It's just very hard for Teck to keep track of all their pollution, you know?
For example, I've been told that the coal dust in North Van couldn't possibly come from Teck's massive pile of coal in North Van and this is definitely known for reasons which simply cannot be disclosed (pls stop asking).
Don't forget Osisko. Their Barkerville mine was busted for dumping effluent into Lowhee Creek but convinced the government to reduce its fine to almost nothing because it happened during the COVID pandemic.
I'm not even kidding, COVID somehow made them illegally dump waste 417 times over 68 days.
the premier insists this is needed because “the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled late last year that the mineral rules in the province are ‘inconsistent’ with the DRIPA legislation” but for some reason he's not amending the Mining Act
hmmmmmm

Governments will go broke paying cops overtime & burn down the planet to build yet another AI-but-actually-surveillance-aparatus before they'll do something demonstrably useful, like providing safe supply.
So the Province has been shedding health-related jobs for a couple of years under the guise of streamlining health authorities.
How much of that work was just replaced with an AI model?
And now *police* are partners in a project which will use AI to surveil drug use?
Nothing but red flags.
The same far-right losers who run to the courts to cry about freedom of speech are the same losers who share lists of activists, academics, journalists & politicians they want to bully into silence.
It'd be cool if this was described as "fascism" & not "controversial."

B.C. loves to say it has the cleanest natural gas in the world, but the truth is — well, more like the complete opposite of that.

So there was an endless amount of media coverage over drag queens and trans influencers being an organized danger to society meanwhile the population of France is attending online rape seminars?
Wait that's so much cooler
A dude who opted to beat his face with a hammer and turn toxic masculinity into an Olympic sport rather than logging off.
This is a story about political interference & it's an equally old story of heartland & hinterland: the less glamourous pieces that make urban living possible belong somewhere else, as if the "somewhere else" is devoid of life & disposable.
K2 Pure Solutions continued to lobby governments after being outed for secretly running an astroturf campaign against a competitor, Chemtrade. Now Chemtrade's future is in question, local jobs are on the line & we'll be more reliant on imports.
How. Why.

Toxic drug crisis, or morality-driven policy failure?
CBC should not be interviewing Dan McTeague, a rabid climate change denier.
I don't care what kind of fake-ass fossils fuel boot licking charity he runs.
he's a know-nothing conspiracy theorist

The text of the definition of "advocacy organization" within bill M240 singles out 2SLBGTQIA+, Indigenous, environmental, druge use, homelessness and poverty groups.
One would assume but I didn't realize Tara Armstrong's expose-the-advocacy-groups bill was so explicitly targeting everyone she doesn't like. www.leg.bc.ca/parliamentar...
Coachella is run by a subsidiary of The Anschutz Corporation, Money from Anschutz which includes the profits from Coachella, is funneled directly to right-wing organizations that support key politicians funding ICE, undermining LGBTQ rights, & restricting abortion.

Trump taking a page from Henry XIII and setting himself up for an Act of Supremacy 1534 is not what I initially had on the list for 2026 but Christian nationalism frequently outs itself as divorced from theology so maybe this isn't such a leap.

What can I, an elected member of a legislative assembly, possibly do 😭😭😭
Why take a principled stand & stop the death parade when you could repeatedly capitulate to disinformation campaigns & look very sad while you ask people to just stop dying
You joke but he's the idiot with the 'BC gov't gives fentanyl to children' banner
A typo. His name is Harm Bomm. He's at virtually every fashy event between North Van & Hope screaming bigotries & harassing people. This was part of his appearance at the January 2023 Eby recall rally.
There will be a far-right rally to promote recall campaigns in Kits this afternoon at David Eby's constituency office. Apparently the event will feature Billboard Chris, Barry Neufeld, and a selection of the Fraser Valley residents least tethered to reality.
And don't worry, Universal Ostrich Farms' supporters seem to have a new hobby: drowning media regulators in complaints because CBC said something they didn't like.
A very important piece impacting BC is in the far-right's romanticization of folksy rural living that has never actually existed, leveraging urban residents' lack of knowledge of modern agriculture/husbandry to spin bonkers conspiracies & disinformation.

On a population level (such as a municipality or province), the greatest dangers of right-wing extremism aren't spooky dudes in gyms or overpasses. It's in the erosion of public responses to public threats politicized through disinformation campaigns.

Great, in-depth coverage from CBC on Universal Ostrich Farms grift.
Universal Ostrich Farms turned to right-wing extremism to obfuscate bad animal care. It's still hard to understand how they were able to drag this on for so long.
