Georges Island, in Halifax harbour, at the threshold of the Atlantic Ocean and historically a place of transition for prisoners of war and displaced Acadians. I'm coming to the end of my year, and all my travel is finished. I have a few small […]

AI is like someone you meet for a second who gives you directions to a nearby gas station. You promptly forget him and the directions and you also give him 100 gallons of water and a small share of your child’s future.

A Friday morning spent perusing interesting things

This is what our inlet looks like these days. Grey, wet, cold, and lovely. Fridays are for me. Since I turned 55 a couple of years ago, I've set aside Fridays for - whatever. Since my ADHD diagnosis last year, I've called Friday my ADHD day […]

So much local

Local Bowen Island businesses tucking into dialogue on the circular economy last night. Almost through a really busy month of travel and work which has been punctuated by some local volunteer work here on Bowen Island. It's always a tricky thing, to work as a facilitator in one's […]

The Alberta government continues to arbitrarily suspend the Charter Rights of some Canadians living in their province. These guys, supported by people who wave the Constitution around like a flag, continue to demonstrate their fascist game plan but suspending rights guaranteed under that same […]

Ottawa and some poems.

I’m returning to Bowen Island after a week in Ottawa working and visiting friends and the old haunts we occupied back in 91-94 when we lived there. Some things are the same, like The Manx pub which opened the same week we arrived right at the end of our block. Or good old […]
