It’s been more than 20 years since I installed the 1st school-based weather station at Strawberry Vale Elementary on March 11, 2005. Now, the project is at a critical juncture. Do I shut it down, or do I try to reinvigorate it? Decision day is Sept. 30, 2025.

I’ve been investigating Paramount’s deal with Trump. Here’s what we know:
- Trump sued CBS
- CBS called the lawsuit “meritless”
- Paramount (owner of CBS) still settled, handing $16 MILLION+ to Trump’s library
- Paramount has a billion-dollar deal that needs Trump’s approval
- Trump sued CBS
- CBS called the lawsuit “meritless”
- Paramount (owner of CBS) still settled, handing $16 MILLION+ to Trump’s library
- Paramount has a billion-dollar deal that needs Trump’s approval
CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.
America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.
Watch and share his message.

Eby just set a huge trap for the @bcgreens. It’s politics at its worst. If the greens vote for Bill 7 - “the NDP’s authoritarian regime act” they betray all BC. If they vote against it, Eby will say non confidence & call an election. Eby wants a majority. He may not get what he wants #bcpoli
