Council On Vancouver Island Wants A Class Action Suit Against Fossil Fuel Companies , Meanwhile Canada’s Coal Exports Boom And Right In The Town’s Backyard

The world gets crazier every day.

From the website of The Parksville Qualicum News:

“The Town of Qualicum Beach has committed to work with other municipal governments in the province to bring a class action lawsuit against selected global fossil fuel companies and recover the costs related to climate change.

The decision was reached by council at its regular meeting on Feb. 7 but it was not unanimous as Coun. Scott Harrison voted in opposition.”

And The Canadian Press ( story dated today) reports Canada’s coal exports are booming going from 1 million tons in 2018 to over 8 million tons in 2022.

Where does most of Canada’s coal come from?

British Columbia——-just the Province where The Town Of Qualicum is located.

Did some one say there is a new fossil fuel plant being built in Kitimat ———British Columbia ? Costs over $48 billion.

Are there are thousands of kilometres of fossil fuel pipelines all over BC?

Tamara Lich and Chris Barber got 12 months of house arrest today for “mischief.”
Not violence.
Not property damage.
Mischief.

Peaceful Canadians—criminalised for daring to speak out. The same justice system that drops charges for real crimes and lets violent offenders walk free spent three years trying to break two people who stood for freedom.
The Crown had outrageously demanded seven years in jail to make an example out of them.

Why?
To warn you.
To scare anyone who might ever peacefully defy the state again.

Even the judge admitted Chris Barber “came with the noblest of intent” and never called for violence.

But it didn’t matter. They needed bogeymen.

We remember all the others:
Maxime Bernier was handcuffed in Manitoba for speaking at a peaceful rally.
Mark Friesen was fined thousands for organizing gatherings.
Randy Hillier saw convoy charges stayed after years of harassment.
Todd Dube was ...
