Old growth trees being transported on #bchwy19 near #Nanaimo this morning.

I would guess this is just one tree, likely transported by several truck loads. Looks like a western red cedar, about 200-300 years old.

They are still logging these in previously reserved areas along the Alberni Inlet (Nahmint) and on the North Island. 😢

These were in 8-10ft chunks on the truck. Not sure what their destination would be. Possibly chipoing for pulp/paper or 🤷‍♂️

A total open fire ban starts today which usually means the forests shut down.

Not sure if that is the case, as the fire danger is not extreme but any reason to stop cutting these elders would be worth it.

Xactly, and as white men #darvo everyone with being under attack, when it's only the extent of our connection to #patriarchy--particularly the #whitepatriarchy--reminding is all that we can spot entitlement whenever people feel like they're losing something, when others just demand equality.

Smells like treason to me.

Left wing people in Vancouver should know that the party called OneCity is bad people. It's the BC NDP's municipal wing. They ran a professional mining company shill in the last election as an "environmental lawyer". They cheated POC out of their council nominations. Just be warned. #vancouver #vanpoli #canada #bcpoli #bcNDP

I'm already sick of the dozens of data centres in BC.

Kamloops, Merritt and Nanaimo and water and electricity: no thanks.

End this ai, crypto and blockchain environmental disaster.

Politicians pushing social media bans for youth are avoiding the real work of regulating tech giants that surveil us and spread misinformation - shifting responsibility onto individuals instead of corporations. Protecting youth means creating a world worth looking up from the screen for.

Hey @davidebybc.bsky.social, the civilized world (including the federal #NDP) is ditching #fossilfuels like LNG from fracked gas (which is as bad or worse as coal for climate). Why are you and Donald doubling down on the dirty when clean is now cheaper? www.ctvnews.ca/climate-and-... #bcpoli #bcndp

Thank you so much for coming out to the commemoration.

Political parties bloated with a focus on incrementalist change and bare minimalism are such a waste of time.

138 workers should not have died last year.

You and your party's principled focus is so necessary now.

Systemic racism in the c/a/n/a/d/a project:

2% are Indigenous women, but they = 48% of the federal prison population, up from 12% a couple decades ago.

Then this: "Despite representing 3.7% of the Canadian adult population in 2021, Black people comprised 6.2% of all accused persons in adult criminal courts from 2016/2017 to 2022/2023."
