Imagine Macron would have said 'We can't rush it' when Notre Dame burned. Yet, these are the words of BC's #forest minister speaking about the last old-growth. "Huge, holy, and eternal-feeling, like a branched and needled Notre Dame" @JohnVaillant @bcpoli thetyee.ca/News/2021/03/11/B…

meanwhile, @bcndp continues to annihilate the last remnants of our province's old-growth forest, exactly as they promised not to do #bcpoli #SaveFairyCreek

Replying to @jjhorgan
@jjhorgan and the @BCNDP are getting failing grades on old-growth. 6 months since releasing their old growth report, the vast majority of BC’s #ancientforests are still at risk. Read our joint report card made with @SierraClubBC & @wildernews below 👇
Wooooooooooow. Andrew Scheer. How ignorant do you have to be for Indigenous solidarity actions to feel like oppression?
"These protesters, these activists, may have the luxury of spending days at a time at a blockade, but they need to check their privilege," outgoing Conservative Leader @AndrewScheer says of the #Wetsuweten protesters. #cdnpoli More here: bit.ly/2uLhfi2

An account of my trip to Wet'suwet'en territory, what I learned there, and a call for a peaceful and respectful resolution. #Wetsuweten #UNDRIP #fracking #LNG #Climate #GPC @CanadianGreens paulmanlymp.ca/post/wetsuwet…

In #Montreal just now, @JustinTrudeau just said they'll invest profits from #TransMountain in clean energy, because "that's what Canadians expect." Nah, we expect you to cancel the pipeline and stop subsidizing #fossilfuels. Stop gaslighting us. #cdnpoli #elxn43 @gmbutts

With 23 days left in this campaign, I have decided to tweet one excellent thing every day that you might not have heard about #GPC platform. First up- universal child care focused on early childhood education. #childcare

Wishbone, Sam and I got some exercise today at the annual #Nanaimo #TerryFoxRun. This year marked 39 years since Terry launched his #MarathonOfHope to raise funds for #CancerResearch. "Even if I don't finish, we need others to continue. It's got to keep going." Terry Fox

It was an honour to take part in the Vancouver Island Crisis Societies suicide prevention day event 'Soles Remembering Souls'. Thank you to the compassionate people and organizations in our community who care for those in distress. #Nanaimo #SuicidePreventionDay

We need to talk about the bigger picture on the SNC-Lavalin scandal. At the Ethics Committee Emergency Meeting on the SNC-Lavalin Report, Elizabeth May urges our representatives to get the interests of foreign corporations out of our civil service.

Thank you. Smear campaigns distorting my views are par for the course. The assault on women's rights is chilling. Attacking the country's only woman leader is an odd distraction.

I had a busy and productive first week in Ottawa. My orientation, staffing & #ClimateChange topped the agenda & Westwood Ridge and the DND lands were a hot topic. I'll be sworn in on May 27th and will be able to enter the HoC as an MP. paulmanly.ca/blog/my-first-w…

Yesterday @ElizabethMay and I met with representatives of CPAWs, David Suzuki Foundation, Ecological Action Centre, Nature Canada & Oceana to discuss their #Election2019 priorities. No surprise their priorities aligned with the #GPC Vision Green policies of @CanadianGreens

I am unequivocal in my support of a woman's right to a safe & legal abortion. In 2019 the only person who should be making decisions about what happens with a woman's body is that woman. The @CanadianGreens have always stood for the right to choose and we will continue to do so.
