Canada has some of the most evil mining corporations in the world that plunder resources internationally so this is actually a perfect fit globalnews.ca/news/1190912...

The world's first trillionaire did this

The Pacific Salmon Foundation says the weather and low snowpack is leading to what could be a difficult summer for salmon in Vancouver Island rivers and streams. https://cheknews.ca/officials-call-for-help-in-protecting-fish-in-vancouver-island-rivers-and-streams-1330138/

We never got world peace, but at least we got the world’s first trillionaire.

Feels like it's been the proliferation of hyper individualism.

Absolutely wild

I saw a deepfake video targeting Courtenay councillors. It was disturbing. As municipal elections get closer, I worry this kind of AI-generated misinformation will become more common. CAD Gov needs to move to protect citizens and local democracy from deepfakes. www.elections.ca/content.aspx...

Carney has announced a new AI strategy to ramp up adoption of the tech-bro-touted technology in a way that he says “serves all Canadians.” But BIG questions are lingering about how this aggressive ramp up will play out in a world where data centres guzzle water and destroy the environment:

Local legend thediscourse.ca/comox-valley...

"Provide access to trusted AI agents for every post-secondary student – from the arts and commerce to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and medicine." I'm pretty sure that nobody who teaches in a post-secondary institution asked for this, and this makes their jobs even harder.

"The 4-metre-wide drone was used to carry heavy equipment back to base after a rescue and will be used to carry gear (~30kgs) to the scene soon." www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfSj...

"as the cost of generating and storing clean energy keeps getting cheaper just as the cost of relying on fossil fuel imports is skyrocketing higher. In time, that will do more to threaten the profitability of the oil and gas industry — and eventually, if it doesn’t react, its viability."

"If the deal goes ahead, US surveillance activities covered by the agreement would no longer require oversight from Canadian authorities or judges, thus relinquishing a core element of Canada’s sovereignty under international law."

Absolutely the fuck not.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

I think this was a bad idea to bring FIFA to Canada. I like soccer but the accessible local youth kind of soccer. Not the racketeering, money laundering, bribery type of soccer that only rich people can afford. Bad for Vancouver, bad for BC, bad for Canada.

It’s been wild watching CEOs go mask off, showing pure contempt for workers they think AI will replace. While AI gains are real, many layoffs happened without proof it can actually do the job. I expect some companies will eventually swing back to realizing people matter.

"Just one more LNG project bro. I swear bro just one more terminal. Please bro."

Wild how mad people can get over a commuter bridge. The FB comments on the project are unhinged. These people would kick a puppy if it spoke of a bridge that benefitted active transportation. People can't see beyond their narrow point of view and think about others and the future of the community.

Perhaps the fact that we are conducting an unprecedented experiment with the only home we have, by digging up and burning massive amounts of fossil fuels that is driving global change at rates 10X faster than the most recent warming of this magnitude that occurred oh about 55 million years ago? 🧐

The Pope is the world leader who has shown the clearest & deepest thinking about the impact of AI. He likens AI to the Industrial Revolution which replaced factory workers with machines and argues its impact is too significant to be governed only by AI labs, investors, and big tech companies.

This is evil collective punishment.

I understand why oil and gas companies want to trick us into a race to the bottom, one where taxes and regulations are stripped away so they can return more cash to (mostly foreign) shareholders. I don't understand why some pundits are so willing to go along with it.

Hantavirus, Ebola - a broken Center for Disease Control. Trump and RFK Jr in charge and a guy who ran a podcast called the Erection Connection. They are your front line of defence. We are playing Russian roulette with super-spreaders. My latest: charlieangus.substack.com/p/warning-shot

Nor why would anyone want to? This is the best planet, let’s take care of it!!

🐝 Happy World Bee Day! 🐝 Today, we recognize the vital role bees and other pollinators play in supporting healthy ecosystems, biodiversity, and our food supply. Last year, Comox was declared a #beecity by Bee City Canada. To learn more about the Town's Bee City designation, visit comox.ca/beecity

For most of my life I've had to fight people on the science behind climate change. Now, as the economics of the energy transition kick into higher gear, we don't have to do that any more. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/20/o...

Oh, buddy. This isn't it. The job is to build a better society -- more prosperous, more equitable, and more just. The job is not "reflexively oppose taxes."

The Puntledge River is currently at late summer levels, driven by a low winter snowpack and a resulting lack of water throughout the watershed. comoxvalleyrecord.com/2026/05/15/p...

“Many readers were astonished to learn that the single biggest direct human use of Colorado River water was growing food for cows. In an era of mandatory water restrictions, shorter showers and more efficient washing machines…”

I really needed @maxfawcett.bsky.social to put this out today. Thankfully, he did. Highly recommend for the clarity and perspective it offers.

The only song that can adequately explain the Carney government is, appropriately, Canadian. And turns 30 this year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW5q...

PM Carney has effectively eliminated any semblance of a credible climate plan, one that protects us, species at risk, water, food, our environment, the safety of the foods we eat, mining activities - everything PM Trudeau tried to establish to protect us and future generations.

Blows my mind the outrage people have towards bike lanes.
