Old growth trees being transported on #bchwy19 near #Nanaimo this morning.

I would guess this is just one tree, likely transported by several truck loads. Looks like a western red cedar, about 200-300 years old.

They are still logging these in previously reserved areas along the Alberni Inlet (Nahmint) and on the North Island. 😢

These were in 8-10ft chunks on the truck. Not sure what their destination would be. Possibly chipoing for pulp/paper or 🤷‍♂️

A total open fire ban starts today which usually means the forests shut down.

Not sure if that is the case, as the fire danger is not extreme but any reason to stop cutting these elders would be worth it.

I completed a checklist item for the #pandemicpond this morning. Retrieving some of the rocks that had fallen into the pond over the past couple winters. Since I upgraded to the rain barrel filters I had made a larger waterfall out of a blue water carrier and the original store-bought waterfall. (See historical pics). But I really wanted to embed it into the rocks and have the water flow out onto flat stones like the ones that line the edge.

Mission accomplished. Here’s some of the evolution.

There is a summit happening in Barcelona, Spain this weekend hosted by PM Sanchez titled "IV In Defense of Democracy". He is hosting leaders of 15 counties including Mexico's Sheinbaum, Brazil's Lula, and South Africa.

They are countering the "illiberal forces" building in the world with a force for democratic values.

No, Carney is not there.

“Guys, maybe we should all re-read Values,” wrote Supriya Dwivedi, a former Liberal staffer in prime minister Justin Trudeau’s office, of Carney’s bestselling book. “It’s possible we all missed the part where Carney said we don’t need to actually have any”.

Serious question.

At what point do the leaders of the world coordinate a joint statement to tell Donald Trump to calm the F down?

Because really, this rhetoric is way way out of hand.

Even Putin, whoever Iran's current leader is, Kim Jong Il, Bibi, all seem more rational than the current inhabitant of the White House. I don't believe any of them would use nuclear weapons as first.

I am no longer sure that Trump will resist, certainly not Hegseth.

He pulled his engineers together with one question: What is the mechanism by which this cell fails, and how do we make that physically impossible”

Someone needs to get this article in front of Mark Carney and Doug Ford and then the stupid limits on Chinese cars need to be eliminated so Canada can start building these things immediately.

This is the future.

China is leading that future and we need to come to terms with it and use our influence to make it, and them, better.

As a long time #climate campaigner... I almost feel like I should be hoping that the Iran/US war continues as long as possible so the price of oil and gasoline can go as high as possible and force economies to electrify and shift at emergency-speed to renewables.

We could have started on this the easy way 30 years ago... but a few of the same people objected and obstructed.

Both provincial NDP opposition leaders in Alberta and Saskatchewan have expressed concern on Lewis’s win… but they didn’t mention that Wab Kinew, NDP Premier of Manitoba, and the most popular Premier in the country, was right there on stage.

Dear Liberal partisans: “we can’t do anything about this chaos Trump is creating” is a bad look, and also completely untrue and a cop out.

Things you can do *today*
1) food and gas price controls
2) food and gas rebates/grants
3) EV, solar and wind mandates and grants
4) direct investment in electrification of fossil fuel transport and infrastructure, today. Move all existing projects on the books up to start asap.

These are just some of the things that could directly and immediately help Canadians through #theAmericanFascists oil wars.

Acting like it is 1975 and we just have to stick it out because there is no alternative is a cop out and makes you complicit.

Either we are different, or we are along for the sick ride. Which would you prefer?

Ignoring, or ignorant, of the fact that because the energy for renewables actually comes from the sun, only new or replacement solar/wind capacity would potentially be disrupted by this kind of shut down….

The sun would still shine and the wind would still blow, the rivers, magma, and tides would still flow, all no matter how many wars some idiot starts.

The amount of disinformation, deep fakes, and other misdirection I hear about from friends and relatives that they get from traditional social media is insane.

They have to tell me about it because I am almost always completely unaware, even though I am “on the Internet” just as much if not more than them.

This is a deep advantage of using Mastodon/the Fediverse right now. And it is not because fake stuff doesn’t exist here.

It is just not automatically sent to me by every owner, bot, and user. And if it is, it is generally swatted down hard.

Absolutely shocking. Goes against everything I ever learned on the water when I was out fishing with my dad.

If you hear a distress call on the radio that means it is near you... you drop everything, and you help.

For this guy... a captain in the Coast Guard!!... to “wait for instructions” is beyond the pale.

It's wild how far behind North American, European, Japanese and Korean automakers are in the EV space. I submit it is *primarily* because fossil fuel interests are holding them back.

The new tech in China is stunning.

"The EVs were plugged in at 9% state of charge with 93 kilometers of range (57 miles). In 9 minutes and 51 seconds, they charged up to 97% with the range prediction in their gauge cluster displaying 1,008 kilometers (626 miles).

"The Commies” also seem to do capitalism better than "us”:

"The world’s largest EV maker saw its steepest sales plunge since the pandemic, with February sales falling 41% amid cut-throat competition in China's EV market. BYD is now hoping for a comeback by democratizing its cutting-edge new technology.”

