James Hansen @jhansen.bsky.social · 17/08/2026You could probably look up the title of my MA thesis, U Vic History, from back in the day. 010
James Hansen @jhansen.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I work very hard to bring dad jokes to Vancouver Island. 111

James Hansen @jhansen.bsky.social · 11/08/2026If the future of Canada depends on the world discovering Coffee Crisp, I think we are going to be ok. 0171
James Hansen @jhansen.bsky.social · 19/07/2026I wonder if there is a correlation between having an active betting account and party preference. 101
James Hansen @jhansen.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Historically, it is also likely that Hans Scholl was pulling for Max Schmelling. 100
James Hansen @jhansen.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Im sure you realize that after Trump’s call to FIFA, most of the world outside of one country is cheering for Belgium. 200

That is, love for the natural world, all of humanity, and advancing coexistence based on true justice, rights, and respect. 🌍 1654336709
James Hansen @jhansen.bsky.social · 23/06/2026CFL and what we call football in Canada is a notable Canadian thing. Respect Canadian things from Canadian history. And watching Association football is also great. 010
James Hansen @jhansen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026At some point, there must have been a movement to adjourn. 1160

James Hansen @jhansen.bsky.social · 14/05/2026There are many of us up north who would be pretty stoked if, when O’Leary says “us”, he no longer means us. 000
James Hansen @jhansen.bsky.social · 14/05/2026I realize that this next point could seem a bit tangential, but one thing The Count has going for it that neither Les Misérables nor War and Peace have is a very tasty accompanying sandwich. So, obviously, seminar. 110
James Hansen @jhansen.bsky.social · 12/05/2026That sounds about right. A few years ago, a community in here in British Columbia wanted to change from chlorine to ozone and ultraviolet water treatment, but the problem was that, once it left the treatment plant, the water would easily be re-contaminated. 120
James Hansen @jhansen.bsky.social · 12/05/2026I have heard it said that chlorine, for all its issues, has saved more human lives than almost anything else. 120
James Hansen @jhansen.bsky.social · 06/05/2026The US is on the edge of losing it’s democracy, but Squeek King gets to wrap themselves in the warmth of their smug self righteousness as they watch the world burn. 100
James Hansen @jhansen.bsky.social · 29/04/2026If there were an edit button, I would delete “even”. Stupid autocorrect!! 010
James Hansen @jhansen.bsky.social · 29/04/2026Makes sense. We called her Queen even Elizabeth II of Canada, but there was no Canada in 1603, so maybe we should have done the same. 110
James Hansen @jhansen.bsky.social · 29/04/2026But she wouldn’t have been called Elizabeth II in Scotland - right? 210
James Hansen @jhansen.bsky.social · 29/04/2026So how does this work for Queen Elizabeth Windsor and her Scottish title? 110
