A recent VanSun column sparked fear over BC’s Heritage Conservation Act reforms. Let's look at the facts. The current system is broken for everyone—archaeologists, developers, & First Nations alike. The proposed changes are a pragmatic fix, not a radical NDP plot. (1/6) #BCPoli #BCHeritage #UNDRIP

Today & everyday, we recommit ourselves to condemning and taking action against violence against women, children, & 2SLGBTQIA+ people. I am so thankful for the incredible work of Paul & Raven Lacerte, & for every advocate, for raising their voices & lifting up those impacted. We must do better. 2/3

When Mike Myers wore his "Canada Is Not For Sale" t-shirt on SNL, he mouthed a secret code: "elbows up." It's a reference to the great Gordie "Mr. Elbows" Howe who punished those that messed with his team. You heard him Canada: elbows up. If anyone asks why, tell them that Mike Myers sent you.

Well it seems I have a concussion, surprising to me given my tendency to lean into adrenaline, this was a close call. Its not lost on me how close. It was while climbing up a favourite trail & I suddenly found myself flying backwards & stopping rather quickly. Be safe out there friends. I am okay 🤙🏽

So, when you get that urge to say something snarky, it’s time to remember another three-word-phrase: “I don’t know.” “I don’t know” is a quick reminder to practice empathy, a quality that’s invaluable to relationship-building. #leadership #empathy #emotionalintelligence

A reminder: Tariffs are a regressive tax that drives up prices on everyday goods. They disproportionately hurt the working class and poor who bear the brunt of higher costs while wealthier consumers feel significantly less impact.

Checking out an ancient fish trap in the Cowichan Bay Estuary, historically this area was also a site of significant camis gardens, these Indigenous tubers were not only tolerant of the brackish waters but also a commercial product sold to passing ships.
