Alex Pretti, a 37-year old nurse, was just murdered by ICE in Minneapolis. We must organize and build solidarity across borders to #AbolishICE.
First up - BC billionaire Jim Pattison owns a US warehouse that will soon be turned into an ICE processing facility. Tell Eby to shut down the deal. #bcpoli

Edison Motors is eating Tesla’s lunch with made-in-BC hybrid truck manufacturing … This is the kind of local innovation we need to build a 21st century economy. So why is the BC NDP icing out Edison and doling out grants to foreign corps? 🤔
Thanks to Chace at @EdisonMotors for the amazing tour of your new shop in Donald, BC! 🚚

BREAKING: Another rapid response action! Indivisible Vancouver is leading a protest rally THIS FRIDAY January 30 against Jim Pattison, who is planning to sell one of his warehouses in Virginia to DHS/ICE to become a human processing facility. #boycottpattison #ice #iceraids #protest
BREAKING: The BC Teacher's Union passes motion in support of boycott, divest and sanctions (BDS) movement -- a historic victory and show of solidarity with Palestine. Congratulations to all the teachers who organized to make this win a reality.
Canadians, time to #BoycottPattison. Jim Pattison, BC grocer billionaire, owns a US warehouse that will soon be an ICE facility. Let’s crank up the boycott pressure on Pattison and organize for a real #wealthtax on these ghouls. This is a stark reminder of how the billionaire class aids and abets fascist forces.
Just like in BC, the UK is stuck between an ineffectual ruling party riding off of its former progressive policies, and a rising far-right one. That’s when it’s time for the Greens to step in.
Bold politics focused squarely on uplifting working people can upend the status quo, defeat the corporate agenda, and deliver a better world.
Congratulations to Hannah Spencer and Zack Polanski. Greens across the world are proving that this fight is one we can win. #globalpolitics #greensweep 💚
BREAKING: We’re dropping our agreement with the BC NDP.
To renew our agreement, we asked for material action.
Eby’s NDP plainly refused.
So we’d like to share a new agreement with YOU. We agree to fight for affordability, take on the establishment, and stand with the working people of BC, always.
WE WON. Celebratory gathering at 5pm @ Pattison HQ, to unpack our victory and next steps. Hootsuite ICE protest is ON as planned at 3pm, let’s crank up the heat🧊
This is the harsh reality of Eby’s LNG experiment. Kitimat is BC’s gas guinea pig — asthma rates are rocketing, the gas flare casts a dystopian 24-hour daylight and rental prices are sky-high. Together, we can get out of this boom-bust cycle and reclaim BC’s economy for working people. ⚡️#kitimat
Happy Trans Day of Visibility🏳️⚧️💚 It was an honour to speak at today’s @ Sagah rally, alongside such inspiring advocates!
We gathered today because a party we trusted to fight for trans people, the BC NDP, is putting up barriers to things as fundamental as access to life-saving healthcare. Seeing you all here today, in community, in resistance, is how I know that through that exhaustion, through these difficult times, we will ultimately prevail.
David Eby, on camera, admits that he axed the carbon tax because of corporate lobbying. Cutting it made life more expensive for workers and cheaper for big polluters.
He says BC is too dependent on resource extraction - and yet their plan is to triple down on American-owned gas projects.
We deserve a government that works for people, not the corporate fossil fuel lobby. #bcpoli #lng
When we ask the government to stand up to corporations, we shouldn’t be worried that they’ve got a profit motive to look the other way. But that’s exactly what the BC NDP is allowing. Meet your AI minister, Rick Glumac.
New job just dropped!⚡️ THANK YOU to our incredible team of volunteers, dedicated members, and support staff for getting us here - I couldn’t be more excited to be your BC Greens Leader.
I know that we’re at the forefront of a powerful movement that will reclaim BC’s economy for working people, not billionaires and multinational corporations. Now’s the time to get involved - join the BC Greens, become a volunteer (link in bio), and stay tuned for what’s next 💚
The only issue with DRIPA is government inaction. Over the next five months, the government has an opportunity to move beyond a futile amendment negotiation and instead:
👉 Repair the harm caused from the last 6 months of government misinformation and fear-mongering
👉 Fund accessible public education on DRIPA and reconciliation
👉 Build a shared vision with First Nations on the *implementation* of DRIPA

We met Hasan Piker, the biggest left wing streamer in the world. As the 99%, we’re not out numbered, we’re out-organized. When we stand together, we have more power than we think⚡#politics #hasanpiker
How the BCNDP got ghosted and wasted $150million on a foreign multinational, instead of investing in BC companies who are here to stay like @ Edison Motors … ⚡️
It’s time to reclaim BC’s economy for working people — not foreign billionaires. #fighttheoligarchs #tour #bc #edisonmotors
