Saanich and Langford recently voted to support enshrining the #CoastalMarineStrategy into law 🎉 What does this mean for other BC communities and the future of a healthy BC coast and blue economy? Staff Lawyer @_ErinRGray explains in this short video: instagram.com/p/DGRRbLmzN9A/
This. And in the BC context, @RLittlemore's piece: nationalobserver.com/2024/09… "[the NDP will be] trashing the single tax policy that, through its enforced neutrality, has actually put more money back in the hands of low-income voters." #bcpoli #carbontax

Offshore wind promises to provide vast amounts of #CleanEnergy & will play an important role in Canada’s #climate future. But in order for the industry to move ahead responsibly, we'll need strong legal frameworks to protect #marine life. 🪸🐳wcel.org/blog/offshore-wind-… #cndpoli

At #COP28, we need action from @RishiSunak, @POTUS, @GiorgiaMeloni, @jonasgahrstore, @Bundeskanzler, @COP28_UAE. A tax on fossil fuel profits is urgently needed to help the countries least responsible for climate change respond to its effects.

Recent federal court decision on #Plastics highlights why all levels of gov't must share responsibility for regulating #PlasticPollution. Our marine lawyers explain what the decision means here in BC. wcel.org/blog/plastic-pollut… #bcpoli
A majority of Albertans & 7 out of 10 Canadians support the #EmissionsCap. At #COP28 #Canada must announce a strong cap on oil & gas sector emissions without loopholes! @JustinTrudeau / @CanadianPM, @JonathanWNV, @cafreeland, & @s_guilbeault #CDNpoli xitter.cf/SierraClubCan/status/1…

At #COP28 / #COP28UAE it's time for the government of #Canada to announce a strong cap on oil & gas sector #emissions. Oil & gas companies must not be allowed to use loopholes. #CDNpoli

Clean energy critics often argue that addressing climate change will require too much mining.
So I looked into the data.
I found that our current fossil fuel economy requires 535x more mining than a 100% clean energy economy would.

Hey @Dow_Canada, @ImperialOil, & @NOVAChemicals, stop fighting Canada's progress on plastic pollution. Right now, >90% of plastic ends up as garbage or litter, where it wreaks havoc on wildlife🐢🦦. I want real solutions, not more pollution! #StopBigPlastic
