Check out what's happening to life expectancy in the #ComoxValley ! Is it our active lifestyle? What's going on here? from @thetyee.ca
There’s no plan. That’s the answer I got from WLRS staff on what's going to happen with a drought + a super El-Nino. Literally, they haven’t even met to formulate a plan.Pinks have already had to be rescued from the Tsolum earlier this month. What has become apparent is that we’re on our own.
Adam Olsen nails it on the head. Our Premier is being 2-faced when it comes to #DRIPA. open.substack.com/pub/adampols...
This is so tragic. It’s going to be up to municipalities and Regional Districts to grow spines and not pint off difficult decisons to the #ALC. Farmland is now at huge risk in BC #bcpoli #foodsecurity
Congrats to all who were involved in the BC Teachers Federation in getting the #BDS motion passed by 40,000 members. Woop Woop!! 🙌 #westandwithPalestine #BCTF
Comox Valley Greens raised over $6K for the Comox Valley Transition Society and Dawn to Dawn. A great turn out! #ComoxValley
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. #bcpoli
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. #bcpoli #transrightsarehumanrights
This is a horrible move at a time when we need publicly-funded agricultural research. What a blow to national #foodsecurity I hope this is on your radar @gordjohns.bsky.social @avilewis.ca #canpoli #cdnpoli
Chilling to read this exposé on the unraveling of democracy in the US and what is looking like a 21st Century civil war. open.substack.com/pub/metaview...
The emergency resolution to institute a 2-way arms embargo with Israel, take Israeli liquor off shelves, and support Gazan resettlement failed at UBCM today. How did your local electeds vote? #freePalestine
I'm ecstatic that @emilylowan.bsky.social is the new Leader of the #BCGreens The future is bright for the party. #bcpoli
Do you know a young person in BC, 15-29, who is interested in food systems? This program might be for them! Rise Up! is now accepting applications for the 2025-2026 program year. www.riseup-phabc.ca #publichealth #communityengagement #youthleadership #BCYouth #foodsystems #localfood
Let's dispel the fear mongering with the Cowichan decision khelsilem.substack.com/p/the-truth-... #reconcilliation #foodsecurity #bcpoli
The air quality in the Comox Valley suddenly went from fresh to extreme in the span of an hour. We're trying to stay indoors and are cancelling most outside activity. Stay safe everyone. Mask up. #bcpoli #airquality #comoxvalley
We are devastated. We moved 8 hives of honeybees to our certified organic farm to keep them safe from sprays and now someone in our neighbourhood has sprayed a #pesticide and 2 hives have died. This needs to stop. Without #pollinators, we have no food.
Fascinating, scary & horrifying. Some insights into the manosphere and what draws young men there and keeps them returning. metaviews.substack.com/p/190-libidi...
