The Carney cuts are an attack on Canadian values.
And they're so much worse than previously advertised.

I know this article is supposed to be critical of the @ndp.ca.
But...
"maybe [Avi's] unapologetically anti-corporate, anti-business, anti-establishment populism will resonate"
This sounds like a man for our time.

Victoria, you're being represented well.

That would be extremely terrible for BC. Northern Vancouver Island shall never be forgiven for unleashing that bigot on the rest of us.

Another Canadian Premier League team has folded.
You know what "Elbows Up" means? It's supporting Canadian businesses.
Winnipeg has failed to do that.
Pacific FC and Vancouver FC are also struggling.
Come on, Canada. Support our own league.

This happens in cities that don't care about their citizens.
Campbell River's approach to the fentanyl crisis has been shameful.

Creativity can exist within the public healthcare system.
We should also look to other countries, such as Taiwan, South Korea, Cuba, Japan Sweden, and Norway, for ways to improve the system.
Norway, for example, handles primary care at the municipal level.

I've said it before, I'll say it again:
Canadian Premier League is in trouble.
Why?
Because Canadian soccer fans and sports media have not supported the league.
And now, half the clubs are bleeding money.

Final #hiking #vanisland 5040
All in all, 5040 is tied for my favourite hike with the West Coast Trail. Interesting terrain (not just a long, mindless slog), gorgeous views, ability to dip in and out of waterfall pools, great as a day-trip or an overnight, mix of forest cover and rocky exposure.
Pt 3 of #hiking #vanisland 5040
We 'camped' in the HiΕ‘imyΜawiΖ hut (maintained by Alpine Club of Canada), about 700m up. The hut is AWESOME (propane and induction stoves, electricity, chairs, water filtration station) and you get incredible sunset views, along with your friends the mosquitos.

Cobalt Lake and the summit
Cobalt Lake is stunning. Can open your eyes underwater and see right to the bottom through that gorgeous blue. We had a raven friend join us on the summit for the view.
Pretty epic for @delilahdlish.bsky.social first overnight
#hiking up 5040 a couple of weeks ago, July 13-15
5040 is only about 3.5 km to the top but climbs 928m/3044 ft in that short span!
More root-and-rock climbing than hiking, it is super intellectually stimulating, and you get amazing views literally every step of the way.

If you live on the south island, shop at this store (Urban Grocer) in Victoria.
If you're a producer, reach out to this store because they're sourcing Canadian product.

I think you're attributing too much power to Planners, again... ;)
It would be fun to know who at BC Ferries named the terminals in the late 1950s, though. Sounds like the kind of thing a journalist might look into... ;)

Image shows April 7, 2025 polling from the website 338canada.com for the BC Cowichan-Malahat-Langford riding. CPC leaning Conservative 37% +/- 7% ^ NDP 30% +/- 7% v Liberal 28% +/- 6% Green 3% +/- 3%
Ridings to watch #April28:
The Cowichan-Malahat-Langford seat may go to a Con, polling at 37%, as the progressives split the majority. Liberal & incumbent NDP are nearly tied and trending closer.
