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?

Some of these things I still miss
I grew up without safe spaces.
I grew up without trigger warnings.
I drank water from the hose.
I ate peanuts in class.
None of us wore a helmet.
Kids got hurt. We fell down. And we signed a lot of casts.
We couldn’t pause TV. We’d call out “It’s on!” as soon as the commercials started to end (for those who had left the room). And we watched our favourite shows as a family.
There was no next day delivery.
There was no bundle this with that.
There was no internet. Skip the Dishes didn’t exist.
Fast food was not the norm. It was easier to eat healthy. There were home phones. There was VH.........
