What We Prayed For

In the long nights dew on early spring flowers fierce joy in first dandelions defiant bursts of white on straggly twigs

Effortlessly it comes effortlessly the earth effortlessly the light

Imagine telling a flower to monetize its efforts imagine butterfly influencers teaching us how to read the breeze

As a Canucks fan I was sad when Quinn Hughes left. Not anymore.

As a contrast, I saw a video today of Sidney Crosby asking a girls hockey coach how to address the players before doing so. "are they ok with 'guys' or should I call them 'girls'?" That's respect.

The fact he was voted The Greatest Canadian yells us all what we value most: mutual care, support for the least of us, connection.

Tommy Douglas in a black-and-white studio portrait, shown from the chest up and facing slightly to the right. He is wearing round wire-rim glasses, a dark suit jacket, a white dress shirt, and a dark tie. His hair is neatly combed back. The background is plain and softly lit, with light falling across the right side of his face and the left side in gentle shadow.

Tommy Douglas was one of the most important politicians in Canadian history.
The premier of Saskatchewan, he later led the federal NDP and was instrumental in bringing in Universal Healthcare.
In 2004, he was named The Greatest Canadian.
This is his story.

The working forest model will have a transformative effect on the sector.

We’re with the BC Council of Forest Industries walking through the vision together.
We’re bringing everyone along this path, because it is their work that will get us there.

Building a long term relationship with the land base is essential.

Working with the land, not just on it. Certainty for workers, responsible stewardship, and making sure our forests continue to support jobs

Thank you to the TLA team for the candid discussion.

I too smoked dope before a Bob Dylan concert and walked out, and my friends had to come find me later, lying on the grass looking at the stars.

So I don't know what your connection to David Lynch is, but I'm feeling pretty cool right now.

I am watching the documentary of David Lynch called The Art of Life and have discovered that he and I share an experience.

He talks about smoking dope and going to see Bob Dylan, and being so unimpressed that he walked out.
