Hey, conservatives.
Please say you're not surprised at the behaviour of oligopolists?
Is this the goal you had in mind?
NEW BABY ORCA!!! Only a few days to weeks old.
The orca is the great-grandbaby of *one* Orca named Wake who was one of 6 orcas captured by Sea World in 1976 to be put on display. But after a court battle, they were released, and this *one* Orca is now the matriarch of 6% of the *entire* remaining southern resident Orca population!
Watch the video of the new baby here!

This #ancient yellow #cedar #tree is older than the Great Wall of China & older than the Vatican.
All #ElderTrees - of this colossal & majestic scale, must be preserved & their ecosystems protected.

The only thing Poilievre wants to bring home is Trump into your living room
Lots of traffic in Nanaimo, looks like March Break people are all doing staycations on the Island, friend says Tofino is packed
Also quite a few US plates, and not sure they are getting the welcome they expected - saw quite a few middle fingers to drivers with Wash plates - maybe not deserved, but our anger is real
so, Island Health has apparently been trying to contact us for urgent tests, but Gmail is flagging emails from them as Spam and Suspicious - go figure that tech is against public health
Never heard of paravirus 'parainfluenza' - but that is what we have, and they want more from us.... and a good friend who is an infectious disease NP is like WTAF!!!
Wife is entering week 4, I'm in week 3 of an 'unknown' virus that truly feels like a combination of noro and Covid. Reduced lung function, no appetite, incredible fatigue
She was tested for everything at ER with no conclusion. Now friends reporting they have this and are cancelling Spring Break trips.
Stay masked, stay safe - public health is asleep
Why #BCNDP won't EVER get my vote or any of my family's vote again.
Why I hate cops even more.
Why I yell at people who support cops.
You would shut your coploving mouths if they pulled the same shit on your family & your Dad dies on same night.
Why I still believe no Mayor should be heading ANY municipal police boards. FUCK YOU, DEAN - SAANICH MAYOR & #BOOTLICKER

"He has no regard for the chaos that he's causing," Eby said, referring to Trump. "We feel this is part of his strategy to hurt the Canadian economy and to force us into his vision of annexation into the United States of America, redrawing our borders and [getting] access to our water."

While most media are heralding the 5th anniversary of the declaration of the global Covid pandemic as a win over the disease, the thousands who know better see this as the day Public Health died, and disinformation leading to actual fascism was given free thrift
We can, and must, still fight
The fact Bonnie Henry is still in office, looking to fail upwards, is the clearest indication
BC launches full prohibition on all American alcohol.
Reasons:
"One is to respond to the escalating threats that we're seeing from the United States. The other is to recognize the feeling that many British Columbians have now when we look at American products, we don't even want to see them on the shelf anymore. "
#PeopleWithDisabilities are excluded from multiple local emergency evacuation plans. They do not even include us. We should just wait for help or die waiting? We deserve better!
