Maybe you felt uneasy whenever you go to Cadillac Fairview's (CF) shopping malls in Canada.

These are the CF Executives. If you felt wronged, write to them, call them, etc. Make your thoughts and feelings known. Boycott CF malls!

Re-post:
Let's put a FACE on the people who COLLECTED DATA about YOUR FACE by using Facial Recognition Tech in their Vancouver shopping malls.

The OPC found that #CadillacFairview broke the law.

Boycott #PacificCentre #RichmondCentre Waterfront Ctr!

Petition: Tell Canada to oppose the Mining Code and protect the deep sea from mining. Sign the Greenpeace petition to tell Canada to oppose the Mining Code and protect the deep sea from mining.

Canadian-based The Metals Company ( @themetalsco.bsky.social ) is pushing to mine the deep sea.

Canada must double-down to #StopDeepSeaMining and oppose the Mining Code that would open oceans to irreversible damage.

The Vancouverite & former UBC pres, Santa Ono, now works for the ultra-MAGA, Larry Ellison (who censors TikTok). If you remember, Ono tried to enact conservative measures to appease U of Florida board, but was still rejected.

@sjono.bsky.social @eitoxford.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk @ubcpress.bsky.social

Another disgusting move by @mark-carney.bsky.social & Danielle Smith against the environment & First Nations.

But what did you expect? Carney was a former banker & exec of #Brookfield Asset Mgmt. He's only here to enrich himself & greedy companies.

#FairyCreek #UNDRIP @daniellesmithab.bsky.social

On November 28, 2019, the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia unanimously adopted the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, 2019, becoming the first jurisdiction in Canada to enshrine UNDRIP into law.

Province extends Fairy Creek old-growth deferral

Why just "extend temporary protections" in the #FairyCreek watershed until Sep. 30, 2026?

Both Canada and BC committed to the UNDRIP. You can't pick and choose which First Nations' rights to uphold.

FIFA president, Gianni Infantino with an edited version of the "FIFA peace prize" trophy.

FIFA’s foul, irresponsible, farcical, and absurd approach to the climate https://carbonmarketwatch.org/2024/12/20/fifas-foul-irresponsible-farcical-and-absurd-approach-to-the-climate/

The World Cup In Qatar Is a Climate Catastrophe https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-world-cup-in-qatar-is-a-climate-catastrophe/

FIFA awarding the "peace prize" (Temu version) is beyond vomit-inducing.

Having a clean environment is a criteria to peace. But that's not what #FIFA is known for.

Canadians must show the same unity in boycotting travel to US. #BoycottFIFA Vancouver in 2026!

Tree Logger: "People believe that we have to save every last old-growth tree, but I don't believe that's true."

We have to counter this selfishness and profit-and-jobs-at-all-costs mentality.

@mit.edu Experts: "[W]e should not only plant more trees but also put much more effort into protecting existing forests."

1 hectare of forest = can hold 180 tons of CO2, atm
Canada GHG emissions, 2024 = 586,674,000 tons

"Drax power plant has continued to burn 250-year-old trees sourced from some of Canada’s oldest forests..."

Why does BC & Canada allow this? Do the #British citizens know they are subsidizing this?

Just joined #Bluesky!

If there's one thing you can watch today to learn about the destruction of Fairy Creek, Vancouver Island -- the last 2% of old-growth forests, watch this.

#FairyCreek is for all Canadians, not just for the few.
