So I am watching Beachcombers on Knowledge Network for the first time because I am an immigrant and was living in another country when it came out. Canadians, British Columbians: tell me more about the show, the cast, the location and things that I should know about this iconic series. #Beachcombers #BritishColumbia #Canada #TV

I’m thinking about the thousands of people in the Summerland area who are facing the nightmare of having to leave their homes because of wildfires. We're also seeing incredible courage from firefighters and first responders who are putting themselves on the line to protect the people and places we love. They have our deep gratitude. B.C. has now declared a state of emergency. If you’re in the province, see https://www.emergencyinfobc.gov.bc.ca/ for the latest updates. #canada #britishColumbia #okanagan

I'm so pissed. Fires have been increasing in this area for the past 23 years, ever since the big Kelowna Firestorm in August 2003. We've known for a long time that climate change is a thing. At first we were calling it global warming. Introduced in a 1975 paper, then in the news starting in 1988. And we've done almost nothing. Stop building pipelines across the country! Stop pumping oil, and instead pump more funding into wind, solar, and electric cars. Find ways to convince companies to allow their employees to work from home instead of sitting in traffic every day while vehicles burn fuel. And tax the rich with their private jets and massive carbon footprints. What will it take for our politicians to do something? The number of fires and evacuations near me is astounding. Over 230 homes burned so far in the last few days. And tonight it is getting worse. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/summerland-bc-wildfire-aug-7-9.7300528 #Wildfires #BritishColumbia #Okanagan
