Happy Valentine’s Day all! Thank you to our small village who has made what has become our annual “love getaway” to celebrate our anniversary possible. We are enjoying adult only time at the cabin and being grateful for our last 20 years married (23 together). Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Grateful that today Canada 🇨🇦 showed that we truly are made of a different fabric than the 🇺🇸 and that care, compassion, unity and grace are the basics that weave us together. #lovetoTumblerRidge #northernerssticktogether #leadwithgrace

#TumblerRidge Love and deepest condolences to all of the families. Abel Mwansa, 12. Ezekiel Schofield, 13. Kylie Smith, 12. Zoey Benoit, 12. Ticaria Lampert, 12. Shannda Aviugana-Durand, 39. Emmett Jacobs: 11. Jennifer Jacobs, 39.

Happy 20th hubby.

My heart goes out to Tumbler Ridge families. This brings back horrible memories of our active shooting incident a few years back and our special needs child eloping from school and missing directly before. Worst couple hours of my life until he was located safe. Daughter and I were in the lockdown.

@michaelgarrett.bsky.social has an excellent summation post regarding Bad Bunny’s #SuperBowl #halftime show. While he has an account here he is not using it of late. More leaders need to lead loudly like this! #americas #loveisgreaterthanhate

Today I took part in a class led by the very talented Gladys Michell at Quilter’s Corner. Thanks to Hilary for the invitation to join her today. I am so pleased with how this turned out and enjoyed Gladys’ teachings and stories of the matriarchs in her life throughout the afternoon. Mussi cho! ❤️🧵

Last night when we went to bed, Danny started snoring like a sawmill as soon as his head hit the pillow. I decided to get up and organize this month’s UFO project. I might have stayed up until after 230 am and I might have spent the day today sewing in my PJs. Where I started and where I am.. #quilt

This quilt turned out really pretty. Perfect size to drape the couch for now. This was a #brownbagmystery quilt from 2022 I think. It was my month 1 ufo for the challenge put out by my lqs. #imadeit literally and figuratively!

There is an old word to describe going to a foreign power and asking for their assistance in breaking up a sovereign country — it’s treason. Canadians are standing together in defence of this beautiful land. 🇨🇦

WOW!! What a hauntingly beautiful summation of the tragedies happening in the 🇺🇸. The delivery by someone so young (I read 20) is just the unspeakable icing. This need to become an anthem of the moment and boosted EVERYWHERE. #noice #usa #canadasky youtu.be/pkbYWJ3wAOU?...

Keeping my hands busy to prevent doomscrolling. The day has been so insanely heavy. Hand binding this quilt is literally saving my mental health. #quiltsky #canadasky #modernquilting #mentalhealth

Another two Emergency Management courses completed!! 94 and 96% respectively. Just two more to go and then my final capstone. Hoping to have the program completed in advance of response season! Now to prep to teach new recruits Level 1 ESS Responses next weekend.

A man in Minneapolis was murdered today for helping a woman up off the ground that ICE assaulted. They were no where near anything. They were zero threat. Just standing out of the way filming. Let that set in. Humanity got him shot. video from “red jacket lady” shows it all. Hope she is safe.

My province in lockstep with my nation. ❤️🇨🇦❤️

We are done. Zero fs to give at this point. Even China human rights concerns are diminished vs the USA because simply stated, the USA is far worse currently. We actually should turn off the taps for oil, water, electricity, stop lumber and potash. There is zero hope for a new CUSMA. #🇨🇦thrives

I've covered a lot of protests and resistance movements of various kinds in my days on this earth -- I've never seen anything quite like this epic day in Minneapolis today. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/u...

I have no idea how this has happened, but I am now a finalist. I have often thought I am largely unseen and unconnected to this community, even after over 20 years. I need to re-evaluate those internal thoughts. THANK YOU!! Hubby and I will be getting fancied up for the gala dinner.

The contrast between Trump 🇺🇸 rambling, bumbling speech and Carney’s 🇨🇦 rousing speech is nothing short of mind blowing 🤯. So glad to be 🇨🇦!

