“No man is a failure who has friends.” It’s a Wonderful Life was Rob Reiner’s favourite movie. Watching it tonight (Wed, 9 pm ET) instead of the Trump speech. You should too!

This CBC article reads like a tourism brochure for the US travel industry. Not one mention of the boycott. The article says that if you travel to Montana you can buy one beer and get one free. Frick...I value our sovereignty to a higher value than a free bottle of Coors. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Saanich Police are asking for the public’s help in locating a missing man who was last seen nearly two weeks ago.

For over 130 years, Canadians either loved or hated Cherry Blossoms. Considered a staple of the Christmas season, these candies were often found in stockings. In January 2025, it was announced Cherry Blossoms were being discontinued. This is their history. 🧵 1/6

Today, we remember women hurt or killed by cowardly violence and stand with survivors and their loved ones. As the 16 Days of Activism begins, we recommit to preventing violence, strengthening supports, and doing the work so every woman in our province feels safe.

Neighbours gathered for a candlelight vigil and potluck Saturday night to honour Sherry Shelley, the 65-year-old Nanaimo woman whose disappearance police are treating as highly suspicious.

Bree's story is featured at the top of the Apple Podcast app this week. It still boggles my mind that a podcast created under my stairs in Port Alberni rubs shoulders with the New Yorker & the CBC. 🙏 Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/i...

Everyone who has been angered by horrific images of starvation in Gaza needs to recognize that they wouldn’t see those images, and wouldn’t know about the atrocities their governments bankroll, without journalists risking their lives. That is exactly why Israel is targeting and killing them.

Trump has never wavered in his attack on Canada. He has stated his intention to use economic tariffs to break our will. Rhetoric from MAGA officials continues to escalate. The 35% threat is not about trade. This is war by other means. We need to be strong. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ttd...

My partner in crime, Judge Wolf, has been involved in working with the community to get this up and running. So proud of the big guy. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The one thing that every Canadian knows - if you are confronted by ICE you don't ever slam on the brakes. You put both hands on the wheel and drive right over ICE. True. North. Strong. Free.

Stunning how media has turned passage of the Abominable Bill into a will they-or-won't they romcom with a July 4th deadline for Cinderella to kiss the prince, rather than a situation in which multiple members of Congress say they're terrified they or their families will be killed if they cross Trump

Ever ask yourself....I wonder what happened to TV News legend Kevin Newman? Listen up. Kevin and a team of volunteers have a new project you may find interesting. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/h...

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Each one of these Americans KNOW they are asking Canadians to trade their own personal safety in order to give THEM our money. Like your neighbour inviting you over to their fire hazard of a crack den so they can ask for a loan but somehow even worse. Grotesque behaviour, #America #ElbowsUp #cdnpoli

Jim is the very best, and this was such a smart, plainspoken and factual episode on where Canada's economy actually is right now, and where it could be going. Have a listen!

Hmmm. I haven't had a favourite economist since I left Uni. But now I do. 🙏 to @jimstanford.bsky.social for joining @jordanhr.bsky.social & the Elbows Up crew for this week's episode on trade, tariffs and a look ahead to the G7. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/a...

🧵I was 12 the summer that Star Wars was first released. It cost $1 to see it at the Meadowlark Theatre and I could bike there from my house. So let's just say I watched it early and often. Of course, no sequels ever measured up for me - because I wasn't 12 anymore. But....

For a deep dive into the disappearance of Michael Dunahee, with updates as recent as last week, I highly recommend listening to Season 3 of journalist @palmerl.bsky.social 's podcast "Island Crime". podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/i...
