Congrats @seanorr and @Lucyincanada on a decisive victory! This win is a strong rebuke against Sim’s musings of bringing back a motion to introduce gas in buildings later this year. Vancouver needs strong social & climate champions, not those who capitulate to gas lobbyists.
BREAKING... COPE's Sean Orr and OneCity's Lucy Maloney have WON the two Vancouver City Council seats in this by-election. ✅✅ #vanpoli #vanelxn #vanelxn25

The federal government’s Draft Regs to cap GHG emissions from 🇨🇦 Oil & Gas Production NEED SUPPORT & IMPROVEMENT. Use their online public consultation to tell them that before January 8, 2025!
Watch this video & see our website to learn how.

As is, even if Reccomendation A were to only pass, Vancouver will still be behind leading cities like Burnaby, Port Moody, Victoria, Nanaimo, and more than a dozen others. Staff report here: council.vancouver.ca/2024112…
#Vancouver will fall behind the rest of the Lower Mainland and other regions in the province unless the staff report is amended to remove Recommendation B (path 2). @LisaDominato @PeterMeiszner.
Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw, səlilwətaɬ, UBC, surrounding local governments like Burnaby, Richmond, North Shore, & Port Moody are accelerating #climateaction & moving away from nat gas in buildings. Meanwhile, Vancouver is voting this Tuesday whether to allow gas in buildings #vanpoli
As @sarahkirby_yung @LennyNanZhou @rebeccaleebligh and others consider allowing gas in buildings, it might be worth noting that @SquamishNation just released their Climate Legacy Strategy which includes having all buildings be zero carbon squamish.net/community-initi…
Great to see @rebeccaleebligh listening to a broad group, including the construction industry, climate advocates, & businesses from tech, restaurants, and others calling on council to reverse this hasty decision to reintroduce gas in buildings. We hope others on council will too.

Happy to share that over 150 organizations across 🇨🇦 have join the call for a Youth Climate Corps.
It's time to mobilize thousands of workers to strengthen our communities and respond to the climate crisis. That starts with a YCC.

Good to see some Coquitlam cllrs get building decarbonization as a win for our climate, our energy bills, and our health. We continue to call for full building electrification in 2025 & to join their neighbours including Burnaby, Port Moody and New West! tricitiesdispatch.com/coquit…

It’s quite concerning that with mounting evidence that gas in our homes is dangerous to our health, Vancouver council is reconsidering re-introducing gas in our homes #vanpoli @sarahkirby_yung @LennyNanZhou @rebeccaleebligh @LisaDominato @PtFry
Wow!
A new study says harmful gases linked to heart and lung disease from gas stoves shave nearly two years off a person’s life.

REVEALED: I found tax records showing that one of Canada’s top anti-climate websites is getting funding from a former fracking CEO.
True North got $250k last year alone from the foundation of Gwyn Morgan.

"Climate change is and will continue to be very expensive, with costs ultimately and unfairly landing on today’s youth." Check out Squamish Cllr Lauren Greenlaw's letter in support of @SueBigOil to make polluters pay their fair share of climate costs! squamishreporter.com/2024/10…

👻 BOO! There’s something sinister lurking in your community… un-natural gas! ☠️
The Gas industry is greenwashing its product to put the “trick” in trick-or-treat this spooky season – but these #MonsterMisconceptions are far from #TheFrackingTruth. 🔗 thefrackingtruth.ca

Climate change made 37 Canadian heat waves more likely in 2024
The analysis is part of a new federal rapid attribution system meant to help plan for extreme weather made worse by climate change

This is great!
Dozens of Vancouver construction industry leaders have sent a letter calling on city council to reverse its plan to start allowing natural gas heating in new buildings.
Excellent comments from @Lanefab & other builders. vancouversun.com/opinion/col… via @VancouverSun
Another great piece this morning, this time from *those in the construction industry* calling on council to keep polluting gas out of new buildings. Please reconsider your vote, @rebeccaleebligh @LennyNanZhou @sarahkirby_yung @MikeKlassen. It isn’t too late to do the right thing.
