🧵Climate disasters are becoming more frequent and severe. What does that mean for people in BC?

.@vb_jens and I looked at the data and learned that people in BC are being evacuated for an average of 22 days.

Our safety net is not expanding accordingly

Happy 20th Birthday @TheTyee ! 🎂 Hoping tonight's debate outcome is a vote for independent media to keep leaping forward.

The Tyee @TheTyee Nov 30, 2023

Tonight we celebrate these heroes and milestones at our 20th birthday — with a party and a raucous debate about whether journalism is a dead fish or alive and leaping forward. 🎣

There are still a few tickets left and everyone is invited. See you there!
