Maybe unhinged but where do bylaw officers fall on the β€˜I like a man in uniform’ spectrum

Absolutely. It’s a commerce and culture hub for the region, growing fast and there are so many things to talk about here.

A little about me - I grew up in Abby. Journalism journey started here. Interned at Abby News and the Mission city record. Wrote for UFV Cascade. I sold guitars at the local L&M. became a music blogger here. Nice to be back.

For real, really proud of what I was able to do at City. this was just the right time for me to move. Lot of coverage needed in the Valley as we’ve seen an attrition in news orgs. it just makes perfect sense to have a bureau in Abby, a commerce hub for the Valley that’s just growing and changing.

Hey what’s up? Programming change. I’m with the CBC in the Fraser Valley now, back in my hometown of Abby. Tell me what’s happening and I’ll try and look into it!

Great write by Dan Fumano on someone who did so much good in the DTES. I’m deeply sad to know that Trey Helten is gone. Last time I talked to him he was doing yard work with his dog and he dapped me up. RIP.

With McBarge in the news again I am finding all of the places that are violating my All Rights Reserved image and who have also purposely cropped out the watermark. The extent, from blogs to news organizations, is disheartening. Even @atlasobscura.com is using it (cropped) & crediting someone else.

Great trailer for this important and exciting film - written and directed by the talented @kierjunos.bsky.social and hosted by some other guy.

Oops I meant minister of crit min and mining

related, I spoke to the Minister of Critical Minerals and Trade last week. US isn’t BC’s biggest trade partner for critmin, but certainly we trade aluminum and steel. Minister didn’t commit to expanding critminerals trade to the US, just that trading partners need to diversify.

Premier Eby is expected to speak to media at YVR about US steel and aluminum tariffs, at 6:45 pm ahead of his flight to DC. We’ll have it live on CityNews 24/7. Apparently weather resulted in moving the flight up earlier which is why this presser is happening tonight.
