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.

Back in 2018, the BC government launched CleanBC, billing it as a "world-lleading climate plan"

Awards were won

Today, I asked the leads of the CleanBC review if BC still has a world-lleading climate plan

The answer, essentially, was no

BC is about to release its review of CleanBC, its plan for reducing carbon emissions.

It already acknowledged that it will not meet 2025 or 2030 climate goals.

My report from when BC announced the review, a condition of its agreement with @bcgreens.bsky.social, in July.

"Openly opposed to a ferry terminal in Royal Bay, [Colwood Mayor] Kobayashi said he was particularly concerned about the potential for valuable waterfront land to be consumed by parking lots."

Seems to me that Royal Bay needs a bus lane, and lots more buses?

Premier Eby recently described B.C. as Canada’s future “economic engine,” one that would be powered “by clean, reliable, affordable power.”

Ten days later, BC Hydro quietly released a more muted vision of the path ahead. @zoeyunker.bsky.social explains. ⚡️ #bcpoli

Fires are still burning in the Arctic in the winter. The climate catastrophe is here.
Spending political energy to massively increase pipeline production in Canada is not nation-building. It is planet burning.

We could live in a country where we reduce our energy bills, clean our air and water, revitalize our communities, take back our energy sovereignty, and create thousands of good-paying union jobs in the process.

The secret? Public ownership.