But if they are only concerned about them notifying authorities when there is concerning behaviour, then they are missing the most important point.

It's official! This Sunday will be the last "leap forward" in BC!

As of next November, the Vancouver time zone in British Columbia, Canada will be referred to as "Pacific Time" and will be -7GMT permanently. (same as Yukon Territory which did this 2 years ago)

The presser was pretty cute actually. They had kids with little clocks, and they danced.

I would have preferred staying at Standard Time, but this will be ok too. It's interesting that Premier Eby made a point of (gently, as there were kids) insisting the delay of 6 years since the overwhelming survey response from British Columbians to eliminate the time change was due to waiting for the US West Coast states to do the same.

Now, BC has decided to push, and to lead by example.

Canada has stood for humanitarian law and international peace and security for nearly a century.

We should be a “Middle Power” with values. Right? Wasn’t that the Davos speech?!

But here we are clapping meekly from the sidelines as the country that would love to annex us, now ruled by a Christo-Fascist Regime, and in partnership with a Judeo-Fascist Regime blows up people in a country ruled by a Islamo-Fascist regime.

We are basically back to the Middle Ages but with nukes in our back pocket.

These are the three most dangerous countries in the world all fighting amongst themselves. We should not be taking sides, except for the side of peaceful civilians of all religions in all countries.

This is not the way.

It is time for Canada to end its participation in the Golden Dome and NORAD until the USA once again becomes a trustworthy global nation.

We cannot be dragged into complicity with international crimes.

It is time for Canadians to have a very very deep discussion about our military, our own expectations, and our neighbour. The days of “the longest unguarded border” are gone.

If the USA “acquires” Greenland, then Canada can be effectively surrounded, and blockaded by the USA.

Just putting that out there.

A bad day for Russia is a good day for the rest of the free world!

"Starmer added that after the ceasefire, “The UK and France will establish “military hubs” across Ukraine And build protected facilities for weapons and military equipment to support Ukraine’s defensive needs.”

Still waiting to hear what Canada's contribution will be. I would speculate it may be to increase focus and assets in the Baltics and re-establish a permanent base somewhere in Western Europe for a rapid reaction type force.

With financial, materiel, and economic support going to Ukraine itself.

Speak up! If Greenland is Ukraine – Canada is Poland

I sent this letter to my Courtenay-Alberni Member of Parliament, Gord Johns, this morning and copied it to Minister Anand (Anita.Anand@parl.gc.ca) and Prime Minister Carney (pm@pm.gc.ca). I encourage any Canadian reading this to consider sending something to your own MP and the Minister and Prime Minister. This is the very least we can do in these very dangerous and volatile times.

“The Prime Minister himself did not make a statement in the press release, but multiple sources close to Carney have confirmed that he is just choosing to spend the weekend relaxing in an undisclosed location after concluding an impromptu visit to the former Canadian Forces Station Carp, better known as the Diefenbunker museum.”

There needs to be contract language drawn up for government using consultants that amounts to

"if the final report is found to contain AI-generated fake or mis-quoted information, or it is otherwise suspect that part or all of the report has been generated using an LLM, the entire report will be considered inadmissible and a full refund of all costs will be expected.”

That's how you protect the integrity of public decision making.

2025-09-19T20:18:40Z

The last time a Russian jet entered the sovereign airspace of a NATO country this is what happened... this was a 17 second violation (after multiple warnings by Turkish forces to the Russian jet to change course)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Russian_Sukhoi_Su-24_shootdown

Turkey didn't put up with the intrusion, shot the jet down, and Russia has never tried since. (one of the two Russian pilots in the jet, and other Russian military personnel died due to events after the shoot-down)

Today Russia violated Estonian airspace with not 1 but 3 aircraft. No word yet whether the jets were warned by Estonian or NATO forces. 12 minutes is a very very long time for another country’s aircraft to be over the territory of an unfriendly country.

Putin is very clearly testing NATO now. NATO needs to shoot these planes down and call Russia's bluff.

2025-09-17T16:21:39Z

Got my water/utility bill for the spring/summer yesterday. (we get billed 3 times a year as part of our general city utilities bill including water, sewer and garbage/recycling fees).

Figured it would be a big water year this year so I've been wanting to see this. And of course, I have data going back to 2019ish.

Today's bill only goes to August 1st, so it doesn't include when we started to fill the #pondpool!

This was already a dry year in the spring and we were doing lots of watering in the front yard for the new ground cover in the modified driveway and the 3 new fruit trees.

Verdict:
2024: Apr 12 - Aug 7: 122, 200L

2025 Apr 14 - Aug 1 (7 less days!): 136,600L

It will be interesting to see if the August pond filling will add a big chunk onto our summer/fall consumption or if that is offset by both the brief August water restrictions, and the departure of both kids this fall to consume other people's water. ;=)

If you want an indication of how much water people use vs. yards: look at our August 2022 bill, which captures when we were on our cross-Canada roadtrip for 30 days in July/August of the 100 day period.

Glad to see she will continue as a key representative to Ukraine on behalf of Canada.

It makes more sense now why she was in Kyiv looking at drones last week.

She is also a fluent Urainian speaker.
