israeli war on Iran and the resulting disruption in the Strait of Hormuz have set off a scramble for short-term gas supplies. But analysts say a global oil and gas glut is still approaching fast, and will be in full flight by the time an expanded LNG terminal can be built and brought online. The Energy Mix has also learned that a new independent analysis, due for release later this week, will raise serious concerns about the viability of the Phase 2 project.

For months, news reports have also pointed to severe health and environmental concerns in Kitimat, with gas flaring at LNG Canada Phase 1 far exceeding what its provincial permits allow. Black smoke spewing from the site and broken equipment triggered a regulatory order April 21, and the continuing situation prompted an air quality expert from Texas to call out a “free pass” the company is receiving from B.C. regulators.

A #WarOnWalking. A war on biking. A war on public transit. A war on any transportation choice other than driving. A war on better cities. But a war on cars? Hardly. Cars still get most of the space, rights, budget, prioritization, etc. And any effort to add more choice is immediately attacked.

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”
