#Reform council abolishes flood committee in flood-prone area

#Lincolnshire #council has #abolished its #flooding committee on #ReformUK’s first day in charge.

That is despite Lincolnshire suffering some of the worst flooding in its history in both 2023 and 2024, with 900 homes affected, as well as further flooding in January this year.

New #SecretaryOfState #LittleMarco disses #USAID, which oversees global distro of US #famine suppressing #FoodAid, #emergency #health #relief programs in more than 100 countries of being #OutOfStep with U.S. #politics.

#DJT attack dog threatens to end federally funded foreign #ReliefAaid programs that consume 1% of #Federal budget, stating the "agency may be #abolished consistent with applicable law".

This aligns with #billionaire bro #MelonHusk rants who has vowed in a series of #SocialMedia screeds to destroy USAID, calling it a “criminal organization.”

"In April 2022, the Special Committee on Reforming the Police Act released its report. Among its 11 recommendations were replacing the RCMP with a provincial police force, adopting a new approach to mental health calls and giving First Nations self-determination over policing in their communities.

The goal was to modernize the Police Act and bring it in line with the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act."

Not only did they not do anything at all on overdue & necessary #PoliceReform but the Horgan/Eby #BCNDP has spent more funds on sending cops to silence #citizens #dissent & arrest/kidnap/illegally detain Indigenous land defenders/water protectors on their own unceded lands, than any other BC government prior.

Let's not forget that #BCRCMP #CIRG unit was created in 2017, under Horganized #CrimesAgainstHumanity regime, as #CorporateMercenaries to protect ecocidal industry capital. The bill for CIRG services should be paid by the private ecocide industry they're protecting - not be put on backs of #BCTaxpayers. CIRG doesn’t protect citizens at all. It should be #abolished but this current #neoliberal greedy government isn't going to follow the moral & ethical route to do that.

Please do not ever forget us.
We fought for you & for our #Oldgrowth #forests & #environment. We are still fighting! I was first arrested at #Clayoquot Sound. It was my very first #environmental #blockade. I have been arrested multiple times since. I refuse to stop fighting for #MotherEarth.

This is a lifelong commitment for many of us longtime activists.

Decades later Clayoquot, after Squamish violent standoffs & after the fight for #Walbran #Carmannah ancient forests; I was at Fairy Creek:

The #RCMP #StateViolence was increased on us at FC, because RCMP #CIRG was only created in 2017. After multilple huge #Indigenous stand-offs against govt assisted ecocide on unceded native lands for over 3 decades in #BritishColumbia. #RCMPCIRG is a voluntary #CorporateMercenaries unit, funded by public #Canadian taxpayers' monies & it should be #ABOLISHED.
