Proud Canadian 🇨🇦🍁. Cloverdale, BC resident since 2001. Fighting for a more equitable and compassionate society. The climate crisis is real. End fossil fuel consumption now if we expect to leave a livable planet to future generations.

Stand up for what you believe in - democracy, equality, livable planet, affordable living, etc. You pick, but STAND UP. Future generations are counting on it.

Great video from #BarrysEconomics . "When people talk about poverty, they usually talk about money.
Low wages. High rent. No savings. No safety net.
But that’s only half the story.

The most corrosive part of inequality isn’t just material hardship — it’s humiliation.

Why does our society require a reminder like this? 🤷🏻‍♂️

If people are homeless, you house them.

If they're hungry, you feed them.

If they're struggling with addiction, you help them.

It doesn't matter who you are.

Everyone deserves access to food, water and healthcare services ....

EVERYONE.

Long past the point of action. Wealth inequality needs to be reversed.

Private equity didn’t just kill Toys “R” Us—it’s draining hospitals, nursing homes, daycare centers, and even local newsrooms.

This week’s Closer Look exposes how an industry that claims to “save” companies is actually hollowing out America.

"Since the April election, federal officials have recorded more than 220 meetings with oil and gas lobbyists — more meetings than days. The immense lobbying push was reflected in the federal budget, and continues to shape federal priorities."
The way to read the Canada-Alberta MOU is that Carney is using the Trump effect as political cover to pursue the deregulatory agenda he’s long wanted. I spoke with @naomiaklein.bsky.social who called it a classic example of the shock doctrine.
Did the climate world misread Carney?
Many in the climate movement saw a fellow traveller in Mark Carney — the man who could preach climate action in the language of finance — but what if they were wrong from the very start?

Phrase of the day....'Gold-Bar Diplomacy'. When Swiss tycoons handed Donald Trump a gold bar and a Rolex watch – gifts that were followed by a cut in US tariffs – it was no diplomatic nicety. It was a reminder of how concentrated wealth seems to buy access and bend policy. Great article below.

🚨 Rachel Reeves JUST unveiled “the most complex government budget in history.” But without a proper wealth tax we’ll never fix the NHS or fund schools properly. So we HACKED a billboard in her constituency with the real solution: TAX THE F*CKING RICH

Hey Bluesky users. I need your help. The BC Green party has, by far, the best policies that would lift the standard of living for most citizens and yet they struggle to get more than 10% of the vote. Why is this?

One thing about the Trump admin, they don't hide their intent. An invasion of Venezuela is all about capturing the oil & gas reserves for American fossil fuel giants. This sounds like another Shock Doctrine to me.

Ironically, PM Carney skipped COP30 in Brazil, to announce that the federal government will fast-track the American-owned Ksi Lisims liquefied natural gas project in British Columbia. 👎😒

And we've got a message for business people—whether you're the president of Walmart or the head of a small business:

If you cannot afford to pay someone something they can live on, you cannot afford an employee. You're not running a company; you're running a human exploitation scheme.
