The children yearn for the bus lanes.

"I think bus lanes are a great idea. Just so it's easier and faster for everyone that rides the bus".

Such wisdom from our younger generation. Great to see!

The BC Greens stand with the First Nations who oppose this project. The BC government must not bend on this issue and must stand with First Nations. Just yesterday, the CleanBC Review was released making clear that our climate responsibilities and fossil fuels cannot co-exist.

The #CleanBC review shows that the B.C. gov has acted with one hand to reduce emissions from buildings, from transportation, from other industries, & then acted with the other hand to increase emissions by allowing a massive expansion of #LNG production & #fracking #bcpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This Finnish concept or doctrine of "Comprehensive Security" is something that might profitably inspire other societies in these turbulent times.

It is mostly NOT about military or #defence: it is about national #resilience against all crises.

And it's MUCH better than individual prepping.
…experience living beside an unpredictable bully. This isn’t just about boosting Canada’s🇨🇦 military power - it’s about harnessing all our strengths to become a more resilient society that will survive shocks of every sort, including economic. In Finland this is called ‘Comprehensive Security’. 2/x

Experts reviewing CleanBC say the plan to reduce carbon emissions is working — but the province needs to take a closer look at LNG.

The province’s plan to reduce emissions can be salvaged. But expansion of gas exports needs scrutiny, reviewers say.

The CleanBC review’s recommendations are toothless, rolling back targets and bending the knee to the corporate-captured BC NDP. The review identifies LNG as the problem, but its proposed solutions would make industry lobbyists blush. #bcpoli

The #CleanBC Review does not include the word "doubt". "Verification" only appears in a footnote. Happy assertions instead of critical analysis.
