A B.C First-Nations-Muslim man, a member of the Heiltsuk Nation, was racially profiled while trying to open a bank account at a Surrey branch in 2021. The branch thought it unfathomable that an Indigenous person could be Muslim.

Here’s a reminder Islam is a religion, NOT an ethnic distinction.

‘Never seen a raft this large’: Conservationist thrilled to see large otter raft during Tofino trip Going on a whale watching trip, you can always expect to see a variety of the local wildlife around Vancouver Island, but on a recent trip near Tofino a "big highlight" ended up not being any of the ocean giants, but rather a raft of otters.

A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

The point of the VPs comments are to decrease the popularity of Canada in the United States.

Recent polling of how popular Canada is in the US has prompted them to try and drive our numbers down.

Their strategy appears to be the same as at home: blame everything on immigrants.

The Oil Tanker Ban That Dims Alberta’s Pipeline Hopes | The Tyee The law is six years old. But federal promises to protect BC’s north coast from spills date back decades.

Note, I am not old enough to recall the 70’s, but I did work for Anderson when he was Environment Minister in the Chrétien and Martin years.

Remember too, Anderson was an Olympic rower and medalist, and PET loved to row, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they had been up close to Hecate Straight.
