Simone @simonele.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Did you know we have puffins in the Salish Sea? A small number of Tufted Puffins (Fratercula cirrhata) breed on Smith Island just over the U.S. border from Victoria. I got to see this fancy friend a couple weeks ago! #birding 001

Simone @simonele.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Interested to see how this progresses. I have high hopes for commuter rail but the process has stalled so many times getting mired in feasibility studies that it has just become more complex to build.

Reposted by SimoneBlayne Haggart @bhaggart.bsky.social · 15/09/2026It’s a bit odd to talk about potential costs when in reality nobody has *any* idea what Carney actually has in mind, I can’t remember a single time in the past 50 years where one man was given such latitude to determine Canada’s future in the absence of *any* public debate or discussion.thestar.comThere are costs for Mark Carney’s closer ties with EuropeThere could be a political cost in addition to the financial price tag for Canada’s proposed “unique alliance” with the European Union. 2225598

Reposted by SimoneScam Ghouldin @scamgoldin.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Maybe I’m a contrarian or a Luddite, but I kind of pride myself on the fact I don’t use any AI in my production workflow. There’s a whole industry of tools that *technically* make it easier, but personally I feel the end result is better when you’re hands on from start to finish. 4595
