The next 4 years of Conservative majority will be a nightmare for public schools.
Cuts in funding, persecution of minorities, selling out to big-tech.
We will continue the fight.

New analysis from Climate Central reveals that global warming likely contributed to the hot and dry conditions during and prior to some major B.C. wildfires this summer.
Climate Central used its Climate Shift Index, which is a tool that examines how much more or less human-caused climate change influenced temperatures, to determine how much hotter climate change likely made the weather prior to and during large B.C. wildfires

The participants demanded climate justice and actionable measures from politicians to address the environmental issues and climate change. The message is particularly significant since the Canadian federal election is happening in October 2019

“In a normal park, we estimated there were about 30 species of wild bees,” says Jens Ulrich, a former University of British Columbia (UBC) PhD student who worked with the city between 2021 and 2024 to study the meadows’ ability to attract wild #bees and hoverflies.
“In a park with a meadow, we saw that number jump up to something around 60 species per park – per year.”

New research from the University of Victoria (UVic) has found that some kelp forests around Vancouver Island were disappearing far earlier than scientists previously thought, highlighting that climate change has been altering our ecosystems long before most people were aware anything was wrong

Citizen of #Canada but resident in US was questioned for hours over voting at #BC border crossing.
“The very first thing she asked was, 'Have you ever voted in a federal U.S. election?'" said Adamson.”
Adamson, 61, said she told the US border agent she had never voted in a federal election.
DHS alleges she falsely claimed she was a US citizen "for the purposes of registering to vote in Whatcom County."
DHS alleges she voted in #Washington’s 2018 general election.

Mobi bikes make 2.4 trips per day, & that it takes 18 bikes to remove tailpipe emissions from one gas-powered car
Through this, they found that 54% of Vancouver bike share trips would have otherwise been done in a car, reducing about 298 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year
That’s pretty good, but if those bikes were used eight times a day, it would only take five bikes for every one fossil fuel car & reduce tailpipe emissions by more than 3%

Shea said permafrost “goes fairly deep into the mountainside” and is “basically like a glue that can be holding some of these mountain pieces together.”
“And if you thaw it enough, and then you sort of wedge another bit of ice in, it’s just enough to make it topple,” he said.
“Rock falls & landslides are going to become more frequent & common as permafrost thaw moves upwards in the mountain regions”

Do an internet search for “energy efficiency apartment tips”. Any of them will provide a better return on investment in Canada than buying balcony solar.
Altering the path of global warming is not beyond our ability, but who you vote for and how you hold politicians and corporations accountable is much more powerful than using balcony solar to reduce your energy bill by 10%
