Il faut corriger “les planètes” à “la planète.” Nous n'avons pas tant d'influence que ça. 😉🪐

We got out into the woods and into the streets today with a message of optimism in the face of cynicism. In this election, vote Green and hold your values not your nose, as we’ve all been forced to so many times before. Make the leap to Green! 💚🌲 Thanks to the walkers and canvassers who joined me.

Today the Premier revealed his environmental platform: re-announcing a marine plan signed two years ago, a land target from 2023 and a data centre power cap that’s already in force. What he didn’t say, is that his own government admits B.C. will miss its climate targets.

The worsening climate crisis means we need to get serious about food security in BC. The Agricultural Land Act protects ALR land but does not expressly require it to be used for food production or food security. BC Greens will create a public land back and refuse billionaire land grabs. #farmers

As a person who has worked in the humanitarian aid sector, the racist and colonial opportunism of this unethical research is not astonishing but it is profoundly disturbing. Opting out of vaccine and pharmaceutical equity in this way is not an unacceptable R&D methodology.

You bet! The thread is super helpful. ✊🏼💚

@westernwriter.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 11:04 PM

On this National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and Gender Diverse People, it must be acknowled that, since the 2019, when the MMIWG2S National Inquiry issued its 123 Calls for Justice, progress has been shamefully slow. No more delays for our Indigenous sisters.

My highest campaign value? Service. Service to the people who put me in office. Provincial politics must be better connected to municipal realities, the communities that make up the electoral map. It’s not an abstract concept.You listen then you respond by pushing for policies that meet their needs.

@westernwriter.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 1:25 AM

Amen!
