A recent VanSun column sparked fear over BC’s Heritage Conservation Act reforms. Let's look at the facts. The current system is broken for everyone—archaeologists, developers, & First Nations alike. The proposed changes are a pragmatic fix, not a radical NDP plot. (1/6) #BCPoli #BCHeritage #UNDRIP

Today & everyday, we recommit ourselves to condemning and taking action against violence against women, children, & 2SLGBTQIA+ people. I am so thankful for the incredible work of Paul & Raven Lacerte, & for every advocate, for raising their voices & lifting up those impacted. We must do better. 2/3

It was an amazing turnout today, great to see so many caring people sharing space, marching, drumming, dancing & singing. 🙌🏽❤️

It is #TsunamiPreparednessWeek in British Columbia - a great time to learn more about the past and prepare for the future, starting with stories and lessons passed down from those who have lived on this coast for 1000’s of years 🧪⚒️🌊 hakaimagazine.com/features/gre...

Indigenous people relieved white males remain arbiters of what constitutes racism

A great day with some amazing speakers, networking and shared learning. Thanks to @theclimatereality.bsky.social for putting on Vancouver 2025 🙌🏽❤️

I was an honour to participate in a traditional drum-making workshop this morning led by Elder Hwiemtun (Fred Roland) at the Sacred Cedar Centre - Xexe Xpay Lelum. Hwiemtun is a truly amazing Elder Facilitator for cultural & sound based activities. Gunalcheesh Hwiemtun 🙌🏽

Incredible to watch the speed one cheeto propped up by a plucky group of billionaires, who just want to make things better for everyone 🙄 moves everyone, glovally towards affordability & catostophic pandemic at the same time. 🤦🏽‍♂️

The conditions she describes are what migrants are subjected to all the time. The United States is just expanding their inhumane treatment. I think Canadians should be avoiding entering the US

Absolutely, why wait for the US on anything? 🇨🇦

This is bad, looking at the photos from Facebook the failure is in the middle of the support. This is a Poma lift, identical to the Whistler Village Gondola. If there is a design issue it could extend to Whistler. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

M4.5 #earthquake felt in Vancouver and Seattle, 16 km deep, no mechanism available yet. 🧪 More info at USGS: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

That is always an interesting alarm clock… quite a shake here in Sidney 🇨🇦 at 05:02 PT. M4.6 near Orcas Island, 45 km ENE from Victoria and 70 km from Vancouver. Felt all across southwest BC and northwest WA. Details and to report shaking: www.earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/recent/2025/...

When Mike Myers wore his "Canada Is Not For Sale" t-shirt on SNL, he mouthed a secret code: "elbows up." It's a reference to the great Gordie "Mr. Elbows" Howe who punished those that messed with his team. You heard him Canada: elbows up. If anyone asks why, tell them that Mike Myers sent you.

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 ✊🏽

The Cheeto, the blithering nonsense never seems to end with him, what about any part of this intended to help anyone?

Well it seems I have a concussion, surprising to me given my tendency to lean into adrenaline, this was a close call. Its not lost on me how close. It was while climbing up a favourite trail & I suddenly found myself flying backwards & stopping rather quickly. Be safe out there friends. I am okay 🤙🏽

Control of the media is a key pillar of a dictatorship 🤷🏽‍♂️

Work is an activity not a place… work from wherever you can!

Brilliant and bang on!

"We may look back on Munich 2025 as the moment when America made it clear they stand with tyranny and extremism over the international democratic order." - Charlie Angus

Did you feel the earth shake last night? If so the scientists would love to hear from you!

So, when you get that urge to say something snarky, it’s time to remember another three-word-phrase: “I don’t know.” “I don’t know” is a quick reminder to practice empathy, a quality that’s invaluable to relationship-building. #leadership #empathy #emotionalintelligence

This…

I was able shop today purchasing only Canadian products, though I did also select a Mexican salsa. BuyBC BuyIndigenousBC ✊🏽🇨🇦

Added a few recommendations to this list of Indigenous businesses fo support in BC, from cafes and coffee to apparel and travel

Oh my, hahaha

Buy Canadian 🇨🇦 and also consider buying as local to you as you can, I am in BC so BuyBC ✊🏽🙌🏽 is in my plan!

The things that are being taken down… holy 😬

As you head out for your weekly shopping, check against this list and replace all of these American 🇺🇸 brands with Canadian 🇨🇦 national or local brands instead. #TrueNorth #StrongAndFree #CANPoli #CDNPoli #BCPoli #VanPoli #YVR #YYJ

A reminder: Tariffs are a regressive tax that drives up prices on everyday goods. They disproportionately hurt the working class and poor who bear the brunt of higher costs while wealthier consumers feel significantly less impact.

Buy local, Canadian foods so your local producers can continue doing what they are good at, growing great food!

Buy local, support your local producers so we have local producers, plus the foods far fresher locally 😎

How does corporate greed impact emergency response? 🤦🏽‍♂️

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

Do you want to learn about the impacts of the M9 Cascadia subduction #earthquake that struck at 9 p.m. on this night, 325 years ago? Strong shaking, a tsunami and landslides as described in Indigenous oral traditions from #VancouverIsland to #California. hakaimagazine.com/features/gre... ⚒️🧪

If you share my deep concern that a fascist like Elon Musk could use the X algorithm to interfere with the upcoming Canadian election please write to Elections canada and demand a full investigation into X's interference in Canada. [email protected] www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

With the past, we are doomed to repeat what we can’t remember; the importance of civics & history class are becoming crystal clear…

Checking out an ancient fish trap in the Cowichan Bay Estuary, historically this area was also a site of significant camis gardens, these Indigenous tubers were not only tolerant of the brackish waters but also a commercial product sold to passing ships.

There’s a reason these multi-billionaires want us to believe fact-based, well-sourced reporting is dying. They actually want it dead. And they are doing their best to make it happen. 🧵
