So proud of both of you and what ACWW has done for writers of Asian backgrounds.
So proud of Eddy Boudel Tan and Souvankham Thammavongsa, two of the nicest, most talented authors in the Canadian lit scene today. Congrats to you both, you're wonderful role models. Good luck! cbc.ca/books/watch-... #asiancanadian #diversityLIT #gillerprize

Yesterday in Vancouver on my afternoon walk. The south side of West Georgia between Chilco and Denman is orange and red. The north side is still green until you get West of Denman. There’s a beautiful patchwork of colour in the city right now 📸🍂

And many moved to or moved back to BC for its fresh air😰 10+! It's horrifying!
By this evening, smoke is forecast to blanket Fort St. John, Prince George, Quesnel, Squamish and Williams Lake, creating an air quality health index of 10-plus — on a scale that goes only from one (low risk) to 10 (very high risk).

The UN Charter was drafted in 1945 by people who had learned the lessons that the aggression, isolationism and tariff barriers of the 20’s and 30’s had led the world into a conflagration. Article One makes it clear: threats of annexation are illegal. So are unilateral tariffs.
