To be clear: the north coast transmission line is FOR the demand, not for future export of power.
Why we're doing it The North Coast is seeing significant growth in many areas, including ports, mining, hydrogen, technology and liquified natural gas and the potential demand for electricity exceeds the capacity of the existing transmission system. To support economic development and to meet the growing demand from customers in northwest BC we're proposing to expand our transmission infrastructure by building new transmission lines, upgrading existing lines, expanding or upgrading substations, and expanding capacitor stations. The proposed transmission system expansion also supports BC Hydro’s reconciliation objectives. We are partnering with First Nations on new approaches to infrastructure development, including an opportunity for First Nations co-ownership of the North Coast Transmission Line.

Really great work here!

*AI NONSENSE WARNING* Lars Mikkelsen was not in Game of Thrones; however, his brother, the actor Mads Mikkelsen, was in the show, which can cause confusion. Lars Mikkelsen is a Danish actor known for roles in Ahsoka, The Kingdom, and as the voice of Grand Admiral Thrawn in Star Wars: Rebels. Brother: The confusion likely stems from his brother, Mads Mikkelsen, who was in Game of Thrones as the character Kaecilius in the film Doctor Strange, which can be confused with other roles. Key Roles: Lars Mikkelsen is known for roles like the voice of Grand Admiral Thrawn in Star Wars: Rebels, and has appeared in Sherlock, The Kingdom, and House of Cards.

Saw one of my all time favourite movies, Heat (1995) in the theatre tonight. What a film, and what a treat to finally see (and hear!) it in large format.

Man I read the Wealthsimple newsletter this morning, some pretty wild hopium about becoming a world superpower by somehow replacing our US exports with different trading partners.

A 30 cent difference on Detroit is highway robbery, no? Over 10% difference in breakeven % (you have to win 54.6% of the time at -120 vs 46.5% at +115)

I’m back! Have been v busy finishing up my uni portfolio for submission in 1 week, so that’s why you haven’t heard from me lately!

Shooting a short film on minimal budget is extremely challenging but I’m making it happen. I still need your assistance to make it to the finish line, details below:

Hahaha. I am pretty split on the issue, cause life can suck but also who wants to give up, right? It’s interesting because I am thinking a lot about my family history and I feel like I should be writing this shit down. Spoke to a 2nd cousin today & received this pic of my great aunt & grandmother:

I’m in the studio tonight doing storyboards for my upcoming film FULCRUM (which shoots tomorrow), and what better soundtrack than SOLSTEN?

I need everyone’s help to finish my film so a purchase of my album will go greatly towards that!
