Uggh... how many lawsuits has Coleman been involved in over the years.

We're talking a lot about what is wrong with Forestry and this guy is a big part of why it is the way it is.

Big news if you use the Horseshoe Bay ferry regularly. Starting today you *must* reserve if you are going *from* Horseshoe Bay *to* Departure Bay. Only that route, only that direction. Departure Bay to Horseshoe Bay is unaffected.

This is due to major construction at HS Bay terminal […]

My letter to the editor worried about Canadian newspapers being owned by a US company that is willing to edit copy without […]

I’ve taken over the listing of Canadian mastodon servers at https://MastodonServer.ca from @mike thanks for your work on this Mike!

Don’t expect much change, though I might update the domain name at some point to be more “Fedi” inclusive?

I also enabled it on ActivityPub. You should be able to […]

BC Government introducing more legislation to continue cracking down on AirBnB hosts skirting laws, and NIMBY local governments avoiding density requirements.

I've seen the positive impacts of this literally on my street. A home across the street went from being an AirBnB with constant visitors […]

Small town Canadian newspapers at risk from anti-democratic Carpenter Media ownership group

Dear Editor, I am deeply concerned that the new American owner of this newspaper, Carpenter Media, has crossed a bright red line in journalism ethics that calls into question the independence and […]

@chris @ErickaSimone And be aware that the nature of ActivityPub makes it more difficult to see instances of this. Not all content is propagated everywhere; sometimes you have to view the original post's link to see the full extent of things.

So "I don't see it, therefore, it doesn't exist" is […]

Kudos to the Mastodon devs who implemented the email-users notification in the announcements. It's really well done. I especially like that you can send a preview/test message before sending them announcement to everyone's email!

An improvement would be for the […]

Seems like pretty simple, common sense, good advice.

If racism is happening here, call it out and stop it.

If discrimination is happening here, call it out and stop it.

Mastodon has a problem with defensiveness. Let's be better than that. Moderation is everyone's responsibility on the […]

So I hear Jay is a real piece of work these days.

Why are CEOs of Social Media companies invariably jerks?

This is why Bluesky is no better than Twitter/X.

This is why the way forward for digitally connected humanity is small interconnected […]
