As someone who had to cancel and rebook multiple flights to get a project team to Winnipeg on-time thanks to WestJet's snafus, it's difficult to argue with this.

Happening tonight at UniversityOfVictoria's Phoenix Theatre! "The story we’re bringing to the audience is how people supported one another through those disasters — and the need for more support.” #yyc #climatechange #bcpoli timescolonist.com/entertainment/…

This isn't just a bad sign about the level of civic engagement in British Columbia. It's also a bad sign about the level of media engagement. Wither the fourth estate? #bcpoli

And what will happen if the CBC is defunded and local journalism initiative is axed following the next federal election? Canada will truly become an unknowable country to the very people who live here as we experience news desertification the likes of which we have never seen.

In an era where visuals often trump text, the firing of editorial cartoonists has never made much sense. But the continued lack of these pictures in newspapers across Canada is worth a 1,000+ words about the failure of the news industry to respond to a changing news environment.

British Columbia is rewriting its laws to share power with Indigenous nations over a land base bigger than France and Germany combined. A global precedent, with huge implications for biodiversity. My first for the The Guardian theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…

This is what happens when a lot of people are hurt, scared, and alone. We've been here before. Many times. The Democratic Party's failure last night was a failure to effectively respond to those feelings, which authoritarianism has easy answers to. We have to do better than this.

It’s time for a care revolution. My heart aches today for democracy, the planet and each other. We can and must do better 💔

Today, I helped Tera Sisco, who lost her six-year-old son during flooding in Nova Scotia, share her story. It's the start of a series Climate Disaster Project is publishing with the The Guardian to ensure survivors are heard during climate talks in Azerbaijan. #cop29 theguardian.com/environment/ng…

The job interview test that I would set independent disaster public advocate would be to parse this article for all ways that a both a community and responders allow a woman to do what she needs to do at her worst time theguardian.com/environment/ng…
