How can one person create lasting change?

After decades of unchecked political power — fuelled by unlimited money from corporations, unions and wealthy individuals all over the world — B.C. has finally banned Big Money in politics. But after decades of Big Money poisoning our democracy, British Columbians continue to suffer the consequences.

Attorney General David Eby appears to have inherited a huge mess. Money-laundering casinos, a housing market corrupted by drug dealers, powerful industries writing their own laws — our beautiful province is rotting from the inside out.

Our democracy is suffering from decades of darkness and secrecy, with Big Money pouring in from corporate bank accounts and lobbyists running amok. It’s time to let the sunshine in.

Justin Trudeau wants to hand billions of taxpayer dollars to Texas oil execs – so they can force a pipeline to the B.C. coast.

The finance minister is offering to bail out Kinder Morgan if they can’t get their pipeline built — giving our hard-earned tax dollars to oil billionaires in Houston.

B.C. Premier John Horgan is facing a wave of pressure like we have never seen.

Pro-pipeline politicians in Alberta and Ottawa are threatening B.C. with sanctions, lawsuits and even soldiers if we continue to block Kinder Morgan’s oil tanker project.

The B.C. government announced a halt to increased shipments of diluted bitumen until scientists can finally study what this toxic blend of heavy crude does when it spills.

Now, Kinder Morgan’s Texas executives say they might cancel their oil tanker expansion altogether.

The Trudeau government is telling the world to stop burning deadly thermal coal for electricity. At the same time, they are letting U.S. coal companies ship their coal through B.C. ports to China, Japan and Korea for that exact purpose. And these exports are increasing.

Did somebody say climate hypocrisy?

Coal dust billowing off the American coal trains careening through our towns is coating the homes and lungs of children in British Columbia. Why? So Donald Trump’s coal baron donors can squeeze the last profits from their dying industry.

U.S. ports reject coal exports because of their poor financial future and health impacts. Now this dirty U.S. coal is bound for B.C. ports, putting our health and economy at risk — and it’s getting a free ride.
