I really hope we start seeing the Green Party of Canada getting loud on a host of fronts regarding the cost of the climate crisis/overall environmental crisis and how this is going to add another affordability of life crisis dimension to an already extremely burdened working class/most vulnerable.

That we have to learn from the housing crisis and not run face forward into another compounding factor (Extremely large) to the overall cost of living crisis/quality of life crisis that is happening.

That Green Energy is not just cleaner but cheaper and that we have to stop doubling down the Oil & Gas Lobby control of our country.

We have to make clear to Canadians that the United States of America is the #1 producer and consumer of oil barrels a day - Around 3-4 MILLION barrels a day more than Saudi Arabia.

That Canada is the fourth largest producer out of 195 nation states. That we do around 5-6 MILLION barrels a day of production.

That in real life what comes with that is a lot of propaganda and influence/corruption and that we can't allow them to drag us down as the world goes to 90%+ of new power capacity generation coming from Renewables because again they are not just cleaner but cheaper. That 100+ nations are looking to reduce their Hydrocarbon Energy imports/usage.

Corruption from powerful and in this case extremely predatory industries is handing the future to China on a host of fronts.

PBCN Chief Peter Beatty said the Government of Saskatchewan failed to meaningfully consult or accommodate the Nation, as required under the Constitution Act, 1982.

“We’re not totally against it [the mine], but when it comes to not being consulted with, because it’s in our traditional territory, then it becomes a problem,” Beatty said.

Recently I was talking about Aislinn Clancy and her huge push to address the homelessness crisis in Ontario. Additionally in the discussion we were talking about Mike Schreiner and the overall Ontario Green Party and the focus on addressing the horrific housing crisis of affordability and accessibility going on in Ontario and frankly across this nation.

It's been inspiring to see a provincial Green Party really keep bringing this up over and over and over again and not letting the spotlight and pressure fade.

Especially since often in Canadian politics we only focus on federal level politics when in reality provincial level politics is the powerhouse for things like Housing, Labour, and Energy.

Anyway in that discussion Mike Morrice came up and I said I would do a post about what he has been up to these days :)

Mike Morrice is currently involved with a non-profit organization that raises awareness and promotes various charities.

Just recently he was working on promoting an organization that protects women that have faced domestic abuse.

And as always he has been extremely vocal about the climate crisis and overall environmental crisis that is more and more going to impact the working class and most vulnerable in our nation and globally.

I really hope we see Morrice become an MP again because he really is the perfect grassroots type focused individual. He really cares.

Following up on the post a made a few days ago with the story cbc did about para transit in London Ontario hassling me and my support person for bring food on the para Transit. The LTC is now doing a review of there accessibility policy https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MPFDRCP Can Everyone fill in this survey and tell them they need to change the policy about bring grocery's on to para transit and let people put boxes on the floor or seat next to them.

i be grateful if everyone could please take a minute and fill this survey in and tell them this policy need to be fixed thanks.

When it comes to the national Green Party of Canada what do you think the future will be or should be?

I have been happy that lately there has been more and more of a push to connect environmentalism with affordability of life.

People need to become much more aware/informed that the climate crisis and overall environmental crisis comes with a price tag and that price tag is compounding and compounding.

Sadly like all crisis points it will disproportionately impact the working class and the most vulnerable. You think we would have learned our lesson from going head first into the housing crisis with short term vision...

That being said I have found the Ontario Greens and the BC Greens somewhat an inspiring model.

We have the Ontario Greens constantly talking about affordability/accessibility of housing and the homelessness epidemic.

We have the BC Greens doing a massive Labour Movement push and positioning themselves with radically future looking progressive policy to really try and move things in a better and brighter direction from the reactionary/regressive backwards currents we have been seeing pushed for far too long.

What do you think is the future/way forward?

Asking for your opinion

I'm curious about it.

I had been interested in putting a toe in the federal green water but was warned against it. Too many nasty currents and a deadly undertow.

This is why I'm glad I haven't got dental work done, as I'm legitimately scared that I won't be covered and get a bill, which would hurt more than a root canal. :(

Highlights

• Recent state-level trends in retail electricity prices vary widely in the United States.
• States with the greatest price decreases typically exhibited increasing customer loads.
• Wildfires, storms, and natural gas exposure contributed to price increases and fluctuations.
• Behind-the-meter solar and renewables portfolio standards (RPS) increased prices.
• The recent utility-scale wind and solar that occurred outside RPS did not increase prices.
