I volunteer 30-40 hours of my time every week to fighting for climate justice, but wow I'd really love a piece of all this foreign funding I'm hearing about

It has been just 27 days since I officially became the @BCGreens candidate for North Vancouver-Seymour I want to thank everyone who has supported me throughout this whirlwind month. Your belief in our campaign meant so much 1/9

Quick word of advice for all the social media trolls out there: Before you comment, take five seconds to click on my bio and check my pronouns Misgendering me because I have long hair completely undermines your already tiny amount of credibility

@jthornthwaite Is this supposed to be an apology? Will all the young women considering entering politics who you harmed with these comments get an apology? Do you even understand how harmful your comments were?

The RCMP and @bcndp are perpetuating a colonial petro-state, violating the rights of Indigenous people, forcibly removing them from their territory to make way for a destructive pipeline

Can we please stop proposing tiny homes as a solution for unhoused people? The space and money exists to give them normal size homes

Vigil at Vancouver city hall for innocent Palestinians slaughtered by the Israeli government Interesting that none the politicians who showed up to honor Israeli's who were murdered are here It's almost like they only care when one side commits war crimes and murders civilians

BC's youngest MLA is 35 years old That leaves the youngest 40% of British Columbians without representation! I am 20 years old, I'm a student, a renter and an activist I'm running to make sure young people have a voice in BC politics #bcpoli #bcvotes #NorthVan

The hand wringing from home and business owners after Vancouver's property tax increase is ridiculous "How will I possibly survive paying an extra $15 per month tax on my multi million dollar house?" 😱😭😱😭 Have you tried being a renter in this city?

JUST IN... #TransLink estimates it loses $40 million each year due to fare evasion. That's equivalent to an entire month's worth of fare revenue or the monthly operating cost of SkyTrain and West Coast Express. #bcpoli #vanpoli

Another massive wildfire has sparked near Osoyoos and it's raining ash as far as Penticton! How many homes burning, people dying is it going to take for the BC NDP to start treating the climate crisis like an emergency? #BCPoli #Osoyoos @SethDKlein

B.C. is in a state of climate emergency with no emergency plan

As the crisis manifests, it’s time the provincial government gave its climate plan a reboot, writes columnist Seth Klein.

Our wildfires are so big they're creating lightning storms that are starting more wildfires... But don't worry, everything's fine... We're decades away from the climate crisis affecting us. We can continue building new fossil fuel projects and logging our old growth forests

I've watched a lot of wildfire-associated pyroconvective events during the satellite era, and I think this might be the singularly most extreme I've ever seen. This is a literal firestorm, producing *thousands* of lightning strikes and almost certainly countless new fires. #BCwx

It is a damning indictment of the BC NDP that Terry Yung feels like his politics align with them It is even more disturbing that the party appears to have interfered in the nomination race, forcing the other candidate, @JeanetteAshe , to step down 10/11

Why is Leah Gazan the only MP speaking up? The RCMP are violently forcing Indigenous people off their land to make way for a fracked gas pipeline! Indigenous politicians shouldn't have to stand up alone against violent colonialism!

North West Mounted Police, now the RCMP, was created to control & remove indigenous peoples from their lands to advance colonial development, kidnap children and ship them to residential schools & force indigenous peoples on reserve. The same thing is happening today in 2021!
