Sea levels around the world are much higher than we thought Most coastal risk assessments have underestimated current sea levels, meaning tens of millions of people face losing their homes to rising waters earlier than expected

Alarming.

Comox Valley Greens raised over $6K for the Comox Valley Transition Society and Dawn to Dawn. A great turn out!

Mark Carney is the most effective Conservative Prime Minister since at least Brian Mulroney, and possibly since Sir Robert Borden.

This is not a compliment.

Cumberland, BC really does epitomize a successful transition from dirty energy (coal) to clean through support of the Cumberland Forest, a thriving arts sector (especially music!) and is now a foodie hub.

Did you know that Health Canada has allowed gene-edited pork to enter the market without labeling?

For those busy defending, explaining, parsing Carney’s statement that Canada supports US acting in Iran - claiming he didn’t mean military strikes, he meant something something else.
How do you think Trump and regime read it?

The BC Conservatives' assertion that they only voted yes to the Bill to repeal the Human Rights code so that it "could be heard and debated" is total bullshit.

Back in Oct 2025, they voted to not table this Bill to stop Land Acknowledgements.

Shoot. That should have been MLA. I have to remember not to get my knickers in a twist so late in the day.

If your BC MP voted in favour of tabling the bill to repeal the BC Human Rights Code, this is the level of response you should have.

Ashamed that my own MLA, Brennan Day, voted in favour of this Bill.

The Liberals lied when they said Canada didn't sell arms to Israel.

BC needs trust and stability.

David Eby wanting to amend #DRIPA erodes that trust. Sign the petition to tell the BC Government to uphold this legislation and properly implement it.

We met Hasan Piker, the biggest left wing streamer in the world. As the 99%, we’re not out numbered, we’re out-organized. When we stand together, we have more power than we think⚡ #politics #hasanpiker

Poilievre is going to lose his job either before or immediately after the next general election, and will then quietly transition to a career writing angry editorials for the Fraser Institute which will be printed verbatim by the National Post.
He will then be the Conrad Black of the CPC.

I'm thinking there are folks in Kitimat who are super mad and wishing they hadn't approved this monstrosity

Kashmir’s Lotus Stems Rise Again The return of the essential crop is preserving an age-old way of life as farmers learn to work with water rather than force it away.

As climate change hits northern India, Kashmiri farmers return to a traditional crop - often processed & sold by women.

This needs to be the year that every VI municipality without universal water metering finally introduces it.

Interesting to see how the BC Greens platformed a 4-day week in 2024 and got laughed at. Suddenly the G&M are all over it?

MP Johns advocates for salmon restoration funding in discussion with federal government YouTube video by Gord Johns

Uncertainty around the Salmon Allocation Policy has allowed misinformation to spread. Families will continue to fish, and salmon will remain a public resource. We deserve facts & transparency, not fear and confusion about something so vital to coastal communities. 2/3
