🌊 🎉 Today marks the entry into force of the #HighSeasTreaty!

In addition to protecting the #Ocean, the treaty represents a huge win for multilateralism: Countries worked quickly to ratify the treaty, demonstrating their desire for global cooperation on ocean #conservation.

My new collection of short stories and poetry -- We Had It Coming -- is available for pre-order now! It's the best thing I've ever written and I think you all will find solace and despair in equal measure within.

Here's my video on why Orcas versus Totem Poles is a particularly interesting end to this competition for B.C.'s Best Symbol, and yes, it was very important for me to be on top of a symbol while children crowded around me

Mr. @mark-carney.bsky.social, the surest path to Canadian nation-building and traversing inter-provincial barriers is by building a Trans-Canada High-Speed Rail network, and doing the building at high speed too

Science break.
This kayaker gets approached by an otter every time he visits a lake. The otter was orphaned after the mother was in an accident, and the man helped it throughout it's rehabilitation process to later release it back into the wild. Volume up.🔊

Small, safer, more efficient cars that have to pass safety standards that consider people outside the vehicle, not just the vehicle occupants would be a very good thing for Canada.
(The cybertruk for ex. is banned in the EU because of the damage it’s sharp corners could do to pedestrians & cyclists)
“Canadian Automobile Dealers Association proposes adopting EU regs to skirt tariffs”

“… basically asks this country to adopt EU/UK (or Japan) safety and environmental standards.”

“Quebec alone, long a bastion of Euro-style small affordable cars, would likely trip over itself to buy a Euro hatch.”

It was great to participate in the Alert Bay debate yesterday, a short boat ride from my home in Sointula!

One thing has become clear: North Island-Powell River residents want their voices to be heard and have a real seat at the government table back in Ottawa.
