The corruption and revolving door between government and industry is just as prevalent here in B. C.; to think that Oklahoma's issues with oil and gas could not happen to us is a fallacy.

According to hacked emails obtained by @dropsitenews.com, 'journalist' Douglas Murray was allegedly writing secret draft speeches for the Israeli ambassador to the UN while also pretending to be an independent 'journalist'.

Bottom trawling is a devastating fishery practice that provides little to no benefit to Indigenous and local coastal communities. Now we have strong evidence that trawling is even occurring within #MarineProtectedAreas.

The Poilievre campaign’s treatment of journalists, controversy around a “biological clock” comment and obsession with crowd sizes have only entrenched comparisons to Trump.

While the styles may be similar, what about on substantive policy issues? #CdnElxn2025

Defending Indigenous land rights may be “the last line of defence” against a juggernaut doubling down on a high-carbon economy regardless of the costs, including the possible collapse of human society, argues Naomi Klein in “This Changes Everything.”

The moon landing happened, climate change is real, and liquified natural gas (LNG) is just another fossil fuel — no better than oil or coal.

In order to reach the green future the planet needs, Canadians must #SayNoToLNG.

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM

My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social.

The governing ideology of the far right has become a
monstrous, supremacist survivalism.

Canadian leaders are using Trump’s rhetoric to justify more fracking, LNG exports and pipelines. But burning more fossil fuels only helps billionaires—at the cost of people and planet.

We say: No to business as usual. Yes to a just, renewable future.

Reconciliation requires action.

The Green Party stands for decisive action and real accountability to build & re-build trust with First Nation, Inuit, and Métis communities.

Read our commitments and learn more at green.ca/plan.
On a white background, an illustration depicts six hands circling the sun. Curving around the top of the illustration is a bold header that reads, “Indigenous Reconciliation”, followed by smaller text that continues, “Looks Like…” In the top right corner, an arrow indicates there are more images. Below the illustration, bold light green text states, “Honouring treaties. Upholding Indigenous rights.” followed by dark green text, “Taking real action on justice and self-determination.” and returning to bold light green text, “This means action, not just words.” On a dark green background, a white header reads, “The Green Party will:” followed by a list of commitments: “Implement all 94 Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Enact every Call for Justice from the MMIWG Inquiry. End the overrepresentation of Indigenous peoples in the justice system. Fund restorative justice programs. Support Indigenous-led searches of residential school sites. Ensure full access to clean water, healthcare, and education.” In the top right corner, an arrow indicates there are more images. On a white background, dark green text states, “For too long, governments have made promises on Indigenous reconciliation, then failed to follow through.” This is followed by bold light green text, “Enough is Enough.” Smaller dark green text continues, “It’s time for real action, real accountability, and real change. The Green Party is ready to lead where others have fallen short.” At the bottom of the page, a light green semicircle contains bold white text that reads, “It’s time to listen, respect, and rebuild trust.”
