It was wonderful to join the @ycc_can during their meeting with Premier @Dave_Eby and Minister @GeorgeHeyman today. We discussed opportunities for young people to engage in direct climate action through paid employment.

As British Columbians continue to feel the squeeze of inflation, it's important that they can count on affordable, stable BC Hydro rates.
Unlike the previous government, we're going to continue working hard to keep the cost of BC's clean electricity down for people. #bcpoli
BC Hydro can remotely lower your thermostat to reduce energy consumption in this voluntary program. cheknews.ca/bc-hydro-can-rem…
This is a pretty awesome and diverse looking cabinet. I have such great hopes for my home province.

A Youth Climate Corp would be a hugely hopeful opportunity for young people, and for all of us!
My latest column out today:
How to win electoral support from young people? How about instituting a Youth Climate Corps

'That other building really sucked'! I got a kick out of the Mayor talking about the new Passive House Firehall 17 that achieved a 99.7% operating carbon reduction! @PHAccelerator @PassiveHouseCan @PassiveBldgsCan @PHTechGroup bc.ctvnews.ca/that-other-bui… – at Vancouver, British Columbia
It truly is the most bizarre of times. Those of us who work in climate are used to it being politicized, but this is next level.
This is the Member of Parliament for Kelowna…while her city is being evacuated as a result of wildfires. Making climate policy a divisive electoral issue while hundreds of thousands are being evacuated due to the climate emergency is beyond tone deaf. It’s terrifying. #cdnpoli
Great video Home Energy Navigator! Nice to see @ahemmayispeak profiled.
A recent analysis of BC homeowners who swapped out their natural gas to an electric heat pump concluded that 2/3 are now paying the same, or less, on their bills than they did before!

This is tragically sad...
In the last week, 3 people, including 19 year old Devyn Gale, died fighting Canada's wildfires.
Our hearts are with the families of these heroes and our eyes are on our political leaders. Canada's actions must match the gravity of the climate crisis.

I am glad to hear this family has some solace now that their family member is found. Now lets search Winnipeg's landfills for Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran.
This is not an uplifting article but it is critical reading about the climate crisis, record heat, and our continued approval of oil and gas projects.
As fires continue to burn out of control, a senior Canadian official argued for weakening environmental targets because...we need oil for bike chains.

The need to switch to clean power to fight climate change has never been more urgent. Working in partnership with First Nations and @bchydro, we're going to generate more of the renewable, emission-free electricity that we need for BC‘s clean economy. news.gov.bc.ca/29000
