BC’s public utility has been focused on hydropower since the company was formed in the 1960s

Corporate inertia keeps them on that path, even if new electricity costs more than double that from alternatives

Wind & solar power with battery storage can provide the least cost energy.

LNG from fracked natural gas is worse than coal.

LNG leaves a greenhouse gas footprint that is 33% worse than coal, when processing and shipping are taken into account

Yet the BC gov spends heavily to promote its “clean energy” strategy. It spends even more subsidizing LNG processors. #bcpoli

DARVO Manipulation Strategy D A DENY Perpetrator denies whatever wrongdoing they are being accused of doing. ATTACK Perpetrator attacks the other person by questioning their mental health, honesty, or actions. R REVERSE VICTIM & OFFENDER V The perpetrator attempts to switch roles with the victim. Instead of accepting responsibility for their actions, they try to make the original victim into the perpetrator. choosing therapy

Bad enough BCNDP gaslights media & voters more than BC liberals did & they did a lot

Even if they answer it’s often just #DARVO, gaslighting, or redherrings

Being so allergic to accountability and transparency by just putting out a written statement statement is an insult to the public #bcpoli

Hey #bcpoli - help shut down LED highbeams.

Good on you

A written statement is not an interview.

You can’t ask follow up questions in the moment and get an answer right away.

It’s their way of avoiding accountability.

No wonder many people don’t trust politicians

Please ask all of your media colleagues to do the same.

#bcpoli

this is good practice when a government has a shield wall of comms

because the government IS answerable to the public so yeah answer the questions

they really don't want to

#bcpoli

Put simply, fee simple title and aboriginal title are NOT compatible - many people in Richmond have been denied mortgage renewal by their banks and the government doesn’t have the $$ to cover for every homeowner in BC!

Poll on Castanet website asking “should BC suspend the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act for three years?” Showing 4362 responses with 79.28% voted “Yes”, 13.39% voted “No”, and 7.34% voted “Unsure”

Not surprised but still disappointed that close to 80% voted that they think BC should suspend its legal obligation to treat First Nations with respect on @castanet.net #BCpoli #cdnpoli

This is exactly right.

Here in Canada, the subsidies that have been given to oil & gas companies must end. And the subsidies for clean energy must increase.

So many people in BC are stuck in the distant past re solar vs #LNG (fracked gas) economics. Partly because the distant past was only 4-6 years ago? #bcpoli
