At least the Sun ran a good letter to the editor connecting the dots between fossil fuels and #bcflood. This should be a top story, with ongoing coverage. #bcstorm #bcpoli

The latest atmospheric river has every insurance adjuster and flood recovery company in Southern BC and Washington working overtime. Billions in damages? But @[email protected] says don't blame the media, you are not interested in why your basement flooded for the first time. #bcflood #bcpoli #yyj

Great that @cheknews.ca covered this ‘unprecedented’ home flooding, some of which is not insured. Now it would be great to see a follow up about how fossil fuels are making costly floods more and more common, and fueling the movement to #SueBigOil. #bcpoli #yyj #bcflood

Sadly folks on reddit r/Victoria are reporting that Bowker Creek flooded last night. The climate crisis, mainly caused by burning fossil fuels, is making damage like this much more frequent. #yyj #bcflood #bcstorm

Corporate-funded groups say everyone everywhere should abandon climate action. @[email protected] says that US progressives should instead champion climate policies that make life better and more affordable. Good advice in #bcpoli & #cdnpoli too! newrepublic.com/article/2044... #bcflood

Here’s the Climate Message That Can Help Democrats Win Big in 2026

“We don’t need empty promises from the federal government that they have our back (...) In fact, the federal government has not even reached out to me during this event. So, I’m profoundly disappointed.”

This @[email protected] article in @[email protected] does a really good job re fail of climate adaptation by Eby's NDP. But where is the connection to the related fail of abandoning the #CleanBC plan to reduce carbon pollution? Are both de-facto climate denial? #bcflood #bcpoli
