Give me a break. All the money from carbon pricing goes back, with the majority of Canadians (especially lower income) better off. I think Jagmeet Singh needs a briefing but also a climate plan - and one that supports the people the NDP professes to care about.

I await details of the NDP climate plan but this isn’t a promising start. The populist messaging is both misleading (the carbon tax puts $ in most families’ pockets) and risks undermining support for necessary actions. Industry is <50% of Cdn emissions. theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…

This is much bigger news, as in it matters, than Singh’s statement today 👇 Aside: I think we can trace the end of the carbon tax to the Fed’s foolish decision around exempting heating oil. Lost all the arguments that day through that brazenly political decision.

Shirley Bond is joining Adrian Dix for a healthcare announcement tomorrow. Never thought I'd say that sentence in my lifetime. #bcpoli

I get that it’s election time and one should expect a certain amount of popularism. But not on core issues like climate change where having a clear and consistent position on effective policy is paramount.

Just received a call for a Main Street BC election poll for eligible voters: 1. Which party I'm voting for 2. Support for maintain/end SOGI 3. Support for maintain/end carbon tax 4. Demo questions #bcpoli

New analysis from BMO Economics, reposted in The Hub, confirms BC had the strongest per capita real GDP growth of any province over the last 5 yrs: thehub.ca/2024/09/18/rob…. Only 3 provinces had positive per capita growth in this time (BC highest). AB was worst. #bcpoli /2

Great to see my alma mater, #TransLink, taking more climate action. Moving West Coast Express commuter trains to renewable diesel is a climate quick-win! buzzer.translink.ca/2024/09/west-c…

What's interesting is that the BC Conservatives have a lead on the BC NDP in (checks notes)... Metro Vancouver? #bcpoli

Not so fast, even TransitCenter experts don't agree that "free transit" is the ticket. They key to ridership is to make transit fast, frequent, reliable, which you get from major service investment, not from discounting something that is already cheap. transitcenter.org/transit-be-fre…
