Haven't had celery in a while. It's mostly U.S. grown. Catch of the day on Galiano Island in southwest B.C. Woot!

Province of Alberta unveils its insurance scheme and the Calgary Herald misses the point entirely and reports stuff we already knew. They do add some new details, but don't flag them for readers. #ableg #abnews

Warm May day in Victoria. That summer feeling only slightly tempered by a cool, salty onshore breeze.

Alberta's Care First auto insurance system will require a brand new bureaucracy. Tribunals will have to bet set up, cronies hired, appeals processes discussed (and likely discarded). It's really tough to find where this is addressed.

The water in Victoria's inner harbour isn't pristine, but you can see bottom at low tide. Today it's opaque brown. Is it from the Belleville Terminal Redevelopment Project? #yuck

Hullo ferry in the Victoria boatyard Nov. 17. Why so pointy? Do they want to skewer whales? vancouversun.com/news/hullo-f...

Here's the B.C. Legislature building on March 12. Let's push other western provinces to follow suit with a similar statement-sized Maple Leaf flag. #ableg #skpoli #mbpoli

Here's a Facebook memory. But Facebook censors it because the American giant won't pay Canadian content providers. They just shut them down. And get people to blame the federal government.
