Not a good look for someone running in an area that has been all but fished out entirely. When I hear people talk about their "marine assets", it's rich people's docks. Our real marine asset is a healthy and functioning marine ecosystem. thetyee.ca/News/2025/03...

I was working in Gibsons during the quake and we were hearing them all morning! We got to site at 8 and heard 3-4 deep, extended rumbles (kinda like a fighter jet) until finally the rumble was accompanied by a shake. Pretty surreal when you are kneeling on the forest floor and it starts to move.

It’s truly mind boggling to think that when people are faced with censorship under a hate speech law, instead of open reflection on how their material may be harmful to a particular group, it’s dismissed with a wave. Do they have no moments of self-reflection? How can they just sit with that?
