A photo of Vancouver's BC Place and above it the words, "Sign up to speak! Keep ICE out of the World Cup". The word "ICE" is crossed out.

To keep the FIFA World Cup fun for all, and be a successful event for the city, @ptfry.bsky.social is teaming up with @copevancouver.bsky.social's @seanorr.bsky.social on a motion to keep ICE out of our games.

The deadline for you to sign up to speak is Feb. 24 by 5pm.

This timeline just keeps serving up better than fiction #dystopian narratives… 🤌

Amazing 😂 What a waste of capital, time and resources which tracks with the entire #Trump #Melania #Bezos #dumpsterfire

Canadians must demand more than talk and PR apologies. @hootsuite.com Irina #Novoselsky and Jimmy Pattison Development need to make this right with something actionable, meaningful and timely. Anything less requires divestment by #asset owners.

Shameful corporate complicity. We must do better.

We must close loopholes at the very least. There is so much more to do, but this is a critical step ✌️Thank you #NDP!

@uvichumanities.bsky.social I’ve shared it with my UVic Gill Grad MBA is Social Innovation colleagues! We are currently in 2 courses with a lot of content focused on AI. Looking forward to these conversations 🙂

Cash would have helped me leave.

All forms of violence increase with economic inequality, including domestic violence and femicide/murder of women. Every man who perpetrates mass public violence starts at home.

Policing can not help; a guaranteed livable basic income would.

It’s surreal when systemic sexism comes to light. I have no words 🤦🏻‍♀️

I really wish our elected representatives were not so horny for trade deals with a fascist state.

Our gov't is exactly like Nazi Switzerland making huge profits selling military and genocide equipment to Nazi Germany during the Holocaust. We actually don't need to be Fascist Canada.

Sacred Earth Solar is doing amazing work 👏👏👏

Climate change made B.C. floods at least twice as likely, study suggests | Globalnews.ca The study concludes that the likelihood of similar events in the future will only increase as global warming continues to upend normal weather patterns.

Did you know that Catastrophic floods that swamped much of southern British Columbia in 2021 were at least twice as likely because of burning fossil fuels? Did you know that fracked gas exported as LNG is as dangerous for the climate as coal? globalnews.ca/news/8622139... #bcpoli #bcflood

It is curious, isn’t it??

Canada shamed as “Fossil of the Day” at COP30, for the first time in more than a decade - Climate Action Network Canada (CAN-Rac) Belém, Brazil, 18 November 2025: Today at COP30, international civil society denounced Canada as Fossil of the Day—the first time since 2014 that Canada has been singled out for this dishonour.

📢 For the first time in over a decade, Canada has been shamed at #COP30 as the “Fossil of the Day” — the most dishonourable award given during COPs to the countries “who are the best at being the worst and doing the most to do the least.”

Tonight I am working on an assignment for my MBA in Sustainable Innovation at UVic on this topic. The recent reporting from the CBC on Canadian companies supplying weapons to Sudan and tech to the US being used to target Venezuelan boats. Seeing the complicity of Canadian businesses is a disgrace.

AI data center revolution sucks up world’s energy, water, materials In 2024, the state of Querétaro in north-central Mexico suffered its worst drought in a century, impacting crops and communities. Seventeen of the state’s 18 municipalities were affected, putting…

Voices in the Global South say that AI computing (whose producers remain principally in the Global North) is evolving as a new form of extractive colonialism. Some Indigenous people say it is time to question limitless technological innovation with its heavy environmental and social costs.

We've missed out on nearly $30BN in tax from tax cheating mega-corporations & from under-taxing extreme wealth as we enter Day 5 of #COP30 & #UNtaxConvention negotiations. A better future is possible when we use tax to protect people, economies & planet. #TaxForClimate taxjustice.net/topics/un-ta...

It's day 4 of #COP30 & #UNtaxConvention negotiations, & so far we've missed out on $21 billion in tax to tax cheating multinational corporations & to the under-taxation of extreme wealth. The problem isn't scarcity, it's weakened tax sovereignty. #ChangeTaxNotClimate

I wasn’t expecting this bit of good news! 👏

This is in my hometown and not surprising. Violence inflicted to Indigenous residents of the north has been happening my entire life. It is absolutely unacceptable.

The @bcombuds.bsky.social needs to get involved again.

The full moon reminds us that life moves in cycles. Our ancestors followed these rhythms to stay in balance with themselves and the world. When we disrupt natural processes, we harm ecosystems and ourselves. Honouring cycles keeps all life in harmony.

The President hosting a Gatsby themed party at his resort as 42 million Americans are minutes away from losing access to food is just so on the nose.

Alexa Loo, Malcolm Brodie, and David Eby are courting white supremacists with this intentional and shameful fearmongering about Indigenous title. We need to be vigilant in recognising and opposing every move further into fascism in BC.

Our Indigenous neighbours are NOT the enemy.
