Iran War Pushes Asia to Think Twice Before Doubling Down on LNG A record wave of new liquefied natural gas supply was meant to usher in a prolonged period of lower prices. Governments from India to Southeast Asia crafted energy strategies that would allow them to ...

DRIPA is not a threat to certainty; it is our only path toward it.

A suspension of Indigenous rights would torch nation relations, Horgan’s legacy, and block the real path forward - long overdue good-faith negotiations.

Thanks for having me on, Mo @vancolour.bsky.social! #bcpoli

Good god Moe Sohota on CBC calling Indigenous leaders extremists for demanding the @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social uphold the DRIPA legislation passed unanimously by the Legislature seven years ago is a real bad look

Gee it's interesting how when a centrist candidate wins a leadership race everybody tells the left to fall in line and blames the "division" for their poor prospects... But when a left-winger wins all of a sudden it's acceptable to trash them in a press release or refuse to meet with them.

Statement on the Removal of Hon Chan from the BC Conservative Caucus

VICTORIA, B.C.: The follow statement was issued by Conservative Interim Leader Trevor Halford:

“Hon Chan, MLA for Richmond Centre, has been removed from the Conservative Caucus of British Columbia, effective immediately.

Yesterday, Mr. Chan informed me of serious criminal charges against him. Prior to yesterday, the caucus and party had no knowledge of this matter or any related incidents.

Action was taken immediately upon becoming aware of these charges. Our caucus wishes to be clear, any allegations of domestic violence are taken seriously. Anyone who experiences it deserves to know that people in positions of public trust will be held to the highest standard of accountability.

Mr. Chan is entitled to the presumption of innocence and due process before the courts. Those proceedings will run their course.

The caucus will respect the appropriate process as it proceeds.”

It's not clean energy it's fossil fuels. Do the province's climate targets even matter to you anymore?

Enough with the FALSE CHOICE between increasing infill density or increasing the urban tree canopy. BOTH are not only possible, but absolutely necessary. Good design is the key. The real design challenge isn’t building density or the space needed for trees… it’s the space we still surrender to cars.

Carney stays the course on fossil fuels despite the climate reckoning The Liberal government under Mark Carney continues to exhibit the same fossil fuel industry bias as its predecessor under Justin Trudeau. But, experts say, the "almost systematic" approach of Trudeau'...

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Southern California air board rejected pollution rules after AI-generated flood of comments The opposition appeared overwhelming: Tens of thousands of emails poured into Southern California's top air pollution authority as its board weighed a June proposal to phase out gas-powered appliances...

They were going to pass rules to phase out gas stoves, until they received 20,000 public comments against the regulations. Except, oops, it turns out the comments were generated by AI.
