Wonderful to hear that all 3 dates in the #ComoxValley have sold out for Chef Izzeldin's visit. thediscourse.ca/comox-valley...

Notes from Paris where nighttime temps barely dip below 30C. Is this the year we finally take climate chaos seriously? substack.com/home/post/p-...

what the heck is going on in Burnaby?

Check out what's happening to life expectancy in the #ComoxValley ! Is it our active lifestyle? What's going on here? from @thetyee.ca

@davidebybc.bsky.social off to China to make sure Kitimat residents never stop suffering from LNG emissions.

This image is actually hopeful

Ooh, what if we recognized trees as having rights? I'm sure developers are quaking at the idea... www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I echo your sentiments. As a resident of K'omoks territory, this just reeks of rage baiting.

“If cities can move quickly for FIFA, they should be able to move quickly and fairly for their residents too.”

June 23! No lawn watering is permitted at any time. Residents are also prohibited from pressure washing driveways and boulevards; filling a swimming pool, hot tub or garden pond; or washing a vehicle or boat at home. #comoxvalley www.comoxvalleyrd.ca/connect/news...

Happy for the Pacheedaht to finally regain access to their traditional food sources. todayinbc.com/2026/06/13/b...

We know Kitimat Council refused to look into the health impacts of #LNG. How will the public fare if we ask the #BCNDP to do so? #bcpoli #bcgreens #CAPE cape.ca/action/study-bc-lng-health-impacts/?source=facebook

Very unfortunate that these two municipalities are refusing to come to the table. thetyee.ca/News/2026/06...

Resilient, self-reliant food systems should promote “more diverse, just, and locally rooted agroecological food systems that reduce dependence on fossil fuels and external inputs, and support smaller-scale producers and local and territorial markets www.resilience.org/stories/2026...

Bought and paid for...

She's still the Minister, looks like to David Eby this is acceptable.

Wow, talk about a Council putting your head in the sand. Nothing to see here... www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Round-up Ready corn, soy, canola and sugar beet are mainstays if the industrial ag system in Canada. What has it cost us? #foodsecurity #soilhealth www.canadianaffairs.news/2026/06/03/d...

Beaten. Tasered. Raped. And that's what happened to humanitarian aid workers. Imagine what Palestinians are going through. thetyee.ca/News/2026/06...

As of June, one quarter of the board overseeing the $800bn Canada Pension Plan are also directors or executives of fossil fuel companies. Tell the federal government that Canadians need climate experts, not fossil fuel interests, overseeing the CPP win.newmode.net/shiftaction/... #cdnpoli #pensions

Why are all of these people involved in this fiasco still working? They should be summarily fired and Minister Beare removed as Education Minister #bcpoli #Victoriabc thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...

“Residents in Courtenay, Comox and the K’ómoks First Nation are being asked to not flush or use any water that drains into the sewage system while work is underway to repair a sewage leak.” cheknews.ca/unexpectedly... - @cheknews.ca #Comox #ComoxValley #Courtenay #KomoksFirstNation

Thank you to Canada Press for reporting on this important issue. Cuts to Agriculture Canada and CFIA threaten food safety, public research, exports, and farmers across Canada. Public agricultural science and trusted inspection systems are essential to food security and public health. #cdnpoli

I'll be on CBC Radio's On the Island with @gregorcraigie.bsky.social on Monday morning at 7:10 (yes, am!) to discuss. Tune in!

1/ It’s a relief to hear the Prime Minister express some moral outrage over Ben-Gvir’s brutish behaviour, outrage which has been missing during Israel’s attack on Iran, bombardment of Lebanon and ongoing genocide in Gaza.

There’s no plan. That’s the answer I got from WLRS staff on what's going to happen with a drought + a super El-Nino. Literally, they haven’t even met to formulate a plan.Pinks have already had to be rescued from the Tsolum earlier this month. What has become apparent is that we’re on our own.

I live and farm on the Tsolum River in the Comox Valley. We have hit unprecedented low levels of flow. I'm sitting in a meeting with BC Ministry of Water staff and not data has been entered into the Provincial Drought Portal. Staff haven't even met yet to discus drought!!! WTAF?! #bcpoli

Holy cr$p!! Did you know Kars4Kids raised funds for zionist groups?!! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Here we go folks. Get this recall petition in front of all of your friends who live in Vancouver-Quilchena. #bcpoli

CVRD News: Complete Fire Ban Remains in Place for the Comox Valley 🔥 The Comox Valley fire departments will remain having a complete fire ban in place over the May long weekend. More info: www.comoxvalleyrd.ca/fire Full news release: https://ow.ly/LLj050YZf0T

This panel of journalists will discuss the rise of digital disinformation and how to respond at The Tyee’s Reality Check LIVE event on May 21. We’re looking forward to a fun night out with our friends and supporters! thetyee.ca/Tyeenews/202...

Thanks to @megvera.bsky.social for highlighting the uproar that Universal Ostrich is causing in the #ComoxValley with their intention to move production here. Farmers are furious! #foodsecurity #bcpoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/05...

I spoke to the Trudeau-era environment minister who resigned from cabinet under Carney. Steven Guilbeault has a warning about Carney’s latest environment-trampling proposals — ones he agrees would be worse than Harper’s. Here’s the latest on the plan that would “eviscerate” environmental laws:

That's crazy!

Anyone else been hit hard by allergies this year? It's been an epic tree pollen spring. I'm scared what grass season's going to bring. www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

Mark "Iron Lady" Carney.

A remarkable sight in Canada. The street is lined with cars. Not trucks and SUVs, but cars. It's like being transported back to the 90s, to not be walking beside a wall of RAV4s and Ram 2500s.

Response from K'omoks First Nation to Tara Armstrong's tirade in the Leg. "You seem to need to invoke the worst atrocities of the 20th century to drive your point home." #bcpoli #UNDRIP #DRIPA komoks.ca/press-releas...

I've never heard of salmon rescue so early in the season. This is bad. 😫

The future is agrarian!

So MLA Valeriote asked the BC NDP: If you’re not going to implement the Public Interest Bonding Strategy, how will you make sure heavy industry cleans up the mess, instead of leaving taxpayers holding the bag? See the Minister's answer here: youtu.be/tLfu9KHtcww?...

We may be on a show that aired on Netflix that has kind of blown up on that platform. Pretty amazing to see so many local farms in the Comox Valley getting so much love on "This is A Gardening Show". PS. I'm apparently the "Root Veg" expert. www.youtube.com/watch?v=32kQ...

Publicly-owned farmland is not new but I really hope the powers that be pay attention. Lots of models of how this could work. Municipally-owned farmland is my favourite. City of Richmond already does this well. #bcpoli #bcgreens thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...

I very much take issue with Mo Sihota on CBC Early Edition this morning characterizing calls to maintain DRIPA "extremist." The rights set out in UNDRIP (DRIPA) are minimum human rights standards. In no other context would it be acceptable to repeal human rights. Cc: @cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social

Mike drop!🎤

How not to do anything in local government 101: *hire a consultant from away who recycles boilerplate crap *have zero input from elected officials on your draft before going public *have a garbage comms plans, or maybe none *do it all 6 months before local elections cheknews.ca/cvrd-postpon...

“Frustration is running high on Penelakut and Thetis Islands this long weekend, where the communities have been without BC Ferries service for three days.” cheknews.ca/frustrations... - @cheknews.ca #BCFerries #FirstNations #PenelakutIsland #ThetisIsland cc: #Chemainus #VancouverIsland

It’s a global resource in a global economy. Do these people really think Canadian O&G will accept a price below the global benchmark just to be nice? 🤦
