We’ve been hearing a lot of conflicting information lately when it comes to the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA), Aboriginal title, the role of the Courts in B.C., and private property rights. Let’s take a moment to refresh our understanding. raventrust.com/articles/wha...

“The purpose of climate conferences was to slow the rise of CO2 and ideally reverse it. “Yet despite all the pledges, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is still climbing. Looking at the political response, I would sum it up like this: too little, too slow, too late.” davidsuzuki.org/story/german...

At the UN climate talks, we kept quiet on a long-promised law to help end the UK’s role in illegal forest destruction. I’ve emailed the Environment Secretary to demand urgent action to protect our forests. Will you join me? @friends-earth.bsky.social action.friendsoftheearth.uk/target/deman...

Jane Goodall should be remembered as a scientist and an agent of change. Let’s hope that 2026 brings more compassionate voices like hers to collapse harmful systems and bring about a gentler, healthier world — for humans and all our animal relatives. davidsuzuki.org/story/jane-g...

Before we all get caught up in the season's festivities, let's remember the things that are important with the help of this heartfelt Christmas Song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nSn...

Santa plays a practical joke on the elves and they are so relieved when they realise they’ve been tricked!🦌🎄🎅🧝‍♂️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9JI...

“A festive treat, with no sign of the excess and fluff that corners everything else. Fun, imaginative, a desire for entertaining, a sharp eye to explore beyond the map of expectancy; this is a true Christmas gift and it is a hit.” Liverpool Sound and Vision www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbQd...

"The album has a real tongue in cheek sense of humour about it, while still embodying the core values of the holidays. And it’s definitely NOT your typical Christmas album.” Roots Music Canada www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWFw...

From the progressive rock harmonies of the opener Festive Prelude/The Light Will Return ... the dozen tunes will be welcome at gatherings where everyone might be ready to roast every version of Jingle Bell Rock alongside the chestnuts on the open fire. Vancouver Sun www.youtube.com/watch?v=IW5S...

Brooding skies over River Land as nightfall comes crashing down.

Santa’s Sleigh Shanty is a song in the style of a sea shanty as might be sung by Santa, Mrs. Claus and the elves as they load the sleigh in readiness for Christmas Eve. It's one of 12 gems available now for your favourite streaming platform!

Here's the latest and greatest news from me and Big City Productions. timreadman.com/dec-news-2025/

Black Umfolosi International live at the Rogue Folk Club. What a joyous night we all had!

Here’s your Black Friday challenge: Instead of buying what you don’t need, give a special gift to your favourite charity. As a reward you can listen to this - the best song ever about the subject! www.youtube.com/watch?v=neJo...

A U.S. study referenced by Guardian writer George Monbiot shows that the very rich consider budget deficits to be the top issue, with climate action at the bottom of the list. davidsuzuki.org/story/its-ti...

Electrotech, not fossil fuels, will power the future Ihttps://community.davidsuzuki.org/index.php/email/emailWebview?email=MTg4LVZEVS0zNjAAAAGeRtX9dNqfIthRuBk8t8wFvpt4HGxal7OoQJLDd-lbvQceeEBU0RdKxh-mTMDhSiiQWBcNUJaOe-P6rvxtNTfCJQjmCkC94wXYCA

Highly recommended movie! Born to pioneering parents, Judi Singh was a fixture in the Edmonton jazz scene from the 1950s to 70s yet her legacy is largely forgotten. Vancouver filmmaker Baljit Sangra shines a spotlight on this unsung artist's life and musical journey. www.knowledge.ca/program/have...

60. She once cheekily told an interviewer that Canada's national anthem was the song "Canada's Really Big" by the Arrogant Worms. www.cbc.ca/books/86-sur...

My old pals The Young Bucks are celbrating 50 years since their formation. If you are in the Newcastle upon Tyne area, do yourself a favour and go to their Xmas party. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdPI...

VIFF Live on Sunday was another excellent pairing of live music for starters and a movie to follow. Dawn Pemberton and her stellar band got things cooking and Amazing Grace starring Aretha Franklin blew what was left of the roof clean off the building.

Get in!!!!!!!

This is an emergency. The government’s budget has many flaws, but its strengths include the industrial carbon price. It may be just one way to reduce emissions, but it’s the biggest lever government has. davidsuzuki.org/story/canada...

Did you know there is an approved $162 million budget for an expansion of the Malahat highway INTO Goldstream river (SELE₭TEȽ) right at the provincial park? This expansion doesn’t add another lane for traffic and will destroy salmon habitat. nwmd.social/s/email/5wOA...

I saw this one at the Vancouver International Film Festival and I'd recommend it 100%. If you can - go and see it! viff.org/whats-on/kol...
