The Songhees and Xwsepsum First Nations today announced a desire to work with local partners to revive the E&N line from Langford to Victoria.

There is much work to do on this file, and much we don't know, but the main takeaway is the leadership shown by the Nations today.

Exciting times!

Why this this important?

1. It’s lead by the Nations.
2. Support from the Nations is essential to do anything with the E&N.
3. Some clarity on a path ahead was provided (a rail realignment)
4. It provides serious food for thought in how B.C. Transit approaches longterm LRT plans.

It ended a year ago but I still can't get this song out of my head. I never played the game but the Netflix series Arcane is going to stick with me for a long time...

Without fanfare, the BC Ministry of Transportation released a report that makes a strong case for a Westshore to Victoria rail line, writes Sam Holland
New Study Makes Strong Case for Getting Westshore Rail on Track - Better Columbia
The province quietly updated the 2011 Westshore Rapid Transit Study. They determined that we need transit investment, now more than ever.

Yesterday, on #WorldCancerDay, we celebrated the 45th anniversary of the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope with the premiere of a short film featuring an adaptation of our song ‘Courage (for Hugh MacLennan)’.

Terry started a marathon against cancer. Together we can end it.

1. I'm NOT the sort of SF/F nerd who thinks everyone needs to read a "canon" of older works in genre like they're homework before they get to call themselves a fan, nevertheless the book I'm always mildly surprised when people say they haven't read it is "Snow Crash," which to me is era-defining...

Two things I wish I got to do more of: play D&D and fix up my '74 VW bus. This scratches a little of both itches.
