They were going to pass rules to phase out gas stoves, until they received 20,000 public comments against the regulations. Except, oops, it turns out the comments were generated by AI.
For those looking for thoughtful & balanced analysis of this week's BC Budget, I HIGHLY recommend this recording of yesterday's @bcpolicy.bsky.social webinar, featuring budget break-downs by @iglikaivanova.bsky.social, @verosioufi.bsky.social & @svenbiggs.bsky.social 👇

I did not expect to see this in the WSJ:
"Reducing reliance on fossil fuels looks like Europe’s best shot at saving its domestic manufacturing and stopping other governments from pushing it around"
Agreed!
The Eby government has let polluters off the hook and taxpayers could pay the price. Action for who? #bcpoli

In 2019, BC MLAs unanimously passed the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act
It was hailed as a watershed moment for reconciliation
Now, the government is vowing to change the law to block the courts from enforcing it and the official opposition is calling for DRIPA's repeal #bcpoli
I love your optimism @hobbitlover.bsky.social but today's announcement includes financing for the Pathway's carbon capture project which will cost taxpayers in the neighborhood of $60-70 billion.
How sure are you Carney will keep his word when the industry can't come up with the $$$$?
This afternoon, I informed the Prime Minister of my decision to resign as Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, Minister responsible for Official Languages, Minister of Nature and Parks Canada, as well as his Lieutenant in Quebec.
You can find my full statement below.
This is the wall of opposition Carney will meet if he tries to force this project on people who have repeatedly said no. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #defendourcoast
Our voices made sure the Northern Gateway pipeline was rejected by the courts, when hundreds of thousands of Canadians appeared in front of the National Energy Board, marched in the streets, and organized to stop the last Prime Minister who thought this was a good idea.
For decades First Nations and British Columbians have been clear: we don’t want oil tankers or crude oil pipelines on the north coast. stand.earth/press-releas...
I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.
I think all the drama in the BC Conservative Party might have more to do with Eby's sudden interest in a snap election, than the fate of the North Coast Transmission Line. #bcpoli
So we are having another election then? #bcpoli
Since 2016, big banks have directly financed over $15 billion to oil and gas operations in the Amazon rainforest — fueling human rights violations, environmental destruction, and climate chaos. 🧵
#BREAKING: Sleydo' Molly Wickham, Shaylynn Sampson and Corey Jocko will not serve prison time after a BC Supreme Court judge handed them a suspended sentence in Smithers court today for their role in opposing the #CoastalGasLink pipeline conflict.

To put that in context around 800,000 years ago, our human ancestors were facing a near-extinction event caused by #climate change, which may have reduced the breeding population to as few as 1,280 individuals. #yikes www.cbc.ca/news/science...
Despite B.C.’s Peace River Region facing an ongoing severe drought, last year oil & gas companies set a new record high for freshwater extraction, with an alarming 50% increase.
Join us in calling for common-sense changes to B.C.'s oil & gas regulations.

Here is a #BCpoli fun fact. Emily Lowan's vote total in the BC Green's leadership race at 3,1890 is more than double to the total the number of people who participated in the BC Conservative Party leadership review 1,268. 🤔
Well maybe its just about Rustad appeasing the right wing of the Conservative Party as Sturko suggests in this interview. Or maybe she was to close to being able to prove that he cheated in the leadership review.
Either way this story is far from over.
Why is Rustad so worried about someone digging into fake sign ups and why did Sturko have to go?
.
Maybe he was trying to discredit Sturko's attempts work with party staff to discover who was behind the thousands of fake members signed up to vote in the Conservative's leadership review. Which of course Rustad only narrowly survived.
Why would Rustad spread that kind of rumor? Besides of course to take the opportunity to reminding the right wing of his caucus that one of his leading critics with in caucus doesn't share their "values."
I suspect that he was using women in the plural sense and that redacted name in that email is Elenore Sturko's, the openly gay MLA from Surrey-Cloverdale who was kicked out of Conservative caucus by Rustad last night.
Okay here is my BC Conservatives conspiracy theory. Last week an email from Rustad to his caucus apologizing for "spreading rumors about Conservative women" was leaked. The rumor was that an person whose name was redacted was having a relationship with someone in the Conservative office. #bcpoli
It was just a little over a year ago Elenore Sturko left the B.C. United caucus which lead to the collapse of that party. Today she was kicked out of the B.C. Conservative caucus.
How long till that party implodes? Who will be next? Milobar? Halford? Dew? #bcpoli
