Chilling to read this exposé on the unraveling of democracy in the US and what is looking like a 21st Century civil war.

The emergency resolution to institute a 2-way arms embargo with Israel, take Israeli liquor off shelves, and support Gazan resettlement failed at UBCM today.

How did your local electeds vote?

I'm ecstatic that @emilylowan.bsky.social is the new Leader of the #BCGreens

The future is bright for the party.

Do you know a young person in BC, 15-29, who is interested in food systems? This program might be for them!

Rise Up! is now accepting applications for the 2025-2026 program year. www.riseup-phabc.ca

The air quality in the Comox Valley suddenly went from fresh to extreme in the span of an hour. We're trying to stay indoors and are cancelling most outside activity. Stay safe everyone. Mask up.

Posted on FB and it struck a nerve with folks. If peanut butter is a staple & you were about to give it up to stop supporting US companies, here’s another choice!

Great for folks on Vancouver Island. Love to hear what other alternative folks have found.

We are devastated. We moved 8 hives of honeybees to our certified organic farm to keep them safe from sprays and now someone in our neighbourhood has sprayed a #pesticide and 2 hives have died. This needs to stop.

Without #pollinators, we have no food.

Fascinating, scary & horrifying. Some insights into the manosphere and what draws young men there and keeps them returning.

The new federal housing minister wants to see affordable housing but doesn't want house prices to fall? How does that work? Currently, it does not. We have the highest home prices (indexed) of all the G7 countries.

What does it say when a candidate asks your Chamber to move an All Candidates Meeting to suit his schedule and then does bother showing up?

It's simple. The NDP are the only party that can beat Aaron Gunn and the CPC in our riding. Tell your friends.

I got to meet Canadian icon @charlieangus104.bsky.social today. His message was clear:

1. Continue the US boycott & don’t waiver
2. Don’t let them divide us. We are stronger together.

There are. But I was just at a fantastic rally wiht @charlieangus104.bsky.social in Cumberland with so many people who embrace being woke, think DEI is what makes Canada great and want to f$ck fascism!

There has to be at least one woman in your life. And if you care about that woman, you can't vote Conservative.

Courtenay-Comox MLA Brennan Day walks back his name on a letter that supported Aaron Gunn and denied that anything he said was racist or wrong. Hmm... you'd think you wouldn't wait days if someone signed your name without you knowing.

The list of elected and formerly elected individuals who are opposed to Aaron Gunn's candidacy is growing. Almost 40 signatures, including 9 Chiefs.
