    Wow - just saw something explode over us - not a meteor, more like space debris @sundogplanets@mastodon.social #Nanaimo

    No way Nanaimo air quality is &#39;Good&#39; at 24 - light is yellow, we can smell the smoke, skies are covered #Nanaimo #BCpoli #BCstorm #Wildfires https://www.iqair.com/air-quality/canada/british-columbia/nanaimo

    Yuch - heavy smoke for South BC, Vancouver, Vancouver Island and Western Washington tomorrow Wear a mask, it looks ugly Explain to me like I&#39;m 4 years old why the hell we are building more oil and gas pipelines #BCstorm #Wildfires #BCpoli #Climate #ClimateChange

    Spokane in major emergency - Old Trails fire jumped the river into the city&#39;s northern neighbourhoods and is spreading fast, might merge with The Fairview fire to the east And another fire has just started to the north Mass, urgent, evacuations #Spokane #WIldfires https://www.khq.com/fires/breaking-old-trails-fire-jumps-spokane-river/video_040e08ec-e0e5-5d44-a693-9fa82bf5aa9b.html

    Sure, let&#39;s build new LNG and oil pipelines through all this - fucking insanity Vote Liberal, get and get an insider lobbyist for climate destruction as PM #Wildfires #USpol #USpolitics #CDNpoli #BCpoli #ABpoli

    Throwing things and swearing a lot - our son&#39;s nurse called from Nanaimo hospital, new patient in his room under &#39;droplet&#39; protocol and would it be ok for him to wear a mask (as an FYI, hardly anyone masks there) Won&#39;t say if it&#39;s Covid, but likely 1: Droplet protocol is gaslighting, anything respiratory is aerosol 2: Why isn&#39;t that patient isolated? I&#39;m fuming #Covid #Covid19 #Nanaimo #BCpoli

    Two older women just wandered down our front path, well into our property and started picking from our blackberry and blueberry patch - like WTAF?! Well dressed Lululemon types thinking it&#39;s just fine to trespass and steal our fruit Seen some weird behaviour last few years from people who appear normal, but that was stunningly audacious - total breaking of social norms, and illegal #Nanaimo #BCpoli

    What do you do when trying to care for our son in Nanaimo hospital, and the nurses and health aides are too busy to change his diaper for 2 hours? You raid the supply cabinet, do it yourself - and they fucking call security so now I&#39;m a hospital threat - fun #BCpoli

    10pm in Nanaimo, and 27C Smoke coming in from wildfires and we are building fossil fuel pipelines #BCpoli #BCstorm

  • Post #3732213

    Canadian government wasting dollars advertising on all the sports channels about how this country is leading in renewable energy - which actually shows nuclear plants (nerp, dangerous, expensive and def not renewable) - while proposing 3 new massive tax payer funded bitumen pipelines, along with all the LNG shit in BC It&#39;s pure gaslighting (pun intended) and actually breaks CRTC advertising rules #CDNpoli #BCpoli #Climate #ClimateChange

    The worst merger decision in Canadian history (and there have been many) must be allowing Roger&#39;s to buy SHAW - now not only are they considering selling the mobile division to a US private equity group, but they have shut down vital news radio stations across the country If you hear any politician claiming competition is key, never believe them - we need to own public interest, not make monopolies RIP News 1130 Vancouver #CDNpoli #BCpoli #Media

    Bizarrely still little information from authorities on the sunk &#39;charter&#39; vessel with 6 missing and 4 rescued - but the former boat owner has come forward with interesting information That boat seems far too small for 10 people, and the operators had a run in with Fisheries and Oceans for illegal fishing Seems like an unsafe, unlicensed cowboy operation #BCpoli https://vancouversun.com/news/vessel-that-sank-off-bc-coast-had-been-impounded-last-year-for-illegal-fishing-former-owner...

    although SCOTUS did uphold birthright citizenship (for now), the dissenting asshat judges seem to think a president can decide on a whim who is a citizen or not - they have clearly demonstrated a total fascist, white supremist ruling regime is not imagination, it is a fact #USpol #USpolitics

  • Post #3483660

    This is one of the worst boating disasters in recent BC history, and yet the lack of information is excruciating - which charter? who are the missing? how did the vessel just disappear? why no life jackets or deployment of a life boat? why call off the search so soon? why aren&#39;t the survivors speaking? Betting FIFA is screaming at authorities to downplay this #CDNpoli #BCpoli #FIFA #WorldCup https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/livestory/boaters-missing-off-coast-british-colum...

    For those celebrating Carney&#39;s idiotic pro-nuclear announcement - a reactor in France had to shut down in the heatwave as the river that supplies cooling water is too hot. Let alone the expense, waste issues, security concerns etc. - climate change itself makes the entire program a truly awful idea #CDNpoli #Climate #ClimateChange

    One of the most effective, organic, long lasting boycotts in recent history Not one group really organized this, no advertising (except stores doing buy Canadian, and they mostly flubbed that) This is ongoing collective fury and disdain Well done Canada #CDNpoli #BCpoli #USpol #USpolitics https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/cross-border-travel-down-dramatically-research-9.7198652

    It was looking good, waste water detection down all over, fewer reports of LTC homes with Covid - but today at least 5 friends reporting positive cases, some just a month or so after getting over a previous infection, and it&amp;#39;s mainly kids with schools projecting This is BA 3.2, it has a new binding mechanism bypassing vaccines and short term infection immunity - and it&amp;#39;s a bugger, people getting really ill Mask, be aware #Covid #Covid19 #Covidisnotover
