Tonight at #COP27 Canada had the chance to align w/ Colombia, Tuvalu, Norway, EU, Denmark, France & the UK and call for the necessary phase out of all fossils
Canada's silence puts them on the same level as those blocking - inc. Saudi Arabia, Iran and Russia

Can't believe @jjhorgan said this leaving office "How arrogant do you have to be to think that the five million of us are going to solve a problem [#climatechange] that's affecting eight billion people?" Missed opportunity to acknowledge that we are not on the right path #bcpoli

Important day to reflect on and be honest about John Horgan's environmental legacy.
On the climate and biodiversity crises, leaders shouldn't be judged against past ones, but on whether they do what's needed, and on that, Horgan hasn't delivered.

Then we need to see action:
💵End all fossil fuel subsidies
🛑Stop new fossil fuel infrastructure
⚡️Electrify everything
📉Plan to phase out fossil fuels
🌿Protect and restore nature
⚖️Ensure equity, inclusion, and a just transition
#cdnpoli
We have come a long way together and we are so close.
Now is our chance to land something historic to help the world’s most impacted on the losses and damages of climate change and keep 1.5 alive at #COP27.
We must accelerate climate action, not stall or backslide.

Gentle reminder of what we’re up against:
Britain recorded its hottest day ever as a heatwave gripping Europe intensified. Temperatures exceeded 40C, or 104F, in the country and fires burned across London reut.rs/3ofLUvX
I’ve been mostly staying away from Twitter, but i just saw this … fantastic news!

Canada’s financial industry is fueling the climate crisis by continuing to pump $ Billions into the fossil fuel industry. While they claim to be aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement, in truth greenwashing is rampant. 1/7🧵

Why isn't this front page news ?
🚨 Breaking 🚨 The European Parliament just called for nation-states to “work on developing a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty” in its formal #COP27 resolution.
This is a major development in the global push for a #FossilFuelTreaty.

Listening to Chief Woos from #Wetsuweten is asking "everyday citizens" to ask the politicians "What the hell is going on here?" I ask you @jjhorgan. I ask you @Dave_Eby. What the hell is going on with this drilling under the pristine river? #protectsalmon #protectwater

Elizabeth Cull, the BC NDP Chief Electoral Officer, is literally a registered lobbyist for LNG Canada with Hill & Knowlton Strategies: lobbyistsregistrar.bc.ca/app…
Before the media released her report, this Hill & Knowlton lobbyist was tweeting out the report's details.

“The improper coordination with third parties (primarily Dogwood) played such a significant role in the Appadurai Campaign that it is impossible to create a level playing field … and impossible to restore the Leadership Election campaign to a state of integrity.” #bcpoli

BC Green leader @SoniaFurstenau names former NDP loyalists who are now oil and gas lobbyists as evidence the party establishment was never going to let climate activist @AnjaliApp run for the leadership.

Only the NDP would try to argue that new, ideologically motivated young people joining their party to vote in a leadership race is bad actually and grounds for disqualification

Anjali provides a thoughtful and generous response to Electoral officer's bogus and biased report.

I don't think the oil and gas lobbyists coming out in support of the Cull report is helping the party. At all. What a mess. #bcpoli @bcndp #LetHerRun
