My new collection of short stories and poetry -- We Had It Coming -- is available for pre-order now! It's the best thing I've ever written and I think you all will find solace and despair in equal measure within.

Here's my video on why Orcas versus Totem Poles is a particularly interesting end to this competition for B.C.'s Best Symbol, and yes, it was very important for me to be on top of a symbol while children crowded around me

Mr. @mark-carney.bsky.social, the surest path to Canadian nation-building and traversing inter-provincial barriers is by building a Trans-Canada High-Speed Rail network, and doing the building at high speed too

Most malls make you cycle through the parking lot to get around them. Not in Copenhagen. This is the Cykelslangen at (around) the Fisketorvet mall.

Science break.
This kayaker gets approached by an otter every time he visits a lake. The otter was orphaned after the mother was in an accident, and the man helped it throughout it's rehabilitation process to later release it back into the wild. Volume up.🔊

Small, safer, more efficient cars that have to pass safety standards that consider people outside the vehicle, not just the vehicle occupants would be a very good thing for Canada.
(The cybertruk for ex. is banned in the EU because of the damage it’s sharp corners could do to pedestrians & cyclists)
“Canadian Automobile Dealers Association proposes adopting EU regs to skirt tariffs”

“… basically asks this country to adopt EU/UK (or Japan) safety and environmental standards.”

“Quebec alone, long a bastion of Euro-style small affordable cars, would likely trip over itself to buy a Euro hatch.”

It was great to participate in the Alert Bay debate yesterday, a short boat ride from my home in Sointula!

One thing has become clear: North Island-Powell River residents want their voices to be heard and have a real seat at the government table back in Ottawa.
