Another great piece this morning, this time from *those in the construction industry* calling on council to keep polluting gas out of new buildings. Please reconsider your vote, Rebecca Bligh, City Councillor Lenny Zhou 🇨🇦🇺🇦 Sarah Kirby-Yung 楊瑞蘭 Mike Klassen 麥嘉信 🇨🇦. It isn’t too late to do the right thing.

This is great! Dozens of Vancouver construction industry leaders have sent a letter calling on city council to reverse its plan to start allowing natural gas heating in new buildings. Excellent comments from Bryn Davidson @Lanefab & other builders. vancouversun.com/opinion/column… via The Vancouver Sun

Great to see Rebecca Bligh, City Councillor listening to a broad group, including the construction industry, climate advocates, & businesses from tech, restaurants, and others calling on council to reverse this hasty decision to reintroduce gas in buildings. We hope others on council will too.

Climate change made 37 Canadian heat waves more likely in 2024 The analysis is part of a new federal rapid attribution system meant to help plan for extreme weather made worse by climate change nsnews.com/highlights/cli…

👻 BOO! There’s something sinister lurking in your community… un-natural gas! ☠️ The Gas industry is greenwashing its product to put the “trick” in trick-or-treat this spooky season – but these #MonsterMisconceptions are far from #TheFrackingTruth. 🔗 thefrackingtruth.ca

"Climate change is and will continue to be very expensive, with costs ultimately and unfairly landing on today’s youth." Check out Squamish Cllr Lauren Greenlaw's letter in support of Sue Big Oil to make polluters pay their fair share of climate costs! squamishreporter.com/2024/10/25/why…

REVEALED: I found tax records showing that one of Canada’s top anti-climate websites is getting funding from a former fracking CEO. True North got $250k last year alone from the foundation of Gwyn Morgan. desmog.com/2024/10/28/fra… DeSmog

It’s quite concerning that with mounting evidence that gas in our homes is dangerous to our health, Vancouver council is reconsidering re-introducing gas in our homes #vanpoli Sarah Kirby-Yung 楊瑞蘭 Lenny Zhou 🇨🇦🇺🇦 Rebecca Bligh, City Councillor Lisa Dominato, City Councillor Pete Fry

Happy to share that over 150 organizations across 🇨🇦 have join the call for a Youth Climate Corps. It's time to mobilize thousands of workers to strengthen our communities and respond to the climate crisis. That starts with a YCC. Read the letter at goodgreenjobsforall.ca/openletter

The federal government’s Draft Regs to cap GHG emissions from 🇨🇦 Oil & Gas Production NEED SUPPORT & IMPROVEMENT. Use their online public consultation to tell them that before January 8, 2025! Watch this video & see our website to learn how. link.climatemessengers.ca/mKioRc

Congrats SEAN ORR and Lucy Maloney on a decisive victory! This win is a strong rebuke against Sim’s musings of bringing back a motion to introduce gas in buildings later this year. Vancouver needs strong social & climate champions, not those who capitulate to gas lobbyists.
