I know a few dozen people who support infrastructure and data centers, and of all of those people I only know one who actually works on site
So those data centre support jobs could just easily be in Mexico or India. 🇮🇳
There are many things I’m very proud of as a Canadian. MANY things. But every time I watch another media story about another ambitious push in renewable energy from China, I’m embarrassed that Canada isn’t aggressively working to quickly become a true global powerhouse in renewable energy.
New report: The twin fossil shocks could turbocharge the energy transition

The oil and gas companies maximize profit by transferring costs to the taxpayers and residents
Albertans need a better system so they don’t end up with this liability while oil and gas corps sell fail and skip town.

Should Canada 🇨🇦 create more air pollution within our borders? Or ship 🛳️ our oil coal and gas to other countries so the pollution happens outside our borders?
😉
This is important. it could target people who are vulnerable. Corporate greed is not a Canadian value. The capitalist obsession with extracting the maximum amount of money from Canadians is not acceptable.
Abbotsford Chilliwack and Mission city hurt affordability when they embrace suburban sprawl.

"Taxing the oil and gas companies’ profits means we can deploy some of those revenues directly helping lower and modest-income households, while using some of the funds to expedite our transition off these deadly fuels."
Pope Leo: "The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants, yet it is held together by a multitude of supportive brothers and sisters.”

This is the first oil crisis in which clean alternatives to oil and gas – solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles and batteries – are both inexpensive and widely available.
THIS! ⬆️
Heating oil prices are sky-rocketing around the world.
The Nordics have understood the risks of using fossil fuels for heating early on and transitioned away from heating oil almost entirely whilst phasing in heat pumps.
Or like some cities... nope we refuse to declare anything... we think doing that would be performative... back to doing nothing. :-( sobs...
Top 3 EVs vs ICE in Australia says it all.
EVs: 2.1–2.6¢/km
ICE: 22–25¢/km
~10x cheaper to run.
Even budget EVs (Dolphin, MG4) ~2¢
Budget ICE (Tucson, MG ZS) ~14–15¢
Same roads. Same job. Completely different economics.
Choose your cost curve. ⚡ #Bettrification
"Some estimates suggest that EVs save drivers $350 per month in fuel costs, including a recent report by Clean Energy Canada," writes @nationalpost.bsky.social. #cdnpoli
Gas tax breaks are bandaids at best. Real solution is to help low & middle-income Cdns get off fossil fuels. Invest in solar, heat pumps, batteries, EVs. Tackle barriers, offer real incentives & fund w/ windfall tax on Big Oil (who are laughing all the way to the bank). Cleaner, cheaper, healthier.
Hey BSKY Canadians.
We're serious when we say to take the gas tax break and put it aside for your next EV purchase. Getting an EV next rather than another "gas" car. will put money in your pocket!

If we can get the world using cleaner renewable energy that doesn't pollute. We ALL "win" the war. 🏆
Very cool! (well the EVs are comparatively cool)
Trump seems anti - Christ.
Hey Canadians!
ProTip suggestion (if it works for your life and budget).
Since the Canadian 🫎 government is giving a tax break on fossil 🛢️fuels between now(ish) and Labour day. Put that money aside saving for:
- an electric hot water heater 🚿
- a heat pump ♨️
- an EV. 🚗
hang in there! 💵
Hey Mission, Abbotsford (and others)
Mission's Earth Day event is coming up on Saturday April 25th. Free admission, parking by donation.
We'll be there in a booth.
Come say hi!
Many people we know are completely content to wait 4 years till the US elects somebody who is not horrible.
Crossing the border South means:
10x the risk of getting shot.
Risks of being grabbed by secret police and thrown in detention for no reason.
no thanks. Its great up here.
Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Today in Abbotsford on Old Yale in a park zone.

“We are paying a very high price for our over-dependency on fossil fuels. And the grim reality for [Europe] is fossil fuel energy will remain the most expensive option in the years to come “

Yes in several years of advocacy work we’ve only encountered 2 people switching away from EV back to hybrid.
