Happy Mother’s Day everyone! It also falls on the 25th anniversary of the Nisga’a Nation “Final Agreement”. My visit to the Nisga’a territory of the Nass River Valley 15 years ago highlites the 10th anniversary of that treaty. I’ll never forget their welcoming kindness. globalnews.ca/news/1117457...

Thank you to everyone who sponsored me in the Rotary Hoopathon, and to all of the volunteers and organizers! I didn’t hit my PB of last year, but still drained 16 for a total of $5760.00 for scholarships & bursaries. Like I always say to Will… we learn from the misses not the makes. Thanks everyone!

Let’s see how many free throws I can hit in a minute to raise money for scholarships. Sponsor me at the link if you can! Thank you so much. Scroll down until you see my name. I’ll post results on Saturday. (Hit 24 last year!) go.rallyup.com/vancouversun...

Hoopathon time again! On Saturday April 12th, I’ll sink as many free throws in 1 minute as I can to raise money for scholarships and bursaries for student athletes. I hit 24 last year! Hit the link to sponsor me if you can. Thank you! go.rallyup.com/vancouversun...

This “buy local” push is tricky and complicated! An example: French's brand of condiments. Its *ketchup* is blended, bottled and packaged in London, Ontario by Canadian workers using Canadian tomatoes… which of course is beneficial to the Canadian economy and the workers who manufacture it. 1/3

I don't know what happened in that locker room and none of us really do, but I can't believe the J.T. Miller trade is the cure for all that ails the Canucks. globalnews.ca/news/1099241...

Very concerning health news confirms the dangers of misinformation. Measles outbreaks in Canada and a Tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas City.. both diseases easily preventable with effective, safe vaccines. Like, WTF? globalnews.ca/news/1098942... globalnews.ca/news/1098878...

I like this from Dan Rather, and the quote from writer Rebecca Solnit contained therein. We have no choice but to persevere.

The utter silence from the mob that once screamed the election is rigged...

People have feelings about Air Canada's new "revised" basic fare & the requirement to check and pay for carry-on luggage to North American and sun destinations. Lately, I've been ASTOUNDED by the size and number of "carry-ons" jammed into storage bins. The new policy seems like a response to that..

I'm probably going to exist in both worlds for a while at least, but happy to see everyone over here! Why stay on that wretched, seething pile of hate, misinformation and disharmony you may ask? A wise person once said "You have to feel the cold sometimes to appreciate the warmth."
