An election worker at the #Nanaimo Golf Club voting location says it’s been quiet all morning. Don’t let the rain or apathy keep you home. Don’t take this Canadian right for granted. Don’t let the boomers decide who’s elected. They’re all voting today. Get out there and vote!!!

Back on Radio NL in Kamloops this evening co-hosting Provincial election coverage with the mighty Paul James. Starts at 8pm. 610am and streamed from the NL website. Going to be an interesting evening in BC!

Last 24 hours three strangers have called out my name on the street, I’ve said “make sure you vote!” and they’ve said “I will!” it’s like being the mayor of a small town where people randomly burst into song

I had the honour of accepting a Climate & Energy Action Award on behalf the District of Saanich. Saanich received an Action Award for infrastructure improvements. The Tillicum Green project helped make the neighbourhood more resilient to flood & extreme heat with social & environmental benefits.

I feel very lucky to be in the hall for this session. The Union of BC Municipalities @ubcm offers some of the most practical, calm, nuanced information on our province's biggest challenges and opportunities. #ubcm26

Great to spend some quality time with dear friends and fellow #ubcm Past Presidents Maja Tait and Brian Frenkel before a busy week at the #ubcm26 convention.

Mother of Alex Pretti: "I was not shocked that he helped somebody. My shock is that he was murdered and no one has given us the complete truth or anyone has been held accountable. And it's been seven months." shorturl.at/cZVEb

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

Y'all... the Band of the Coldstream Guards performed "9 to 5" in front of Buckingham Palace in honor of Dolly Parton.

the World Cup is one of those things that reminds us we’re one humanity. Sucks that a corrupt few influence so much division in us. Day to day life around the world is still that we eat, drink, laugh, cheer for a goal. Remembering our shared humanity is so important now. If we forget, we’re doomed.

It's kind of blowing my mind that there is a robust discussion on electoral reform at the #liberal2026 convention. #cdnpoli

HOLY CRAP: 455 tourists are now CONFIRMED to be visiting for Tod's #Nanaimo Infusion. That number does NOT include locals, or people who are coming but haven't RSVPed. 52% are healthcare workers mostly from the U.S. visiting to see if it's a place they could see themselves working. And. Counting.

350 visitors CONFIRMED for Tod's #Nanaimo Infusion. (That does NOT include locals.) That's just those who filled out the RSVP form, which has only been up for 24 hours! ✅ THE BIG NEWS: 45% of them either work in healthcare or their spouses do. Want to come? Check out 2026.nanaimoinfusion.ca

Wow! Didn't see this coming. Boy oh boy. Pierre Poilievre crosses the floor to join the Federal Liberal Caucus. Says it was a fools game to try to go against Mark Carney. #cdnpoli

Tumbler Ridge is a small planned resource community, a winding 90 minute drive from the nearest city of at least 10,000 people. A massive number of people are going to descend there tomorrow. May those that arrive have respect and grace for the unimaginable grief.

The Stonecliffe Strata on Chilco Rd. View Royal, BC  became the first FireSmart Recognised Neighbourhood in Greater Victoria for their year-long wildfire risk reduction work.  We all have a part to play in wildfire reduction.  #BCWildfire #FireSmart

Great work by a 1st term Vancouver Island Area Director :-)

It’s very loud in Kyiv. russia is attacking us with ballistic missiles. Let the world know.

Next week I'm attending the Conservative Leadership Convention in Calgary as an observer. Not because I'm opposition—but because I genuinely want to understand, listen, and build bridges with other engaged Canadians. We need more curiosity and less polarization. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli

CBC News will add 33 local journalists and create 11 new bureaus, increasing its Canadian footprint from 66 to 77 locations. This "boots-on-the-ground" investment is in addition to last year's local expansion of 30 journalists in 22 communities across Canada. www.cbc.ca/news/editors...

“I carried him on my back. It took seven days.” A camp in eastern Chad is now home to more than 100,000 refugees of Sudan’s civil war, and is a key destination for those fleeing El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur State. Resources are strained as the number of newly displaced people increases.

And i’ve said before, guilt is useless and can easily curdle into resentment. A sense of moral obligation and solidarity on the other hand, can be productive.

On the longest night of the year, people from Afghan, Azeri, Iranian, Kurdish, Tajik and Uzbek communities celebrate Yalda.    It is a time for family and friends to gather, recite poetry, tell stories told, and share foods such as watermelon and pomegranate. Shab-e Yalda Mobarak!   (1/2)

در بلندترین شب سال، مردم جوامع افغان، آذری، ایرانی، کُرد، تاجیک و ازبک یلدا را جشن میگیرند. این فرصتی است که خانوادهها و دوستان دور هم جمع میشوند، شعر میخوانند، داستان تعریف میکنند و خوراکهایی مانند هندوانه و انار میل میکنند. شب یلدا مبارک! (2/2)

Final day to submit comments on the City of Kamloops 2026 Budget letstalk.kamloops.ca/budget2026

Night, all, and let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves.

In Germany the only source of electricity that keeps growing and growing: renewable energy. Solar and wind keep expanding and even though nuclear is no more coal generation has already shrunk significantly and keeps falling.

Q: “You said you would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd.” Trump: “I didn’t say that. You said that. I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news.” Trump on Dec. 3: “Whatever they have, we’d certainly release. No problem.”

We get by (thrive) with a little (essential) help from our friends! Awesome birthday walk with wonderful people this morning.

excited to award my kids the Burger King Peace Prize this weekend

In their confirmation hearings, RFK Jr pledged he would not be anti-vax, Hegseth said he respected women serving in leadership positions in the military, and Bondi said she would not weaponize DOJ against Trump’s political enemies.

Committees like these enable volunteers to contribute their time towards building and maintaining a city. Their time is worth millions of dollars and their advice saves millions more. Cutting these might save $160,000 in expense, but it will cost 10 times that amount to pay staff for half the work.

Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

I think the Fawcetts have provided so much to this community over an extended timeframe that I think it probably actually is debatable whether their development has any bearing on their donation to the Arts Centre or whether they are doing this because they want to leave a legacy.

Grizzly attack on 11 kids & teachers in BC. “one teacher jumped in front of the bear to allow the children to get away…he jabbed the bear’s eyes with his fingers and that’s how he was able to… how the bear just left him.” “That teacher was later airlifted from the scene.” Teachers are heroes.

Mr. Jekyll, when I shared the outcome of COP30 with him this morning. #caturday

I'm always thankful for the leadership AND engagement showcased by New West Mayor @pjnewwest.bsky.social ! Way to go my friend!

The magnitude of the Democrats’ win yesterday shows the rhythms of US democracy are still very much alive. The race against authoritarianism is clearly not lost yet.

💔 This was the most exciting post season baseball in years. The @bluejays.com united a nation. Heartbroken, but still so proud of that team.

A game of centimetres. We love you, Blue Jays!