❤️🇨🇦❤️ This is the leader for the moment, regardless if you are 100% in support of his politics. This speech will be referenced as a turning point for generations to come. My grandkids will learn it in school. More than a break up notice to the USA, it is a proud, standing tall, love letter to Canada

Crazy beautiful morning!!! #aurora#beautifulbc #canadasky #northernlife

House Dems are having hearing today in Twin Cities on all these atrocities. @indivisible.org @indivisiblechicago.bsky.social @bkindivisible.bsky.social @indivisible-oregon.bsky.social @mi-swim.bsky.social @indivisiblelasvegas.org @indivisiblecentnj.bsky.social

Looking at my FB memories from 5 yrs ago. This sadly did not age well. #fucktrump #gethimout #uspoli #canpoli #impeach #whateverittakesDOIT

Here to catch up. Looks like it has “been a day” in the news with more to come. Trying to sift through to determine what is true & what is AI. So..we are all off to Greenland to defend war, Qatar being evac’d = Iran war, Trump was in a “milk coma”, and the FU “Ford worker” is $$$? Fill a 🇨🇦 in please

Wesley’s spirit was a part of what got so many of us through Covid. He gave selflessly day after day after day. His legacy will be remembered and his loss felt immensely. May all those he drummed to the creator be receiving him warmly. 💔

“Canada has proven ourselves. We didn’t obey in advance. We said “no Trump fuck you”. We love Americans but until you step up and stop him we have to punish all of you economically. Please no more apologies- prove you are sorry with action!” 🇨🇦 youtu.be/sZpjg5ZzHRM?si…#USpolil#Canadaskyk#Canadada

Here’s a simple checklist for what’s still in YOUR hands, Canada.

Ugh. I never can pick a profile pic and this time it is for some sort of promo too for a potential award I have been nominated for. Glasses darken quickly outside on this -20c am. Any thoughts on which I should use from non biased folks?

People are pissed by the 🇨🇦 govt response Trumps actions to Venezuela. Saying we have not come out hard, name the US and call out all the things. Stop and think for a millisecond…this is a VERY delicate time for us. We CAN be next, today proved we are but one tantrum from annexation. Cool your jets!

So Venezuela is now effectively the 51st state according to Trump? “we are gonna run it until a transition we like takes place”. War crimes. Kidnapping. Murder. no US soldiers died, I am betting casualties to Venezuelan citizens will be high. When do the American citizens remove this crack head?

Good morning. You are waking up to the irony of a convicted felon president, who spent years avoiding his own criminal trials, capturing the president of a sovereign nation and holding him captive for criminal trials.

I knew on Jan 1 2025 this video in the wee hours of the New Year would be my #videooftheyear and today Jan 1 2026, that holds true. The skies are incredibly magical if you take the time to watch them. Worth the #reshare #aurora #northernlights #beautifulbc #ColorADay #lakelife #cabinlife #canadasky

I was notified that I was nominated for Vanderhoof Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards, Outstanding Women in Leadership Roles. This is for my role in Vanderhoof Emergency Support Services and I am deeply humbled and immensely grateful be recognized with this nomination.

Visitor for afternoon tea… 🦌

Settling into my self imposed cabin isolation for the next week. Getting the place warmed up (jacket off finally) tea and soup going on the wood stove. Grateful a neighbour snowblowed a trail down in advance. Now to set up my personal sewing retreat on the lake. Boys out to join me on NYE

Officially off “duty call” for a week! No phones, keys nor radios until the New Year!

From me, to you and yours, Merry Christmas 🎅🏻 🎄

This room used to be my son’s and was BRIGHT 🍊 and beat to hell. I much prefer this softer rendition of the room designed around the teal print. Dressers repaired after 32 years of duty 2 our 3 kids. Top to be longarmed yet. I am SO happy with how it turned out 🥰. #quilting #roommakeover #iquilt

British Columbia - I am providing a LIVE update to the province on the status of the flood event now. www.youtube.com/live/HLUorsA...

9:20 pm update. Major highways between Lower Mainland and Interior closed due to flooding, falling rock/debris, high avalanche hazards. “Very important” to avoid unnecessary travel in Fraser Valley to clear roads for evacs www.drivebc.ca/advisories/f...

With the Atmospheric River bringing heavy rainfall and increased flooding risks across parts BC, please make sure you’re getting your information from trusted, official sources. See the attached image on best places to stay updated: #BCstorm #BCstormwatch #BCwx #BCfloods

❗️ The Fraser Valley continues to be in a Flood Warning ❗️ Stay away from fast-flowing rivers and unstable banks. Check with your local government or First Nation for up-to-date emergency information. Learn more about how you can prepare at: PreparedBC.ca/Floods #BCFlood

Sounds like a difficult night ahead for the upper Fraser Valley. Thinking of all the teams involved in keeping folks safe… EOC/ESS/PREOC/GSAR and all on the ground emergency responders. Be safe out there tonight, remember to check in with yourself and your buddy. #emergencymanagement
